  • Honor X30 mobiles made their debut with a huge display

    Honor X30 mobiles made their debut with a huge display

    Honor has finally unveiled the X30 series, consisting of the X30i and X30 Max. The novelties are aimed at fans of large displays.

    Honor X30i

    Although this is the smaller of the two innovations, the smartphone with its 6.7-inch LCD will still be large enough to meet your multimedia needs. Full HD + resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate will make a big difference. Under the mobile cover, the Dimensity 810 chipset performs the calculations, which the manufacturer develops with 6 or 8 GB of RAM, depending on which package is chosen. The internal storage can be 128 or 256 GB in the same way.

    If you want to take photos, you can use the 48-megapixel primary module on the back, complementing a 2-megapixel macro unit and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The front panel camera sits in a cutout centered below the top frame and has a resolution of 8 megapixels.

    The mobility of the Honor X30i is guaranteed by a 4000 mAh battery that supports 22.5 watts of fast charging. Overall, the device weighs 175 grams and is 7.45 mm thick. Available in shades of blue, black, silver, and pink, the 6/128GB version will cost $ 218 in local currency, but the most expensive package, which offers 256GB of storage along with 8GB of RAM, won’t cost more than $ 296. Pre-ordering has already begun, and distribution will start on November 11 in China. There has been no talk of international sales yet.

    Honor X30 Max

    Fans of smartphones with giant screens probably expected this model better, and they didn’t have to be disappointed, as the front panel is covered by a 7.09-inch Full HD + display. A dual speaker completes the visual experience. The power supply task has been entrusted to a battery with a capacity of 5,000 mAh, thanks to which the device will be the embodiment of portable content consumption.

    The soul of the smartphone is the MediaTek Dimensity 900, which comes with 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage during assembly. It will not only be possible to consume content but even create it with this mobile phone, which has a 64-megapixel primary camera on the back. The secondary module has a resolution of 2 megapixels, which is a depth sensor. The front camera captures 8-megapixel photos.

    The Honor X30 Max comes in a purple gradient with a black and blue exterior. The cheapest 8/128GB variant will be available for $375, while the version with 256GB of internal storage will cost $422. The pre-order for the smartphone has already been opened, with distribution also starting on November 11. There has been no talk of a global release so far, but given Honor’s European ambitions, we wouldn’t be surprised if there was such an announcement over time.

  • Chinese students have sued Apple for failing to include a charger with the iPhone 12.

    Chinese students have sued Apple for failing to include a charger with the iPhone 12.

    Last year, Apple removed the wired EarPods from the iPhone’s package and did not provide a charger. According to Vice, five Chinese students have launched a lawsuit against Apple for selling newer iPhones without a charger.

    [ads1]

    Last year, Apple removed the charger and wired headset, known as EarPods, from the phone box. The decision was based on the fact that many iPhone owners own two or three of these accessories, which is equally bad for the environment.

    On the other hand, Chinese students believe that Apple’s choice has nothing to do with environmental protection. They claim that the firm is trying to save money, which may be accurate given that the manufacture of 5G iPhones is more excellent.

    The students also allege in their proposal – which was prepared as part of a legal competition – that Apple is diverting customers to newer MagSafe products by leaving the chargers behind. The business claims that it pushes customers to pay even more than the phone’s already high price.

    According to Vice, the plaintiffs are seeking only $16, or 5,000 yuan, for the costs of the litigation as well as a wall charger for one of their gadgets. This is a 12 Pro Max iPhone.

    According to the outlet, a Brazilian regulator penalized Apple $2 million in a similar case.

  • Demonstration video shows Samsung’s new Android 12 interface, One UI 4

    Demonstration video shows Samsung’s new Android 12 interface, One UI 4

    They recently held Samsung’s developer conference, SDC 2021, at which many software innovations were unveiled, including the company’s new mobile interface, One UI 4, which is already in beta testing. If you’re interested in what the software for Galaxy phones will look like after the Android 12 update, then we have two great demonstration videos about it.

