In 2019 the US placed Huawei on a trade blacklist, which meant that US companies required a special license to continue trading. Licenses were granted to the likes of AMD, Intel and Qualcomm, the latter was allowed to ship 4G-only chipsets (which we have seen in recent Huawei P and Mate series models). Licenses continued to be granted during the early days of President Biden’s administration, but insiders now say that the US is looking to expand the list of banned items. The new additions are said to include 4G tech, Wi-Fi 6 and 7, tech related to artificial intelligence as well as...

Samsung published its financial results for the final quarter of 2022 and the fiscal year, and once again, it managed to reach record revenue for the full 12 months - KRW 302.23 trillion (about $244 billion). This is an 8% increase compared with 2021; however, operating profit was KRW 43.38 trillion, 15% less than it was the previous year. The Q4 period was underwhelming for the Korean company, as it recorded a decline in sales in virtually all divisions because of weak demand caused by the global economic slowdown. The Mobile Experience (MX) division saw a 9% YoY decline in...

The analyst revealed there aren’t going to be any releases in the next “9-12 months,” and first in line for an announcement will be the iPad mini, expected to begin mass production in Q1 2024.

Next week we'll finally witness the unveiling of the Galaxy S23 series alongside the Galaxy Book3 laptops. But for now, it's back to regular leaks as we recap the last week's stories. The Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra will all be slightly more expensive than their predecessors were (only the Galaxy S23+' starting Indian price is lower than last year's S22+ was but that's unofficial). We saw an unboxing of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which only reaffirmed what we already knew - the phone comes without a charger or cable. We also got some camera samples, showcasing the Night...

Samsung's first Unpacked event for 2023 is nearly upon us and despite the myriad of leaks that have taken most of the curiosity away from us, it's still one of the most important events the year. So let's summarize all of the leaks to get a better idea of what we expect. Galaxy S23 series We'll see the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, along with the S23 and S23+, and likely some new laptops. It's very unlikely we'll see new tablets, and extremely unlikely for any smartwatch and headphone announcements. The Galaxy S23 Ultra will carry on the design of its predecessor, but it will come in...

Motorola unveiled five new mid-range and entry level smartphones earlier this week – the Moto G73 and G53, the Moto G23, G13 and E13. The two higher end G-series models now flaunt 5G connectivity (which the G72 and G52 lacked), the other three stick to 4G. Moto G73 • Moto G53 • Moto G23 • Moto G13 • Moto E13 Before we dive into the details for each phone, here are the prices for the new models, so that you have context when looking at what features each phone offers: Moto G73 (8/256GB) - €300 Moto G53 (4/128GB) - €250 Moto G23 (4/64GB) - €230 Moto G13...

After we posted last week’s poll about smartphone charging speeds, we kept an eye on it. After a few hours the 15-30 minutes and 30-45 minutes options were evenly matched, both outpacing the other answers in the poll. But then things started to turn. In a surprising result the poll ended with the 15 minutes or less option on top and by quite a margin too. People have really warmed up to fast charging. The 15-30 and 30-45 minute answers are still evenly matched, but they fell well behind the super fast option. As usual there were concerns about the negative effects on battery longevity...

By early 2020 the Galaxy S10 series was preparing to retire. A year earlier it had introduced the world’s first 5G phone and brought the surprisingly popular S10e model along with the usual S10 vanilla and plus phones. But there was just enough time for one last hurrah before the S20 series launched in February. The Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite was announced in early February 2020 and went on sale a month later, just days before the official introduction of the S20 models. In some ways it was a prototype for the Galaxy S20 FE – it used older but still premium hardware and it cost less than the...

We've been hearing about a Coca-Cola-branded smartphone for the past few days, which was expected to be a special edition Realme 10 or 10 Pro given its resemblance to these smartphones and Realme teasing a collaboration with Coca-Cola. Now a tweet by Realme VP Mr. Madhav Sheth suggests the Coca-Cola Phone (not the confirmed name) will be a special edition Realme 10 Pro. Sheth posted a photo (attached below) of the Realme 10 Pro's Hyperspace Gold version with a reflection of a Coca-Cola can on its rear panel, suggesting the Coca-Cola Phone will be a special edition Realme 10...

