The vivo S20 lineup is expected to arrive later this month. According to a credible leak, the series will bring S20 and S20 Pro, and at least one of the phones will get a massive 6,500 mAh battery. The devices are likely to inherit the ultra-thin body (under 8 mm) from the S19 series, which would be an amazing feature, given the increased cell capacity. The vivo S series is the midrange lineup for the Chinese market, and it eventually goes global as vivo V series with some minor specs changes. This means that while looking at the vivo S20 and S20 Pro, we can see what to expect from...

Google recently announced that Android 16 will be arriving earlier than its predecessor, with the launch scheduled to take place within the second quarter of next year, so between April and June. Today a new rumor claims to give us the exact release date: June 3. That's not just the day on which the code will be released to the Android Open Source Project, but apparently it's also when the over-the-air rollout of the update to Android 16 will start for Google's Pixels, unlike what happened this year when more than a month passed between the AOSP release and the actual OTA updates...

A new report from Japan today claims to reveal the bill of materials (BOM) for both Google's Pixel 9 Pro and Apple's iPhone 16 Pro. The bill of materials is essentially an estimation of how much the parts that make up the smartphones cost - obviously these completely exclude R&D and marketing costs, it's important to keep in mind. If this report is accurate (and that's not a given because this isn't publicly available information), then it looks like Google's Pixel 9 Pro is much cheaper to make (when we look at the parts' costs) than the iPhone 16 Pro. The Pixel's BOM adds up to $406,...
The Redmi Note 14 family made its debut in China in September, and ever since then you may have been wondering when the global launch will take place. Today we have the answer, sort of. What's clear is that the Redmi Note 14 devices are launching in India in December. This comes directly from the company. What's less clear is if that will be the global launch, or only one for the Indian market. We assume the former, but can't be sure just yet. Interestingly, this means India will have gotten two Redmi Note generations this year, as the Redmi Note 13 devices also launched in 2024....

WhatsApp is working on a new feature which is now available in its Android beta channel: reverse image search. Basically, what this does is let you quickly search online for an image you've been sent, thus verifying its authenticity if you need to. It's a very straightforward feature. Once you tap on an image you've received, in the three-dots menu at the top right will be a new entry: Search on web. This will upload the image to Google and the search engine will then present you with identical and similar images, so you can get a better idea of how trustworthy what you've been sent...
Tablets are enjoying somewhat of a resurgence since the beginning of 2024. Per Canalys' numbers, global tablet shipments totaled 37.4 million units in Q3, marking the third consecutive growth quarter in a row. Shipments are 11% year-over-year. That's after 18% year-over-year spike the previous quarter. The boost comes from a few factors that converge simultaneously - Q3 coincides with the back-to-school seasonal demand, retailers have built up stock in anticipation of the holidays, and early discounts. Breaking down the 37.4 million units, Apple sits in front with 13.5 million units...