    Simultaneously with the developer conference, Samsung released a two-part video series showcasing the interface and innovations of the One UI 4. On the one hand, the design has been redesigned to suit Android 12, and here, too, the colors in the entire menu system and the factory applications change according to the set wallpaper:

    There is also talk of a renewed camera interface and privacy, and we are constantly alerted, for example, if our phone’s camera or microphone is in use so that we can listen to spying apps. These were just a few examples. Of course, there are a lot of innovations in One UI 4 that can be seen in the two videos below, and there’s also a bit of talk about the new Windows interface called One UI Book 4.

    https://youtu.be/rTW7ec7UNJA

    Here is the second part:

    https://youtu.be/NQQcdcCqI_E

    Finally, here’s a shorter commercial that is also about One UI 4.

    https://youtu.be/3ogMFp3ZEJ8

    Samsung will likely launch One UI 4 updates for Android 12 later this year for newer top models, certainly starting with the S21 series and nicely in line with other more recent flagships and other models. However, it’s worth noting that the update time varies by region, so you may have to wait a little longer for us to begin the process. 

    How do you like Samsung’s new interface? Are you waiting for the update?

  • Google has joined LG with the promotion of the new Pixel 6

    Google has joined LG with the promotion of the new Pixel 6

    There’s still nothing weird or unique about Google publishing a brand new Pixel 6 ad on YouTube. After all, the flagship has just arrived, print marketing. But to the detriment of another retired manufacturer?

    The new video tries to convince existing LG users to switch to the Pixel model instead. The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are undeniably exciting devices, with a custom-developed processor and a bunch more. Of course, no matter how good a product is, if people don’t know about it or find it desirable, a comprehensive advertising campaign is also needed to succeed.

    The video just released is part of that and lists a total of 113 reasons why people should switch to Pixel right now, “when the manufacturer of your old cell phone stops making phones.” The mentioned part can be seen at the very end of the video, from 8:30:

    https://youtu.be/STZU8_p8-FU

    There is an apparent visual and verbal reference to LG, which has recently exited the phone market, obviously not to its delight. The mobile division has been struggling for years. At first, it may not be clear why Google promotes its own devices at the expense of another quasi-non-existent mobile manufacturer. Still, we’ll soon realize what’s behind it on closer inspection.

    LG was quite popular in the Americas but failed to make it into the top 5 manufacturers in Asia or Europe. From this, it can be concluded that Google may want to fill the vacancy of LG in the US and Canada and persuade customers to switch with some hint.

    However, the video is advertised to the detriment of LG, and the new Google Pixel 6 models stand their ground without such a thing. They talk about the ccamera’scapabilities, uptime, and extra features like car accident detection and the like.

  • The Samsung Galaxy S22 will be like an iPhone 13 but without a notch

    The Samsung Galaxy S22 will be like an iPhone 13 but without a notch

    Although the premiere of the Samsung Galaxy S22 series is even further away, it can’t be said that we would fly completely blindly to the next generation of the South Korean manufacturer’s flagships. We’ve seen them in rendered images, we’ve heard this and that about the hardware that serves them, and now the widespread leak,  Ice Universe, has delivered some fresh curiosity about the mobiles, more specifically the Galaxy S22 and S22 +.

    According to a recently published division, the two smaller Samsung Galaxy S22 models will have a completely flat front and back. The display will be surrounded by an asymmetrical bezel, meaning the frame will not be thicker at the bottom than elsewhere. The design can be very similar to the iPhone 13, and only it won’t be a big sensor island. Just a tiny camera hole will hang into the screen.

    In addition to the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22 + design, Ice Universe also shared some details about the Galaxy S22 Ultra camera. He writes about a 108-megapixel primary camera with an enhanced 1/33-inch ISOCELL HM3 sensor, 0.8-micrometer pixels, and f / 1.8 aperture, but also talks about ultra-wide and telephoto modules.

    Compared to the current model, only minor changes can be expected, with the primary image capture undergoing minimal crease stitching and the same 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle module remaining next to the 10-megapixel 3x telephoto unit and also the 10-megapixel periscope unit.