Oppo's Reno8 T has been leaking a lot in the past few weeks, and yesterday we finally found out when its announcement is going to be held: on February 8, at least for the Philippines. Now, also from the Philippines, we have the price of the upcoming device to talk about, as it's been revealed by a Facebook ad for a brick-and-mortar physical store in Quezon City. According to the listing, which shows multiple Reno8 T boxes ready to be sold to customers, the phone will be priced at PHP 18,999, which currently equates to $348 and €320, respectively. Due to the lack of visible 5G...

EU’s Consumer Protection Cooperation Network (CPCN) has been in talks with Google since 2021 to make certain online services more transparent and to make them better aligned with the Union’s geo-blocking regulations. The Google Play Store lets you browse versions intended for different countries within the EU - something you may not have known (here’s how). Google has agreed to make this option more visible to users. Google allows you to change your country of residence once a year, but some of the restrictions that apply infringe on the geo-blocking regulations, according to the...

It appears we can add the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra prices for India to those for Germany, Europe, and the US. The prices aren't official just yet, mind, but it's always nice to have an idea. The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ start at 8/128GB and are INR 79,999 and INR89,999, respectively. The Galaxy S23 Ultra's starting configuration of 8/256GB is INR114,999.

Samsung and Qualcomm have struck a deal and the upcoming Galaxy S23 series will use an exclusive chipset whose official name will be “Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy”. That’s quite a mouthful, isn’t it? Don’t worry, Samsung has prepared a more concise way to remind people of the bespoke chipset powering its new flagships. The modified Snapdragon logo includes Galaxy branding The modified Snapdragon logo will be used in relevant promo images. Speaking of, some promo images have already leaked justdays ahead of the official unveiling on February 1. Be prepared...

A couple of days ago, we saw the render of a Coca-Cola-branded smartphone, but there was no confirmation about its maker since the phone had no logo of any smartphone brand. However, given its resemblance to the Realme 10/10 Pro, it was reasonable to expect that the Cola Phone would be a special edition of one of these Realme smartphones. And that's what will likely happen since Realme today posted a short clip on Twitter hinting at its collaboration with Coca-Cola. Leaked image of the Coca-Cola Phone (not the confirmed name) Realme posted a video clip on Twitter having the text...

Apple is in a battle to reduce its reliance on third-party suppliers by taking component manufacturing in-house. Just as it did with its A-series mobile chipsets and M-series SoCs, Cupertino is rumored to bring wireless chips, 5G modems and even display production for its iPhones, Apple Watches and Macs in-house. The latest semiconductor survey from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims Apple will backtrack on its Wi-Fi chip development and will continue to rely on Broadcom as its key supplier. Apple is devoting most of its IC design resources to its chipset development. Kuo also mentions that...

The IDC Smartphone Tracker reported a pretty subpar record of worldwide smartphone shipments for Q4 2022 as the market contracted by 18.3% to 300.3 million shipments. All five major brands faced double-digit declines on the yearly basis compared to Q4 2021 and the total figure represents the largest quarterly decline. The big Q4 decline in shipments contributed to the yearly contraction of 11.3% compared to 2021 figures. A grand total of 1.21 billion smartphones were shipped in 2022 compared to 1.36 billion in 2021. Company Q4 2022 shipments (million) Q4 2022...

Samsung had dibs on the original Gorilla Glass Victus, then the Galaxy S22 series was the first to introduce the improved Victus+ and now history is about to repeat itself. The upcoming Galaxy S23 models will be the first to feature the new Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Version 2 is focused on surviving drops, including falls on very rough surfaces like concrete from up to 1m (hip height) or up to 2m (head height) if it falls on asphalt. This improved drop resistance didn’t come at the cost of scratch resistance, however. GG Victus 2 has an environmentalist streak as it contains an average of...

