Weekly poll results: iPhone SE (2020) splits opinions

Last week we asked you if you'd buy the new iPhone SE (2020) and 46% of those who answered said they are interested. Interestingly enough the small powerful aspect of the phone excited more people than the relatively low asking price. Among those that find the iPhone SE (2020) not good enough far the 2014 bezels were far more of an issue than the solitary rear camera - by a nearly 3:1 margin. Those people that would buy the iPhone SE (2020) would more often choose 128GB as their base storage with 64GB chosen as a second option. Not many people would go for a 256GB model, which...

Our OnePlus 8 video review is up

The OnePlus 8 finally arrived mid-April, and it comes with a new curved display, neat colors, and the latest and greatest Snapdragon chipset. The company made its name manufacturing affordable flagships, but the OnePlus 8 starts from €699, which is not quite as aggressive as any of its predecessor. OnePlus 8 offers 30W fast-charging, and it reached 69% charge in just 30 minutes. Sadly, this phone does not support wireless charging, which is reserved for the OnePlus 8 Pro. One big change that OnePlus made is to remove the telephoto lens and put a depth sensor while keeping the exact...

The latest Meizu 17 teaser is all about that haptic mEngine 3.0

Not long before, there were just a couple of Android phones that offered proper haptic feedback that could go against Apple's iPhones. But in the last two or so years, even more affordable Android phones started incorporating better haptic engines and Meizu follows suit. After a series of teasers about cameras, loudspeakers, high-refresh rate display and charging speeds, the company decided to let us in on the so-called mEngine 3.0 haptic feedback motor. The Weibo post reads "mEngine 3.0 horizontal linear motor" but we can't be entirely sure what that means. One would assume, though,...

The next Galaxy Z Flip could come with three cameras on its back, patent suggests

There are still plenty of time before Samsung launches the Galaxy Z Flip successor, but that doesn't mean that development hasn't started already. In fact, according to a design patent at WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office), Samsung is looking into two potential designs both of which include a triple-camera module on the back. The Model A features a familiar design with horizontal camera placement, but due to the bigger module, the secondary screen used for notifications looks a little bit smaller. Whereas Model B adopts a vertical stack giving much more room for the mini OLED...

Redmi K30i to come with 48MP main cam instead of 64MP

When the Redmi K30 launched back in December, only the Chinese variant offered 5G connectivity with the global one settling for 4G only. Now rumors suggest that the Redmi K30i will take on the challenge to be the cheapest 5G smartphone on the market and it would probably be available outside of China too. But to keep the price low, some corners have to be cut. In this case, the Redmi K30i would most probably employ a cheaper 48MP main sensor for its quad-camera array on the back instead of the 64MP one found on the current Redmi K30 phones. The information comes from a string in...

Upcoming Samsung Galaxy Buds X to have noise cancellation

It's no secret anymore that Samsung is working on a proper successor to the Galaxy Buds+ called Galaxy Buds X. Or they would probably co-exist, but given the rumored price of around $140, we suspect the Buds X will replace the older generation. Anyway, according to the US Patent Office listing, the Galaxy Buds X will offer active noise cancellation undercutting Apple's AirPods Pro and the Pixel Buds 2. The design also looks a little funky from those leaked renders from a month ago. Since the pair stopped by the US Patent Office, Samsung is perhaps gearing up for a release sooner...
