Apple iPhone 14 Pro Outperforms Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in Performance

Feb 15, 2023

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series was recently unveiled at the Unpacked event. Undoubtedly, the most striking model among them was the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The phone, which stands out with its performance and capabilities, has also earned the right to be the flagship of Android. So, could the S23 Ultra, perhaps the best Android phone in existence, rival the iPhone 14 Pro? Here are the details…

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Takes Lead over Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

The Galaxy S23 Ultra uses a custom overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC developed in partnership with Qualcomm and Samsung. Additionally, due to the size of the phone, it has more assertive cooling solutions. However, despite being newer and having these features, the S23 Ultra is not able to beat the iPhone 14 Pro. According to CompareDial’s Geekbench test (assuming Geekbench 5), the iPhone 14 Pro outperformed the Galaxy S23 Ultra by 21.02%.

iPhone 14 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

In the single-core performance test, the iPhone 14 Pro received a score of 1,874, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra received only a score of 1,480. The iPhone 14 Pro outperformed the Galaxy S23 Ultra by 21.02%. However, when it came to multi-core tests, the gap narrowed to 14.86%. The iPhone 14 Pro maintained its lead with a score of 5,384, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra received a score of 4,584. Interestingly, in terms of single-core performance, the older iPhone 14 with the A15 Bionic and a 5-core GPU outperforms the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Apple’s success with A-series processors was not a secret anyway. Similar results were obtained in a test conducted last year, and the iPhone 13, which came with the A15, had better scores than the Galaxy S22. In fact, according to the single-core score, the iPhone 13 performs better than the S23 series. However, these tests do not mean that one device is necessarily worse than the other.

Real life use cases are much more important than synthetic testing. Not many of us even manage to push the limits of a mid-range phone. While this shows us how far mobile technologies have come, it reminds us that these tests do not reflect real life. At the end of the day, whether you choose the iPhone 14 Pro or the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, both phones are great options.

Sony PS VR 2 Teardown Shows How the Headset and Its Controllers Work

Feb 15, 2023

Sony has just released a new video in which it tears down the upcoming PlayStation VR 2 system. The VR headset and its Sense controllers can be seen being taken apart revealing their internal layout and functions. So let’s have a look.

In the official teardown video, we can see that the Japanese tech giant’s Sense controllers are equipped with IR LEDs. The orb shaped controller houses a ring of 14 IR LEDs and three that are placed in the other areas for better tracking. According to Takeshi Igarashi, DualSense controller designer, “These infrared lights are used by the VR headset’s tracking camera to detect the controller’s position and orientation”.

He further explained in the video that “The LEDs have been placed in optimal locations to ensure they are accurately detected no matter what direction the controller is facing,” and that the cover on the controllers are also made of material that ” transmits the infrared light emitted internally to track the movement of the controller.” The video also shows the five capacitive touch sensors on the controller.

Breaking down the headset itself, we get a glimpse of the inside of the headset. This also reveals what it looks like when you turn the adjustment dial. Sony also added that one should not try teardown by yourself. The company stated that taking apart the headset or controllers will invalidate the warranty. The PS VR2 is set to launch on 22nd February 2023.

Modded iPhone 12 Mini With Both USB-C and Lightning Ports Surfaces

Feb 15, 2023

A modded iPhone 12 Mini has been spotted with both USB-C and Lightning ports. The iPhone 12 series originally came with only a Lightning port. There had been reports of a possible switch by Apple from a Lightning port to a USB-C port before now. The addition of a USB-C interface is the first-ever modification of such nature for the iPhone 12 Mini. The feat of modifying the iPhone 12 Mini with the addition of the USB-C port was done by a YouTuber who goes by the name Hyphaistos3672.

The iPhone 12 Mini was first disassembled, with the speaker removed. This created space for an additional USB-C port which was then linked to the existing hardware. The speaker was then modified to fit into the new architecture. After reassembling the device, the components seemed to have fitted snugly. Both the internal and external finishing was surprisingly good.

Both the Lightning port and USB-C ports were demonstrated to be fully functional on the device. So it seems realistic to simultaneously charge the device while listening to audio via a wired connection. Since the removal of the audio jack from iPhones, it was not possible to simultaneously listen to audio and charge the iPhone.

It has to be stated though that the addition of a USB port is not new with iPhone modifications. There had also been speculations that Apple was considering ditching the Lightning port for USB-C connectivity. Indeed, there had been some regulatory pressure on the Cupertino-based company but it hasn’t changed to USB-C yet.

