[ad_1] The Fluid Display touts an “exclusive optimization solution” that reportedly renders frames 7 percent faster, and it boasts a 240Hz touch sampling rate to make it that much more responsive to your finger taps. You can also expect smoother-looking video playback at 60Hz or 120Hz, too, thanks to the same kind of frame insertion […]

Samsung Galaxy S20+ leak appears to confirm its name and cameras
[ad_1] This wouldn’t necessarily be the highest-end model, either. There’s also a rumored S20 Ultra that would include more advanced camera tech (such as Samsung’s 108-megapixel sensor). You could expect a regular S20, a lower-end version (an S20e?) and LTE versions most devices. All of them are expected to have common features like a Snapdragon […]
Samsung will launch its rugged XCover Pro worldwide
[ad_1] The new XCover is ostensibly built for workers, including walkie talkie-like voice chat (for apps like Microsoft Team), the ability to double as a point-of-sale device and two programmable buttons to handle common tasks without touching the screen. However, it might also be viable as a solid mid-range phone for anyone who wants a […]
Verizon will reportedly sell a 5G version of the OnePlus 8
[ad_1] However, Android Police reported that the phone would be “fully Verizonified.” For better and worse, that means it’ll come with the carrier’s suite of apps and experiences preloaded onto the device. If the report is accurate, it’ll be interesting to see how OnePlus tries to reconcile the decision to allow Verizon to install apps […]
LG vows to make its failing mobile unit profitable by the end of 2021
[ad_1] The CEO didn’t elaborate exactly how LG will expand its phone lineup, nor give any details on its proposed “wow factors,” but reiterated the company’s ambition to boost its competitiveness in an already saturated market. LG has faced its fair share of challenges in recent years. At the beginning of 2019 it reported an […]
Samsung’s rugged Galaxy XCover Pro includes a swappable battery
[ad_1] The specs won’t make you rush out to replace a Galaxy S10. Apart from the screen, you’re looking at an unspecified 2GHz octa-core chip, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage and cameras that include a 25-megapixel selfie shooter along with 13MP and 8MP cameras on the back. Finns can buy the XCover Pro […]
New lithium-sulfur battery could let phones last five days between charges
[ad_1] The key was to rework the particle bonds in sulfur cathodes to help them handle higher loads without decreases in capacity, performance or stability. The technique was derived from the bridging architectures you see in processing detergent powders, the university said. The challenge is to get the battery to production. Many researchers have touted […]
LG’s G9 may pack four cameras while keeping the headphone jack
[ad_1] The play-it-safe design would also involve the teardrop camera notch on the screen (though it may be smaller than before) and, crucially, the 3.5mm headphone jack. Samsung’s next Galaxy S may ditch the audio port, making the G9 a more viable option for those who hate dongles and Bluetooth headphones. It’s not certain when […]
Google’s budget Pixel 4a phone may pack a hole-punch camera
[ad_1] The back is where you see the most visible signs of compromise. Although the apparently leaked phone has a square camera hump like the Pixel 4, there’s just one sensor on the back. Sorry, folks, you wouldn’t get telephoto zoom on this device. There may be “more sensors” in the camera module, though, and […]
Oppo’s Reno 3 phones get 5G without sacrificing battery life
[ad_1] You can also expect some cutting-edge display tech. Both Reno 3 phones tout bright 800-nit screens with HDR10+ support and 180Hz touch rates. There’s Dolby Atmos stereo speakers to fill out the sound, too. And battery life might not be a problem — the two handsets have 4,025mAh batteries with 30W rapid charging that […]
