Testing the Infinix Concept Phone 2021 and its 160W Ultra Fast Charge system

Infinix recently sent us an intriguing concept device that showcases their new Ultra Flash Charge (UFC) system, which offers an impressive 160W of power. It claims that it can charge a 4,000 mAh battery in just 10 minutes.

The Infinix Concept Phone 2021 also demonstrates two other technologies – a solid electrochromic film (SECF) that can change the color of the back and an electroluminescence (EL) film that can illuminate arbitrary shapes.

On this phone it draws a line from the USB-C port to the circle formed by the O of the “NOW” stencil on the back (the Infinix motto is “The…

Weekly poll: Nintendo Switch OLED vs. Valve Steam Deck

Last week Nintendo unveiled the OLED Switch, this week Valve unveiled the Steam Deck. Will you be picking up one of those or do you think that Android phones are the way to game on the go? Before we point you to the virtual voting booth, let’s have a closer look at the competitors.

The Nintendo Switch OLED Model will be available in October starting at $350, this is with 64 GB storage (the original had 32 GB). It boasts a 7” OLED display, an upgrade over the smaller 6.2” LCD of the original (the Lite model has an even smaller display at 5.5”). It still has 1,280 x 720 px resolution,…

Moto G50 in for review

Motorola’s Moto G50 aims to solidify the maker’s midrange 5G portfolio and it will be put to the test since we managed to receive a unit for review here at HQ. So what exactly do you get here and should you consider a Moto as your first 5G phone?

The packaging here is your typical Moto affair with a clear gel case, USB-C cable and a 10W power adapter present in the box. Our review unit sports the uninspiring Steel Gray colorway which is quite reflective and gives out shades of blue under certain lighting. The phone feels substantial in hand weighing at 192 grams. The plastic frame and…

Weekly poll results: the Sony Xperia 1 III has devoted fans, a lower price tag would bring in more

Months after it was originally unveiled, the Sony Xperia 1 III is finally available for pre-order. It should start shipping on August 19 in the US and the UK, in late August in mainland Europe (e.g. Amazon Germany has set the launch date as August 25). And some people have their eye on the Mark 3 flagship, but even more have their eye on its price tag.

Last week’s poll shows that about a fifth of voters are interested in pre-ordering the 1 III. They will receive a free pair of WH-1000XM3 (Europe) or WF-1000XM (US) noise canceling headphones, plus some additional (region-dependent)…

TEST: Is the Nokia 808 PureView’s camera any good in 2021?

Introduction

We recently took a short nostalgia trip with the Nokia 808 PureView after we stumbled upon a still fully functional unit almost by accident (not really, we specifically went out looking for one). We covered it in a video, going over some of the firsts and bests it did in 2012 – here it is, if you missed it.

Having the phone in our hands, and well aware of the reputation it has in the comments section of most photography-centric smartphone reviews here, we figured a brief shootout was in order – think of it as ‘The 808 PureView versus The Year 2021 Cameraphones’.

Since we…
