Now that we've unboxed the Pro, it's time to do the same with the global Oppo Reno16. It's not often that the vanilla model is visually indistinguishable from the Pro model, but here we are. The Reno16 looks identical. It's even built around the same 6.32-inch display. The vanilla shares the 3D Pop Planet design and you can see the nebula-like effect on the back of the phone in the shot below. We like it, and it's just like Oppo's Reno series to have a sexy design. Here's a look at the design in action on TikTok. Having a great selfie camera is also in line with the Reno...

Microsoft really, really wants everyone to use Windows 11, but apparently a lot of people disagree and would rather stick with Windows 10. To that effect, the company introduced the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates programme last year, for those who are signed into Windows 10 with a Microsoft account. This was initially available until October 13, 2026, which is when support was going to be cut off for good. Well, not anymore. Microsoft has now quietly extended the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates programme for another year, until October 12, 2027. So, if you hate Windows...

Apple today announced its global price hikes, primarily targeting the Mac lineup but also including the iPad, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro, and HomePods. However, while the hikes may be global, they certainly aren't being raised globally in an equal fashion, with certain markets like India being hit way harder than others, like the US. There are three main factors to consider here. First, the prices have been hiked across the board. Second, the prices for memory and storage upgrades have also been hiked. And third, Apple India has changed the currency conversion rate that it has had...

Google's cut has gone from 30% to 10% for a developer's first $1 million in annual revenue. A billing fee is added to this, if you're using Google's billing system. In the US, UK, and EEA, this is set at 5%. This will first be available in the US, the UK, and the European Economic Area on June 30. The full breakdown of the new fees is below. Developers will also be able to use other billing systems that aren't Google's. This will be available "to all...

Exactly one month after they were announced in China, Oppo’s Reno16 and Reno16 Pro are now making their way to the global markets, but not without some changes. The major one is the choice of chipsets, where the global Reno16 Pro is bumped down to a MediaTek Dimensity 8550 Super, compared to the Chinese version’s Dimensity 9500s. The vanilla Reno16 gets a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 under the hood. The Pro is offered with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, while the vanilla comes in 8/256GB and 8/512GB trims.

The Oppo Reno16 series was unveiled on May 25, though this was for the Chinese models. The global models (which have slightly different hardware) were unveiled earlier today – here are all the details. However, the launch in India is coming next week on July 2 and will feature a slightly different lineup. The Oppo Reno16 is featured heavily on Oppo India’s site and on the Amazon India landing page.

Samsung and Alcedis are forming a partnership to bridge together health data from wearable devices and clinical research. Of course, Samsung will provide the health data. At the same time, Alcedis, as a digital-first clinical research organization, will collect, analyze and translate biometrics data into meaningful evidence that can later be used for pharmaceutical or other clinical research. It does make sense, to some extent, since wearable devices are widespread among the population and are a cost-effective way to collect continuous real-world health data. The problem is that not...
