Meizu sets launch date for 21 Note, reveals key specs

Meizu announced its exit from the smartphone market earlier this year, but then seemingly forgot about that and followed up with a launch of a 21 Pro flagship smartphone. Now, another handset is on its way and the company just confirmed its launch date, along with some key specs.

Meizu 21 Note will arrive on May 16 with a big battery and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

TrendForce: Apple to ship 4.5 to 5 million OLED iPad Pros in 2024

TrendForce's latest report projects that Apple will ship between 4.5 and 5 million OLED iPad Pros this year. That's the 11-inch and 13-inch combined, and it's a lower sales volume expectation than their LCD and mini-LED-equipped predecessors.

TrendForce notes that despite the reduced shipment projection, the move to AMOLED on medium-sized devices is a major milestone for the industry.

The report expects AMOLED tablets to hit 9 million units in 2024, about 7% of the tablet market.

Sales projections aside, the sheer technological innovation behind the displays of the new iPad Pros...

Motorola Razr 50 Ultra price leaks

Motorola's Razr 40 Ultra made its debut in June last year, and we're now in May so its successor is bound to appear soon. Ahead of its release, today the Razr 50 Ultra's price for the Eurozone has been leaked, purportedly from an Italian retailer.

The screenshot below is allegedly from said unnamed retailer's internal systems, and shows that the Razr 50 Ultra will be priced at €1,200. That currently translates into $1,288, but keep in mind that the US pricing definitely won't be that, as it's not how international price conversions work. If it's going to be €1,200 indeed, then expect it to...

European Commission to approve Apple's opening up of iPhone tap-to-pay to third parties in May

iOS 17.4 came out last month with monumental changes for iPhone owners in the EU, including the ability to use third party app stores, and pay for apps and services outside of Apple's App Store.

This was made possible by force - namely, the European Digital Markets Act made Apple allow these things, otherwise they never would have happened. A similar case of a 'walled garden' impenetrable to third parties has so far been the ability to pay for stuff using the iPhone's NFC functionality, which the company restricts to only its own service, Apple Pay. That, however, will change in the EU,...

$99.99 Umidigi G9 5G has a 50 MP main camera, 5,000 mAh battery, and 128GB of storage

There are good smartphones for the price, there are great smartphones for the price, and then there's the newly unveiled Umidigi G9 5G. This was just presented in Hong Kong at the 2024 Global Sources Mobile Electronics show, and it has an insane price: just $99.99.

That's incredibly cheap, but the specs are actually pretty good. So let's go through them. Unsurprisingly to hit that price point, the G9 5G uses a Unisoc chipset, specifically the T765. This comes with an octa-core CPU with two Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.3 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.1 GHz.
