iQOO 15's processor officially confirmed

Image
via iQOO 15's processor officially confirmed The iQOO 15 is expected to be unveiled in China next month, with an international debut anticipated before the end of the year. The brand has already revealed the iQOO 15's design and a few other features, but today it confirmed the most important part of the phone's specs sheet - the processor. iQOO has confirmed that the iQOO 15 will be powered by the freshly announced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship chip.

iPhone Air vs. the bend test: can Apple's slender 5.6mm phone survive?

Image
via iPhone Air vs. the bend test: can Apple's slender 5.6mm phone survive? The iPhone Air is the last model that Apple still makes with a titanium frame – this year, the Pros switched to aluminum, just like the vanilla model (singular now that the Plus is gone). Why? Durability is a major concern with a device that measures only 5.6mm thick, especially with a large 6.5” display on the front. That display is where JerryRigEverything’s durability tests start. The new Ceramic Shield 2 is 3x harder to scratch, according to Apple. According to EU’s new Energy label, it is a 5 on the Mohs scale, up from a 4 on the previous Ceramic Shield. Does that mean that the...

Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max in for review

Image
via Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max in for review Apple didn’t rename the Pro Max model to “Ultra” as some rumors suggested, but it did significantly rework the design and it upgraded a lot of the hardware too. And a lot of that is new materials. The company introduced its first stainless steel phone, the iPhone 4, way back in 2010, but switched to aluminum with the iPhone 5. These past couple of years, Cupertino experimented with titanium to try and fight the steadily increasing weight of the Pro and especially Pro Max models. The experiments are over and this year Apple is using aluminum for all models but the Air. The iPhone 17...

Nothing Ear (3) is coming

Image
via Nothing Ear (3) is coming Nothing's flagship TWS earbud range went from Ear (1) to Ear (2) to Ear. No typo, they just removed the number the last time around, and guess what - that turned out to be incredibly confusing for prospective buyers. So Nothing has decided to go back to using numbers for its next release, which will be called Nothing Ear (3) even though it's the fourth product in the line - just to make sure there's a tiny bit of confusion still brewing. The earbuds are "launching soon", Nothing says, while Andrew Freshwater, the company's Head of Global Smart Products Marketing, explains: We...

OnePlus 15 certification reveals faster charging

Image
via OnePlus 15 certification reveals faster charging The OnePlus 13 supports 100W wired charging, but it looks like its successor may go above that, and rather significantly so. A OnePlus device with the model number CPH2747 has received TÜV certification. The model number starting with "CPH" reveals that this is a global model (the Chinese market specific variants start with "P", in the case of the OnePlus 15 it's PLK110 presumably). The certification also tells us that this handset will support 120W wired charging, 20% over the OnePlus 13's capability. Unfortunately there's no way, right now, to 100% confirm that the CPH2747 model number...
