Reportedly, Sony's upcoming Xperia flagships will apply a unique digital signature to photos and videos to prevent fakes.

The new version of the software was announced a couple of months ago and even shared a list of devices eligible for the update. Anyone who has used Funtouch OS knows that iQOO likes to include a set of "Hot Apps" and "Hot Games" with its devices out of the box. With Futnouch OS 14 going forward, there won't be any of those. In other words - iQOO is getting rid of the bloatware. Additionally, the...

Once again Samsung US is using the opportunity to get you to try out its Shop Samsung app with some exclusive discounts.

OnePlus just announced the colors for the upcoming OnePlus 12 - White, Green, and Black. The company has put some thought behind the colors - white is a touch of blank space, green is a pale rock among thousands of rivers and mountains, while black represents ten years of hard work, a nod to the company's ten-year anniversary. These colors will likely be the official ones for the Chinese market, where the OnePlus 12 will launch on December 4. It's not clear whether the global variant of the phone will have the same options - the OnePlus Open is Black only in Europe and Green...

The Google Pixel 8 duo this year brings a handful of improvements compared to its predecessors despite recycling the same design for a few generations now. The new generation offers new camera hardware, nicer displays, faster charging, and a more powerful chipset with improved AI capabilities. They are the first Pixel phones to offer seven years of full software support. In theory, they should receive Android 21.

A report from The Elec claims that Samsung might introduce a new kind of blue phosphorescent OLED panel in 2025, although industry watchers were expecting a 2024 debut initially. It looks like the development of the new material used for the blue sub-pixels isn't going smoothly. Samsung's current display technology implements phosphorescent green and red sub-pixels, but the blue diodes are still using fluorescent. So you can't call them PHOLED as it isn't technically correct. The new phosphorescent diodes offer 100% internal luminous efficiency, compared to the blue fluorescent ones...

The Samsung Galaxy A54 came really close to retaking the lead, but ended up second, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra retained its third spot.

Samsung's Galaxy S23 FE launched in the US recently after a ton of leaks, and its normal price is $599.99. At the beginning of this month, we saw it going for $499, which is a cool $100 below retail and a very good deal for a device that hasn't been on the market all that long. But you know how Black Friday is coming up and every retailer under the sun wants to take your breath away with amazing deals? Well, the Galaxy S23 FE got caught up in that, and can now be had for only $399.99 at Best Buy. That's $200 off the normal price, and at $399.99, it's hard to argue with this device...
Motorola split its flip-style foldables into two this year - the Razr (in the US) / Razr 40 (everywhere else) is the first mid-range flip foldable, while the Razr+ (in the US) / Razr 40 Ultra (everywhere else) is the flagship of the line. And so it's obviously the more expensive model. The Razr+ normally retails for $999.99 in the US, but today Amazon has started its Black Friday bonanza, and is offering the Razr+ for just $699.99. That's a whopping 30% off, and it makes the Razr+ cost exactly as much as the non-Plus Razr normally goes for. That's an outstanding deal, if we do say so...

Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 FE are two interesting smartphones, part of the current flagship generation. It is only natural to wonder about their differences, their performance, and most importantly – which one to choose. If so, then you are at the right place. The Galaxy S23 FE is more like a Galaxy S22 FE that's late to the party as it features the previous generation chips, and it shares much of the same hardware. Though the extra weight and thicker bezels give away its less-than-premium nature. Table of Contents: Design Display Battery Life Charging Speed ...

The color of chat bubbles is extremely important to people in the US for some reason. Blue is good, green is poor - or something like that, right? We don't know, we're from Europe, and over here people have WhatsApp and Telegram and Facebook Messenger. But in the US, bubbles matter. And they will continue to, unfortunately, even with today's groundbreaking announcement from Apple. The company finally caved and revealed that it plans to adopt RCS in iOS from next year. RCS, as you may know, is the iMessage-like standard that works on top of SMS. But, importantly, it's not iMessage....

Note: the trade-in value is subtracted first, the percentage discount is applied second. And to give you an extra nudge to try out its shop app, Samsung will give you $25 off your first purchase with it (available only for purchases of $250 or more)....

Last week an intriguing rumor made the rounds, claiming that Samsung is working on a more affordable foldable device to be launched next year. That in itself isn't the intriguing bit - it's how much it was rumored to cost: "$400 to $500".
