The WH-CH720N are Sony's latest alphabet soup wireless noise-canceling headphones. The CH-series is Sony's mid-range offering with a balanced feature set that sits under the more premium 1000X series and alongside more specialized models like the XB extra bass series. The CH720N sits at the top of that range with a fairly broad feature set that makes it essentially a lite version of the 1000XM5. You get Sony's active noise-cancellation along with a claimed 'balanced' tuning for the sound, all powered by the dedicated Sony V1 processor, also found on the 1000XM5. Let's see how they...

Unlimited power! For a brief moment in 2019 there was a smartphone with a massive 18,000mAh battery – yes, that’s 3-4 times bigger than a typical phone battery today. However, it failed to find an audience and it launch was canceled. We’re talking about the Energizer Power Max P18K Pop, a highly descriptive name for a unique phone. The P18K should be self explanatory. “Pop” refers to the dual popup camera (it housed a 16MP module plus a 2MP depth sensor for face scanning). The Energizer Power Max P18K Pop was a beast of a phone with an 18,000mAh battery This phone was...

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is said to arrive earlier than expected, and while we are yet to hear anything about it from the Korean conglomerate, we just got our first look at the Galaxy Z Fold5, courtesy of OnLeaks, who shared a 360° video and 5K renders of the foldable smartphone.

The tech, called Flat Panel Haptics, provides tactile feedback on a flat surface using inflatable buttons. The FPH is 5 millimeters thick and incorporates an Embedded Electro-Osmotic Pump.

During an Honor event at its R&D center in Shenzhen, the company's CEO said it has ambitious plans to take on Apple's iOS. He also said that Honor's R&D expenses in 2022 account for 10% of the company's total revenue, which is the main reason for being so optimistic about the future of MagicOS.

Introduction Xiaomi's proprietary MIUI software matured quite a bit over the years and we can confidently say that the last couple of generations don't have that burdened Chinese feel. And we are not implying that Chinese software is bad. It's just often tailored toward a completely different market and user base. MIUI 14 doesn't feel like that at all. It brings a ton of customization options to cater to anyone's needs. And at the same time, it feels clean, simple and usable. However, the latest iteration offers no measurable changes over the last MIUI 13 generation, at...

A couple of days ago, Poco announced it would unveil the Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro on May 9. Today, the company revealed the Pro model would pack a flat WQHD+ screen with a punch hole in the center for the selfie camera. The image shared by Poco shows the F5 Pro has a power button on the right-side frame joined by the volume rocker, with the USB-C port at the bottom flanked by a SIM card slot, microphone, and speaker. There are no antenna lines on the phone's frame, meaning it's not metal. Poco doesn't show us the rear side of the F5 Pro, but it did tease the vanilla F5 in a new color,...

Google cannot keep its Pixel devices under wrap prior to their official releases and the Pixel 7a is no different. After being leaked in just about every way imaginable, including a developer unit making its way online in detailed images we now have what seem like official marketing materials for the Pixel 7a.

There’s also mention of the new 64MP main cam which is believed to...

Apple came in second with 58 million shipments and a 21% share of the market....

Since last October, we've been hearing about the Apple iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max skipping the traditional, clickable volume keys in favor of solid-state buttons offering haptic feedback on presses, with the mute switch replaced by a multi-functional haptic button, said to be inspired by Apple Watch Ultra's Action Button. We recently heard that Apple would skip these solid-state buttons and Action Button on 2023's Pro iPhones due to technical issues, but new CAD renders shared by 9to5Mac suggest the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will come with the Action Button after...

The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has ruled against Microsoft’s $68.7 billion acquisition deal of Blizzard Entertainment. As per the CMA, the potential deal for Blizzard Entertainment would make Microsoft a dominant player in the cloud gaming sphere while in turn stifling competition and leaving UK gamers with less choice in the years to come. Cloud gaming needs a free, competitive market to drive innovation and choice. Microsoft already enjoys a powerful position and head start over other competitors in cloud gaming and this deal would strengthen that advantage giving it...

Apple will start using microLED panels as early as 2024, reveals The Korea Herald. This is the third time we hear such a move is on the way from a third different outlet, suggesting the switch is innevitable. According to a report by the Institute for Information & Communications Technology Promotion (IITP), Apple is looking to eventually manufacture the panels itself, but it won't be ready to do so at the start of the transition. That's why it will keep sourcing panels from South Korea, with at least 60% of the orders going to Samsung Display and LG Display. The transition from...

The IE 200 are Sennheiser's entry-level in-ear monitors. If you've ever felt envious of the company's more expensive IE 300, IE 600, or the flagship IE 900 models, then at $150, the IE 200 is a much easier pill to swallow, especially since the previous entry point cost twice as much. With the IE 200, Sennheiser has a very clear goal; to offer an exceptionally neutral sound signature at an affordable price. This is a bit of a departure from the other models in the series, which have all come to be known as bass cannons. In that sense, it is a bit of a role reversal. If you want the most...

Last week’s poll was all about gaming phones following the announcement of the Asus ROG Phone 7 duo and it’s time we look at the results. The majority of voters (over 42%) said they don’t want a gaming phone for now. It seems most of you are still not sold on the idea of a dedicated gaming phone and there were several good reasons in the comments section. High pricing seems to be one of the key pitfalls for devices like the ROG Phone 7 as they are in the same range as the top-tier flagships from established brands. Some suggested gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck are a more...
