Apple is well-known for baking replacement part-detection measures into iOS, resulting in error messages and broken functions should a user dare to do something like replace their own iPhone's display. The new 14 Pro flagship has shown itself to be just as repair-unfriendly as the 13 Pro in the latest video from a prominent device-repair YouTuber - however, a comparable video may prove that these issues have gone away in the vanilla 14.

The iPhone 14 has been revealed to have a rear glass back panel that may have much more ease of removal compared to its predecessor. This discovery has moved a device-teardown YouTuber to check if this means the cover might come flying off if a unit is dropped onto concrete. Fortunately, doing so from various heights resulted in potentially encouraging news for those interested in this new vanilla Apple flagship.

At first glance, the Camon 19 Pro Mondrian Edition gives the impression that Tecno has made a white smartphone finished with stark black lines that form an artful pattern of squares on its back. However, the OEM asserts that exposing this rear panel to light turns its colors up in a way that lives up to its new name. The new 19 Pro special edition will become available via Amazon.in soon.

Honor has just unleashed a competitor into the budget 5G Android smartphone market with the X40; now, OPPO has sent the latest addition to its 2022 K10 series to challenge it. The two devices start at the same price with similar battery capacities and display refresh rates; however, one's advantages might outweigh those of the other for some consumers.

Sony's Xperia 10 IV belongs to a rare breed of smartphones: At just 6 inches, the mid-range device is quite small by today's standards. In particular, the AMOLED Android smartphone shines in terms of battery life.

Honor has just debuted the MagicBook V 14 2022 laptop in accordance with its Autumn Product Event teasers directed at its native Chinese market. However, it has landed alongside much less expected new MagicBook X-series PCs. They pack the same Alder Lake platforms that drives a 2.2K display in the new 14 2022 model.

OPPO is projected to launch a Find X6 as well as an X6 Pro as flagships for its 2023 Android smartphone line-up that may or may not also act as templates of a sort for the OnePlus 11 and 11 Pro. Now, various Weibo leaks purport to spill display resolution specs for both of these variants, not to mention the silicon that will drive these potentially upgraded panels.

The new 2022 MateBook X Pro impresses with a high-quality chassis, plenty of performance as well as an excellent 3:2 aspect ratio IPS screen. Huawei unnecessarily restricts the access to the components though, which prevents an even better rating.

Motorola has revealed that its world-first 200MP main camera flagship Android smartphone will sell in Europe as the Edge 30 Ultra; now, the OEM has confirmed that this global model is on its way to India as well. It will arrive along with its "elegant" sibling the 30 Fusion onto Flipkart in late September 2022.

The Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 is Qualcomm's latest 6nm processor for next-gen budget 5G smartphones. Now, iQOO has announced that it will unleash the inaugural example of these mobile devices without further ado. It is backed to deliver many of its new SoC's potential advantages in a package with some high-end finishing touches.

Apple has presented its inaugural Watch Ultra as a device made so well of such high-end materials that it can stand up to any amount of demanding, practically pro-athlete or explorer use. Nevertheless, it now has an official schedule of repair costs on its website, which show that its restoration can cost a pretty penny - unless you get an AppleCare+ plan for it, of course.

The latest Flip-series Samsung foldable smartphone has now followed its predecessor into a JerryRigEverything durability test. The new premium device seemed to match its forebear in terms of robustness for most of this new video - however, it gave what might be some cause for concern toward the end.

The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max apparently already show signs of outstripping their vanilla counterparts in terms of pre-order volumes. According to the widely-regarded analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the higher-end new models from Apple have captured the vast majority of offline reservations in the Chinese market thus far, leaving the other 2 variants - the 14 Plus in particular - in the dust.

The X-H2 is a new mirrorless APS-C camera that upgrades to the latest Fujifilm sensor and processor available to it, giving it the highest resolution and possibly the greatest performance of its line to date. It also packs the OEM's latest sensor-shift technology and in-body image stabilization (IBIS) for "robust" 8K/30fps recording with the option of internal Pro-Res - although it does also boast a full-sized HDMI port.

Nintendo has announced that the latest Special Edition Switch OLED is dedicated to the latest installments of Pokémon. The console is identical to a standard SKU in terms of specs, but will ship with a dock exclusively decorated with Legendary-tier artwork, as well as appropriately Scarlet and Violet new JoyCons. This bundle and its price are official from now, although its release has been delayed.

Honor has finally confirmed that it intends to complete its new X40 series of Android smartphones in mid-September 2022. Its main (or possibly vanilla) variant has also been revealed as the first OLED display device of its line. Meanwhile, additional leaks have revealed that its design is a striking variation on that of its X30 predecessors.

The Mate 50 E has the same Harmony OS 3 UI and basic design of the rest of its new premium smartphone series. It also has the same main rear camera and display as the vanilla 50, although the E variant has a premium mid-range Qualcomm SoC rather than a flagship-grade processor.

The Mate 50 RS has premiered as the highest-end of its new smartphone series. Its appearance has been altered in partnership with the Porsche Design Studio, although it has the same display as the 50 Pro. Despite its 4G/LTE-only nature, its single SKU has debuted at a price staggeringly close to US$2,000.

The latest MateBook E variant from Huawei is a Go today (September 6, 2022). The convertible has a 12.35-inch display with 120Hz SKUs and a 2.5K display compatible with the OEM's latest stylus. It runs Windows 11 using the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 processor and, as such, starts much cheaper than its flagship sibling in China.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S shows that you don't have to spend a lot of money for a smartphone that is suitable for everyday tasks and well-equipped. For 200 Euros (~$199), you also get an AMOLED screen with 90 Hz, 108-MP camera, and 5000-mAh battery that can be fully recharged in less than an hour using the included 33-Watt charger.

