There's a 5G version of the Moto G Stylus (2021) headed to the US

Motorola unveiled the Moto G Stylus (2021) back in January, with the 4G Snapdragon 678 chipset at the helm.

Today that mystery has finally been solved, months later. It turns out that the leaked device is the 5G-capable variation of the Moto G Stylus (2021), and this one still hasn't been announced. It's headed exclusively to the US soon, according to a new leak that also gives us some additional renders of...

Report: Apple will switch some iPad models to OLED starting in 2022

While the large iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) switched to a mini-LED display, the smaller models may go for OLED. Korean publication ETNews reports that Apple will make the jump with iPads coming out in 2022.

They are currently working on OLED displays for the iPhone 13 (splitting the order 65/30 with BOE taking up a small 5% share). Image quality, weight and design were reportedly the key considerations in the decision to move away from...

Sony Xperia 10 III in for review

Say hello to the freshly-arrived Sony Xperia 10 III. This is Sony's midrange offering and it's one that may look simple to a fault, but is in fact stacked with everything you'd need. Let's unbox it and take it from there. The retail experience is a bit of a letdown for a phone that costs £399/€429 at its pre-order. There's a USB cable, a 7.5W charger that feels straight out of 2008 and nothing else. A case would have been nice. But hey, Sony does bundle a free pair of Sony WH-CH710N noise cancelling headphones with a pre-order. The Sony Xperia 10 III doesn't make a memorable first...

Flashback: even more weird car-branded phones - McLaren, Aston Martin and Hummer

The kooky Siemens SX1 had a McLaren limited edition, but other phone makers have partnered up with the racing brand too. That happened a few years later when carrier Vodafone signed on to be the title sponsor of the McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team (the deal lasted from 2007 to 2013). Since it was the carrier calling the shots, it created a branding that was applied to several existing Samsung and Sharp phones to create limited editions for the 2007 championship. First up is the Samsung Z720 or to give its full name the “Vodafone McLaren Mercedes SGH-Z720M”. A tiny slider with a tiny...

You can get a 5G phone on a budget, but how many people actually want a budget 5G phone? Judging by last week’s poll, there is a good number of people interested in the next-gen network technology, but the Poco M3 Pro is not necessarily their budget 5G phone of choice. Some already snatched one up during the early bird deal that knocked €20 off the price – in this segment, that is a significant discount.
