In a small country beyond the seven beer seas and seven bratwurst mountains, the excitement was once again palpable. The iPhone 15 (Pro Max) had been announced with much fanfare in a nicely done live stream, and members of the illustrious Apple cult could hardly wait to warm their hands on it, given the rising gas prices and the looming harsh [...]
A pre-production model of the new iPhone 15 was subjected to the Geekbench 6.2 benchmark earlier this week. The device ran iOS 17.0 and had the Logic Board name “D83AP”. The A17 Pro chipset, which is built into the iPhone 16.1, is the industry’s first “3nm” chip. Apple has set high goals for this chip, promising [...]
The world of power banks is truly an adventure in its own right. When you look at the shelves in electronics stores and all the online offers, one might think that they are all gallantly growing in competition with each other. They come in all sizes, colors, and shapes, as if they were part of a power bank fashion show. But there’s a catch [...]
The A17 Pro introduces hardware ray tracing in a new GPU, and console-quality games have been announced for the phone. Apple’s A17 Pro chip brings console gaming to the smartphone. Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will get the first 3-nanometer chip, the A17 Pro. The A17 Pro has 19 billion transistors and a 6-core CPU with [...]

Analysten gehen davon aus, dass ARM einer der ersten Kunden sein könnte, der den Prozess nutzt. Dies könnte ARM dabei helfen, Marktanteile im mobilen Markt zu gewinnen, da der 18-A [...]
Who hasn’t experienced this, one year after purchase, you take a first look at the condition of the battery and believe that everything is in perfect order. Fiddlesticks! Even though the current iPhone 14 is in the headlines because of its battery, today’s example within the family shows that excessive use of things like YouTube [...]
I rarely test any smartphones, unless it is for personal use. The Doogee V30 presented today is ultimately the upgrade to the already tested Doogee S89 Pro and has to compete with the Hotwav Cyber 7 again. Both smartphones are privately owned (by my children) and I have already written about the background and the sense or nonsense of smartphones [...]
Why I took a closer look at the Doogee S89 Pro today and let you participate in the self-experiment (of my kids)? Because, as the father of two young boys, I see myself once again confirmed in the fact that it is rather counterproductive to pass on the discarded parental smartphones to the squirts. Rugged smartphones are certainly a niche, and yet [...]

With the CPUs and APUs, AMD obviously makes it like a highly infectious virus, you mutate quickly and attack Intel’s general health on all fronts. There is no other way to look at it, because under the code name “Lucienne” the first engineering samples of a new APU from AMD are in circulation. Let’s first look at the [...]
I had actually been thinking about an Asus ZenScreen in the same size, because I would have liked to have had a portable monitor for both the smartphone and the notebook. But this monitor doesn’t have an hour in hands-on mode, because it unfortunately had a pretty good reflection and extreme halos. But the almost 270 Euros are a little steep [...]
Yesterday, AMD launched the Ryzen 4000 Mobile CPUs already presented at CES 2020. Some notebooks with the brand new chips are already available for order. Initial tests show the flagship Ryzen 9 4900H(S) is a huge leap in performance compared to the last generation. Obviously, with the same consumption, the Renoir-baptized CPUs can leave [...]
Since Google banned Huawei from using Google apps on its new phones, Huawei has worked hard to develop an alternative app ecosystem. The company has teamed up with other Chinese OEMs such as Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo to create a Play Store alternative, and has even provided a whopping billion dollars to developers joining its platform. Huawei's [...]
Recently, developers have found a way to perform an iPhone jailbreak with a rooted Android device. Perhaps the most ambitious crossover episode of all time also found out how to run the Android operating system on the iPhone itself. The Sandcastle project is an initiative that makes it possible to flash a slightly more functional, slimmed-down [...]
Samsung has made a monumental leap with the Galaxy S20 Ultra in terms of hardware specifications, features and, above all, sheer size. It's an absolute beast from a phone and to find out exactly how it all works now and especially what you've done inside (and how), iFixit took the flagship apart and decided to show us more by video. The [...]
The 100x "space zoom", which is reserved exclusively for the Galaxy S20 Ultra, could be a fun gimmick for some and perhaps even a blessing for others in some situations. For private investigator Michael McKeever, it's at least an opportunity to show how far smartphones have come in terms of zoom levels, and how Samsung's latest [...]
The dispute over Apple's battery scandal appears to be on the verge of being resolved. To sum it up, in 2017 it was discovered that Apple made processor speed dependent on the aging of iPhone batteries and artificially limited them. The Cupertino-based manufacturer claimed at the time that the motive behind the move was to prevent sudden [...]
I took a guest article by Sascha Hochweber as an opportunity to ask our readers specifically about their own gaming behaviour and to include these surveys in the following articles. According to a recent survey of the only4gamers.de page, there were more than 2.5 billion active gamers worldwide in 2019. Although this also includes players on [...]
One notices it again and again: the time when well-heeled (or with a mobile phone gag contract punished and would-be rich) proudly banged the iPhone on the table, so that the environment may freeze with awe, are long gone. Thank God. Of course, there are still models that the customer likes to show, as long as the properties also justify the [...]
As one of the most vocal critics of China's state subsidies, the US is now considering a subsidy package for Huawei's main rivals Nokia and Ericsson to make it more competitive in 5G competition with the Chinese telecomgiant, according to a new report in the Financial Times. The report says in detail that U.S. officials had already [...]
