Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE gets official in Germany, starts at €649

The much-leaked and very rumored big mid-range Samsung tablet is now official in Germany, and it's not called Galaxy Tab S7+ Lite or anything like that, as previously hinted at. Instead, the Korean company went with Galaxy Tab S7 FE, in a rather obvious bid to unify the naming schemes of its phones and tablets. So "FE" now stands for "great value for money", or "flagship killer", something like that. Well, not literally (it's still "fan edition"), but you get the point. This is basically a cut down version of the flagship Galaxy Tab S7+. Cut down, but not literally, in size - the...

Apple's newly released iPad Pro 2021 features a brand new generation of LCD panels with mini-LED backlight and up until now, we didn't have much information about the current implementation and the under-the-hood features it provides. The updated user manual on Apple's official website gives us a good idea of the XDR Display.

iQOO Neo5 Lite announced with Snapdragon 870 SoC and 144Hz screen

vivo introduced the iQOO Neo5 in March, and today the company followed up with its more affordable version, dubbed iQOO Neo5 Lite. Like the Neo5, the Lite variant also comes with a Snapdragon 870 SoC, Android 11-based OriginOS, and a 16MP selfie camera. But that's where the similarities end, since the iQOO Neo5 Lite packs a 6.57" FullHD+ 144Hz LCD instead of a tad larger AMOLED panel on the regular Neo5 with a 120Hz refresh rate, meaning you get a side-mounted fingerprint reader instead of an in-display solution. Another difference between the two smartphones is in the battery...
