ONEPLUS 12 CONTROVERSY! It’s a little concerning. My phone keeps trying to connect to a mystery network, listed as an ISP WiFi that (to my knowledge) doesn’t do business here in California. Has anyone else seen something like this? What’s going on?
A Weibo tipster states the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will launch with an Adreno 830 GPU clocked at 935 MHz. The SoC’s P-cores will have a peak clock of 4.2 GHz and the other six cores will max out at 2.6 GHz....
Balancing performance against power draw is tough. You’ll find diminishing returns on adding more cores when a bigger core might complete a task faster and use less power overall. Tensor 3 is also a nona-core, but in general, i think we’ll probably see companies stick with symmetrical big/little core counts.
The newest Wear OS watch from Mobvoi is not a radical hardware change. Where Xiaomi, Oppo, and Google are only just catching the tech in the Pro 5, the Enduro is a move towards slightly better efficiency and fancier build materials. It’s still a TicWatch though, and while some of the software situation has improved, we still...
I used to game a lot on a desktop, but now that I work at home, I kinda hate sitting in front of a PC. I wasnt playing a lot, but then got a steam deck at launch, and now I’m gaming a ton again.
I like the switch, but I really like how backwards compatible PC gaming is.
I REALLY wish these companies would drop the extra sensors. It’s just for the look, to make it LOOK more expensive. It’s better than when cheap brands would put fake lenses on the back of a phone, but not by much.
If you can skip premium phones from this year, you’ll get noticably better battery life. The Samsung fabbed Snapdragon 8Gen1 is kind of a dog. 8+Gen1 and 8Gen2 were fabbed by TSMC, and deliver a significantly better performance per watt.
I try to tell people to “upgrade in place” and save money, unless they WANT to try new things on their phones. If you WANT to try playing more graphics intense games or edit video/podcasts from a phone (and you werent don’t that already on your current phone) it makes sense to shop a more powerful replacement. Otherwise, let’s say you have a three to four years old premium phone, and you want to keep doing the same things with it, then replacing it with a mid-ranger should still be a slight performance upgrade, move you down a price tier.
We keep seeing these “record breaking” articles about Samsung selling more phones than some previous high watermark, but increasingly, Samsung can’t seem to sustain interest in their products past the first surge of pre-orders.
The S8 and S8+ went on to sell 41 million units according to analysts. That doesn’t include a Note.
I’ll lay the prediction out that Samsung will sell fewer Galaxy S phones with three models this year than they did with two models back in 2017.

Always worth mentioning the free version of davinci resolve. It’s feature complete for your described needs, doesn’t hassle with things like watermarks, and the tools are great if you ever need to step up to something a little more robust.
I feel a lot of the photography enthusiasts out there are starting to miss some really exciting mobile cameras. Also, we only ever seem to have these kinds of “worth it” concerns after an Android launch… Never after an iPhone launch…
And for how expensive portable consoles can be, I’m not calling anything a “steam deck killer” until I’m also confident it can be repaired and upgraded for years after I buy it.
