Samsung Galaxy A51 and A71 get new camera features

Samsung is out with a new update today, and this one is headed to both the Galaxy A51 and the Galaxy A71. These are probably the company's best selling devices, in that order, so it makes sense that it would take care of them on the software front. And taking care of them it is. Samsung is pushing features like Single take, My filters, and Night hyperlapse to these two handsets, features previously spotted on flagships. Of course the cameras on the A51 and A71 are nowhere near flagship level, but some people may find these new features useful even so. You also get Quick Share and...

Our Samsung Galaxy A51 5G video review is out

We reviewed the Galaxy A51 earlier this year, but there's more to its 5G than a added support for NR networks. The written review of the Samsung Galaxy A51 5G is already complete and now Will is ready to guide you through the pros and cons on video. The phone comes with an Exynos 980 chipset, the midrange 5G platform by Samsung, and that comes with better performance than the Exynos 9611-powered LTE version of the Galaxy A51. It also has improved build to go with the extra antennas, which adds to a slightly more premium feel. Will remained unimpressed with the price tag of the...

OnePlus Nord listed on Romanian retailer with price and specs

A retailer in Romania has already listed the OnePlus Nord and it put a RON 2,300 price tag on it. That’s €475 or INR 40,000, though we suspect the euro conversion is more accurate than the rupee one – OnePlus phones in India sell for less than they do in Europe (India and Europe will be the two launch markets for the Nord). This also works out to $535, which is higher than the promised price of “under $500”. But there’s no point in getting into details since the store clearly used a render for the phone image – just check out the centered selfie camera, the actual phone has a dual selfie...

TikTok is owned by China-based ByteDance, but the company says its user data isn't stored in China - something they told the Indian government recently following a ban along with 58...

Kuo: Apple's AirPods 3 will adopt AirPods Pro's SiP technology

The next-generation AirPods are expected to be released sometime in 2021 and according to Ming-Chi Kuo, a renowned Apple analyst, the pair will adopt the more advanced SiP technology instead of the current SMT tech.