  • The Sony Xperia Pro-I has got a brutal camera

    The Sony Xperia Pro-I has got a brutal camera

    As we predicted yesterday, today arrived Sony’s new, top-of-the-line mobile phone, primarily designed for photography and video professionals. The Xperia Pro-I got a huge 1-inch camera sensor with variable aperture, but that’s not just because it’s interesting.

    Let’s start by saying that the letter I in the name of the Sony Xperia Pro-I refers to the word “Imaging,” which is completely confusing with the numbering I, II, and III of the Xperia 1, 5, and 10 phones, which denote generations (Mark 1, 2, 3). But since there aren’t dozens of Sony phones a year, there might not be any confusion.

    Most of the features are the same as the current Sony flagship, the Xperia 1 III, the Xperia Pro-I is built on this phone, which means that we get a 6.5-inch, 4K resolution OLED panel with 120 Hz image refresh, from the drive to Snapdragon The 888 provides 12 GB of RAM, and the storage is 512 GB and expandable. The battery has a capacity of 4500 mAh and supports 30W fast charging. And now come the fundamental differences!

    The 1-inch primary sensor on the back has been taken over by Sony straight from the RX100 VII compact camera, of course, optimized for mobile use. The resolution is 12 MP, and the actual physical pixel size is 2.4µm, which other telephone sensors can only achieve by pixel merging. Anyway, the Xperia Pro-I doesn’t take advantage of the sensor as a whole, but it still has a 20% more helpful interface than the iPhone 13 Pro Max and is pretty much the same as what the Galaxy S21 Ultra has to offer. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, on the other hand, works with 2.8µm pixels at a similar resolution but achieves this with a nine fusion.

    Well, let’s not get lost in the numbers, it’s not just the image quality that depends on them anyway, and Sony has one more trick in its bag. The aperture of the 24 mm lens with OIS in front of the primary sensor can vary between f / 2.0 and f / 4.0, which means that the depth of field can be adjusted dynamically.

    There are also two other 12 MP cameras on the back, one is a 16mm, f / 2.2 ultra-wide-angle, and the other is a 50mm, f / 2.4 2x telephoto unit. Unfortunately, the Xperia 1 III and Xperia 5 III periscope 5X zoom cameras did not get the Xperia Pro-I.

    However, there are physical camera buttons, one is a two-position firing button with a knurled surface, and the other is a dedicated button for Videography Pro. By the way, the mobile can record videos in 4Kat up to 120 fps, and there’s a special Vlog Monitor add-on to it, which means a 3.5-inch, 1280 × 720-pixel extra display on the back.

  • The new processor for Google Pixel 6 mobiles has been tested

    The new processor for Google Pixel 6 mobiles has been tested

    As you know, inside the recently debuted Google Pixel 6 smartphones, the search giant’s proprietary chipset, Tensor, does the calculations. The processor has been shrouded in obscurity for a very long time, but now, based on early benchmark results, we can pretty much place it on the ranks of high-end mobile chips. Tests show the chip’s performance is somewhere below the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and Samsung Exynos 2100, but not by much.

    Google Tensor is not an ordinary tile. The chip is made with Samsung’s 5-nanometer manufacturing process, while the CPU has been given a rather unusual configuration. In addition to the two powerful Cortex-X1 cores, two 2018 Cortex-A76 and four Cortex-A55 cores will serve. By comparison, the Snapdragon 888 and the Exynos 2100 only got one X1 core, but it comes with three Cortex-A78 units instead of the A76s. The production technology and strip width are the same.

    In light of the above, the early Geébench results aren’t a big surprise, although it’s worth mentioning that the high-performance X1 cores are now rattling at just 2.8 GHz, although we’ve seen that even at 3.0 GHz are able.

    The Google Tensor produces lower multi-core performance than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100 chips, but the single-core score is roughly the same.

    For fairness, it should also be mentioned that the graphical benchmarks look promising. The Mali-G78 MP20 GPU, which works in Google Tensor, lacks raw power and can visibly push down most smartphones running Android operating systems in 3DMark Wildlife Extreme (1800-2000 accurate results so far).

