Samsung Galaxy F42 5G seems to be a rebranded Galaxy A22 5G

Samsung's Galaxy F42 5G first surfaced last month when it received its Wi-Fi certification, and today it's back again, this time with the Bluetooth certification. This signifies that it's getting closer to launch. The weird thing is that the certification for the Galaxy F42 5G is shared with the one for the recently unveiled Galaxy A22 5G, and this strongly hints at the fact that the F42 5G may be nothing but a rebranded version of the A22 5G. It wouldn't be the first time Samsung did something like this with the F series rebranding products from the A series, in fact it's been pretty much...

The new Huawei MatePad T 10 Kids Edition is designed for very young kids

Huawei introduced the MatePad T 10 Kids Edition, a tablet for young children. Like the MatePad T 10s it is powered by a Kirin 710A chipset, but it has a smaller, lower resolution display – a 9.7” 1,280 x 800 px IPS LCD (156 ppi). It runs Android 10 with EMUI 10.1 (sorry, no HarmonyOS here, no Google services either) and comes with 2 GB of RAM and 16 or 32 GB storage with a microSD expansion slot. This one really is made for very young kids. If the brightly-colored exterior wasn’t enough of a hint, the tablet is covered with an anti-shock case made out of food-grade silicone (in case...

Rumor: Samsung may be hiring ex Apple and AMD engineers to design a custom CPU

Samsung shut down its in-house CPU design department because the Mongoose cores underperformed compared to the stock ARM designs. Qualcomm stopped using custom cores years ago. But now things are changing. A new report claims that Samsung is courting former CPU engineers from Apple and AMD, one of which was a major player in the development of Apple’s custom chipsets. That engineer is demanding to be fully in control of their own team and to choose which employees to bring onto said team. Apparently Samsung is not satisfied with the performance of the new Cortex-X series and is looking...

A couple of years ago Xiaomi, Oppo and vivo joined forces to create the Mutual Transfer Alliance (MTA) – a standardized way to transfer files between devices (phones and computers) locally over a 20 MB/s wireless connection. After a few months of beta testing, the feature went live. Since then other companies have joined the Alliance, a list that now includes Samsung. Besides the original trio, OnePlus, Meizu, ZTE, Black Shark and HiSense are on board, as is Asus and its gaming brand Republic of Gamers. But Samsung joining the fold is a big deal.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 rumored to be pricier than Mi 11 Ultra and have UD camera

A Mi Mix 4 is coming, an increasingly large number of rumors suggests. And a new report coming from China gives us a little bit of detail regarding the phone's pricing and its main appeal - the display. According to MyDrivers, the handset is going to be more expensive than the Mi 11 Ultra but there's a good reason for that. Firstly, it will adopt an under-display camera and secondly, the screen will have equally thin side bezels to ensure a proper full-screen experience. We wonder how the engineering team is able to minimize the size of the bottom frame. Strangely, the display will...
