GasBuddy sees surge in downloads after Colonial Pipeline shutdown, #1 on App Store

On Tuesday, several States along the south eastern corner of the US felt the effects of the a fuel shortage that followed after a cyber-attack prompted the Colonial Pipeline to shut down. The fuel shortages were felt across 11 states, but Washington D.C. and North Carolina had the most fueling stations depleted as of Wednesday afternoon.

The fuel outage information comes from the popular fueling app GasBuddy, which has seen an influx of downloads due to the fuel shortages. The app now ranks #1 on the App Store and Google Play Store in each app catalog’s respective “Travel”…

Poco M3 Pro 5G leaks in official-looking renders just as execs tease specs

Poco M3 Pro 5G leaks in official-looking renders just as execs tease specs

Looks like Poco has something new coming our way soon. The Poco M3 Pro is on its way to complement the vanilla M3 in Poco’s ever-expanding roster. It’s a similar move to what Poco recently pulled with the X3 and X3 Pro.

Unlike that pair, however, it looks like the M3 Pro won’t look identical to the M3, opting to forgo that model’s standout design for a different type of standout design. We’re saying this based on the leaked renders you can see below.

Compared to the M3, the M3 Pro will have a MediaTek Dimensity chipset at the helm, according to Kevin Xiaobo Qiu, the head of Poco…

Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and Watch Active4 will run Wear OS, won’t support blood sugar reading

Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and Watch Active4 will run Wear OS, won’t support blood sugar reading

Samsung’s next big Unpacked event is going to be… packed. Aside from the next generation Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip smartphones, and perhaps even the S21 FE too, the company is also planning on releasing not one but two new smartwatch models, each in two sizes.

We’re talking about the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch Active4. Both of these are to run Wear OS by Google, in a rare but big change of strategy for the Korean company, which in the past few years has relied on the in-house developed Tizen OS for its wearables.

The problem with Tizen is its lack of…

Infinix Note 10 unveiled with 90Hz 6.95″ FHD screens, Pro model adds 33W charging

They say “go big or go home” and the new Infinix Note 10-series is definitely not going home as the three new models have 6.95” displays – that is the same size as the Note 8 from last year, but this time the displays have 1080p+ resolution, up from 720p+ (which was rather low for this size).

And the displays run at 90 Hz refresh rate (and 180 Hz touch sampling rate) and are backed by faster chipsets. Let’s have a closer look.

The two phones are essentially identical besides the addition of NFC to the latter. The Note 10 Pro will be…

Amazon quietly updates its Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 5

Amazon’s Echo Sow line received an upgrade in the form of the new second gen Echo Show 8 and 5 models. The pair is joined by a special Kids Edition Echo Show 5. The big new addition on the Echo Show 8 is the 13MP camera with 110-degree field of view like on the Echo Show 10. It can follow your movements and help you stay centered during video calls. The Echo Show 5 gets an updated 2MP cam but skips out on the fancy follow mode of the Echo Show 8.

M1-powered iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) ends up slightly behind M1-powered MacBook Air in AnTuTu

M1-powered iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) ends up slightly behind M1-powered MacBook Air in AnTuTu

Benchmarks of the new iPad Pro (2021) tablets keep rolling in – earlier today we saw the slates blow past the competition in Geekbench, now the AnTuTu team has published the scorecard from their benchmark. AnTuTu tests not just the CPU, but also the GPU, the memory and the overall software performance.

The tablet under test, an iPad Pro 12.9 (2021), was equipped with 16GB of RAM and 1TB storage. A direct comparison with a MacBook Air (also powered by the Apple M1 chipset, of course), shows that the laptop is slightly faster. Note that it only had 8GB RAM and 512GB storage. Also note that…
