introduction It’s been a tough year for the whole world, and fancy gadgets aren’t something you buy in a time of crisis. IPhone production hasn’t been affected as much by the pandemic, and we saw the first generation iPhone 12 again last October. It was interesting, of course, but also very conservative and … unoriginal if you will. But it’s been quite a while since we’ve seen big leaps in technology, so a new design and 5G connectivity will have to do the trick. The iPhone 12 is yet another glass phone with an OLED display, a few cameras, and…

Samsung has set up a few support pages on its various websites signaling the imminent release of several new smartphones. The one that steals the show is probably the Galaxy M62 – a phone supposed to be the top of the company’s entry-level lineup. The support page itself only reveals the model number, but since this matches some previous leaks, we get some specs. The SM-M625F is believed to contain an Exynos 9825 SoC (the one that powers the Galaxy Note10 series) and a 7000mAh battery. It makes us wonder, however, why would the recently teased M62 and F62 compete…
Russian luxury accessories brand Caviar has outfitted the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max with more lavish cases covered in diamonds, gold and ancient weapon shards for its latest warrior-themed collection. This is a continuation of the previous warrior collection unveiled in October and adds six new models. The most expensive new model is the Mao Edition which takes its name from the Mao long lance used in ancient China during the Han Dynasty. It features a 24k gold plaque around its back mixed with a mahogany insert and topped with a blood drop shaped ruby stone near the…
We’ve seen reports of at least two different Realme TWS headphones coming up – the Buds Q2 and the Buds Air 2, but we might have a third as well. According to this leaked image, the company is bringing a set of Buds with active noise cancellation, which was reserved for the Pro edition in the initial lineup. Ishan Agarwal shared on Twitter an image showing The Chainsmokers (EDM duo) promoting the company’s future headphones alongside a slogan that read “Noise off, Realme on.” The partnership also hints at more premium products and points to the successors of Buds Air…
Google is testing the dark theme again for its search page. The last time users reported seeing a dark theme was last month. The dark theme of the world’s most visited page will follow your favorite Windows or macOS theme. If you’ve set yours to Light, Google search will remain unchanged, set it to Dark, and you’ll be greeted with the new Dark theme. The dark theme doesn’t make the background completely black, but rather a very dark gray. The text has changed from black to white while the links seemingly remain blue. Google is still in the A /…
The Fitbit Charge 4 receives its second major update. While the previous one focused on positioning, this one (first spotted by Wareable) relates to health data because several features of Fitbit Sense have been ported. First, the Charge 4 now displays the appropriate readings from its SpO2 sensor on the smart band itself. You can use the new blood oxygen watch face to keep an eye on this. In addition, the bracelet will now track your skin temperature (which only the premium Sense watch can do). Better yet, Fitbit makes the Health Metrics dashboard free for Charge 4, Versa 2,…
Apple Maps is finally getting crowdsourced accident reports. The feature was discovered in the beta version of iOS 14.5 and will allow you to report an accident, danger or speed camera on the road. The same sought-after functionality is available for Google Maps and has been a staple of Waze, but Apple Maps is adding a new element: hands-free reporting. You will be able to use Siri to report something while on the go. For example saying “Hey, Siri, there is a crash coming”. Image source: MacRumors This is just one of the features to be part of iOS 14.5.…
The Microsoft Surface Duo became available in the US on September 10 and by the end of October it was already discounted by $ 200. Microsoft has slashed the price again and the dual-screen Android smartphone now starts at $ 1,000 (with 128GB of storage). You can get double the storage for an extra $ 100 (and no, there’s no microSD slot). If you don’t have the cash up front, you can get an unlocked Duo for $ 33.33 per month paid over 30 months (that’s $ 36.66 / month for the 256GB version). Microsoft will expand the availability of…
The Asus ROG Phone 5 is back at TENAA … sort of. This is the I005DB, while the unit seen in the previous leak was instead the I005DA. Model B has a noticeably different back than Model A, the LED-backlit Republic of Gamers logo is gone, and the other decorative elements are slightly different (check out the side-by-side comparison below). Asus ROG Phone 5: model B (left) and model A (right) • The rear screen showing an incoming call icon A closer look at the rear of the Model A reveals a small Tencent Games logo. In the past two…
According to the latest leak, the Samsung Galaxy A52 4G we have been hearing about for a few months now will have an MSRP of between 9.3 million and 9.5 million VND ($ 405 / € 335 to $ 410 / € 340) in Vietnam. We know the Galaxy A52 4G will be powered by the Snapdragon 720G SoC, run Android 11, and have 8GB of RAM, as it was spotted on Geekbench last December, but the new leak reveals the smartphone will have 128GB of storage. on board and 6.5 “60Hz pack Super AMOLED screen.
