Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

There is no denying that when it comes to apps, Android has become the go-to for almost all app developers. There are so many excellent apps that are available on the OS, but at the same time, there are so many apps that pose a severe threat to the overall device and user security. Over the past year or so, we have started seeing apps that are really good at committing financial fraud and taking a lot of money away from users. Google appears to be working on a new program that will prevent these frauds from happening in the […]
Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp have been known as the gatekeepers of messaging apps for as long as we can remember. However, the EU is trying to change that--a year ago, I shared a post about how these messaging apps could be forced to interoperate with each other if the law passes, and it appears that we are getting closer to that future as today, we have some idea how these messaging apps are going to work with each other. WhatsApp and other messaging apps are going to work together but this feature is going to take time before it goes […]
Now that Samsung is done with the release of the Galaxy S24 series, the company is now focusing on its more affordable A series devices. The Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A55 are going to go official in a matter of months. For instance, the Galaxy A54 and A34 were released back in March last year, so if Samsung follows the same release schedule for the new phones, we are not really surprised. The Galaxy A55 is going to sport Exynos 1480 and will be the first Samsung mid-ranger to offer AI-related features As far as the Galaxy A55 and the […]
The Xiaomi 14 series is one of the most promising when you are looking at the smartphones available in the market. The phones are currently limited to China, but now, the company's founder and CEO, Lei Jun, has announced the global release date for these phones. And if our speculation is correct, then the phones are going to launch alongside the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which has not made its debut in any market at the moment. The Xiaomi 14 series will give a much-needed push to the international smartphone market So, when is the Xiaomi 14 series going to come […]
Samsung surprised everyone at the Galaxy Unpacked when the company announced the Galaxy Ring. Sadly, at that time, the South Korean tech firm did not reveal much about the smart ring or when it was going to come out. Now, there are more details available about its release date, and it seems like my speculation about the release date was true, as new information reveals that the ring is going to come out during the second half of this year, which puts the potential release date alongside the release of the new Galaxy wearable. Galaxy Ring to go official alongside […]
Nokia has announced that it is signing a multi-year cross-license agreement with Chinese smartphone giant Vivo. The Chinese company has also agreed to pay all the royalties that are due, as well as the catch-up payments for the dispute tenure.

The international markets could finally get access to Vivo phones as it enters a multi-year agreement with Nokia The agreement between Vivo and Nokia involves all the pending patent litigation between both companies and at the […]
The Oppo Find X7 series went official earlier this year, and it has been approximately four weeks since its announcement. The phone has managed to reach a total of 1 million pre-orders. This is an aggregated figure for both phones in the series, and what is even more impressive is that these phones are not available in all the major regions in the world, and despite that, the phone has managed to perform this well. Oppo Find X7 is a smashing hit in the domestic market, with no signs of the phone coming to international markets Billy Zhang, President of […]
The Nothing Phone 2a will be launched sometime this month, and so far, we have heard a lot about the upcoming smartphone from Nothing. Today, we have the official renders of the phone, and there is some bad news as well. The one feature that made Nothing phones stand out is that they are not available on this budget alternative, but the company has stuck to its design DNA and is still offering one of the best and most cohesive designs. The Nothing Phone 2a drops the Glyph Interface lighting system but still keeps the coolest and cleanest design The […]
Samsung is known for a lot of things, but marketing its smartphones and products is one thing that it does not do the way it should. Today, we found out that the Galaxy S24 series uses a newer and faster fingerprint sensor under the display. This should have been evident by the fact that in all the review videos we have seen, the one thing that was notable in all of those was how fast the fingerprint reader has become. Still, Samsung decided against marketing or talking about it during the Galaxy Unpacked--just like the company did not talk much […]

When it comes to smartphones or technology, in general, you often meet two types of people: ones who change their phones and devices every year and people who prefer sticking with the same for years to come. The latter often find themselves in trouble, especially after their devices lose their warranty. Well, EU is working on changing that, and your future Apple and Android devices could get 12 months of additional repair guarantee, which will make it super-easy for people who want to be sure that their devices are staying with them for longer without running into any major issues.

Asus surprised us all when the company came out with the Asus ROG Phone 8--this was the first time a gaming phone that did not look like a gaming phone and had all the modern look and feel that we normally see in flagship phones. Now, some new information has surfaced regarding the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra, and based on the leaked renders, it looks like Asus has borrowed all the design elements from the ROG Phone 8 and made it a bit classier because the phone looks almost identical. The Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra is the ROG Phone 8 […]
