Month: March 2022

Foldable devices look like the future of smartphones. Manufacturers such as Motorola, Samsung and Huawei have launched smartphones with folding screens, and more are expected in the coming months.

The appeal of the concept is easy to see - you can use the standard iPhone screen when you're outside, and when you want to play any game or read an article, "turn on" the iPhone and increase the screen size. screen size. iPad Mini - a concept similar to the high-end Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3

Alternatively, Apple can follow the same route as the Motorola Razr and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and halve the screen size of the smartphone when not in use.

There have been many rumors over the years, some dating back to 2016, indicating that Apple was actively looking for a flexible OLED manufacturer to produce panels for foldable iPhones, and a 2019 report suggested that Apple was in the testing phase.

Over the years, many patent applications have also been filed, and John Prosser, who escaped the leak, shared a few details on what to expect from a foldable iPhone and suggested that something was on the way with Apple - more on that later.

Aside from rumors, there are currently a number of issues with folding smartphones, such as price, durability and quality. Most likely, Apple is working behind closed doors on these issues, and it is likely that Apple will not whisper about the foldable iPhone until it approaches perfection.

This may mean that the device is still a few years old, but to be honest, it's worth the wait, isn't it? And until then, the idea of ​​the folding iPhone may not seem so much science fiction.

When will Apple introduce a foldable iPhone?

This is a million dollar question.

Bank of America analyst Merrill Lynch claimed that Apple is preparing to introduce a foldable phone in 2020, but of course this never happened. So when can we see the foldable iPhone debut?

A  Weibo leak in September 2020 claimed that Apple had ordered folding display prototypes from Samsung, but more recent rumors suggest that Apple has since parted ways with Samsung and is now working on a prototype display with LG.

As for specific dates, an internal source for the leaked John Prosser claims that Apple will not introduce the foldable iPhone until 2023, which is in line with the  predictions of investment firm EqualOcean and renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. .

Kuo claimed in January 2021 that if Apple could solve its "core technology and mass production problems," it would only start in 2023, but that "it hasn't started yet" and therefore plans could change.

However, despite Kuo's May 2021 follow-up note, which doubled its 2023 release date, the analyst revised its forecasts for the September 2021 note and suggested that the now-folding iPhone would not go on sale until the second half of 2024.

Mark Gurman from Bloomberg suggested that the foldable iPhone will not be released for another 2-3 years in 2021, which is in line with Kuo's forecast.

As for the screen leaks, Ross Young, a screen analyst with a flawless experience at the time of writing, also threw his hat in the ring. If you think that the "earliest" folding is not expected until 2023, the analyst initially thought there would be more releases in 2024, and that's bad, the updated forecast brings even worse news.

In a DSCC report, in late February 2022, Young  suggested that Apple's foldable plans be postponed until 2025 this time. It has been claimed that Apple does not want to continue Samsung's path and does not actually want to beta on the form factor with its fans. , but in true Apple style, launch only when the product is ready.

Since most of the signs pointing to the accumulation are still in the early stages of development, don't expect a release before 2023 that looks like a safer bet in 2024 or 2025.

If you can't wait that long, take a look at what we think is the best iPhone right now.

What will the foldable iPhone look like?

While many believe that Apple will follow the same path as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Huawei Mate X2 and produce a folding iPhone like a book in the middle, the current rumors detail a few different possibilities.

Given the durability, noticeable wrinkles on the foldable screens, and common problems with overall coating quality, one of Apple's prototypes may actually be more meaningful.

In a series of tweets in June 2020, Jon Prosser explained that the foldable iPhone may not consist of a single flexible screen. Instead, the leak claims that the "foldable" iPhone prototype consists of two separate displays connected by a central hinge.

Given all the challenges associated with the durability and cost of flexible display technology, this could be a smart alternative.

However, a Bloomberg report for early 2021 shows that Apple, like Samsung and others, is developing a prototype of an invisible hinged folding display, one step ahead of the two-screen design detailed by Prosser in 2020.

This is reflected in Prosser's February 2021 report, which apparently no longer thinks that Apple is going the dual-screen route, and now shows that Apple is interested in developing something similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 3-cover form factor.

The leak didn't go into much detail other than saying that the company was considering "fun colors" for the iPhone, which can be folded according to the colorful iPhone 12 series, but it's too early for Apple to complete it. decisions regarding color schemes.

According to equalOcean, an investment research firm based in Canada, Apple is working on a single-screen folding display reminiscent of the iPad mini when opened. The company predicts that Apple will introduce a foldable iPhone with a screen size of between 7.3 and 7.6 inches when opened, and will be compatible with the Apple Pencil.

Considering that fragile screens are compared to standard glass smartphones, the stylus concept, which works on a foldable screen, may seem a bit too "extraneous", but it's a hallmark of the new Galaxy Z Fold 3 thanks to its soft, retractable stylus tip. So it is definitely possible.

Competitive analyst  Ming-Chi Kuo reports on the 8-inch open display, which is slightly larger than the May 2021 forecast. In fact, Kuo goes one step further than talking about size, claiming that it will have an 8-inch QHD + flexible OLED display, and claiming that TPK will have the silver nanotel touch solution used in the HomePod Mini due to a number of advantages over SDCs. Y-Octa technology ".

Kuo believes that the latter could create a "long-term competitive advantage" for Apple in the foldable market, as it is subject to multiple folding, rolling shape factors, and so on. which is a "superior" option for future devices.