    In addition to the graphics, Tensor also benefits from having its hardware for machine learning tasks that runs Google’s image processing and other algorithms. Thus, the hardware can substantially assist the cameras in capturing videos and photos and enabling special effects such as effects that correct blurred faces or eliminate unnecessary people, which we have already written about. The findings in our article are only preliminary results. The actual capabilities of Tensor will only come to light when Google Pixel 6 mobiles become available in more significant numbers.

  • You may now place an order for the best Linux phone.

    You may now place an order for the best Linux phone.

    According to the manufacturer, the successor to the specialized smartphone, PinePhone Pro, which launched at the end of 2019, can be pre-ordered and has appropriately been tweaked.

    The PinePhone Pro, not a second-generation PinePhone, but a higher-end PinePhone, is the successor to the Linux smartphone (PinePhone) that debuted two years ago manufacturer, Pine64. It is a quick and premium phone with serious performance. It was strengthened as a result of improvements.

    The Rockchip RK2299S chip is used in the PinePhone Pro Knowledge Center. This 1.5 GHz chip is a tweaked version of the PineBook Pro’s chipset. There’s also 4GB of RAM and 128GB of native memory, and actual hardware privacy switches. The back camera has a resolution of 13 megapixels. Improved performance allows for faster surfing, HD movie viewing, and even simple image editing.

    The PinePhone Pro is slightly larger (160.8 x 76.6 x 11.1 mm) than the original PinePhone (160.5 mm x 76.6 mm x 9.2 mm). However, it is backward compatible with PinePhone case additions, such as the future physical keyboard. The device will set you back $400.

    Of course, this version is primarily geared at operating system engineers and others who brazenly intervene in hardware rather than end-users. The latter will have to wait longer for PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition if they want PinePhone Pro. Pre-orders for this product will be available soon.

  • Official release date of the Redmi Note 11 Series

    Official release date of the Redmi Note 11 Series

    The brand has posted the date, which will be October 28th, through its Weibo account in the usual way, and in addition to announcing the premiere, some posters have also been shared on the community site.

    The posted images show that the devices’ screens will have a centered camera hole, and a triple camera image capture unit can serve on the back. You can see volume keys on the right frame, and headphone output, an infrared port, and a JBL-tuned speaker at the top.

    Based on the announcement, more devices can be expected next Thursday. According to previous information, we can prepare for the arrival of at least two smartphones, one will be the Redmi Note 11, and the other will be its Pro variant.

    The latter is said to debut with a Dimensity 920 processor, a 120 Hz OLED screen, and a 5000 mAh battery. The battery is said to receive 67 or 120-watt fast charge support. In the case of the basic model, we can expect a 33-watt charge and also a capacity of 5,000 mAh.

    The 120Hz image refresh will remain on the cheaper version, but an IPS LCD panel will be installed this time, and a MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset is said to be responsible for the drive. DEPENDING ON THE PACKAGE YOU CHOOSE, the RAM will be 6 or 8 GB, while the storage capacity will be 128 GB in each case. The Pro version will also be available with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. So the unveiling will take place on October 28th, and in the meantime, we’re sure to hear about the devices from both official and unofficial sources.

  • This is how the Redmi K50 looks

    This is how the Redmi K50 looks

    It’s unclear when the Redmi K50 versions will be released – assuming there will be more than one, reports regarding the devices have been circulating for quite some time. A few leaked renders now amplify these.

    A-frame around a thin display and a circular set of cameras encircling the cameras in a triangular shape can be predicted, as seen above. Because of MyDrivers, the renderers have become public domain, and their legitimacy is currently under question.

    In any case, they’re worth taking a look at. While the face of a display that almost entirely occupies the front panel is intimidating, it’s virtually apparent that the cameras were emphasized when the Redmi K50 was designed, as long as it seems that way.

    Three image capturing units are arranged in a circular pattern with an LED flash. The camera module appears to be pretty sturdy at first glance.

    The Redmi K50 is expected to come with a 120Hz AMOLED screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 CPU, 67-watt rapid charge support battery, and a 48-megapixel primary camera, according to earlier speculations. A Pro and a Pro + release, in addition to the standard model, are available, with better cameras and more critical iron under the hood.

