Asus Zenfone 7 Pro disassembly video shows a new flip-up camera design

The Asus Zenfone 7 Pro is one of few phones that have a flip-up camera – its predecessor had one too. However, the disassembly video below shows that Asus has significantly modified the design. If you watch this video, showing the disassembly of the Zenfone 6, you’ll see that the motor is located right next to the camera module it rotates. On the Zenfone 7 the motor is built into the camera module itself. One thing that hasn’t changed is the stacked PCB design – there are two boards on top of each other. Both are cooled through thermal paste and copper, including two heat pipes wick...

Huawei to lose LG and Samsung as display suppliers

The September 15 deadline is looking increasingly dreary for Huawei – the company’s display supply line will shrink in addition to being cut off from TSMC’s chip foundries.

Motorola has taken the wraps off its new foldable device, the Razr 5G.

The cat is out of the bag, so Microsoft decided to just drop a short video covering the highlights of the Xbox Series S console instead of trying to deny rumors. Here’s what the video revealed.

The LG Velvet 5G for T-Mobile is the first smartphone powered by a Dimensity chipset outside of China.
