Samsung has reportedly begun testing the Galaxy S23 FE European firmware. This is a firm prerequisite to launching the phone, but it's worth noting that so far Samsung is allegedly testing only the EU firmware, not the US and South Korean versions. The report continues to say that the Galaxy S23 FE will take a few months to finalize before it can go on sale. It means that the Galaxy S23 FE will likely come out after the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5, which have begun firmware testing months ago. Samsung is expected to unveil the two new foldables in July and start selling them in early...
Motorola is launching its 2023 Razr duo on June 1, and we just saw the Razr 40 Ultra, that will reportedly be called Razr+ in some countries, in a full 44-second video ad. It was posted by Evan Blass on his private Twitter profile, and we will share it with you - enjoy the newest foldable in all its glory: The new smartphone will have a 3.5” cover screen, spanning pretty much from one corner to the other. It will go around the dual cameras and the LED flash in a first of its kind external punch-hole arrangement - these are the biggest holes we’ve seen on a smartphone display. The...
Realme's Indian branch today announced it has roped in Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) as its brand ambassador for the smartphone category.

The five-year-old brand also said that by joining forces with SRK, it is "showcasing its focus on delivering powerful, stylish, and youth-oriented smartphones that resonate with the...
Sony announced a new handheld streaming device that will be able to play your PS5 games over Wi-Fi via Remote Play. The device is called Project Q and features an 8-inch LCD screen with 1080p resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. The screen is attached to a DualSense controller with all the same buttons and features as the PS5 controller apart from the touchpad which will presumably be integrated into the touchscreen. Sony details that you will only be able to stream PS5 games downloaded onto your console so no native gaming or cloud gaming seems to be planned yet but the latter may...

Canon has announced the EOS R100, the company's most affordable entry in the EOS R series. Aside from the more expensive EOS R50, the R100 is now the only other crop sensor camera in the series. The EOS R100 uses the 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 processor borrowed from the EOS M50 Mark II.

The camera also supports uncropped 1080p video up to 30fps and 4K video up to 24fps but with a crop and only contrast-based AF. Being targeted at first time camera buyers or...
iOS 17 is coming later this year alongside new iPhones, and a new report today from the generally very reliable Mark Gurman at Bloomberg sheds some light on what we can expect from Apple's next OS version, aside from performance improvements all-round. Perhaps the most intriguing new feature will be the ability to use your locked iPhone running iOS 17 pretty much like a smart display. It will show calendar appointments, weather information, and notifications in a new style reminiscent of an independent smart display. This view will allegedly only appear when the iPhone is in...
The sales of Samsung's Galaxy S23 family went down significantly this month, according to a new report from a leakster on Twitter. Rumor has it sales for the full second quarter (April to June) of the Korean company's flagship slab-style line will be down 20% compared to what the Galaxy S22 series managed last year. This seems to be down to lower than expected demand from "general consumers". The early adopters all bought their brand new devices by March, and after that apparently not many others wanted in on Samsung's latest and greatest. This is obviously far from ideal, and it allegedly...

There's a special finish around the cameras that catches the light in a carbon fiber-like texture and shimmers between blue and light yellow. It's a pretty...
AMD today announced the Radeon RX 7600 desktop graphics card. This is the third entry in the new RDNA 3 based 7000-series of cards and is the cheapest one yet. The RX 7600 is, in many ways, a third of a card compared to the flagship RX 7900 XTX. It has a third of the compute units and ray accelerators at just 32, a third of the stream processors at 2048, a third of the texture units at 128, the Infinity Cache has been reduced to a third to 32MB, and the video memory has also been reduced to a third to just 8GB GDDR6. The new card has a boost frequency of 2655MHz and an average game...
