Apple announced its Vision Pro back in June, but its official pre-orders in the US only started last week. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo estimates that Apple sold between 160,000 to 180,000 units of its Vision Pro, which is now sold out and shipping estimates set for 5-7 weeks. While initial demand is strong, Kuo expects it to taper off once the early adopters gets their orders in. Estimated shipping times did not change in the two days following the Vision Pro’s pre-orders going live which is not usually the case for other Apple devices like the iPhone where demand continues to grow with...
We've been testing the Oppo Find X7 Ultra at the office and have now completed its battery life test. We're not done with the review but we thought we'd share the endurance numbers while we're working on the rest of the tests. The Oppo Find X7 Ultra has the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which is built on a supposedly more efficient 4nm node than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and the chip is mated to a sizeable 5,000mAh battery. It would've been even better if the battery was a 5,400mAh unit as on the OnePlus 12, but the Find X7 Ultra is hefty enough (221g), so perhaps the selected capacity is a...
With all the excitement following the Galaxy S24 seris launch, it’s time to check out some early benchmark tests. YouTuber NL Tech posted a detailed video of all three Galaxy S24 series phones going head to head in the most popular benchmarking apps - Geekbench 6, AnTuTu and 3DMark. The S24 and S24+ models are equipped with the Exynos 2400 chip while the S24 Ultra is rocking a slightly overclocked “for Galaxy” version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It’s important to note that all three phones are running pre-release firmware, so their scores will likely differ from the consumer-ready...
There will be no prizes for guessing which was the most popular phone in our database this week. After topping the trending chart since the start of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra opened up a huge gap at the top now that it's finally official and available for pre-order. Compared to its closest followers it has twice and three times the interest, respectively. [#InlinePriceWidget, 12771, 1#] The vanilla Galaxy S24 took second, while the S24+, despite making more sense than many of its predecessors had to settle for seventh. The Redmi Note 13 Pro takes the last podium spot,...
The Realme Note 50 is on its way, and it will not be alone. The company has big plans for the series with three phones coming by the end of the year and a sales goal of 10 million units. Francis Wong, CEO of Realme Europe and Global Marketing Director revealed the ambitious plans and shed some more light on the availability of the company's new series. The first Realme Note smartphone will be launched in the Philippines on January 23, and there will be two more joining it in the next couple of months. Realme's Note lineup will be plugging the sub-$100/€100 hole in the company's...
We can officially call the past seven days 'Galaxy week'. Samsung dominated the headlines with the Galaxy S24 series announcement, despite rumors and leaks spoiling most of the surprises. Naturally, the Galaxy S24 Ultra outshone the Galaxy S24 and S24+ thanks to its new 5x camera, Titanium frame and new Corning glass, and, well, the fact that it's Samsung's biggest flagship of the year. AI was front and center at the announcement - the new Galaxies enable a myriad of AI-powered features. Circle to Search is a gesture-driven feature made in collaboration with Google - you long-press on...
Xiaomi commenced its Redmi Note 13 series global rollout last week and also announced a pair of Note 13 4G models. Redmi Note 13 4G is the most affordable entry in the series and is the latest device to make its way to the office. Based on the spec sheet, the chipset is the only difference between the Note 13 4G and its 5G counterpart but let’s see what else we've got here. Our Note 13 4G review unit comes in the Midnight Black color which features a mirror-like glossy finish on the back. It looked clean right out of the box but it was quickly smudged by fingerprints as we were...
This week’s Unpacked event brought Samsung’s latest flagships – the Galaxy S24 trio. You can check out our hands-on review for an introduction to the new features and hardware upgrades. And if you’re curious what all those AI features are all about, watch these videos. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a rethink on how the long telephoto lens should work – instead of a fixed 10x lens, Samsung went for 5x magnification and a high resolution 50MP sensor that offers high quality zoom between 5x and 10x. And more, it enables 8K video recording and 4K @ 120fps from the tele camera. ...
Samsun's Galaxy S24 series is here and it marks the most imporant announcement of the year so far. Samsung purposefully pushed the series' announcement two weeks earlier than the S23's and they'll ship nearly a month earlier than their predecessors. That gives Samsung plenty of time to establish some market dominance and give Apple's iPhone 15 series a proper fight. The Galaxy S series has become somewhat of a tame affair in these last few years but that's the norm when you have a mature market. Still, there are some noteworthy aspects of the Galaxy S24 series - this is our hot...
