Our view on Xiaomi’s devices has been a bit of a rollercoaster in recent years, from the super affordable Mi 9T Pro back in 2020 (yay), to the ultimately confused Mi 11 Ultra in 2021 (not so yay). For 2022 the Chinese phone-maker has dropped its Mi naming convention, pared back its design ethos, and pretty much started anew. Indeed, that’s what the Xiaomi 12 feels like: a fresh start. This flagship handset focuses on the core pillars of design, powerful hardware and capable cameras – without the gimmicks of some competitors – all wrapped into a package that sits well under a four-figure asking price. So is the Xiaomi … Meer lezen

In a community post detailing the OnePlus 10 Pro‘s performance specifications and hardware, the manufacturer has reiterated that its flagship phone for 2022 has 80W SuperVOOC charging. With the 80W charging, the OnePlus 10 Pro can fill from 1-100 per cent in just 32 minutes. That is, unless you’re in North America. In the same community announcement, OnePlus states that if you’re getting a North American territory device you’ll only get 65W SuperVOOC. That’s the same power and speed as the last couple of OnePlus flagship generations. Although it doesn’t explicitly say why in the actual announcement, the company’s representatives did reply to a question in the comments explaining why … Meer lezen

Apple introduced the third generation iPhone SE in March 2022, two years after the second generation model came out. The entry-level iPhone differentiates itself from the newer models by continuing to opt for the Touch ID home button and the design that comes with that, rather than move to Face ID and a full screen experience. Are updated internals enough though? The iPhone SE (third generation) offers a lot of power for its price, but that power comes with a couple of compromises. Is it still worth your consideration? We moved out of the iPhone 13 mini and into the iPhone SE (2022) to give you our verdict. Apple iPhone … Meer lezen

Once upon a time Apple made a range of branded monitors designed specifically for the Mac, be it the Mac mini or to plug into your MacBook and expand your desktop. Over the years, that offering eventually dwindled, being discontinued in 2016 – only to be restarted in 2019 with the release of the Pro Display XDR. But with lofty goals and an even loftier price tag – it costs £4599/$4999/€5499 – that’s been out of reach for most Mac users. Now, alongside the launch of the Mac Studio, Apple has released a more approachable offering with the Studio Display. But should you consider it given the wide array of … Meer lezen

The Galaxy A series sees the most voluminous sales for Samsung, with this model, the Galaxy A53 5G, likely to be one of the most important handsets that Samsung will offer in 2022. That’s not because it’s the best – that’s saved for the Galaxy S22 Ultra – or because it’s the most groundbreaking – that’s the Galaxy Z Fold 3 – but because it will define the Samsung mobile experience for the greatest number of people. So this is a mid-range device to be excited about? Design and build 159.9 x 74.7 x 8.1mm, 189g Gorilla Glass 5 and punch hole IP67 protection To look that there isn’t a … Meer lezen

Het gebruik van een GPS-golfhorloge op de baan is de afgelopen tien jaar misschien vrij gewoon geworden, maar het komt niet vaak voor dat deze speciale apparaten goed vertalen naar dagelijks gebruik. Ofwel is de look niet op zijn plaats in niet-golfomstandigheden, of de functieset is te beperkt om een ​​fulltime plek om je pols te rechtvaardigen. Garmin's Approach S62 is echter bedoeld om een ​​meer afgeronde ervaring te bieden, terwijl het ook premium trackingfuncties biedt voor golfers van alle niveaus. Maar slaagt het erin om de lijnen overtuigend te vervagen, of ben je beter gediend door je golftechnologie gescheiden te houden van je dagelijkse leven? Design en weergave Display: 1.3-inch kleuren … Meer lezen

Apple has filed a number of patents that suggest the company is looking at next-generation Force Touch technology which might appear in future models of the Apple Watch, AirPods or iPhone. The patents filed to the US Patent & Trademark Office were discovered by PatentlyApple (via 9to5Mac) and they refer to force-pressure sensors and their various uses in different Apple devices. One of the patents discusses the use of force sensors in “small form factor devices”, which would presumably refer to products like the Apple Watch and AirPods. The patent shows an Apple Watch with a pressure-sensitive side button, which could allow for more features on a future model like … Meer lezen
