iPhone 16 Pro Max to be even bigger

In May last year, renders comparing the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the 15 Pro Max emerged, showing the former being slightly taller and wider. That's because the report claims the 16 Pro Max has a 6.9-inch display as opposed to the 6.7-inch screen on the 15 Pro Max.

Now, live photos of what appears to be a 16 Pro Max dummy compare it to a real iPhone 15 Pro Max. The pictures confirm the initial leak and the rumored Action Button on the side.

It's evident from the photos that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be bigger than the current big-screen...

Android 14 for TV adds picture-in-picture mode and reduces power consumption

Google I/O brings a new version of the Android TV OS, which is based on Android 14. Just like the new Wear OS 5 (which is also based on Android 14), there is a focus on reduced power consumption.

But the most interesting feature for users is support for picture-in-picture mode. This enables a form of multitasking with one app running in full screen and one in a small window. This will enable several use cases:

ticker: live sports scores or stock tickers
smart home: showing connected doorbells or baby monitors
communication: running video or voice calls while watching TV

3nm Exynos W1000 to power the Galaxy Watch7

The Galaxy Watch is set for a major jump in performance and efficiency, courtesy of a new Exynos W1000 chipset, per a report from Korea.

The SoC is reportedly built on Samsung's second-gen 3nm node - the SF3 - and represents a big step forward over the 5nm W930 in the current generation Galaxy Watch5.

Moving past Samsung's smartwatch line and looking at Apple - the Exynos W1000 is a big step up from the 5nm S9 processor.

Reports strongly suggest that Samsung is readying three new smartwatch models. Whether those are an affordable (FE if you will), a regular, and a Pro, isn't...

Sony Xperia 10 VI in for review

This is the Xperia 10 VI, Sony's annual midranger, and on the surface, not much has changed. It follows the blueprint of its predecessor almost to the letter. A mid-sized phone with great battery life, solid multimedia credentials, and the Sony experience for Sony faithful.

The Xperia 10 VI is environmentally conscious, which is to say that it ships in a recycled box without any plastic inside, but also sadly no accessories - hope you have a charger and USB cable lying around. Over 50% of the phone's own plastics are recycled too!

The new phone has lost the dedicated 54mm zoom...

Google announces new features for Circle to Search and Gemini on Android

At its I/O conference today, Google has unveiled a new feature for Circle to Search. It can now help students with homework. When a student circles a prompt they're stuck on, they will receive step by step instructions to solve "a range of physics and math word problems without leaving their digital info sheet or syllabus".

And "later this year" Circle to Search will be able to help solve more complex problems involving symbolic formulas, diagrams, and graphs. This is all made possible by Google's new LearnLM, an effort to enhance its products and models for...

Sony Xperia 1 VI leaks in full, all specs detailed

We are now only a few hours away from the official unveiling of Sony's Xperia 1 VI, its all-out flagship for this year, and as sometimes happens in these cases, a new leak has preempted basically all of Sony's event.

This leak fully details all of the phone's specs, most of which we've heard of before, and that's paired with some leaked images that seem to come from an internal source at the company - in fact, we wouldn't be surprised if some of these slides will be used at the presentation itself.

So let's dive in. The Xperia 1 VI will drop the 4K resolution screen, as has been...

Google shows off Gemini's conversational skills ahead of I/O

2001: A Space Odyssey is over 50 years old now yet its talking AI, HAL 9000, remains iconic. However, the reality of talking AIs has been pretty disappointing – Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant are useful, but they rarely feel smart. That is changing and changing fast.

Google is setting the stage (literally) for its annual I/O conference (you can watch the livestream here, it starts at 17:00 UTC) and shared a teaser of what’s to come – its Gemini AI has learned new tricks.

It’s a “multi-modal” AI, meaning that it can seamlessly incorporate text, audio and imagery. This allows it to run on...
