Turning your smartphone into a standalone webcam for laptops or computers isn’t a novel idea. Android and iPhones support this feature through third-party apps while Apple recently made it a core iPhone function on iOS 16 through Continuity Camera. Google might be taking some cues from Apple as evidence of native support for Android was spotted.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 (Plus) brought most major changes under the hood. This includes the souped-up version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC as well as bigger battery capacities. Samsung also improved the cooling system on the lineup, which is now larger and replaces the graphite on the standard Galaxy S23 with a vapor chamber type.
There’s already one big reason why you should be buying the Apple iPhone 14 (Pro) over the Galaxy S23 this year. The unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra surely made a big buzz. However, not all were a hit for Samsung as there was one notable missing feature from the trio, which is satellite connectivity.
The Huawei Mate 50 Pro that I tested is the latest high-end smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer. It is still expensive as it costs more than 1000 euros in Europe. It is still limited by the absence of Google Mobile Services (GMS). Can we really recommend buying it in 2023?
Rumors about Apple’s foldable device keep swirling. It was reported a couple of days ago that the first iPad Fold would launch alongside iPad Mini 7 in 2024 claim by a notable analyst. However, two separate sources now suggest that we could be seeing a humongous foldable first rather than a folding iPad.
Among the rumored distinguishable features that the rumored iPhone 15 Pro Max or Ultra will benefit from and that won’t be found in Apple’s smaller iPhone 15 Pro is the periscope camera. Based on a fresh claim, the sensor could remain exclusive up to next year’s iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The Apple Watch lineup was updated in 2022 with the introduction of the Watch Series 8. The new model has a temperature sensor and detects crashes. Under the hood, we’ve seen a system-on-a-chip (SoC) upgrade—and, according to Apple, the battery life reaches up to 36 hours in low-power mode. But are these few increments worth the upgrade from the Apple Watch Series 7 to the new model? NextPit reviewed the Watch 7 and the Watch 8 and compares the two smartwatches.
OnePlus could be taking a cue from Samsung’s Galaxy foldable naming conventions. A new listing appears to confirm that there are two OnePlus foldables in the works while also revealing the OnePlus V Fold and V Flip monikers of these devices.
Nothing Phone (2) is in the works. Its CEO and co-founder Carl Pei said that the successor to the Phone (1) will be launched in the USA later this year. But clues about the device’s specifications and pricing were not given.
Following the news of Apple launching the iPad ‘Fold’ with a giant display, notable analyst is now predicting that the foldable tablet will be equipped with an ultra-light and sturdy carbon fiber kickstand. The folding iPad is expected to be revealed next year, which is the same release window for the iPad Mini 7 or 2024 model.