    According to Digital Chat Station, the MIUI operating system for mobile phones will include various distinct and unique features exclusive to these devices. They did not detail the precise advancements that could be expected, but he did say that they would mostly be visual.

  • OnePlus Nord CE 5G Review

    OnePlus Nord CE 5G Review

    The OnePlus Nord series in the mid-range also shows what a “Never Settle” mobile is like. The OnePlus Nord CE 5G doesn’t bring the stars down from the sky, but it gives you a little more than you expected. True to its name, ACE, or “Core Edition,” focuses on the basics, specifically performance, display, and uptime.

    Introduction & Accessories

    OnePlus built a severe fan base around itself in a short time, which was no accident. Their phones have brought the quality of high-end, big-name manufacturers. And in terms of performance, thanks to a software interface that has been perfected to the extreme, they have provided more than that, at a significantly better price. But to be among the best, there was always something missing. However, the OnePlus eight series, or the 9 Pro, is already growing in competition in all areas, unfortunately also in pricing.

    In 2020, OnePlus entered the hitherto neglected middle class with five members’ currently well-priced Nord family. So far, OnePlus’ philosophy, Never Settle, that is, never be satisfied, has fit the portfolio perfectly. Our current test subject, the Nord CE 5G, introduced in the summer of 2021, claims the manufacturer offers precisely the features that users need. Let’s look at it.

    There is no shortage of accessories in the nice big black phone box. In addition to the excess paper and sticker pile, we also get a 30-watt Warp Charge charging head, a Type-C cable, a SIM needle, and a silicone case, as well as a pre-loaded screen protector.

    External display

    After the first hand, I caught the feeling – small, light, and damn good to feel – I need it. Sure, all polycarbonates are here to cut costs, but does anyone care? The telcos jump into the case, the front panel and foil are protected. Premium material use is forgetful, but we have quality assembly and good structural rigidity.

    With dimensions of 159.2 x 73.5 x 7.9 millimeters, a weight of 170 grams, and a user interface design, our featherweight racer can be used particularly well with one hand, which is a rarity these days. The budget is understandable, but it’s still annoying that the brand’s trademark “Alert Slider,” which allows you to switch between general quickly, vibration, and silent profiles, didn’t get the phone.

    There is space for two nano sims in the SIM tray above the volume controls on the left. SD card expandability is not an option.

    There is nothing on the right other than the power button. The situation at the top edge is not too complicated either, as only the secondary microphone used for noise reduction lives there. At the bottom, our 3.5mm Jack friend, microphone port, USB Type-C port, and speaker delight us. Stereo speakers in this price range are already the default for competitors, but OnePlus officials don’t seem to know that. It’s a waste.

    The most exciting thing about the conservative back cover is the minimal protrusion of the camera module, which makes the phone rock a bit while lying on the table. Still, using the included case, the problems can be overcome entirely.

    The 6.43-inch Fluid AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2400 × 1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 20: 9, and a pixel density of 410 PPI cannot be connected. The colors, viewing angles, contrast, and visibility in solid sunlight are also excellent. In addition to these, full sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage are also provided at a 90Hz image refresh rate. There’s also no Widevine Level 1 rating so that we can watch streaming content in Full HD from Netflix and Amazon Prime.

    The fingerprint sensor with a 10/10 hit ratio built under the display has to be used, and like the nine series, it is now lower than it should be. Face-based unlocking is perfect, it recognizes even in glasses, and the device unlocks quickly. The “disfigured” display with the hole-punch camera cutout did not receive a notification LED, but this is perfectly compensated by the scheduling and well-configurable Always Active Display (AOD).

    Hardware, software

    OnePlus Nord CE 5G is housed in a cost-effective gamer chipset. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G is manufactured on an 8-nanometer stripe width. The eight-core processor features two power-sharpened Cortex-A77 units at 2.2 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores scalable up to 1.8 GHz, ensuring adequate energy efficiency.

