  The Galaxy S21 FE is finally out, and it builds on the successful Galaxy S20 FE by combining the best traits of the Galaxy S21 phones and putting them into a phone that's more affordable and has a number of fan-favorite features. Samsung has upgraded two of the most important aspects of the previous Galaxy S20 FE with S21 features. First, it's the display, which now uses the brighter Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with HDR10+ support and 120Hz refresh. And then, it's about performance - the Galaxy S21 FE utilizes the same chipsets as the S21 series - the Snapdragon 888 for the European unit and Exynos 2100 for Australia and possibly other markets. All four cameras are copy-pasted from the Galaxy S20 FE, which is not that exciting. But thanks to the new and more powerful hardware, Samsung is promising better processing for higher photo quality (especially at night) and some clever tricks like object removal after the photo has been taken. The Galaxy S21 FE is water-resistant as u

  At CES 2022, Intel revealed its teased 12th Generation, limited edition CPU that can boost one of its cores up to 5.5GHz. It's going to be part of the so-called KS series and its actual name is Core i9-12900KS. During the announcement, Intel showcased a demo of a configuration running Hitman 3 and the CPU maintained a solid 5.2GHz clock speed on all of its 8 performance cores. Of course, just like the standard Core i9-12900K, this one also has a set of 8 power-efficient E-cores. However, no additional info regarding temperatures or power draw was given. Initially, the CPU will be available to OEMs only and later on will be available for purchase by the end users. No specific time frames were given either. Via

Sorce:Appleinsder Apple's work in augmented reality is expected to culminate into " Apple Glass " — a wearable heads-up display straight out of sci-fi. Here's what it looks like and what to expect for the peripheral, based on very early leaks. Rumors have circulated about Apple's next big thing in wearables for years, but many reports have conflated augmented reality and virtual reality. While Apple may release an " Apple VR " headset in 2022, "Apple Glass" is the futuristic augmented reality device that comes after. Patents, leaks, and rumors show that Apple is working on a set of goggles or glasses that a user could wear and view graphics  overlayed on real-world objects . These would use transparent lenses to allow the user to see the world with their eyes, rather than on a display inside of a VR headset.   "Apple Glass" would use a  fashion-first design  that looks like a regular pair of glasses. The approach to design is expected

  Samsung will bring back the 45W charging standard to its smartphones, starting with the   Galaxy S22 Ultra,   leakster Roland Quandt reveals. He shared an image of the new PD charger with the model number EP-T4510, which will obviously be sold separately. The travel charger will come with a USB-C to USB-C cable in the retail package, according to the leaked image. If the leakster is correct, this would mean we'll once again see a Galaxy smartphone with 45W charging. The last one was the  Galaxy S20 Ultra , introduced in February 2020. Back then the 45W charger would throttle extremely quickly and barely made any difference in charging speeds compared to the 25W one. The current 45W adapter looks very similar, and also comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable. The main difference on the outside is the smaller size of the upcoming EP-T4510 compared to the current EP-TA845XBNG. The included cable will be 1.8 meters long, which is longer than the current 1-meter cable. The current 45W adapt

  The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G has the same chip as the Galaxy S21 series, but up until now, we assumed that only meant the Snapdragon 888. However, the S21 FE 5G will indeed have an Exynos 2100 in certain markets as well. One such market is Australia as revealed by retailer Harvey Norman's product listing. It clearly says the Exynos 2100 is powering the phone. Samsung is traditionally mum on the specifics of the chipset in its official pages. Either way - we'll have the Galaxy S21 FE 5G in our office soon - so keep an eye on our homepage to know all about it!

  A new phone called Oppo A96 5G is on its way, and its press images just appeared online. Evan Blass, better known as   @evleaks   shared several photos of the phone, revealing its design - two cameras at the back, one more at the front, and flat sides.       Oppo A96 5G Some replied on Twitter that the Oppo A96 5G bears a strong resemblance to the Apple iPhone 12, and we can't disagree, but there are also plenty of differences to make the A96 stand out. It does appear to have a punch-hole screen with a single front-facing camera, instead of a notch, increasing the overall screen-to-body ratio. This is the first time we see this moniker and there’s nothing about the specs of this phone, aside from the obvious fact it will have 5G connectivity. The images look scraped from an official website, meaning the Oppo A96 5G launch is right around the corner and we’re likely to see more teasers soon. Source
