TCL will stop selling BlackBerry-branded phones in August

[ad_1] Despite the end of the partnership, current users don’t have to worry about being completely abandoned — TCL will continue to support current models until August 31, 2022. The company — which is partially owned by the Chinese government — will likely continue to make its own smartphones, but it faces competition from other […]

Video leak appears to show Samsung’s foldable Galaxy Z Flip in action

[ad_1] The brief clip doesn’t reveal much of anything about the specs, although it does show two cameras on the outside and a hole-punch camera for selfies. Earlier rumors had the Z Flip using a 6.7-inch, 2,636 x 1,080 screen with more durable extra-thin glass in lieu of plastic. It would run on a slightly […]

Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Buds+ leak together in official-looking shots

[ad_1] Apart from the cameras (including a 108-megapixel shooter on the Ultra), the Galaxy S20 range is expected to be a more evolutionary upgrade with speedier Snapdragon 865 processors in some countries, up to 16GB of RAM and 120Hz displays. The Galaxy Buds+, meanwhile, would have much-improved battery life and call quality without changing the […]

India is now a larger smartphone market than the US

[ad_1] This isn’t to say non-Chinese brands fared poorly, but the results were mixed. Apple grew quickly at the end of 2019 thanks to iPhone XR price cuts and the debut of the iPhone 11. Samsung, however, saw flat results at the same period and ultimately declined five percent in 2019. It’s not shocking that […]

Watch Google’s upcoming AirDrop-style file sharing in action

[ad_1] The good news is that it looks like Nearby Sharing solves a lot of the usability quirks that stopped Android Beam from becoming more popular. To start, Android now completes the initial handshake between two devices through Bluetooth rather than NFC. As a result, you don’t have to put two phones right up next […]

Microsoft gets the ball rolling on Surface Duo apps

[ad_1] People who want to write apps for the Surface Neo and Windows 10X will have to wait a while longer. Microsoft is planning to offer a pre-release version of the relevant Windows developer kit “in the coming weeks” through its usual Insider previews, with a 10X-ready emulator and programming interfaces appearing on February 11th. […]

Project xCloud is coming to Canada

[ad_1] The company previously vowed to bring the preview to India, Japan and western Europe this year. Don’t despair if you’re not a Canuck, then. While a full-fledged launch is likely some ways off, Project xCloud is quickly becoming more than just a small experiment and might soon catch up to Google Stadia’s coverage. [ad_2] […]

Galaxy S20+ leaks show 8K video, 120Hz display

[ad_1] You might get to shoot 4K, stabilized 60FPS video as well. There’s no sign of the 108-megapixel camera on this model, although that’s believed to be reserved for the S20 Ultra. A look at the hardware indicates it’s the first S flagship without a headphone jack, and that it apparently uses an in-display ultrasonic […]

Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra might have more RAM than your PC

[ad_1] The camera setup might be just as ridiculous. Samsung’s vaunted 108-megapixel camera would be the centerpiece, but also just he start. You’d also get a 48MP secondary camera with 10X optical zoom and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide cam. While you probably wouldn’t shoot at full resolution with those first two cameras (their pixels are likely […]
