The POCO F6 Pro will be officially unveiled in the global market later this week. But ahead of any official announcement, the brand’s latest teaser has taken on South Korean tech giant Samsung and its flagship phone. The Chinese brand recently shared a teaser where it compared its upcoming F6 Pro against the Galaxy S24+. So let’s see which one appears better on paper.

POCO F6 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24+

To recall, the POCO F6 series will be announced on 23rd May 2024. These smartphones would also arrive with the brand’s first-ever tablet, the POCO Pad. To hype up the upcoming launch, POCO shared a new teaser that had the device pitted against the Galaxy S24+. The company claims that there is no competition in the price range the F6 Pro will launch in. The two devices were compared in various aspects.

Samsung’s Galaxy S24+ launched with the Exynos 2400, while the POCO F6 Pro arrives with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. It supports 120W wired fast charging, which is quite a bit faster than the 45W wired fast charging on the Galaxy S24+. The latter sports a QHD+ 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 2600 nits of peak brightness and the former sports a WQHD+ 120Hz Flow AMOLED screen with 4000 nits of peak brightness. A large 5,000mAh battery pack powers the F6 Pro and the S24+ is powered by a 4,900mAh cell.

The F6 Pro has a premium metal frame and the S24+ has an Armor aluminum frame. Both devices offer a 50-megapixel triple camera setup with OIS. Apart from these specs, the pricing is likely another area where the F6 Pro may outclass Samsung’s current-gen flagship device. The Galaxy S24+ starts from 999 US Dollars and goes up to 1,199 US Dollars. Meanwhile, all three storage variants of the POCO F6 Pro with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage still won’t cross the 1000 US Dollar mark. So stick around for more as we will be covering the launch event soon.

May 20, 2024

TCL CSOT (TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology) unveiled the world’s first functional tri-foldable phone at the Society for Information Display (SID) 2024 exhibition. It comes five years after the company showed a non-working prototype of a similar design in 2019.

The phone uses a “Free-type” tri-foldable display that unfolds to reveal a 7.85-inch screen, offering a tablet-like experience when fully open. The panel has a typical tablet aspect ratio when flattened and supports a unique folding mechanism that allows for both “G” and “Z” shaped configurations.

Previous iterations of tri-foldable phones have struggled with excessive thickness. TCL appears to have addressed this concern, with their model measuring a mere 427 microns thick.

The phone also has what TCL calls a Sensor Under Panel (SUP) design that enables 3D facial recognition through sensors fitted beneath the display. mobile payments and device unlocking.

Notably, both the regular display area and the SUP region maintain a consistent pixel density of 420PPI for a uniform visual experience.

The panel also has modern tech like LTPO technology that allows the device to adjust the refresh rate between 1Hz and 120Hz and low power consumption. Durability is another focus, with TCL claiming the display is built to last.

TCL’s plans for commercialization of this tri-foldable phone remain unclear. It’s worth noting that giants like Huawei are rumored to be working on similar devices. Rumors are that Huawei may launch a tri-fold phone with a 10-inch display later this year.

iPhone 16 Pro Max: Apple’s next-gen flagship may offer impressive battery life

By

May 20, 2024

Apple iPhone 16 lineup is set to launch later this year. While the announcement is still months away, a fresh report has revealed more details regarding the next-gen flagship, the iPhone 16 Pro Max. So here are all the details.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max: Battery life bump?

The news arrives from known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Apparently, the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max may offer a longer battery life compared to its predecessor. But the brand isn’t simply expanding the capacity of the battery. Rather, it is rumored to employ a cell with higher energy density to bring a longer endurance while maintaining the battery size. On the other hand, Apple may also choose to use this technology to maintain a similar battery life but make the cell smaller. But since the design isn’t slated for a major overhaul, we could expect the battery life to see a noticeable bump thanks to the newer battery tech as well as the new A18 Pro processor.

This, in turn, could make the iPhone 16 Pro Max lighter and possibly slimmer as well. Kuo added that the supply chain survey has hinted at a boost in energy density (Wh.kg) for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Although, this density could also lead to increasing thermal but Apple could deal with overheating via a stainless steel battery case. This would mark the first time that the company uses this material on its battery case.

It is still unclear what technology Apple intends to use on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Furthermore, the shift to stainless steel is in line with the EU’s future requirements for battery replaceability. However, it may now dissipate heat as effectively as aluminum. So stick around for more as we will be providing more updates when additional information is available regarding the 2024 iPhones.

May 20, 2024

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has offered some predictions on the color options for the upcoming iPhone 16 series, and with his proven track record, his words carry significant weight. As Apple typically unveils its new iPhones in September, these color choices could be what greets us this fall.

Kuo, via a social media post, suggests that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will come in Black, White (or Silver), Gray (or Natural Titanium), and Rose. The Rose color will replace the current Blue Titanium option of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

2H24 iPhone 16系列機殼顏色預測

iPhone 16 Pro & Pro Max：黑色、白色 (或銀色)、灰色 (應該是原色鈦金屬)、玫瑰
iPhone 16 & 16 Plus：黑色、綠色、粉紅、藍色、白色

Apple可能對顏色會有不同的稱呼 (如先前稱呼白色為星光色)。此外，即便顏色名稱與既有機種相同，但看起來可能會不一樣。

–…
— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) May 19, 2024

For the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, Kuo mentions Black, Green, Pink, Blue, and White. Here, the key change is White which will replace the Yellow from the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus’s color palette.

Kuo also mentions that Apple might tweak the names of existing colors slightly, and even if a name sounds familiar, the shade might be different. For instance, the new White might have subtle variations compared to previous versions.

An X user @ArnaudDucouret has created an image showing what the iPhone 16 Pro series could look like based on Kuo’s predictions. If accurate, this would be the first time the Pro line will have a Rose color.

While these are just predictions, Kuo’s history suggests a high chance of them being accurate. September is still a few months away, but details about the iPhone 16 series are gradually trickling out. We’ll be sure to keep you in the loop on any new developments regarding these devices.

Huawei to launch Android-Free HarmonyOS NEXT in September, claims tipster

By

-

May 20, 2024

Huawei‘s developer conference in June is expected to bring the Beta launch of the HarmonyOS NEXT version, a significant milestone for the company’s homegrown operating system. While official details are still under wraps, a recent leak suggests a wider rollout in September across various device categories.

Tipster Digital Chat Station claims internal plans for a September launch of HarmonyOS NEXT with compatibility for “candy bar flagships, folding flagships, mid-range phones, tablets, and smartwatches” expected in the latter half of 2024.

The candy bar flagship mentioned in the leak likely refers to the upcoming Huawei Mate 70 series, which based on previous reports, is expected to launch in early September.

Technically, with HarmonyOS NEXT, Huawei is making a complete break from Android. It ditches the traditional Android Open Source Project (AOSP) codebase completely and relies entirely on Huawei’s self-developed Hongmeng kernel and system applications, making it incompatible with Android apps.

Despite this shift, Huawei has been successful in convincing thousands of companies and institutions to develop native applications for HarmonyOS NEXT. The company announced that over 4,000 native apps have already been developed for the new OS, with more on the way. These apps span various categories like navigation, news, finance, and games.

Huawei’s official goal is to have 5,000 native apps available by the end of 2024, with a long-term vision of reaching 500,000. The success of this transition will depend heavily on app developer adoption and user experience with the new app ecosystem.

The September launch timeframe suggests an ambitious rollout plan for Huawei. Whether the new HarmonyOS can establish itself as a viable alternative in the mobile operating system market remains to be seen.
