iQOO Neo6 SE's battery size confirmed

The iQOO Neo6 SE arriving on May 6 was said to pack a 4,700 mAh battery, and that rumor has turned out to be true since iQOO today announced that the Neo6 SE will have a 4,700 mAh battery under the hood, which will go from 1% to 100% in 30 minutes with its 80W adapter. However, it's worth noting that iQOO achieved those results when it charged the battery in a room with an ambient temperature of 26°C, and the charging time will likely vary depending on your room's ambient temperature. iQOO previously confirmed that the Neo6 SE will be powered by the Snapdragon 870 SoC and have 256GB...

OnePlus Nord2 finally gets first Android 12 Open Beta build

Following an earlier release of an Open Beta build of Android 12 for the original Nord, today OnePlus has finally managed to get round to issuing a similar release for the much newer Nord2, which launched last July running Android 11 and is still stuck on that version of the OS even today.

As usual with such builds, don't go down this path if you're not comfortable with bugs and random issues showing up. The Open...

Work on this has been ongoing for a while now, Alessandro Paluzzi dug into the Instagram app and found the option back in...

Netflix will expand its Games catalog to up to 50 titles by the end of this year

Last year Netflix launched the Games service, which allows subscribers of the streaming giant to download and play select Android and iOS games for free. 17 titles are available at the moment, but The Washington Post reports that the company aims to grow that list to nearly 50 games. To be clear, we’re talking about games that run on your device, you just don’t have to buy them (similar to Apple Arcade) and there are no ads or in-app purchases. This isn’t a game streaming service like GeForce Now or Google Stadia. It looks like the company will leverage vertical integration – it is...

The dimensions given by @OnLeaks are 164.5 x 76.5 x 9.18 mm, fractions of a millimeter larger than the A03s. However, the display is expected to stay at 6.5”, probably still an HD+ panel.
