Review: Oppo Find X5 Lite Smartphone

84% Oppo Find X5 Lite review: Mid-range smartphone in optical disguise

Somewhat misses its mark. Like the Oppo Find X5 Pro, the Find X5 Lite also aims to court the favor of price-conscious buyers with a fast OLED display, artificial intelligence and rapid charging times. In some respects, however, the Oppo phone lags behind the competition in this price range.

OPPO Find N2 and its clamshell counterpart are tipped to go ahead at the expense of the OEM's rollable device project

OPPO released its first foldable smartphone in 2021, and is now projected to add a second generation of the same device, as well as a first-gen clamshell alternative, in 2022. A famous leaker has now mentioned what might be a product name of the former for the first time, and also offers an update on the OEM's 'X' rollable prototype since its unveiling some time ago.

Nothing phone (1): a launch date and European pricing for the first-gen Android device allegedly leaks out

Carl Pei's Nothing has remained vague on the subject of a debut for its inaugural Android smartphone. However, a German tech blog now purports to fill the blanks the OEM has left with a specific date on which the device is to be unveiled.

iOS 16 will enable always-on display but only on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max

The upcoming iOS 16 update will finally enable always-on display (AOD) functionality, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. However, the AOD feature will only make it to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max as they are touted to sport LTPO displays that can potentially refresh as low as once per minute similar to the newer Apple Watch models.

Review: Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 Gen. 1)

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra comparison: Snapdragon 8 Gen. 1 vs. Exynos 2200 - is Europe being cheated?

Does the SoC in the Galaxy smartphone make a difference? Many prospective buyers of a Galaxy S22 Ultra would have certainly preferred a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen. 1 in Europe as well. Especially because the Xclipse 920 GPU was somewhat disappointing in our review. Is the Galaxy S22 Ultra with an Exynos SoC worth buying at all? We clarify this in the following comparison review.

Fortunately, a leaker has now extracted some quite interesting display specs from the source code of two new drivers.

Samsung may need to reduce new smartphone production by 30 million units in 2022

Samsung had reportedly planned to have as much as 310 million smartphones made in 2022.

Dell XPS 15 9520 is 15 to 35 percent faster than XPS 15 9510, lacks Wi-Fi 6E support despite coming with an Intel AX211

Dell XPS 15 9520 is 15 to 35 percent faster than XPS 15 9510, lacks Wi-Fi 6E support despite coming with an Intel AX211

Dell has swapped the 11th gen Intel CPUs for 12th gen options and the Wi-Fi 6 Killer 1650s WLAN for the Wi-Fi 6E-compatible intel AX211. Though the CPU upgrade is notable, the WLAN update is largely pointless as Wi-Fi 6E is effectively disabled on the model.

An official 14 Pro ad? (Source: Apple Archive Thai via YouTube)

Update | iPhone 14 Pro: A significant display upgrade is showcased in a new, possibly Apple-fresh, leak

A new Apple Pay ad featuring the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro may have been released in advance. The clips in question make heavy and unambiguous use of the flagship's allegedly updated, punch-holed front panel in animated form. Therefore, this potentially crucial difference between it and the conventionally-notched vanilla 14 may just have been confirmed - had it turned out to be genuine, that is.

Its price has yet to be revealed, although it is of course unlikely to come cheap.

AMD's Robert Hallock clarifies some burning questions regarding the Ryzen 7000 desktop processors

Hallock explains that the flagship Ryzen 7000 processors will have a maximum TDP of 170 W, and the 16 cores will easily hit 5.5 GHz. RAM should also see considerable overclocking headroom, while expected performance uplift over Zen 3 is expected to be around 40%. Some AVX 512 AI instruction sets are also supported and the RDNA2 iGPU is clearly not on the same level as the Radeon 680M from the Rembrandt APUs.