Samsung has released a series of enormous gaming monitors under the Odyssey brand – like the 55” 16:9 Ark or the bonkers 57” 32:9 Neo G9. These are curved monitors, however, while some users prefer flat. The new Odyssey Neo G7 (model name: G70NC) is for them. This is a 43” display with 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160px, 16:9). The Odyssey displays are large enough to be used as TVs – in fact, they are Tizen smart TVs – and a flat display works better for that. The other models use tight curvatures optimized for use at a desk rather than watching them from the couch. 144Hz refresh...

Almost all smartphones come with non-removable batteries these days, but TCL is ready to provide the exception called Ion X. If you live in the US, you are able to purchase it for $119 from Metro starting today. It can also be free if you open a new line or migrate your number. The TCL Ion X packs a 3,000 mAh removable battery, allowing you to swap it out with a new one if it degrades over time. You can also carry a spare battery for instant top-ups. A removable battery is still the fastest way to have a phone with a fully charged battery after all. In addition to a removable...

One of the phones is coming with a 108MP camera, and by the looks of it, the Philippines are getting the other one, which is said to be the 4G option. Oppo...

In what might be the latest addition to the “weird phones from unexpected brands” list, Coca-Cola appears to be readying a new partnership with an established smartphone maker.

Edwards Urbina has been snapping photos with a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra days before the new flagship has been officially unveiled. Now he has moved on to showing off the phone’s improved video capabilities. Here is a 4K 60fps sample uploaded to YouTube: Unfortunately, this is the only one uploaded so far. Urbina has posted more videos on Twitter, but the social network doesn’t handle high resolution video so well. Still, here is an 8K video sample recorded with the main 200MP camera (based on the new ISOCELL HP2 sensor). It has been compressed far too much to talk about image...

SK hynix unveiled the “world’s fastest mobile DRAM”, which it calls LPDDR5T. The “T” stands for “Turbo” as the new RAM chips are 13% faster than the LPDDR5X RAM that has recently started appearing on premium devices. LPDDR5T runs at 9.6Gbps compared to 8.5Gbps for 5X and 6.4Gbps for the original LPDDR5. At this speed the new RAM can go through 77GB worth of data in one second.

Popular Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya was spotted using an unreleased Poco X series smartphone last week, and it was unclear whether it was just a product placement or Pandya would be seen in Poco's future X series ad campaigns. Well, we now know it is the latter since Poco's Indian branch today announced the all-around cricketer as its brand ambassador. In a press note sent to the media, Poco said that as a brand, it "focuses on challenging the status quo and representing every individual who is looking to pursue perfection and greater alternatives to the mainstream" and thus saw Pandya...

Facebook’s parent company Meta has a feature for Messenger called Secret conversation, providing end-to-end encryption that doesn’t save chats on cloud servers. Now, these messages don’t have to be dull with blue/gray bubbles on a white background - Meta introduced customizations for the chats. Different users in the secret conversation can set nicknames, chat themes, custom emojis and reactions, and group photos - pretty much all features that made regular chats different and unique for every friend and group of friends. Other changes include link preview, active status, and even...

Samsung’s Mobile eXperience (MX) team is allegedly working on a bespoke chipset for future Galaxy flagship phones. However, it’s still early days and it will not be ready for the Galaxy S23 series.

The answer may be “no” as Yogesh Brar relayed information that the “Snapdragon Mobile Platform for Galaxy” will not be a one-off thing for this year but will be used next year as well. The Galaxy S23 chipset...

According to a newly listed code change, Google will set stricter measures when it comes to outdated apps being installed on new devices. Starting with version 14, Android won't allow even sideloading apps that target older versions of the OS. As of now, Google doesn't allow newly listed apps on Google Play to target Android versions older than 12, but still allows users to sideload older software. Also, Google Play will still allow you to install older apps, which you have already installed in the past. As we already pointed out, all that is about to change with Android 14....

The Helio A22-powered device is already up for sale in select retail stores in India at the price of INR6,999, which is about $85. Tecno Spark Go 2023 is a slight upgrade over its 2022 namesake.

Recent leaks have revealed upcoming Motorola mid-rangers and entry level phones – we saw the Moto G53 and G73 a few days ago, then the the Moto G23 yesterday.

During a trade conference, Piyush Goyal said about 5-7% of Apple products are currently being made in India, and the goal is for this number to increase five times.
