[ad_1] PhoneBuff, meanwhile, conducted a drop test showing that the S20 Ultra’s front and rear glass survived multiple falls with less damage than an iPhone 11 Pro Max, although Apple’s hardware fared better with side impacts (owing to the use of stainless steel versus the S20 Ultra’s aluminum) and maintaining functionality under heavy abuse.

Pixel 4a photo leaks hint at a no-frills budget phone
[ad_1] The snapshots don’t reveal too much more about what’s inside the phone, although a capture of the available storage hints that you might still have to be content with 64GB of non-expandable storage. It’s expected to carry a 5.7- or 5.8-inch screen and use a mid-tier Snapdragon processor (likely from the 600 or 700 […]
Huawei reportedly expects steep drop in 2020 phone sales due to US ban
[ad_1] The effect was arguably delayed by the typical annual phone cycle. Huawei is allowed to continue offering the P30 Pro and other phones that shipped before the US ban, but those devices are gradually being replaced — the P40 Pro will be announced on March 26th. That could make Huawei’s phones a much tougher […]
Motorola’s first high-end phone in years may have a ‘bezel-free’ display
[ad_1] The rumored specs (supported by earlier claims from XDA‘s Mishaal Rahman) would also make it competitive with other top-tier phones, including a Snapdragon 865, 8GB or 12GB of RAM depending on the configuration and a hefty 5,000mAh or larger (!) battery. There are also three cameras on the back that include at least one […]
Oppo’s Find X2 Pro is a huge, high-spec phone to rival the Galaxy S20 Ultra
[ad_1] The first thing you’ll notice about the Find X2 Pro is that it has a somewhat plain appearance compared to the legendary Find X. There are no hidden pop-up cameras; instead you’ll find three of them lined up on the back. There’s also a punch-hole camera at the top left corner of the curved […]
Apple reportedly warns stores of iPhone replacement shortages
[ad_1] We’ve asked Apple for comment. The company’s factory partners only briefly stopped manufacturing to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, but there has already been evidence of strain on Apple’s inventory across multiple fronts. iPhone 11 volumes have reportedly shrunk slightly worldwide, while the iPad Pro has also suffered shortages. Limited stock for replacement iPhones […]
Galaxy S20 Ultra teardown shows what’s inside that giant camera bump
[ad_1] The disassembly also shows just how little space there is for the actual chipsets once you rule out the cameras and the giant 5,000mAh battery. The spider-like circuit boards are stuffed to the gills with components, including the Snapdragon 865 processor and X55 5G modem. That might partly explain why there’s no headphone jack, […]
Latest Pixel ‘feature drop’ lets you pause music with a touch-free gesture
[ad_1] It should also be easier to handle your purchases and passes. You can press and hold the power button to swipe through the payment cards, passes and tickets you’ve stored in Google Pay. Pixel 4 users can bring up their emergency info as well. Meanwhile, Pixel 3, 3a and 4 owners in 11 countries […]
Nearly every top-selling smartphone in 2019 was an iPhone or Galaxy
[ad_1] Just where these phones dominated is another matter. It won’t surprise you to hear that Apple ruled North America, taking all of the top five slots, and took two of the top spots in Europe. In most other places, though, it’s a Samsung planet. Samsung had the most top-five phones in Europe, Latin America, […]
LG Display halts work at phone screen factory after coronavirus infection
[ad_1] While there are undoubtedly concerns this could hurt availability of LG’s own phones, it might not be the only company hit by the shutdown. LG Display makes screens for a range of companies, including some of Apple’s iPhones. A closure of just a few days could lead to shortages if there isn’t enough supply […]
