Samsung Galaxy A55 vs. Galaxy S23 FE (Exynos)

The Samsung Galaxy A55 vs. Galaxy S23 FE is quite an unlikely duo for one of our dedicated versus articles, but Samsung's pricing strategy led us here. After launching this year's popular Galaxy A55 at around €450 (now just a little over €400), the company has positioned it too close to its budget flagship, the Galaxy S23 FE.

But those devices are not created equal by any means. The Galaxy S23 FE is still the more expensive of the two (now selling for around €500), but it also delivers a flagship-like experience, while the A55 tries to strike a good balance between hardware and cost. They...

vivo T3x passes through Geekbench as its Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC is officially confirmed

vivo is making the T3x official for the Indian market on April 17 at 12 PM local time. Through a microsite on Flipkart, we've already found out that it will be priced under INR 15,000. As the microsite has now revealed the fact that it's powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC, a T3x prototype has also run Geekbench 6.

As usual, this means there's a listing for it now in the benchmark's online database, and this unsurprisingly confirms the fact that the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is at the helm. The T3x managed a 946 single-core score and a 2,839 multi-core score. The prototype that ran it had 8GB...

Motorola Edge 40 starts receiving Android 14 update in India

Back in January Motorola shared a list of its devices that would be getting updates to Android 14, and, as you'd imagine, the Edge 40 launched last year was on that list. It has however taken this long for the update to start rolling out to the device in the Indian market. Better late than never, we guess.

Anyway, according to a report on X, the finalized stable update is now going out, in batches, to Edge 40 units in India. The update arrives over-the-air and requires a 1.49GB download, so make sure you're on a fast network when you grab it.

The Galaxy S21 phones and 2021 foldables will not be quite as lucky. While their One UI 6.1 is just around the corner as well and also coming in May, it will...
