Watch the Sony Xperia 5 V announcement live here

The Sony Xperia 5 V (that's five-mark-five if you were wondering) is finally coming out today. And as usual, Sony will broadcast the announcement live on YouTube. The Xperia 5 V will swap a triple camera system for a dual one, but the large sensor main camera could very well have superior light-gathering capabilities than the outgoing model's telephoto module even at 2x magnifaction. Upfront, expect a 6.1-inch 120Hz OLED display and two front-firing speakers. Underneath the Xperia 5 V has the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip with as much as 16GB of RAM. The battery should be a 5,000mAh...

OnePlus 11 gets Android 14 on September 25

In the past couple of days both Apple and Google have unveiled the dates of their upcoming fall launch events, and today OnePlus has an announcement of its own, but this isn't about a new phone - the OnePlus Open's introduction is still up in the air, it seems. Instead, the company has revealed that it will release stable OxygenOS 14, based on Android 14, on September 25. That's quite an optimistic timeline on OnePlus' part, considering the fact that Google hasn't released stable Android 14 yet. A public beta build of OxygenOS 14 is promised to be released in the coming days for the...

Yesterday, Apple made the date of its next grand unveiling event official. It will announce the iPhone 15 series on September 12. Today, Google has revealed the date for its next big hardware event. It's done so way sooner than Apple, however, which makes us think it wanted to 'respond' to Apple's announcement in this way. Anyway, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are getting official on October 4.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will use only Snapdragon chips, leakster claims

Yesterday, Ice Universe reported that Samsung will be using the Exynos 2400 for the Galaxy S24 series in Europe. Now a different leakster, Setsuna Digital, claims that this isn’t quite true – only the Galaxy S24 and S24+ will be getting the Samsung-designed chip. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy in all markets, says Setsuna. This will make the separation between the Ultra and its smaller siblings feel even more pronounced.

vivo iQOO 12 Pro could have 64 MP periscope camera

Vivo invests a lot in the camera performance of its smartphones, but the iQOO flagships have been missing a proper telephoto camera with a periscope lens in front.

CMF by Nothing's first products leak ahead of September 26 launch

nubia's first 1-inch 35mm camera-equipped phone pictured

ZTE is unique because of its use of 35mm lens on the main cameras of some of its flagships, like the nubia Z50S Pro and the Axon 40 Ultra before it. And it seems ready to take the next step by delivering a 35mm camera with 1-inch type sensor.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 survives a brutal torture test

Foldables get a bad rep for being too fragile, which is understandable given the new form factor, soft inner screens and the moving parts in the hinge. However, they've come a long way and the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 can withstand a serious beating. In the latest JerryRigEverything video, the vertical foldable undergoes a brutal torture test. Aside from the usual scratching and burning, the Z Flip5 had to go through sand and backward bending. Not only did the hinge survive all the dust that was sprinkled on it, but the inner screen was still fully functional even after spreading some...

Tozo Open Buds review

Introduction One of the key pillars of a good pair of wireless earphones is how they fit your ears. With varying ear shapes and sizes, getting the right fit for your specific ear shape can be a challenge and that’s where open-ear earphones come in place. These types of earphones don’t just go into your ears but rather rest right around them in an effort to overcome the fit issue. We’ll be taking a look at the Tozo Open Buds - one of the newest releases from the audio-focused brand which currently retail for $56 on Amazon. ...

Weekly poll: do you use a screen protector and a case?

A couple of years ago we asked you whether you still use a screen protector and case – back then most users had a glass protector and a silicone case guarding their phone. Has that changed? Let’s find out. An IP rating is pretty common these days, especially in the high-end segment and even in the mid-range. Plus, Corning keeps releasing more and more durable Gorilla Glass versions. In theory, your phone is tough enough to go commando. Still, there’s a chance that something will break – replacing the screen of a Galaxy S23 Ultra costs $320, for an iPhone 14 Pro Max you would be looking...

Weekly poll results: Xiaomi Mix Fold3 sparks excitement at a distance

Is the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 the best horizontal foldable yet? According to the results from last week’s poll, the answer seems to be a firm “yes”, but with a big catch – so far, Xiaomi has made no plans to bring the Fold 3 to the global market, leaving it as a China exclusive. And that’s a problem for all those would-be buyers that live elsewhere. Some like the foldable well enough that they will try to import a unit, accepting the risks that come with buying a pricey device that has no official support (software and hardware) nearby. The phone’s camera setup – 50MP main, 5x and 3.2x tele...

Sony WF-1000XM5 in for review

We now have the latest Sony TWS earbuds with active noise cancellation - the flagship WF-1000XM5's and they have some big shoes to fill.

This is the iPhone 15 Pro in Titan Gray, the colorway that will replace gold

Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 Pro will be unveiled at a special event next month, that's rumored to be happening on September 12. The date itself should become official next week.