Feb 15, 2023

Samsung recently announced One UI 5.1 with the S23 series at the Galaxy Unpacked event. Right after that, Galaxy S22, Galaxy S21, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Z Fold 4 became the first models to receive the update. While the company’s quick update schedule pleased users, unfortunately, things did not go as expected. After the installation of One UI 5.1, some Samsung users reporting several issues related to update, battery draining, and more. Here are the details…

Is One UI 5.1 Unreliable? Questions Raised by Recent Issues

Most of us are aware that using up-to-date software can be beneficial. With new updates, features, security measures and other improvements, these updates can help enhance the user experience. However, with old devices and new software, there may be a lack of harmony between the two and this can lead to some issues. This is exactly what some Galaxy users are experiencing with One UI 5.1.

A Samsung Galaxy S22 user has reported a bad experience after installing One UI 5.1. The user noted that sometimes the phone lags during certain animations and also experienced a battery-draining issue. It’s understandable that users have become frustrated with these issues and Samsung is working hard to find a solution. In the meantime, users are encouraged to reach out to Samsung’s customer service team for help in resolving any issues they may be facing.

Many users have been experiencing issues with the One UI 5.1 installation, with some reporting that certain features are no longer available. Most notably, the ability to choose from different colors when setting a new wallpaper has been removed. This is a problem for those who use this feature regularly, as manual selection of colors is now required. In addition, the rapid depletion of the battery and the problems experienced in many different bugs.

Samsung Working on Fixing Issues

The One UI team is aware of the issue and working to resolve it as quickly as possible. In the meantime, affected users are encouraged to check for updates regularly to ensure they have the most recent version installed. And if you’re one of the lucky few who haven’t updated their device, you’d better wait a little longer.

Google Fiber Launches Its 5Gbps Service for a Monthly Fee of $125

Feb 15, 2023

Google Fiber has just launched its new 5Gbps internet plan option. The company had been testing this high speed internet service last year, and is finally rolling out the $100+ service in the US. So let’s have a look.

The new internet plan is available as of right now in Kansas City, West Des Moines, and in Utah. This service offers a symmetrical upload and download speeds, an upgraded 10 Gig Fiber Jack that will be professionally installed, a Wi-Fi 6 router, and up to two mesh network extenders as well. While 5Gbps is definitely really fast, most common households wouldn’t require such high speeds. So this is clearly being offered to people working as creative professionals, gamers, or any one who would need to transfer large files often and have minimal latency.

A great example of just how impressive the new Google Fiber internet plan is, the Microsoft Flight Simulator download takes around 11 minutes at 2Gbps. However, this would fall to just around three minutes at 6Gbps. The Search engine giant is focusing its efforts on Fiber and is working on expanding its network. Through this, we can see Fiber soon be disruptive in the internet providing service market.

The 5Gbps service has a month fee of 125 US Dollars. And it doesn’t just end there as Google has also added that it is working on an 8Gbps option as well for Fiber. This was announced last year, although it is still under the “coming soon” banner. It is likely that this plan would also offer symmetrical upload and download speeds as well.

Samsung is rumored to debut new Galaxy A-series devices in March 2023. We expect the initial launch to include the Galaxy A54 5G and the Galaxy A34 5G, with more devices joining the lineup later. One such device is expected to be the 4G version of the Galaxy A24 which has been subject to some leaks in recent weeks.

The device has now appeared on the NBTC certification website bearing model number SM-A245F/DSN. Although the listing does not confirm any specifications of the upcoming smartphone, it all but guarantees that the device will be launched in Thailand.

Talking about the specs, the Galaxy A24 4G was spotted on Geekbench with a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset under its hood. For those unaware, the Helio G99 is a 6 nm-based chipset made for mid-range 4G devices. Along with being decently powerful, the chipset is also very energy efficient enabling long battery life even while being used for gaming.

Other than that, the A24 4G is tipped to feature a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and Full HD+ resolution. We expect the display to feature a water-drop notch. According to reports, the Samsung Galaxy A24 is expected to feature a triple rear camera system consisting of a 48MP primary camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 5MP auxiliary sensor. The phone is rumored to come with a 4000mAh battery that supports 15W fast charging, although an FCC certification listing suggests it may support 25W fast charging instead. Lastly, the operating system on the device will likely be One UI 5.0 based on Android 13.
