Google’s Pixel 7a continues to make rounds online ahead of its announcement next week and the latest leak is a Geekbench test run. The device was spotted bearing the “lynx” codename and managed a 1,380-point single-core score outing and a 3,071-point multi-core score. The new listing confirms the Pixel 7a is equipped with the Google Tensor G2 chipset alongside 8GB RAM. The phone also boots Android 13 to no one’s surprise. Google Pixel 7a listing on Geekbench Pixel 7a is expected to launch with a 6.1-inch OLED with FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Google is expected to bring...
Last month we heard the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE could come with a 50MP primary camera - an upgrade over the Galaxy S21 FE's 12MP primary camera (Samsung didn't launch S22 FE). That report has now been corroborated by the folks at GalaxyClub, who, citing a "reliable source," said the Galaxy S23 FE would sport a 50MP camera after all. The publication also claims that this 50MP unit could be the same as the one used on the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S23. However, we are yet to learn how many cameras the Galaxy S23 FE will have on its rear panel and if we'll see any changes to the selfie shooter. The...
Motorola's upcoming Razr 40 Ultra has been starring in a lot of leaks and rumors lately, most recently we've seen it in official-looking promo materials last week. Today, we get a leaked spec sheet to gawk at, and the chipset choice might not be to everyone's taste. That's because according to a new report, the folding phone will eschew the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, and go for its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, instead. That's obviously still a great high-end performer, it's just not the latest one - and presumably Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Flip5, due to launch in July and...
Today Apple and Google jointly unveiled that they've teamed up to address the problem of unwanted tracking through dedicated location tracking devices like Apple's AirTag. These have notoriously been used to track individuals without their knowledge, and it apparently got to a point where the companies finally felt the need to intervene in some way. That way is submitting a proposed industry specification which will help combat the misuse of Bluetooth location tracking devices for unwanted tracking. This "first-of-its-kind" specification will allow such devices like the AirTag to be...
Google I/O starts next week on May 10 and on the second day of the event the company will reveal the new Pixel 7a mid-ranger. Well, we say “mid-ranger”, but the phone is really close to the flagship Pixel 7 in terms of specs. Here is the gist of those specs, courtesy of Roland Quandt. Leak: Pixel 7a specs • Retail box contents The Pixel 7a will be the first in the “a” series with a high resolution main camera (64MP), the first with a high refresh rare display (90Hz) and the first with wireless charging (18W). It’s a major upgrade over the 6a from a year ago. And it comes very...
The GIF format is older than many people on the Internet (it was first released in June 1987), but it is as popular as ever as it is the format of choice for sharing animated memes on social media. Except that doesn’t quite work on WhatsApp, which requires the user to tap the image to see the animation. WhatsApp beta 2.23.10.2 for Android will change that slightly – animated GIFs will now play automatically the first time they are viewed. However, as WABetaInfo notes, WhatsApp will only play the animation once, even if the GIF is looped. After that, the familiar “GIF” badge appears and you...
A few years ago Motorola unveiled the Moto G 5G as its cheapest 5G phone, then in 2022 came the sequel, now that phone a new model. Also new today is the latest Moto G Stylus. Both phones have undergone cost cuttings, which has reduced their price but also limited their features. Moto G 5G (2023) The Moto G 5G (2023) features sub-6GHz 5G connectivity, courtesy of a Snapdragon 480+ chipset. If you’re thinking that this isn’t particularly impressive compared against the Snapdragon 750G of the 2020 model or even the Dimensity 700 of the 2022 model, you’d be right. However, this...

Moto Watch 200 Moto Watch 200 brings a 1.78-inch AMOLED display packed in a 45mm aluminum case. The watch is 5ATM waterproof and features a heart rate monitor, SpO2...
Motorola finally has a flagship in the US - the Moto Edge+ packs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and a 165Hz display and it seriously undercuts the likes of the Pixel 7 Pro, Galaxy S23 Ultra, and iPhone 14 Pro Max when it comes to price. The Motorola Edge+ (2023) is seemingly the global Moto Edge 40 Pro with a different name, though Moto brags about the Edge+' massive 5,100mAh battery - a significant improvement over the 4,600mAh of the Edge 40 Pro. However the dimensions of the two phones are identical so this could be a mistake. If true, this gives the Edge+ (2023) the largest battery of any...
Samsung has banned the use of generative AI such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard after employees in one of the company's largest divisions reportedly uploaded internal source code to ChatGPT's servers.

It bans the use of generative AI systems on company-owned phones, computers, or tablets, as well as over the internal network. Samsung also asks employees not to divulge company information with ChatGPT or similar services through their personal devices. As part of its...