Rumors of a first-gen "Apple Watch Pro" have emerged again in what might be the device's last leaks ahead of its imminent debut. They purport to outline the differences between this allegedly inaugural variant and the more predictable vanilla Series 8. The new tips also hint that the Pro might get even bigger than previously thought.

The latest PureBook Fold and Lite models represent Nokia's budget solutions with Intel Pentium Silver N6000 processors. Both models feature mostly the same specs with 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 128 GB SSD and 14.1-inch display, yet the Fold also gets a touchscreen and a 2-in-1 design.

Notebooks with the new Ryzen 7 6800U are still rare, but the Lenovo Yoga 7 14 once again confirms that AMD's current mobile processors are better compared to Intel in terms of CPU and iGPU performance as well as efficiency. The convertible is also really good in other regards except for the sound system.

JBL touts its latest Tour-series wireless earbuds as the world's first to come with their own touchscreen. The case-mounted LED panel is capable of displaying music controls as well as those for the PRO 2's advanced active noise-cancelling (ANC) functions. The case is also rated for up to 30 hours of additional play-time, while the earbuds pack "true adaptive" "immersive" JBL Spatial Sound.

The Vivo X80 Pro is one of the best Android smartphones this year. However, it displays weaknesses in the very area where it attempts to assert itself as a pioneer. Read on to find out why we still recommend buying the smartphone.

Samsung has now made the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro official as the latest addition to its "extreme" (and extremely business-like) line of slates. It has launched with an upgrade to sub-6GHz 5G connectivity and Wi-Fi 6E, and even supports "private 4G/LTE" bands on top of that. Its 10-inch display runs off a battery that is user-replaceable and supports fast-charging via a POGO-pin interface.

Huawei has announced that a new tablet PC called the MateBook E Go will debut imminently, alongside the Mate 50 series of flagship smartphones. The device will ostensibly ship with Windows 11 and has been revealed to support a keyboard dock thus far. It also has at least 1 USB type-C port and has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

One might be forgiven for thinking that the rumored, inaugural 6.7-inch display variant of the vanilla iPhone 14 would be called the Max, so as to mirror the corresponding 14 Pro series. However, according to new case renders that may have been posted accidentally in advance and spotted by an eagle-eyed Twitter leaker, Apple has chosen to go another way with its alleged first-gen big-screen SKU.

Asus has confirmed that the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate will launch later in September 2022. The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 Plus-powered flagship Android smartphone is tipped to debut alongside an additional vanilla 6D variant on that date. The new leak also purports to reveal how both devices will look on their unveiling.

DIZO has announced that its next smartwatches will launch as its Watch D Talk and Watch R Talk. They will be square- and round-faced respectively, and will both have the up-to-date spec of support for calls over Bluetooth. One will have an AMOLED display, whereas the other will have a larger-than-average screen for its class.

The P50 Pocket is Huawei's inaugural clamshell foldable smartphone that launched in early 2022. Now, it seems the OEM may launch an updated model without delay. It seems to have a larger secondary display and battery capacity than that of the Pocket, albeit with less of an eye-catching finish and an unchanged design otherwise.

Huawei has scheduled the launch of its Mate 50 series of mobile devices just ahead of that for Apple's iPhone 14 line in 2022. Despite this, the OEM has already opened reservations for the smartphones via an official website. It claims to have amassed well over a million of these expressions of interest in the 4G/LTE-only hardware so far.

Rumors of a first-gen "Apple Watch Pro" to be released alongside more conventional Series 8 variants have intensified to such a degree that the new model is now expected to launch alongside the iPhone 14 series in early September. Now, the Cupertino giant is thought to unveil a whole new range of bands alongside the new kind of wearable, as it will not fit those of, say, the Series 7, as usual.

Samsung has unveiled a new UI based on Android 12L for the Galaxy Tab S8, S8 Ultra and S8 Plus. Therefore, the flagship tablets will have access to many of the same new features found on the new Galaxy Z Fold4 premium foldable device, its Taskbar included. The new firmware also contains an up-to-date security patch.

The Motorola Edge 30 Neo is thought to launch soon as a potentially affordable Android smartphone with a 120Hz P-OLED display. Now, the device's latest leak purports to offer a glimpse of this screen for the first time. It is depicted as having a punch-hole selfie camera and a high-end look to its edges.

Xiaomi has released a second-gen Mix Fold with its most advanced flexible display to date. However, its owners may be advised to look after it, as all that 120Hz Samsung AMOLED may make it very expensive to fix. Replacing its main screen may cost about half as much as the flagship smartphone itself.

Zepp Health is the fitness-tech ODM responsible for the popular Amazfit brand, and that also makes fitness trackers for Xiaomi. The company has reported that its second-quarter 2022 (2Q2022) revenues increased by 46.4% compared to 1Q2022 - however, they also shrank by 39.6% compared to 2Q2021. This decline was linked to a disruption in its normal product cycle due to the chip shortage, as well as prevailing socio-political upheaval.

Despite its Surface-Like appearance, the new HP Dragonfly Folio G3 does not come with a detachable keyboard. However, this convertible offers premium features such as powerful Intel Alder Lake vPro processors, 2x Thunderbolt 4 connectors, an 8 MP webcam and a 3000 x 2000 OLED display option.
