Oppo Reno6 Pro 5G in for review

Oppo Reno6 Pro 5G in for review Oppo announced the Reno6 5G, Reno6 Pro 5G, and Reno6 Pro+ 5G in China in May, and the first two began their global rollout in July, starting with India. The Pro+ variant arrived in Europe in September, but under the Reno6 Pro 5G moniker. That means you get a Snapdragon 870 SoC with the European Reno6 Pro 5G, unlike the Indian model that has the Dimensity 1200 chip at the helm.

We did a hands-on review of the Dimensity model a few months ago, and now we’ve received the Snapdragon variant for review at the office in the Arctic Blue color, but you also have the option to pick one in Lunar…

Week 43 in review: Redmi Note 11 series debut, Xperia Pro-I is here with 1-inch type sensor Another week to recap, let’s begin. Xiaomi introduced three new phones in China – Redmi Note 11 Pro and Redmi Note 11 Pro+ and the more affordable vanilla Redmi Note 11. The two Pro devices are identical aside from one key difference – the Plus variant brings 120W fast charging, while the regular Pro has a bigger battery.

The Redmi Note 11 is going to be available in Gradient, Black, and Mint Blue colors and start from CNY1,199 ($187). The first flash sale will take place on Monday, November 1. Redmi Note 11 Pro will follow on November 5 in Black, Aurora Gradient, Violet, or Forest Green…

Weekly poll: is there a market for professional phones like the Sony Xperia Pro-I?

Weekly poll: is there a market for professional phones like the Sony Xperia Pro-I? If you go to Sony’s website you will see that it sells phones in two categories – Smartphones and Professional smartphones. And the company really means professional, not like those iPhone Pros or Redmi Pros where “Pro” just stands for “slightly better”.

The Sony Xperia Pro-I really is positioned as a professional tool, which is why it comes with a hair-raising price tag of $1,800/€1,800. This isn’t something you buy as a personal phone, you get this as a work phone or your company gets one for you.

What kind of work? Vlogging was the main use case presented. In fact, Sony…

Weekly poll results: Pixel 6 duo well loved, but availability holds it back

Weekly poll results: Pixel 6 duo well loved, but availability holds it back It seems that Google finally did it – it created phones that many people want. Unfortunately, it is not a phone that many can get. And no, it’s not because of the price, the $600 Pixel 6 and the $900 Pixel 6 Pro are priced well.

But being available in less than a dozen of countries leaves out a lot of would-be buyers. Last week’s poll shows that many are in just that situation. Though considering how quickly the stock ran out, serving more markets might not have been feasible.

Putting aside the question of availability, 80% of the votes in the poll are positive. That’s a lot better than…

Flashback: Samsung S8500 Wave, the first phone with Super AMOLED and first with Bada OS

Flashback: Samsung S8500 Wave, the first phone with Super AMOLED and first with Bada OS Do you know which was the first phone with a Super AMOLED display? Some of you may have answered “the original Galaxy S”, but that is not the case – if you read our story of OLED displays on mobile phones you will know that it was the Samsung S8500 Wave, which beat the Galaxy S to market by two months.

Back then we called this a “modest retail package” – if only we knew what was coming

Or maybe you answered correctly because you still remember the Wave phones and the OS they ran – Bada (Korean for “ocean”). It was a precursor to Tizen, the OS that runs on Samsung smart TVs today…
