Samsung has now launched its latest Galaxy Tab S8-series slates in India, its new and extra-large Ultra variant included. They have debuted in a limited range of RAM and storage options in their new market. On the other hand, pre-order customers might get freebies that include first-party keyboard covers thrown in with their purchases.

OPPO has been linked to the launch of its first ever tablet for some time. Now, the OEM has finally acknowledged the existence of this device, as well as its long-rumored name. The company has also revealed that it has developed a stylus to go with its inaugural slate, now set to debut as part of a major early 2022 product event.

The 12 Pro is Xiaomi's 2022 flagship smartphone and not only comes with the latest Snapdragon SoC, but also a highly modern display, long battery life and a triple camera worthy of the name. But is an import model worth it?

AV1 is an emerging video codec increasingly adopted by companies in the content-streaming and entertainment space. They range from Samsung to Broadcom - but not Qualcomm, an OEM that has failed to support this form of decoding even in its top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Now, the company is touted to fix this - in the processor's successor.

The ExpertBook offers a 5G modem, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 14-inch touchscreen display (1920x1200 pixels) with a 16:10 aspect ratio. You can operate the screen through touch input as well as with the included Asus Pen.

Samsung has debuted Gorilla Glass Victus Plus in its flagship Galaxy S22 line, asserting that this latest form of Corning protection for smartphones offers extra durability over its predecessor. However, a new YouTube post might cast some doubt on those claims, and may establish that a case and screen protector are advisable purchases for those who have pre-ordered the series' top-end Ultra variant.

A new leak asserts that Motorola will update the Moto G series of smartphones with an affordable new variant soon. Should this rumor prove accurate, it may indicate what the OEM will offer for just over US$200 in 2022. This price might get you a 90Hz display, a 5,000mAh battery, a new 4G/LTE MediaTek processor - and even a microSD card slot.

Nubia's high-octane Android phone brand RedMagic has just unleashed its latest 7 and 7 Pro flagships on the world. The 7 Pro in particular is rated for a number of industry-leading upgrades, a world-first under-display camera (UDC) panel in a gaming phone included. However, with its 165Hz screen, the 7 does not lag that far behind.

Realme's second-gen GT series is rated to pack specs that include the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in its top-end Pro variant. The OEM has now revealed that they are coming to the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2022, in order to launch worldwide as part of their maker's showcase for this event.

The Realme 9i has launched as the base model of its series in India (to date, at least). It has a new, 6nm 4G/LTE processor and faster charging compared to its predecessor. Then again, some consumers might find it a downgrade compared to the 8i, particularly in terms of its display.

Realme has officially augmented its 9 series of smartphones with a new kind of top-end variant, the 9 Pro Plus. Despite this name, the 9 Pro has the larger display and battery, not to mention the higher refresh rate, of the two. However, its new sibling may make up for that with the only AMOLED panel of the pair - not to mention a newer and potentially improved main camera.

The RedMagic 7 smartphones have now been confirmed as the first of their flagship series to come with a dedicated co-processor. This "Red Core 1" has been developed to boost a number of gaming-focused specs and features on the devices, their haptic feedback, audio and touch-sampling rate included.

Nokia has made the rumored successor to the budget G20 official, and has ushered a new G11 in alongside it. The new smartphones are equipped with large batteries for markedly long run-times - which may be handy as the 2 new phones offer a series-first 90Hz refresh rate. The two new phones have been released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland today (February 14, 2022).

Samsung has launched the Galaxy S22 series with claims of enhanced robustness thanks to their updated premium design. Now, a YouTuber has tested these claims out on its flagship, the S22 Ultra. Can the new phablet's new Gorilla Glass Victus+ and upgraded frame stand up to challenges that culminate in a vehicular onslaught?

Love it or hate it, Apple has turned its MacBook line into a tech icon. In 2021, the tech giant launched an all-new line-up of MacBooks with the impressively powerful M1 series of processors. But what if you're not a fan of MacOS or you don't like Apple's stance on right to repair? Let's have a look at some alternatives.

iQOO has now confirmed that its top-end smartphones of 2022 are coming to India via Amazon.in soon. Furthermore, they are slated to bring their 120W charging technology with them this time. Meanwhile, a well-known smartphone teardown channel has put one of them, the vanilla 9, through a test of its integrity and repairability.

The freshly-launched Galaxy Tab S8 series has proven so popular that two-thirds of its variants have "sold out" on Samsung.com in the US. Well, not exactly: the OEM has announced that it is "pausing" their pre-order event while it deals with the demand for the tablets, which of course includes their new, top-end 14.6-inch SKU.

Yes, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G is late compared to its predecessors. But this isn't really a bad thing, and it still makes it a strong alternative, especially in Germany, even compared to the Galaxy S22.

Nubia's high-octane gaming brand RedMagic has made its launch for its 2022 generation of top-end smartphones official. It has also now teased what will probably be the top-end variant of this upcoming 7 line. It is slated to combine a "Transparent" finish with an under-display camera. Then again, there may be less encouraging news for fans of gaming-phone specs.

Realme has announced that it will introduce a new C-series smartphone to its audience in Thailand soon. It has already been teased as a device with looks quite like those of its current flagships, and even has a main camera of a resolution that might be found in one, not to mention a markedly large battery. However, based on the SoC for which the C35 is destined, it is not likely to cost all that much.

All three new Galaxy S22 variants have just launched with displays made of first-party Dynamic AMOLED 2X, have 120Hz refresh rates and are protected with the latest Gorilla Glass Victus+. However, the Ultra version is the only one with an Adaptive Refresh mode that can go down to 1Hz rather than 10Hz. It also contains some other upgrades that has its maker calling it "our most advanced display yet".