    The role of IGP is played by Adreno 619, which supports all essential APIs, and even Snapdragon Elite Gaming player enhancements are provided. Eight gigabytes of LPDDR4X RAM system memory and 128 gigabytes of UFS 2.1 internal storage can also be a source of satisfaction.

    Nord CE performs well in synthetic benchmarks and actual use in everyday life. With medium graphics settings, resource-intensive games run nicely and smoothly. Warming doesn’t characterize this SoC at all, and multitasking is also excellent – you don’t even need more than that.

    OnePlus owes much of its huge fan base to its excellent software. The Nord CE 5G is not disappointing in this area either, as the Android 11-based OxygenOS is also a parade. There are no ads, unnecessary apps, or just an opaque interface, and it’s no coincidence that many consider OxygenOS the best Android interface.

    The manufacturer promises two Android version updates (Android 12-13) and a three-year security update for Nord phones. After 2022, Oppo’s ColorOS and OxygenOS, which belong to the same parent company, will intertwine. According to OnePlus, “so we can combine the fast and seamless, load-free experience of OxygenOS with the stability and rich features of ColorOS” – that doesn’t sound bad.

    Cameras, multimedia

    You will find a triple camera layout on the back of the Nord CE 5G. The primary camera has a 64 MP resolution, f / 1.79 aperture, 0.8μm pixel size, and electronic image stabilization (EIS). It combines four adjacent pixels to take 16 MP photos by default. Videos can be recorded in up to 4K at 30 frames per second.

    The 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera has an aperture of f / 2.25 and a viewing angle of 119 °. Even a monochrome sensor doesn’t bother much with its 2 megapixels. On the front is a 16-megapixel Sony IMX471 camera for selfies.

    The following test images were taken with the factory camera application automatically.

    In daylight, pictures taken with the primary camera are lovely. Although there is no specific reference to it by the manufacturer, it was possible to speculate about the impact of the Hasselblad collaboration (optimization) that began with the 9 Series. As for color dynamics, the OnePlus is now moving in the natural direction. There’s no excessive contrast, the colors aren’t as flashy as its competitors, so they’re a little more realistic.

    When shooting in poorer artificial light or very cloudy weather, detail and dynamic range are rapidly reduced, and color management also leaves something to be desired. You may want to turn on Night mode, although it will take slower pictures. Overall, this image quality is okay in this price range.

    64-megapixel image capture has no benefit except for perhaps finer detail. Contrast, sharpness, and dynamics are also reduced slightly, while file sizes are doubled.

    Without a dedicated zoom camera, we get minor detail than if the images were taken with actual 2x optics. However, the quality is not bad, and the colors and dynamic range are also good.

    Images taken with an ultra-wide-angle camera are acceptable, but they cannot keep up with the primary camera’s image quality. The colors are a little stronger, but the detail is much lower. The photos are also blurry and noisy at the edges.

    Portrait mode works with software with good edge detection, nicely separating the person you want to photograph – in our case, the teddy bear – from the background.

    The images are shown in full size here.

    The OnePlus Nord CE 5G speaker delivers the sound of classic smartphones, meaning the bass is lagging, and the midrange and treble are overemphasized. The presence of a 3.5mm jack output is a huge positive.

    Data Communication, Operating time, and Conclusion

    In terms of data communication, the overall picture is perfect. Nord CE 5G supports all domestic LTE and 5G bands. Thanks to the dual noise-canceling microphone, the sound quality of the conversation is excellent. Both parties can understand it well, even in noisy environments.

    Dual-channel Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, and NFC are also available for wireless connectivity. We will not be disappointed with the use of GPS either, and Google Maps has excellent navigation on the 100-kilometer test road. In the sensory field, only the infrared and the barometer are missing.

    It’s almost unbelievable that the 7.9mm-thick housing fits a 4,500 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery. The runtime is a parade thanks to the display technology, the Snapdragon 750G and OxygenOS. During the test period, immersion to 19% required nearly two days and an active display time of more than 7 hours. In the standard YouTube video viewer test, the load was reduced by 9% in 2 hours. In the Work 3.0 battery life test, the mobile produced a result of 15 hours 26 minutes. With the 30 Watt charging head, it is possible to charge the mobile from 19 to 100% in 46 minutes. Wireless charging is not an option.

