Honor 30S coming to Europe, might be a rebranded Huawei P40 Lite 5G

The Honor 30S was launched in China earlier this year, and now the name is rumored to appear outside the company's domestic market. However, we say "name", because alleged renders reveal this isn't the same phone. A detailed inspection of the Huawei portfolio reveals we've already seen this phone - this is actually the Huawei nova 7 SE (which is also known as the Huawei P40 Lite 5G, but which you shouldn't confuse with the Huawei P40 Lite). European Honor 30S While it's hard to confirm the authenticity of these renders, it wouldn't be a surprise for Huawei and its... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Y25peb via

Flashback: the Motorola Nexus 6 was the best in the series and it changed Google

The Motorola Nexus 6 came at a strange time. Google had just sold off the Motorola division to Lenovo months earlier and the smartphone world was in a sudden transition to 64-bit processors. Also, flagship prices were on the rise, something Google tried to fight with the affordable Nexus 4 and 5, but this phone was different. With the Nexus 6, Google attempted to create a premium device and in many respects it succeeded. However, the $650 price tag for the 32GB model did not sit right with many Nexus fans and the larger 5.96" display had its detractors as well. This was large even by the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2TTw7V1 via

Weekly poll: is the Realme X3 SuperZoom the right one for you?

Could it be? A periscope camera on a €500 phone that will be available in Europe, rather than China-exclusive? The Realme X3 SuperZoom makes that a reality and shows that the brand is serious about getting a foothold on the Old Continent. The periscope lens has 122mm focal length, that's 5x magnification compared to the main camera. Speaking of, the 64MP main cam assists in shooting up to 60x hybrid zoom photos. The phone also boasts two 8MP ultrawide cameras, one on the front and one on the back (the main selfie cam is a 32MP shooter).

Weekly poll results: most people are looking to spend between $200 and $600 on their next phone

Most people are looking to buy a phone in the $200-$600 range, shows last week's poll. The lower half of that price range proved the most popular, meaning that $200-$400 is the sweet spot for new devices. This also means that Apple hit the bullseye with the iPhone SE (2020), which is exactly $400 if you can make do with 64GB storage. The upgrade to 128GB costs $50, which pushes things into the next price range, but that's not unexpected for Apple. Still, an Apple A13 chipset at $400 should be a wake-up call to Android makers and probably Qualcomm too - Apple's chipset is in a league of... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2ApcVHP via

Samsung Galaxy Note20's battery could be 4,300 mAh after all

Samsung's Galaxy Note20+ will apparently have a 4,500 mAh battery, but what about the (slightly) smaller Note20? Back in April, word on the streets was 4,000 mAh. Now though, it looks like Samsung has managed to cram a bit more juice into the Note20's cell. After digging through the Chinese 3C's certification database, the enterprising folks at SamMobile have figured out that the model number for the battery that's going to be used in the Chinese version of the Note20 is EB-BN980ABY. Oh, and its capacity is 4,300 mAh. That's marginally better than what was thought before, and in... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/3eyj3fE via

Foldable Motorola Razr 2 will up the hardware game compared to its predecessor

Motorola's reborn Razr with a foldable screen is a very expensive device with a mid-range chipset, an incredibly small battery, and disappointing camera. Clearly, it went all in on cashing in on the nostalgia, and it might have done better for foldable display fans were it not for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, which is cheaper, but also outdoes the Razr in every single aspect aside from one: the size (and usefulness) of the external display.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 alleged CAD renders leak with Galaxy S20 Ultra's camera setup

A new set of renders and a short video clip show what the Samsung Galaxy Note20 will look like. The renders come from Pigtou in collaboration with who claims that these renders are based on drawings obtained by the outlet's sources and not conceptual. The report mentions some elements of the render cannot be confirmed at this time. The device (unsurprisingly) looks a lot like the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. It appears to have a similar camera module to the S20 Ultra. As typically is with the Note series, the Galaxy Note20 has a boxier appearance with more squarish corners.

Motorola Edge+ is already $200 cheaper at Verizon

The Motorola Edge+ is still a very new device on Verizon's shelves, having been released around one week ago. And yet, the carrier is already offering a sweet deal on the phone. Normally priced at $999.99, the Edge+ can now be yours for just $799.92. Note that this may be a limited time offer, but Verizon isn't saying. Even so, it's a bit weird to see a 20% price cut within a week of launch, so this might imply that the carrier hasn't been moving a lot of units at the recommended price. In our in-depth review of the Edge+, we noted that its price in the US and lack of a lot of... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/3gcMIMT via

Apple releases iOS 13.5 with COVID-19 specific features

Apple has released iOS 13.5 and iPadOS 13.5 with features relevant to our post-COVID-19 world. Chief among these is a simplified unlock process for devices with Face ID for those who wear masks, which goes without saying should be everyone working outdoors. What the new system does is automatically show the passcode field when it detects you are wearing a face mask, so you can just directly enter the passcode and bypass Face ID. This works for unlocking the device and also in apps for things like payments. The other COVID-19 relevant feature is the support for Exposure... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Xk1rx7 via

Another foldable Motorola Razr is planned for September

Motorola's new Razr, the rebirth of the classic form factor with a foldable screen, is definitely not a perfect device, what with its performance and sub-par camera and battery life and overall creakiness, so there clearly are a lot of things on which a possible successor might improve upon. Well, guess what? Such a device is already in the works, and apparently slated for an announcement around September. This is according to Thibault Dousson, Lenovo's general manager for South Africa. This "new iteration" of the phone is also referred to as "generation two" in a tech podcast where the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2zVFOLv via

Android 11 will label sub-6GHz networks "5G", mmWave will be "5G+", but "5Ge" is still LTE

Google has updated the Features overview page for Android 11 and in it is the iconography that will be used to indicate whether the phone is connected to a 4G or 5G network. And as is tradition, these will probably cause confusion instead of clearing things up. The "5Ge" label in particular is iffy - that is actually LTE Advanced Pro. Even though it promises impressive theoretical speeds of up to 3Gbps (with carrier aggregation), it is still just a successor to LTE Advanced and not true 5G. AT&T tried to relabel its LTE Advanced network to "5G E" as far back as 2018, the icon even... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2TrcenT via

Verizon's Galaxy S20 5G UW with mmWave support arrives on June 4

So far Verizon has been missing one member of Samsung's Galaxy S20 family, the 'junior' S20. The carrier has been selling the S20+ and S20 Ultra, but the S20 has taken a longer time making its way to Big Red because of 5G. Namely, Verizon's mmWave flavor of 5G which it's marketing as 5G UW (or 5G UWB). The S20 models sold by other carriers don't support mmWave, and so Samsung has been busy making a special version of the S20 just for Verizon, with that connectivity baked in. This is finally almost ready to launch. Verizon is calling it the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G UW, and the carrier will... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2XbsaM1 via
