Samsung is collaborating with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) to broadcast the Paris 2024 Games this summer. For the first time, the opening ceremony will take place outside of a stadium, as the athletes will parade on floating platforms on the Seine. Over 200 units of the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be mounted on these boats, streaming the parade over a private 5G network. The broadcast will be done in collaboration with Orange, which is installing more than a dozen 5G antennas along the river. There will also be relay boats acting as...
The vivo Y56 5G launched last February will get a successor on June 20 as vivo has announced it will introduce the vivo Y58 5G in India on Thursday. vivo is yet to detail the Y58 5G's specs sheet, but the teaser we received from the brand revealed the smartphone's design and colors. The vivo Y58 5G has a flat design and sports two cameras on the rear. It's unclear if the power button on the Y58 5G's right-side frame will double as a fingerprint scanner. However, since the Y56 5G featured a side-mounted fingerprint reader, the Y58 5G is likely to also sport one. With the launch...

Honor 200 Lite was the first device to launch in the series and we got to spend some time with it recently following the global launch event in Paris. Our first impression of the device is that it lives up to its name – at just 166 grams, it’s noticeably lighter than the other two members in the 200 series. It’s also slimmer at 6.8mm and features a front-facing LED flash inside the pill-shaped cutout which also houses the 50MP selfie cam. Honor 200 Lite We had access to the Cyan Lake color which shifts its color between blue and green depending on the light and has a matte...
The next generation of Motorola Razr foldables is almost here. Lenovo China set the date for June 25, but that could have been just for the local launch. Now Motorola US posted on X with an official confirmation for the date. The post itself is quite short, just showing a teasing view of two flip foldables – both with faux leather backs, one orange and one purple. By the looks of it, there will be 7 colors, though those might be split between the Motorola Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra, aka Motorola Razr (2024) and Razr+ (2024). Psst! Some flip-worthy news is coming......
The June Pixel Feature Drop is backporting some Pixel 8 camera features to the Pixel 6, 7 and the Pixel Fold (and in one case, the Pixel Tablet too). This comes with Pixel Camera version 9.4. Normally, the camera app automatically decides which lens to use based on zoom level, lighting conditions and more. But now you can go into the Photo Settings and choose a manual lens selection – this lets you pick which camera to use (wide, ultra wide or tele) instead of whatever the phone decides. Note that this is limited to the Pixel 6 Pro, 7 Pro and Pixel Fold (i.e. the vanilla Pixels still only...
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip6 soon, and the phone appeared on Geekbench, revealing the chipset and OS of the new foldable. The listing and the CPU information revealed four clusters of units, which look like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform with one powerful Cortex-X4 core at 3.4 GHz. The phone will ship with Android 14 out of the box. The phone with model number SM-F741B is said to be the variant designated for European and North American markets. It will have 12 GB RAM, a long-awaited improvement; so far, Samsung has launched the Z Flip clamshell foldables with...
A tipster from China shared some early info and renders for the Sony Xperia VII’s cameras. There is plenty of room for doubt regarding the validity of these rumors as the tipster does not have a solid track record of prior leaks but it's still interesting to see what Sony could be up to with its next-generation Xperia. Sony is reportedly looking to break up the vertical camera alignment seen on past Xperia 1 devices and separate the telephoto lens from the main and ultrawide cameras. This move is said to free up enough space inside the device for a 1/2.3-inch telephoto sensor compared to...
Motorola quietly unveiled the Moto E14 – a cheap Android Go edition device that arrives as an upgrade to last year’s Moto E13. It’s a simple device with a modest price of £70. The phone still uses the Unisoc T606 chipset, but with only 2GB of RAM, it is limited to running Android 14 Go Edition. Interestingly, Motorola upgraded the 64GB of built-in storage from eMMC on the E13 to UFS 2.2. That’s faster than some recent entries into this segment. There is a microSD slot, so capacity isn’t an issue. Anyway, there are more upgrades. The display features a 6.56” IPS LCD panel with HD+...
