Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro to have QHD+ display, 120 Hz refresh rate

Xiaomi is expected to be among the first companies to launch a phone with the Snapdragon 875 - the Mi 11 and Mi 11 Pro. According to one leakster, the Pro version will also have a very intriguing display with QHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. The new screen of the Mi 11 Pro will be a massive upgrade over the Mi 10 Pro that brings a 1080p resolution and “just” 90 Hz refresh rate. The leakster revealed the selfie shooter will stay in the upper left corner and the whole panel will have some curved sides, but nothing extraordinary. Similar is the situation with the cameras - just a...

imoo Watch Phone Z6 review

Introduction We’ve reviewed plenty of smartwatches here on GSMArena and a couple of thousand phones, even a couple of watch phones, but none quite like this one. As my daughter started attending pre-school this year I went searching for a solution that will give her the piece of mind of being able to reach us any time without proving much of distraction to her or anyone around her. My search brought me to the imoo Watch Phone Z6 and, having already put it to use for a full month, this review was born. The short version is that it’s a great purchase although its software has a lot of...

Week 46 in review: Apple M1 and new MacBooks are here, Google Photos free backups axed

Welcome to another week's recap. The biggest story came late in the week and it's likely that you learned about it from your Google Photos app. Google will end the free tier of unlimited photo uploads after June 1, 2021. After that anything you upload will count against your free 15GB of storage. Naturally there are a lot of storage upgrade plans for people that find the 15GB insufficient - $2.99 a month buys you 200GB. Apple held its final event of 2020 to announce the first Apple-developed ARM-based chip for OS X devices. The 5nm Apple M1 chip has an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU and...

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max in for review

With the vanilla IPhone 12 and 12 Pro reviews out of the way, it's time to turn our heads to the biggest member in the family - the iPhone 12 Pro Max. In fact, this is the biggest iPhone to date with a 6.7-inch display compared to the 6.5-inch on the previous generation. Beyond that you are getting the same, crisp Super Retina XDR OLED panel with a resolution of 1284 x 2778px. You get a new protective layer with ceramic glass polymer, which is supposed to be tougher than before. Of course, it's still developed in collaboration with Corning. To drive all those pixels, Apple is...

Top 10 trending phones of week 46

We were expecting the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max to capitalize on its market launch and try to retake the lead it lost last week, but it came just short. The reason was that a shocking new leader emerged from the rumor mill. The Realme 7 5G was officially confirmed to debut next week and it seems it really got everyone's attention. It easily topped our trending chart ahead of the Pro Max and another yet-to-be-announced phone - the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G. The upcoming Xiaomi mid-ranger completes its second week in the top 3 even though it's still some way from official status - certainly a good...

Oculus Quest 2 review

Introduction Go through the geeky team here at GSMArena and you can easily find a wealth of expertise on anything from drones and electric scooters to robot vacuum cleaners and fancy coffee makers. There are a bunch of avid gamers between us and plenty of tinkerers, so it should come as no surprise that there are a few VR enthusiasts in the mix, as well. This reviewer has personally owned an original HMD (Vive DK1) back in the day, followed by various experiments with Samsung's Gear VR and Google's Cardboard and Daydream platforms and View headsets. Beyond that, I have experience with the...
