Deals: Pixel 8a paired with $100 gift card, but Galaxy A35, S23 FE and OnePlus 12R prices fall

So, the Google Pixel 8a costs $500, huh? Looking at the poll from last week, most people think that this is too expensive for a mid-ranger. And indeed it is, considering that the flagship Pixel 8 has been quite close to this price many times in the past.

But not now, though. The Pixel 9 series is still a few months out, but the Pixel 8 is rather pricey right now and some colorways are almost out of stock. And the 8a is getting some deals.

For example, Amazon is offering a $100 gift card with the purchase of a Google Pixel 8a. This can be spend on a case, a charger, headphones or...

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge pricing leaks

Our Nubia Flip battery life test is ready

We've just completed the Nubia Flip battery test and we are ready to share the results with you. This affordable foldable boasts a 4,310mAh battery which is amongst the largest cells fitted in the clamshell foldable space. It’s also rocking a midrange Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, which shouldn't be too power hungry, but is nearly two years old at this point.

Nubia Flip

With that in mind, Nubia Flip managed an Active use score of 8:39 hours which is less than stellar considering its rivals outshine it in direct comparisons. The 19:02 hour call time and 9:13 hour video playback scores are...

Apple iPad Pro 11 (2024) in for review

We've been hearing about the iPad's move to OLED since 2021, but we finally have an OLED iPad in our hands in mid-2024.

The unit we have for review is the 11-inch iPad Pro (2024) and it's a solid upgrade over its predecessor.

Part of that is down to the elapsed time - the last iPad Pro 11 came out two years ago. Sure, the M2 processor inside that tablet is no slouch, even in 2024, but the M4 inside the new Pro is built on a more efficient second-generation 3nm process, compared to the 5nm of the M2.

Some would argue whether an iPad needs an M4 chip over an A17 Pro, but this iPad...

iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. 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
