Pixel 11 series, Honor Robot Phone, Redmi 17 official, Week 33 in review

Tech news started picking up a bit, especially in the past week. Google unveiled its Pixel 11 series alongside the Pixel Watch 5. The Pixel 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL, and 11 Pro Fold all pack the new Tensor G6 SoC, which turned out to use a 3nm process after all, not the heavily rumored 2nm. The specs of the Pixel phones are mostly the same as their predecessors - the small Pro has a 6.3-inch display, the Pro XL a 6.8-inch one, but brighter. Camera-wise, the 11 Pro and 11 Pro XL essentially use the same system - 50MP 1/1.3-inch wide angle, 48MP ultrawide (1/2.51-inch vs 1/2.55-inch), 48MP 5x...

Weekly poll results: a surprising number of people are using feature phones

Feature phones are not as dead as you may have thought – one third of voters in last week’s poll use one at least occasionally. Some even use a feature phone full time as their only phone. And others are at least thinking about the idea of ditching their smartphone. As some commenters point out, smartphones are basically a necessity in some countries – you might need one for messaging family and clients, for bank authentication and so on. Even so, some manage to get by with a feature phone as their only handset. That said, a large portion of voters are never going back to feature phones...

iQOO 16 tipped to come with a higher refresh rate screen, new design

iQOO is said to launch the iQOO 16 in September, with the latest rumor from China claiming it will have a higher refresh-rate screen than its predecessor. The word comes from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, who claimed the iQOO 16 will feature a 165Hz refresh rate screen. It will be a 6.85" flat 2K display sourced from Samsung.

Deals: Pixel 11 series goes on pre-order, Galaxy Z8 foldables and S26 models drop prices

Google launched its new Pixel 11 series earlier this week – there is a new vanilla, two new Pro and one new foldable model. All that’s missing now is an affordable a-phone. The massive increase in RAM prices has affected the Pixel series. Google now offers 256GB storage as standard on all 11-series models, which is a good thing, but the Pixel 11 Pro and 11 Pro XL start with 12GB of RAM. If you want 16GB (which is what all Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL phones had), you will have to get a 512GB or a 1TB model. The vanilla phone only comes with 12GB of RAM, while the foldable always gets...
