Android 11 is here and brings built-in screen recording at last

[ad_1] Months after the Android 11 beta was released in June, the final version is finally here and ready to roll out to consumer devices. While we already saw upcoming features like messaging bubbles, grouped conversation notifications as well as new media and device controls in the preview, Google surprised us today by also adding […]

Global smartphone shipments tanked by 20.4 percent due to the pandemic

[ad_1] With a 46 percent decline, Gartner says the South Asian country saw the worst drop in smartphone sales among the top five markets for phones globally. Before the pandemic, India was one of the few places where smartphone sales were growing globally, but the country adopted strict lockdown measures to cope with the coronavirus. […]

Oppo’s new smartwatch runs Wear OS but with better health tracking

[ad_1] Although it looks a lot like the Apple Watch, the larger Oppo Watch actually has dual curved edges that the company describes as a “flexible AMOLED”, while the 41mm model is flat. Depending on the size you choose, you’ll be getting either a big 1.91-inch or 1.6-inch 1,000-nit touchscreen that should be easily readable […]

Oppo will debut a Wear OS smartwatch on July 31st

[ad_1] If the Wear OS-powered device is going to be anything like the earlier version, then it’ll likely have an AMOLED screen, eSIM for LTE and cellular calls, heart rate monitoring and water resistance up to 3ATM (or 5ATM on a larger model). The first Oppo Watch starts at 1,499 yuan (about $220) in China […]

Oppo’s Evangelion phone is surprisingly faithful to the anime

[ad_1] Oppo put in just as much effort in the accessories department. First of all, we have to talk about the SIM ejection tool — it’s basically a miniaturized Spear of Longinus, but with a shorter handle. Then you have the Unit-01-styled protection case, along with a pair of NERV-branded earbuds and a charger with […]

Oppo’s Reno Ace 2 has the world’s fastest wireless charging (for now)

[ad_1] The rest of the Reno Ace 2 is very much a moderate flagship phone based on the increasingly common Snapdragon 865 platform. Starting off with the display, this device comes with a 6.5-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel featuring 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate, HDR10+ certification and a 16-megapixel punch-hole camera. This is all […]

Oppo’s first Android smartwatch borrows a lot from Apple

[ad_1] The watch comes in two flavors: the 46mm version with a 1.91-inch AMOLED screen should last for up to 40 hours on a single charge, whereas the smaller 41mm version with a 1.6-inch screen does 24 hours only. They charge up quickly thanks to Oppo’s VOOC technology: a 17-minute session already gets you back […]

Oppo’s Find X2 Pro is a huge, high-spec phone to rival the Galaxy S20 Ultra

[ad_1] The first thing you’ll notice about the Find X2 Pro is that it has a somewhat plain appearance compared to the legendary Find X. There are no hidden pop-up cameras; instead you’ll find three of them lined up on the back. There’s also a punch-hole camera at the top left corner of the curved […]

Nearly every top-selling smartphone in 2019 was an iPhone or Galaxy

[ad_1] Just where these phones dominated is another matter. It won’t surprise you to hear that Apple ruled North America, taking all of the top five slots, and took two of the top spots in Europe. In most other places, though, it’s a Samsung planet. Samsung had the most top-five phones in Europe, Latin America, […]
