Deals: Pixel 8a paired with $100 gift card, but Galaxy A35, S23 FE and OnePlus 12R prices fall

So, the Google Pixel 8a costs $500, huh? Looking at the poll from last week, most people think that this is too expensive for a mid-ranger. And indeed it is, considering that the flagship Pixel 8 has been quite close to this price many times in the past. But not now, though. The Pixel 9 series is still a few months out, but the Pixel 8 is rather pricey right now and some colorways are almost out of stock. And the 8a is getting some deals. For example, Amazon is offering a $100 gift card with the purchase of a Google Pixel 8a. This can be spend on a case, a charger, headphones or...

Poco F6 Pro unboxing video spotted online prior to the announcement

Poco is planning to unveil The Poco F6 and F6 Pro at an event on May 23. We already know quite a bit about the design and specs of both phones. Still, it doesn't hurt to get some affirmation, and this time, it comes in the form of an unboxing video of the F6 Pro spotted on Dailymotion. The video doesn't seem official in any way and is even a bit shaky, hinting at its amateur nature. However, it all but confirms the earlier assumptions that the Poco F6 Pro is just a rebranded Redmi K70 for international markets. The two phones look the same and seem to share their core specs. In...

New 13-inch iPad Pro gets disassembled on video

Yesterday the new 13-inch iPad Pro got put through a grueling durability test involving scratches, burns, and bends, and today we have the next logical step - a teardown video. This time it's provided by the Phone Repair Guru YouTube channel, and if you've always wondered what's inside the thinnest device (not just the thinnest tablet) Apple's ever made, well, look no further. This tablet is barely thicker than its USB-C port, which is a feat of engineering in itself - though let's not forget the port may be to blame for the iPad's 'performance' in the aforementioned bend test. Then...

iPhone 17 Slim to be more expensive than the iPhone 17 Pro Max

We've already heard that Apple is revamping its iPhone lineup next year, retiring the Plus model and launching a Slim one instead. But so far we thought the iPhone 17 Slim would be similarly positioned to the Plus, only thinner. According to a new report today, that won't be the case. Instead, the iPhone 17 Slim will be the most premium of the bunch, and thus more expensive than even the iPhone 17 Pro Max, believe it or not. Apple seems to love thinness these days, having recently released the thinnest device it's ever made in the 13" iPad Pro, and is now apparently looking to trim...

Motorola Razr 50 / Razr 2024 specs leak

Motorola launched the Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra last June, and their successors are now very much on the way. We've already seen leaks detailing the Razr 50 Ultra's specs and pricing, and today it's time to turn out attention to the non-Ultra Razr 50 - which, we should add, is likely to launch in some places like North America as the Razr 2024. This will allegedly come with a 6.9-inch pOLED folding screen with 1080x2640 resolution, and a 3.63-inch cover display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. That will definitely be the most obvious upgrade compared to its successor's 1.5-inch cover...

TikTok wants to be YouTube now, tests 60-minute video uploads

TikTok is currently testing 60-minute video uploads, in its never ending quest to be more like YouTube. The feature is currently available to a limited group of users in "select markets", the company told TechCrunch. There are currently no immediate plans to make this available more widely, but the idea is clear here - with longer-form content, TikTok can attract some YouTube viewers on top of its usual audience who's looking for short-form videos to scroll through. At launch, TikTok had a 15-minute upload limit (much like YouTube used to back in the day), but this has steadily...
