Top 10 trending phones of week 23

Week 23 brings us one of the more intriguing installments of our trending chart with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra topping it.

iQOO Z6 Pro hands-on

Week 23 in review: Apple brings iOS 16, M2 chip, new MacBook Air

This week was Apple's WWDC developer conference, and we got a packed event. Per tradition, Apple showed new versions of its smartphone, tablet, computer and smartwatch platforms. It all started with iOS. We didn't get an always-on display announcement, meaning Apple is keeping it as an iPhone 14 Pro exclusive for this Fall. We did get a big lockscreen overhaul with the option to change the visuals of the date and time, as well as moving the notifications to the bottom, making things easier to access, and cleaner. Notifications themselves got smarter. Apple also unveiled the M2, its...

Flashback: a decade of Xiaomi battery and fast charging tech

Battery charging is one of the few remaining segments in the smartphone world where proprietary technologies can thrive. Most companies use chipsets from the same suppliers, they buy the same screens and camera sensors too. But the batteries and accompanying hardware is sometimes fully custom and has been a field of fast-paced innovation in the last few years. Okay, USB Power Delivery exists, some might say it’s the best option because of its wide support. The same argument can be made for Qi on the wireless charging front. But right now proprietary systems allow for higher speeds and are...