At its Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event today, Samsung officially unveiled the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra — the largest Galaxy tablet in recent memory after the Galaxy View, with a 14.6-inch 120 Hz WQXGA+ AMOLED display. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC and features dual-12 MP front cameras for enhanced 4K video collaboration. The Tab S8 Ultra is powered by a massive 11,200 mAh battery and will be available from February 25 starting from €1,149.

Samsung, today, unveiled the Galaxy Tab S8 and Galaxy Tab S8+ during its Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event. Samsung is offering upgrades to its tablet range after a year-long gap following the Tab S7 Series in 2020. The new Galaxy Tab S8 and Tab S8+ feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC and come with improved interoperability between other Galaxy devices including the new Galaxy S22 Series, Galaxy Book, and Galaxy Buds.

The midrange 6 nm MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC will power the new smartphone alongside 2x2 Wi-Fi 6, an optional orange leather option, and a "Golden Portrait" feature which Infinix claims is the equivalent of a 2x optical zoom.

The Honor 50 Lite launched in Germany with an MSRP of around 300 Euros (~$343), and it intends to win over buyers with fast 66-watt charging, a good display, and a high-resolution quad-camera setup. Unfortunately, the smartphone suffers from a few flaws on its way to receiving a full recommendation.

Motorola scrambled to become one of the first OEMs with a foldable clamshell smartphone on the market. Now, a new patent from the company suggests it intends to turn the new Razr inside out - kind of literally. It focuses on a new design that allows a device of this form-factor to bend the other way compared to the existing device.

Google has introduced a new calculator app intended for devices such as Chromebooks. However, because it is web-based, it can also be used on iPads and so on. This means the Mountain View giant has beaten Apple to making this often essential service available on its own signature tablets.

A recent patent-based leak has led to rumors that OnePlus will launch an ultra-flagship variant (perhaps literally) with a periscope camera in place of the current 10 Pro's third rear camera and ring-flash. Now, Concept Creator has incorporated this prediction into new images showing how this premium smartphone might look in the real world.

The reliable leaker Roland Quandt has come across renders for what is claimed as the Nokia G21, and, thus, one of the HMD Global brand's 2022 crop of smartphones. Should this be the case, it seems the new device is dropping the signature G-series ring-cam in favor of a much more conventional hump, and that's not even the extent of the putative changes with this potential budget phone.

The upcoming NEX 5 from Vivo is rumored to launch with an extra-large 7-inch display in 2022. Now, according to the latest renders for this phone, the OEM will combine this spec with the round camera hump that has all but disappeared from the premium Android smartphone at this point. In so doing, they purport to debunk prior images linked to the device.

If you want the latest Microsoft tablet with Type Cover keyboard without paying close to a grand, then this latest sale may be worth a look. Retailers may be getting ready for the inevitable Surface Pro upgrade with Intel Alder Lake.

The latest rumors suggest that Motorola's new, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered flagship smartphone will change not only its name (currently the Moto Edge X30) but its looks for its debut outside China. According to the latest leak, this is partially untrue, and it will launch with the same rear panel everywhere. Then again, it calls the possibility of its Special Edition going international into question.

Many consumers pair their smartphones with wearables capable of showing their heart rate these days. However, according to Realme, those accessories will not be necessary with its upcoming 9 Pro+. It will have a new kind of fingerprint sensor that apparently also doubles as a specific times of fitness tracker.

Android 12L will be the latest OS custom-designed for tablets from Google on its launch. Despite this, its latest beta version for Lenovo's high-end Tab P12 Pro is not rated for many new features. It has an upgraded security patch, albeit not one from 2022.

Gionee has introduced its latest device as its G13 Pro, although many consumers might be inclined to identify its design as that of the iPhone 13 instead. The levels of odd deja-vu do not end there, however, as the OEM has chosen to use a UI based on Huawei's Mobile Services. The phone is now up for pre-order at a markedly affordable price.

The upcoming RedMagic 7 flagship series will have a variant with an under-display camera, thereby becoming a world-first in its market in 2022 - if new hints dropped by the eminent leaker Digital Chat Station are anything to go by at least. This rumor may be corroborated by a new, strongly Chinese New Year-flavored teaser direct from the brand in question.

Ricoh's Theta series is one of the best-known types of omnidirectional or 360-degree cameras out there. Its new X flagship may be its most versatile and user-friendly variants to date, being the first of its line to have a large color touchscreen, a microSD card in place of internal storage and a replaceable battery.

Lenovo is thought to launch the Legion Y90 as a flagship gaming smartphone with distinct design cues from its predecessor. Now, however, there are signs that the next generation on from that might take a different path thereafter. It might have fairly predictable internals, yet look very different from its series' mobile devices to date.

Currently, most new Pro-series iPhones are shipped with displays made by Samsung. However, BOE aims to cut into that market with new panels with the specs Apple might be looking for in future models. They include LTPO and a double-stack tandem structure, which could persuade the Cupertino giant to throw more orders its way from 2023 on.

Xiaomi's gaming phone brand Black Shark has announced that a 2021 flagship is now available to buy on AliExpress. However, it is not the latest 4S Pro, but the 4 Pro that came before it. Then again, the Snapdragon 888-powered, 120W-charging phone is priced at an attractive discount at the moment.

A new report coming from DigiTimes is suggesting that Samsung's current gen foldables could get their prices slashed by at least 35% in anticipation for the next gen models. The South Korean giant also plans to boost foldable sales to 13 million units this year.
