Samsung Galaxy S24+ in for review

We finally managed to get our hands on the new Galaxy S24+ and have brought it straight in for review. Samsung packages just a USB-C cable with its Galaxy phones but some retailers will offer Samsung's new, rather tiny 25W adapter. Not everyone offers this deal, but Samsung does give you a free upgrade from 256GB to 512GB during the pre-order period, as well as trade-in bonuses and discounts on Samsung services. Unboxing the Galaxy S24+ The Galaxy S24+ feels like a completely new device - something we couldn't have imagined saying a few weeks ago. For one, it's fully matte on...

Netflix co-CEO says it's not worth launching an app for the Apple Vision Pro yet

Pre-orders for the Apple Vision Pro started off last week and a few days ago analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that Apple has sold between 160,000 and 180,000 units. However, the proud new owners of Apple’s spatial computer won’t be using them to watch Netflix. Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters was interviewed by Stratechery and was there is no Netflix app on the Vision Pro. Long story short, it’s not worth it – there aren’t enough potential subscribers that own the headset relative to the amount of effort it would take to port the streaming app to the platform. That is not to say that there will...

Google Pixel 9 leaks in renders showing three rear cameras, flat sides

Mere hours ago some CAD-based renders of the upcoming Google Pixel 9 Pro were outed, and now it's time for its smaller and more affordable sibling to get the exact same treatment. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Google Pixel 9. Right off the bat, one thing clearly stands out. Unlike the Pixel 8, the Pixel 9 has three cameras on the rear, one of which obviously has a periscope zoom lens. This is a huge update for the 'vanilla' Pixel line, and one that brings it much more in tune with the Pro, spec-wise. Moving on, the other obvious thing is that Google has also been infested by the...

Here's the official list of Motorola smartphones getting Android 14

Some companies, like Samsung, have almost finished their rollouts of Android 14 for dozens of devices already. Others, not so much. Today we're talking about Motorola. The brand has published information about which devices it will update to the latest version of the OS across its website. It's not an easily accessible list, mind you - you have to search for a particular device and only then, on each device's page, will you get any indication of whether you should expect Android 14 to come your way. Thankfully, the folks over at YTECHB have gone through all of the devices and...

Samsung Galaxy S24 pre-orders start in the US, Galaxy A25 and A15 5G too

This week’s Unpacked event brought Samsung’s latest flagships – the Galaxy S24 trio. You can check out our hands-on review for an introduction to the new features and hardware upgrades. And if you’re curious what all those AI features are all about, watch these videos. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a rethink on how the long telephoto lens should work – instead of a fixed 10x lens, Samsung went for 5x magnification and a high resolution 50MP sensor that offers high quality zoom between 5x and 10x.

Samsung Galaxy A15 in for review

This is the new Samsung Galaxy A15 - the LTE variant, mind you, not the 5G-enabled one, and it steps in to replace the Galaxy A14. The Galaxy A15 brings a 90Hz Super AMOLED display - a big step up from the 60Hz PLS LCD on the 4G Galaxy A14. The other key change is the move to a much more efficient 6nm MediaTek Helio G99 with as much as 8GB of RAM. Samsung kept the camera system mostly intact, ditto the 5,000mAh battery, but you do get faster charging at 25W. The Galaxy A15 ships with a USB cable. We have the Blue Black model - it's a dark blue as you'd guess, and it mostly...

Apple's 12.9-inch iPad Air appears in schematics, revealing design

After skipping the iPad Air upgrade last year, Apple is seemingly gearing up to launch a larger 12.9-inch iPad Air to match size of the current biggest iPad Pro.

The images show a familiar overall design language but the rear camera along with the LED flash are reminiscent of a distant iPhone X/XS design. Unfortunately, aside from the...

Samsung Galaxy AI is coming to these older devices

Yesterday, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra - all three models bursting at the seams with AI. Galaxy AI, in fact. They will be running Android 14 of course, with One UI 6.1 on top - unlike any other Samsung device so far (they're all on One UI 6 tops). So, if you have an older Samsung, you may be wondering whether your device will at some point get some of those AI features. Good news: the answer is yes. "Many" of them, according to Samsung itself. The models that will, at least initially, get these AI features, are the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+,...
