The Samsung Galaxy S10 series may also suffer from a green tint display issue

Green tint has slowly turned into a popular issue with recent OLEDs. There were reports with the Galaxy S20 Ultra earlier this year, with similar reports coming from OnePlus 8 Pro owners and then iPhone 11 Pro series. The most recent cases were with the new Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S7, and Galaxy Tab S7+. It appears […]

Huawei MateBook X and MateBook 14 come to Europe with 3:2 displays and compact designs

The Huawei MateBook X and new MateBook 14 are coming to Europe, following their launches in China last month. The MateBook X is the more premium of the two laptops, but the MateBook 14 has the performance edge. Both devices will be available to order from October 7. The MateBook X has a 13-inch IPS screen with […]

Sony WH-1000XM4: First Impressions with an underwhelming upgrade

There was almost a two-year gap between Sony releasing the WH-1000XM3 and WH-1000XM4. The many retailer listings that surfaced earlier this year suggest that the worldwide pandemic probably delayed Sony somewhat, but we digress. We were itching to try the WH-1000XM4 following last month’s launch, so we purchased a pair of the Silver ones. Sony […]

LG Velvet durability test confirms the origin of the screen in its Dual Screen accessory

The LG Velvet comes in two flavours, although a third is on its way. At the time of writing, LG has released a 5G and Snapdragon 765G-powered edition, along with a cheaper 4G model that has a Snapdragon 845. By contrast, a T-Mobile version has the new MediaTek Dimensity 1000C, which also has a 5G modem. All models have that same […]

Motorola has now made the Razr 2020 5G official via its various online channels. Its leaks are spot-on, as it happens, down to the 2800mAh battery – which the OEM describes as “all-day” (somehow).

AMD announces launch dates for Zen 3 CPUs and RDNA 2 “Big Navi” graphics cards

AMD’s Zen 3 and RDNA 2 are perhaps the most anticipated computing platforms for 2020. Now we have a firm date on when we will see them. AMD posted a teaser video for its next generation of GPUs. The Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs, which are built on the RDNA 2 architecture, will officially launch […]

Xiaomi announces the end of MIUI 12 Round 2 as the start of Round 3 seems likely

Android 11 may have just come out of beta, but Xiaomi operates on a different wavelength. The company does not tie its in-house MIUI OS to versions of Android, allowing it to release multiple distributions and support older handsets for longer than some of its competitors. Theoretically, that is the case anyway, as the opposite […]

HP and Lenovo have yet to offer a 17-inch workstation as compact as the Dell Precision 5750

Most 17.3-inch workstations are large and bulky since they generally aren’t chasing after the same narrow-bezel look and sleek designs that most consumer laptops like to boast. This idea has been changing over the past couple of years with the advent of Nvidia Studio, but even these newer ultra-thin workstations like the MSI WS75 or Asus ProArt are still not […]

“Budget” Microsoft Surface Laptop billed for an October release with uninspiring specifications

Microsoft already has two sizes of the Surface Laptop, but Windows Central now claims that the company is working on a 12.5-inch model. However, this device is apparently an equivalent to the Surface Go, insofar as Microsoft will pitch it as a budget option to the regular versions of the Surface Laptop. Windows Central alleges that the device, codenamed […]
