In just a couple of days, Samsung will be officially unveiling the Galaxy S23 (Ultra). The entire specs of the trio have been mostly revealed ahead. However, there is fresh information specifying how Samsung is slowing down a particular variant of the Galaxy S23 and which the company may not tell you after all.
Motorola officially presented the Motorola X40 in its home country China in mid-December, and it will be slightly modified and presented again as Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola at CES 2023 in Las Vegas. Now February is just around the corner, at the end of which MWC 2023 in Barcelona will follow and we will probably see the Motorola Edge+ 2023 (Edge 40 Pro in Europe). Confused? They are mostly the same smartphone.
Samsung is not only debuting the Galaxy S23 on February 1st but it will also introduce new software features through the One UI 5.1 and that will be rolled out to compatible Samsung Galaxy models later. Interestingly, these changes are now revealed.
Google is now rolling out an enhanced security feature for Chrome on Android which allows users to lock incognito tabs and require biometrics, passwords or PIN when opening them back. NextPit tells you how you can activate the incognito lock feature on your mobile phone’s browser.
The Oppo Find N2 could establish itself as the star among foldable smartphones with its unique form factor. However, for reasons unknown to us, the OnePlus parent company would rather sell the Oppo Find N2 Flip internationally and jump on Samsung’s success train of clamshell foldables. Nevertheless, we had the “middle ground” between Fold and Flip delivered to the NextPit editorial office and reviewed it in detail.
You might now have a reason not to put a protective case on a phone. Corning unveiled the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 at the end of 2022 which brings improved shatterproof protection even on rougher surfaces like concrete. The company has now confirmed that Samsung will be the first brand to use next-gen glass and likely in the upcoming Galaxy S23.
The Galaxy A54’s specs and images were leaked earlier this month. A fresh filing is now adding more details about Samsung’s new mid-range Android smartphone including the battery capacity, charging speed, and faster Wi-Fi connectivity.
Despite how the iPhone 14 (Pro) costs just as much as its Android flagship phones alternatives, the lineup is still missing a few premium features such as faster Wi-Fi 6E connectivity compared to the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro. Apple seems to make up for this shortcoming in the iPhone 15.
These are hard times for smartphone manufacturers. This is now confirmed by IDC’s figures, which show a striking drop in sales for the fourth quarter of 2022. Chinese smartphone manufacturers were particularly affected, while Samsung and Apple get off comparatively lightly.
The new iPad Pro (2022) is a real powerhouse and is developing more and more into a real high-performance computer that can also perform very computationally intensive operations. The iPad Pro is also no longer inferior to “real” mobile computers in terms of price. But why I do not want to participate in a price discussion, who should buy the iPad Pro, and what Apple’s new super tablet can do is explained in NextPit’s review.
