We’ve been following rumours that Lenovo-owned Motorola is looking at cracking the folding phone market (such as it is) with its very own entry — a folding version of the iconic Motorola RAZR. We’ve found out what the specs are likely to be, and now we may have a pretty good idea what it looks like.
But a new upgrade to the SIM card means life can even simpler. Called an electronic SIM or eSIM, it is a way of linking your phone, using software, to a SIM (usually in a server rack at the service provider). The new iPhone Xs, which I am using, has an eSIM built in.
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll notice that mobile gaming is ramping up. And not just the Candy Crush sort of game, either. Full-fledged console games, custom stores, and battle royale are all more prominent than ever. But to actually play high-end titles, you need a high-end phone. Because high-end processors. Qualcomm’s looking to change that, a little, with the Snapdragon 730G.
At an Unpacked event in Hong Kong today, Samsung announced seven new devices that will join the Galaxy A range, these will come to South Africa.
The Nokia X71 might sound like the tech company is working on a spy-plane rather than a smartphone but that’s…
If we didn’t know any better, we’d say that this video of Samsung’s Galaxy Fold smartphones being tested was part of a much longer video. A video involving some early-2000s band, possibly transformed into monkeys and singing about… well, you decide what they’re singing about. It’s got the same sort of vibe.
Super. Charge. Turbo. All words that bring to mind a motorised vehicle flying by quick enough to demolish a building…
Sticking technology inside a blender and liquifying it (as much as you can liquify expensive sand) is a time-honoured internet tradition. Whether it’s for a form of guerrilla marketing or just because folks have been chasing YouTube views, blenders and tech go together like Facebook and misuse of personal information.
Here’s another one we knew we were going to see at MWC: It’s a phone with a 18,000mAh battery from Energizer.
You read that headline correctly — Energizer, the company best known for rabbits and batteries (not in that order), will be launching a range of smartphones at Mobile World Congress (MWC). And, unlike companies that just dip their toe into smartphone manufacture, they’re going all-in. How else do you explain the fact that they’re showing off a range of 26 devices at MWC 2019?
