vivo S5 is arriving on November 14

vivo teased the S5 earlier this week and today the company announced the smartphone will be unveiled on November 14 at an event in Hangzhou, China. The company made the announcement by posting a video on Weibo. It doesn't reveal much about the S5, but the smartphone was spotted in a video last week with three cameras on its back arranged in a diamond-shaped formation. Details are scarce about the vivo S5 right now, but seeing how the S1 and S1 Pro were photo-centric devices, we expect the S5 to be aimed at the same audience and come with a 48/64MP primary camera and a 32MP... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2JFDSbV via

Huawei MatePad Pro leaks with slim bezels, punch-hole camera, stylus

A couple or so weeks ago an unannounced Huawei tablet leaked in some official-looking (yet low quality) renders, showing a punch-hole display housing a selfie camera in one corner, incredibly thin bezels for a tablet, a keyboard accessory, and a stylus that magnetically attaches to the tablet's top side. Today Evan Blass, aka @evleaks, has outed a new press render of the same device, and also provided us with its commercial name. It's going to be called Huawei MatePad Pro, and not MediaPad M7, as previously rumored.

Our Motorola One Zoom video review is up

This has been the year when a lot of phone makers' lineups have gotten more confusing than ever, and Motorola is no exception. The One branding used to imply that phones with that name were part of the Android One program, but now... not so much. We're also getting more and more Motorola One branded handsets, and the latest of the bunch is the One Zoom. It has "Zoom" in the name, but its telephoto lens provides only 3x magnification, so it's bested on that front by competitors from Huawei and Oppo. Still, what's it like to use?

Apple's 5G iPhones to have 5nm chipset, Qualcomm's X55 modem

Although a lot of Android device makers have already launched 5G capable smartphones, Apple is still holding out. This year's iPhones top out at 4G, but that situation has long been rumored to change in 2020. Now a new report out of Japan claims that next year's iPhones will employ Qualcomm's X55 5G modem, according to four people familiar with the plan.

AKG Y500 Wireless review

The Y500 Wireless is a new pair of Bluetooth headphones from the Samsung owned AKG Acoustics. It's a fairly affordable pair for casual, outdoor use with a compact, foldable design and some unique features for the price. The design of these headphones is quite appealing. It's quite compact, thanks to a relatively thin frame and small ear cups, and they also fold inwards to be stowed away easily. They come in four different colors, black, green, blue and pink. Build quality is average. They feel lightweight and plasticky with slightly loose joints. The headband length is adjustable... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2MZWCVI via

Just wfter the official market release of the Pixel 4 duo, Google is updating its default camera app to version 7.2. The major highlight here is that it brings back support for H.265 video recording.

Pixel 4 eye detection fix for face unlock on the way, says Google

Google was in the spotlight last week with the introduction of the brand new Pixel 4 lineup. The two phones mark the first time in the Pixel era that Google decided to ditch the fingerprint scanner in favor of face unlock and it did not come without its issues.
