Internal testing reveals that the Apple Vision Pro is too heavy Apple considers a solution

Sony made the WH-100XM4 out of plastic and they weigh 254g. Apple used premium materials for the AirPods Max and they weigh 385g. Apparently, Cupertino didn’t learn the lesson here and the $3,500 Apple Vision Pro “spatial computer” is on the heavy side. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that after the Vision Pro was unveiled, Apple gave more of its employees access to the headset. Previously, only a select few were read in on the secret and were allowed to try it out. This wider testing pool revealed a problem – some found the headset too heavy after a couple of hours of continuous use.... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://bit.ly/3Py6VkA

TCL NXTWEAR S review

Introduction The TCL NXTWEAR S are marketed as XR glasses. That stands for Extended Reality and is actually an umbrella term that encompasses all VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality) and MR (Mixed Reality) products. Although the NXTWEAR S glasses have an accelerometer, gyroscope and pressure sensor on board, we wouldn't call them smart glasses, since there is no "smart" functionality here. They are not really VR either, since there is no motion tracking and interacting to speak of. AR is also a stretch since there are no cameras or anything else to absorb and monitor the real... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://bit.ly/42ZbRBK

Our Realme 11 Pro vs 11 Pro video comparison is out now

Whenever we review a phone, we conclude by comparing it to its rivals, which are always similar in price.

The two are close in specs - the same display, battery, and chipset - but the Pro+ does offer a tangible advantage with faster charging, and a better all-round camera system.

Oppo Find N3 Flip leaked render shows an extra camera

Samsung is currently getting ready to launch the Galaxy Z Flip5 next month, which will feature a much larger outer screen. The first flip-style foldable with a big cover display was Oppo's Find N2 Flip, which got its international launch earlier this year.

OnePlus 12 details surface to feature new main camera sensor better telephoto

We are likely far from seeing the OnePlus 12 out in the wild as previous rumors indicated that the company is focusing on a proper upgrade rather than a half-baked one for the second half of this year.
