ANYCUBIC Vyper 3D printer review

Introduction While not directly related to what I do here at GSMArena, 3D printing is a huge passion of mine. Having recently done an in-depth review on the CREALITY HALOT-ONE resin 3D printer, I recently got a chance to play with the ANYCUBIC Vyper and can now share what its real life performance is like. I have been doing Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing for over a year and have owned a total of three 3D printers - my current Monoprice Select Mini V2, which is the only one I could reasonably keep with the limited home space I have and before that Prusa i3, which... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://bit.ly/3s6Nlyi

A few events had major impact on our trending chart this week, but above all it was the Redmi Note 11 series' global debut.

Huawei Watch GT Runner in for review

The Huawei Watch GT 3 is one of the best smartwatches on the market, and the company recently announced a new version called Watch GT Runner. The new device has a lot of similarities with the GT 3, but there are also some differences that need testing. The Huawei Watch GT Runner feels quite light, and has a bit sportier design with the cool stripes on the rubber strap. Another major change is the antenna design - it claims improved communication with the L1 and L5 satellites. The looks might be different, but the core functionality is largely unchanged.

Weekly poll: which one of the new Redmi Note 11 models is your favorite?

The new Redmi Note 11 series was unveiled earlier this week and it already went through a limited sale (an early bird deal with $20-30 worth of discounts). Did you get one? Will you get one once the phones become widely available and which one? That’s what we want to know this week. The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G fills a 5G-shaped hole in the Note series. There was a Note 10 5G last year, but that was more of a mid-range offering and not a Pro. Anyway, the Note 11 Pro 5G is mostly identical to its 4G-only sibling with the key difference being the Snapdragon 695 chipset.

OnePlus Nord 2T and Nord 2 CE Indian prices revealed

A couple of days ago, some OnePlus Nord 2T specs leaked in the wild and now we have an expected price range for all of the handset's memory configurations along with a supposed release time frame. The same source tries to guess the rumored Nord 2 CE's price as well. Starting with the Nord 2T, which should replace the current Nord 2, 91mobiles believes that the device will be priced between INR 30,000 and INR 40,000. This range probably covers all configurations. In Euros, it's between €360 and €480. However, we believe that the European prices will be a tad higher due to import taxes. The... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://bit.ly/3s5o5bE

Counterpoint: US smartphone market remains flat in Q4 2021

Counterpoint research published its US market analysis for Q4 last year and for the most part, it has remained steady with a modest 2% growth. Analysts cite supply constraints, delayed launches and in-store restrictions are the main reasons. On the other hand, strong carrier promotions were able to counteract the negative impact of the aforementioned issues. Of course, Apple remained on top of the market with 57% share in the quarter with 17% growth compared to Q3, mainly due to strong iPhone 13 sales. The Pro versions performed particularly well.

Certification reveals Galaxy S22 series will come with 45W charging after all

We've come across multiple reports about the Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup's charging speeds since last year, with some saying the S22 phones will stick to 25W charging, while others claimed the S22 series will mark the return of 45W speed to the Galaxy S flagships.

Weekly poll: are you using 5G on your phone?

The first 5G phones arrived on the market in early 2019, but three years later we’re still in a transitional period – most flagships have 5G, a typical mid-ranger does as well and even some entry level models. However, 4G phones are still being unveiled and there are quite a few countries without active 5G networks. This week’s question is a simple one – do you use 5G on your phone? There are many reasons why you may not have switched yet, ranging from “not available in my country” to “don’t need it”. Often the answer depends on your carrier.
