Motorola is continuing its rollout of Android 16 to older devices, and today the update has started to arrive on Edge 50 Ultra units. The update is currently going out to Edge 50 Ultra devices bought in Brazil. [#InlinePriceWidget,12919,1#] It arrives over-the-air with firmware version W1UV36H.61-15 as a 1.64GB download. As always with such updates, the rollout is most likely staged, so it might take a few days for it to reach all of the Edge 50 Ultra units in Brazil. After that, it will hopefully spread to more regions. The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra launched last year running...

The tablet's spec sheet reads a 12.1-inch 1600x2560px 120Hz IPS LCD...

Yesterday, Huawei announced its Mate 80 series devices alongside the Mate X7 foldable, and all five devices are equipped with its new Kirin 9030 series chipsets. We say chipsets because there are two versions of the SoC – a vanilla Kirin 9030 found on the Mate 80 and some trims of the Mate 80 Pro, while the Pro version is reserved for the Mate 80 Pro (16/512GB), Mate 80 Pro Max, Mate 80 RS Ultimate and the Mate X7. While Huawei did not share complete specs for its new chips, users on Weibo have already shared screenshots of the new Mate80 models, which detail some of the hardware...

We recently had the pleasure of handling Honor's Magic8 Pro and while in China, we were also given the Magic8 Lite for a quick hands-on. Because this is still an unofficial phone, we can only share a few photos of phone and the contents of its retail package. Like most of its peers, the Honor Magic8 Lite ships with nothing more than a USB cable. It's a USB-A to USB-C cable, just like the one that came with this phone's predecessor. That means the new phone may also support 66W charging. There's a clear visual heritage here as well. The new Lite looks like the old one with a...