    The OnePlus Nord Core Edition 5G point gives what its name suggests, the most important essential things an excellent mid-range phone needs in 2021. Due to the size of this NFC and 5G capable phone, it fits perfectly in our hands. The 90Hz AMOLED panel has significant content consumption. In terms of performance, but even more so in the Android user experience, we get a little more than expected. There can be no complaint about the operating time either. The 64-megapixel primary camera also brings plenty to the level expected in this category.

    The overall picture is nuanced by the mono speaker, the lack of SD card storage expansion, and the omission of the brand’s trademark mute switch. That’s not too much of a mistake, but there’s a lot of competition in this $ 3-400 price range. Xiaomi and its sub-brands like Poco and Redmi, in-house Realme, also offer a pretty good alternative.

    The  OnePlus Nord CE 5G is currently costing $309 in action. The final price, increased by the insurance and the duty-free and VAT-free EU Priority Line delivery fee, will be $321.

  • A smartphone with a round display is under construction, here is the Cyrcle 2.0

    A smartphone with a round display is under construction, here is the Cyrcle 2.0

    Nowadays, when it comes to form-breaking phones, most are likely to think of bendable devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Still, some manufacturers are already questioning the square design and trying out circular phones. After Runcible and the original Cyrcle Phone, Cyrcle 2.0 was unveiled to the general public, which is a rather exciting attempt, a question of whether there will be enough applicants to make it happen.

    Despite its name, the Cyrcle 2.0 is not circular, and only its display is that the device itself is oval, with dimensions of precisely 130 x 103 x 22 mm. This makes it wider and thicker than most smartphones today but lowers in return. We have no idea how comfortable it is to use, but the display is relatively small at just 3.45 inches and has a resolution of 800 × 800 pixels. This immediately raises the next question, to what extent will the apps be usable on the circle display?

    The phone runs Android 10 anyway. Although the base interface has been adapted to the display, most applications have been given a rectangular interface, so the collection may not be optimal (the corners will be cut off, or the entire show will not be used).

    But there are some exciting positives, too, with the Cyrcle 2.0 getting two 3.5mm jacks, for example, which is two more than most phones today. There are also two USB ports, a micro USB and a Type-C, and a dual SIM slot and 4G support.

    In terms of hardware, let’s not expect too much, the exact type of processor is unknown, but 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage are pretty small these days. Of course, the mobile is not designed for hardcore users, but for those who would use it mainly for essential functions but want something special.

    However, what will discourage most visitors from buying is the price of Cyrcle 2.0. During the introductory campaign, they will be asked for 699 dollars. The project will only be implemented if it has enough support. If you want to participate in it, you can find the details at this link.

  • Apple was shown that the USB-C port could be used with iPhones

    Apple was shown that the USB-C port could be used with iPhones

    Although the EU has been pressing to use standard connectors for some time, Apple is still unwilling to move to the widely used USB-C port for its phones.

    However, a creative filmmaker came up with a solution and demonstrated to the company that an iPhone could work with USB-C as well. Since the iPhone 4, Apple has used the Lightning connector on its phones. While many people are happy that iPads and Macbooks have transitioned to USB-C, iPhones have been hesitant to do so.

    Therefore there are various sorts of cables in the ecosystem. Users have a requirement. The EU recently approved legislation mandating single connectors, but since manufacturers have had ample time to make a move, Apple won’t have to worry for long.

    There’s a significant probability that there will be portless phones by the time I force Apple to replace the Lightning. Thus we may never see a USB-Cs iPhone officially, even though the option is there. This was recently demonstrated by a cameraman named Kenny Pi, who changed the connector on an iPhone X with some soldering, 3D printing, and screwing and a lot of talent and who knows what techniques.

    Here’s the first iPhone USB-C port:

    So far, only a short, entertaining film of the procedure and the result has been produced; however, a more extended version will be made in which the process will be shown in greater detail.

    However, it turns out that the USB-C connector may be used for both charging and data transfer, which may not seem like a significant concern at first, but it wasn’t easy to solve.
