Xiaomi announced its latest e-reader in China. The Moaan InkPalm Mini Plus 2 brings a 5.84-inch e-ink display, runs Android 14, and features up to 512GB storage. That's quite impressive given that competitors like Amazon Kindle series usually top out at 32GB. There’s a point to be made that you’ll never need that much storage on an e-reader, but it’s still great to see Xiaomi giving users this option. Moaan InkPalm Mini Plus 2 InkPalm Mini Plus 2 is more in line with a smartphone in terms of dimensions, measuring in at 158.9 x 78.6 x 6.9mm. That’s noticeably narrower than a Kindle...
ARM unveiled its next-generation CPU and GPU designs today and it is also introducing the Lumex compute subsystem (CSS). Previously, the likes of MediaTek and Samsung would license CPU and GPU designs and piece together a chipset. The Lumex CSS is a turnkey solution .

In ARM’s own words, its silicon and OEM partners will be able to “use the implementations as flexible building blocks, so they can focus on differentiation at...

We're talking about using pulse width modulation (PWM) for dimming the screen, which basically means the screen is quickly turned off and then on again. This, rather understandably, causes some sensitive people eye strain, headaches, and other symptoms, especially when it's taking place at a low rate. Apple now has a solution. The...
Entry-level smartphones are now at a point where they're pretty hard to fault. The Galaxy A07 4G can be found for under €100, yet packs good specs, solid software support, and looks alright too. The A07 4G brings some serious upgrades compared to its predecessor. It gets a smooth 90Hz display, which makes a world of difference compared to plain old 60Hz. The LCD isn't the brightest, but it will be sufficient in all but extremely bright conditions.
