Yesterday, Apple unveiled the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air. All of them come with many new features and specs, but one interesting setting wasn't talked about during the presentation - though maybe it should have been. We're talking about using pulse width modulation (PWM) for dimming the screen, which basically means the screen is quickly turned off and then on again. This, rather understandably, causes some sensitive people eye strain, headaches, and other symptoms, especially when it's taking place at a low rate. Apple now has a solution. The...

Honor just unveiled an entry-level smartphone dubbed the Honor Play10. Unlike Play-series models, including the Play10C from a month ago, this one is a 4G-only phone – and it runs Android Go edition. This model is powered by the Helio G81. It comes in two configurations – 3/64GB and 4/128GB. Now, 4GB would be pretty tight, but we’ve seen phones with that much RAM run full Android instead of Go edition (including the Play10C). Anyway, at least it’s better than the Play9A, which used the Helio G36. Also, storage is expandable via microSD cards up to 1TB. Honor Play10 The...

Like previous generations, the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL will receive 7 major OS updates, meaning that support will end in 2032 with Android 23. That’s great for the software, but will the hardware live that long? The best way to find out is to wait and see – the second best (and much faster) way is to watch Zack from JerryRigEverything try to snap the phone in half. The 10-series supports the magnetic profile of Qi2, meaning that the phone has magnets built into the back – they are arranged in a big circle to hold accessories and there is an extra magnet under that for alignment. Zack uses a...
