Nothing Phone (2) screen size confirmed, will get 3 years of Android updates

A few weeks ago, Nothing founder Carl Pei confirmed that the Phone (2) - arriving in July - will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. And more recently, Pei said the Nothing Phone (2) would pack a 4,700 mAh battery, which is 200 mAh larger than the Phone (1)'s cell. Now the company has revealed the Phone (2)'s screen size. The Nothing Phone (2)'s screen will be 0.15" bigger than Phone (1)'s display, measuring 6.7" diagonally.

The LG StanbyME Go puts a screen and some speakers inside a briefcase

LG Korea has announced the LG StanbyME Go 27LX5, a portable display that's built inside a travelling case. This somewhat bizarre product features a 27-inch 1080p touchscreen display along with speakers and battery inside what clearly looks like a briefcase. The display can be tilted up to 90 degrees, rotated clockwise to 90 degrees, and adjusted in height within an 18-centimeter range.

Our Google Pixel 7a video review is up

The annual mid-range Google Pixel phone is arguably one of the most anticipated budget smartphones on the market and this year's Pixel 7a comes really close to the vanilla Pixel 7 in terms of features. However, beneath the surface, the Pixel 7a is just as capable. The handset sports Tensor G2 SoC, just like the Pixel 7, offers an excellent camera experience, and offers the same battery capacity as its more expensive sibling, while being slightly more compact. In any case, the device packs a serious punch and can challenge significantly more expensive handsets in some aspects, so... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://bit.ly/45BA8k7

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra bill of materials estimated at $469

The Bill of Materials (BoM) for the base Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is just $469, according to Counterpoint’s latest research. This is for a unit with 8GB of RAM, 256GB storage and sub-6GHz 5G. The BoM for the 2022 model is unknown, but an S21 Ultra (Snapdragon 888, 128GB, mmWave) was $533 and before that the Galaxy Note20 Ultra (Snapdragon 865+, 128GB, mmWave) was $550. Qualcomm’s share of the BoM is at “an all-time high”, sitting at 34% – one percentage point higher than Samsung. A lot of that is the chipset, of course, plus the various components for wireless connectivity, but Qualcomm... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://bit.ly/43yp2ub

Motorola Razr 40 Ultra ads appear on billboards in Europe

Motorola is officially unveiling the Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra foldables at an event on June 1, but some of its subsidiaries simply couldn't wait any longer, it seems, and decided to already put up a bunch of ads on billboards in the wild. Case in point - Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria, in the European Union. There are already ads for the Razr 40 Ultra on the streets of Sofia, even though we're still a couple of days removed from the big launch event.

Motorola announced its third generation Moto G Stylus 5G and it’s one of the first devices to launch with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra's EU price revealed by retailer listings

A few European retailers are here to seemingly dispel the report that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will cost €1,499 in Europe. Dutch retailer Belsimpel and its German counterpart Gomibo have the Xiaomi 13 Ultra listed at €1,299 in the Netherlands, €1,277 in Germany, and €1,320 in Ireland. All the listings have this as the EU model and show the phone as shipping within 5 to 7 business days.

Google developed a second foldable alongside the Pixel Fold but canceled it

If you heard rumors that Google was working on not one but two foldable smartphones in the past few months (and years), it turns out those mumblings were actually true, despite the fact that the company only eventually announced one of them, namely the Pixel Fold. Apparently there was a second foldable smartphone created by the same team that was in charge of the Pixel Fold. This other device apparently "wasn't good enough" which is why it was eventually canceled and never made it to market.

vivo Y78 goes global with a curved 6.78" 120Hz display and Snapdragon 695

vivo Singapore has quietly revealed the global version of the Y78 – we say “global” because it differs quite a bit from the Y78 that launched in China earlier this month. This one is bigger and with a different chipset, making it more similar to the Y78+ from April, though not quite identical either. vivo Y78 (global) The global vivo Y78 is equipped with a roomy 6.78” display – a 120Hz AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution (20:9) and an under display fingerprint reader.

vivo S17 appears with Snapdragon 778G+ SoC, S17 Pro will have 50 MP selfie camera

The vivo S17 series will be officially unveiled on May 31, and we expect the vanilla vivo S17 and vivo S17 Pro to make an appearance.

Introduction The Formovie P1 aims to be one of those good things that come in small packages. Formovie has managed to fit a powerful projector in a very small body, measuring 150.8 x 83 x 24.6mm and weighing in at just 300 grams. The P1 is a truly portable device that still packs a laser light source capable of an advertised brightness of 800 lumens.

Weekly poll: are the Sony Xperia 1 V and Xperia 10 V on your shopping list?

As we’ve said before, Sony marches to the beat of its own drummer – while other brands rushed out Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones as soon as the chip was available, Sony just announced its first. Say “hello” to the Sony Xperia 1 V. Well, you’ll have to wait until the end of July until you can actually greet the Mark 5 flagship. With patience and €1,400/£1,300 in your wallet you too could own this prosumer camera phone. It’s not quite the Xperia Pro-I, but it’s not a run of the mill flagship either.

Weekly poll results: the Poco F5 gets showered with love, the F5 Pro proves less popular

As one commenter in last week’s poll says, the point of the Poco F-series is to deliver flagship performance at mid-range prices. Both the F5 models do that and while it’s not quite a 2023-level flagship performance, it comes really close. Of the pair, the vanilla Poco F5 is the breakout star – over half of the voters showed interest, it’s rare to see such a positive reaction. It beat its Pro sibling by a large margin, which is quite evident in the Pro’s own poll. The criticism of the F5 – it applies to the F5 Pro too – was predictable.