Regardless of the final form factor,  industry sources suggest that LG is working with Apple on a prototype for a foldable display, although it is not yet known whether it will be produced by LG or Apple.

Patents

 Jon Prosser's bizarre claims about the dual-screen iPhone are backed by an Apple patent that was patented by Apple in less than a day. The patent describes a device consisting of two separate panels connected by a fabric hinge system.

This is not the first patent to describe a foldable iPhone. A separate patent for the "flexible display device" was issued in 2018 and is a continuation of the patents granted in 2016, 2014 and 2011. There is also a separate 2016 patent that describes "electronic device and includes: bending body" bending reading; and a screen in a body that bends around a torsion axis. ”

There is also an interesting patent filed in 2018, which describes a triple-fold smartphone that can be folded in different directions, unlike the existing folders. According to the patent application, the double screen can be bent backwards or folded inwards at both ends, giving the user the freedom to use the folding screen as they wish.

It could also allow Apple to produce a smartphone-sized foldable device that can be folded into something the size of an iPad, and it's very similar to the futuristic tablets used in Westworld. Then it is an interesting concept.

Oh, and let's not forget Apple's patent, which describes a way to avoid damaging screens when bent. The patent for "flexible electronic devices" suggests the possibility of damage in cold conditions, and offers a convenient solution - "the part of the screen that coincides with the bending axis can be heated automatically by light pixels."

Another Patently Apple discovery demonstrates a new concept where a wrinkle does not fall below the middle of the screen, but when the device is folded, part of it remains open, acting as a second screen or acting as a row for notifications. whom. To the external screen of the Galaxy Z Flip.

Apple has also introduced patents detailing ways to avoid the problem of breaking folding screens. Such a patent describes a system that allows the screen to bend, not bend, to reduce the amount of pressure on the panel, and this is no different from the system found in the Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr.

In July 2021 , a patent called "Electronics with Adjustable Screen Windows" provides details about an expandable display that can turn off the camera block (and possibly other Face ID components) when not in use. While not specifically for the foldable iPhone, the expandable display concept isn't far from what  Android competitors use to combat the wrinkles that are present in most current folding devices.

The latest patent gives us more information on what to expect from folding. The patent for "electronic devices with fiber composite friction hinges" gives us a look at a thin but durable hinge.

Although the technology can be used in laptops, The patent specifically refers to foldable screens. The patent description states that "an electronic device may have a flexible layer, such as a flexible screen, that overlaps the hinge structure."

Of course, it should be noted that Apple, like most technology companies, is always applying for patents, and this is not an indication of what we will see on the upcoming iPhone or iPad, but it gives us a good idea of ​​the innovation. avenues. What does Apple think

Renders and concepts

Of course, it would not be a futuristic product to exaggerate an equally strange concept or two. Here is a selection of our favorites found online

This render, courtesy of LetsGoDigital, showcases a design similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3

And this by Roy Gilsing Den, on behalf of Foldable Phone News, demonstrates something similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.

How much will the foldable iPhone cost?

This is a difficult question to answer, not only because we don't know much about what the foldable iPhone has to offer, but also because we don't know when the foldable iPhone will hit the market.

Currently, folding smartphones are priced higher, with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 selling for £ 1,599 / $ 1,799 and Huawei's Mate X2 selling for around $ 1,985 / $ 2,785, but as with all technologies, the price will drop. .

We are also in the dark about what Apple can plan. There are numerous patents indicating that a number of prototypes are under construction, and the proposed design and features will largely reflect the price tag. It could be one of the 'cheap' foldable devices like the £ 949 / $ 999 Galaxy Z Flip 3, or it could be one of the larger foldable devices with a larger price tag.

It is impossible to say at this point, but most likely it will be a premium product that meets the high price tag.

2021 was a big year for Google's Pixel smartphones as chipsets switched from Qualcomm Snapdragon to Google's own Tensor chips.

So what will 2022 bring to the Pixel world? Here are a few things we want to see when the Pixel 7 arrives, along with all the news and rumors about the new devices.

What is the release date of Google Pixel 7?

Google has not yet confirmed that the Pixel 7 will be, but it seems likely when you consider the transition to new chips and the intense marketing campaign that currently promotes the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.

Over the past few generations, Google has committed to launching in October for major Pixel devices with cheaper versions, such as the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5a 5G, in August. There was also the Pixel 4a 5G, which was released in November 2020 and somehow went a step further.

So, if Google stays true to this example, you should expect the new Pixel 7 phones to go on sale in October 2022 with the new Android 13 app.

That's exactly what  Jon Prosser has predicted adding that the 7 and 7 Pros will launch with the PixelWatch a few months after the upcoming Pixel 6a.

How much will the Google Pixel 7 cost?

To get an idea of cash, you'll need to buy the latest Google devices when they arrive, here are the latest generation prices.

• Google Pixel 6: £ 599 / $ 599
• Google Pixel 6 Pro: £ 849/899
• Google Pixel 5: £ 599 / $ 699
• Google Pixel 4: £ 669 / $ 799
• Google Pixel 4XL: £ 829/899

As you can see, the standard Pixel looks priced at £ 599 / $ 599, while the Pro level, introduced in 2021, takes things a little further. While we could see the global shortage of chips and the increased production cost caused by Covid increase with the release of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, we would expect Google to maintain those prices. Fortunately, no.

What features will we see in Google Pixel 7?

Frankly, while the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are still new enough to go on sale, there is very little specific information about what you will see in their successors.

Design

With the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, Google has introduced a completely new design language for its smartphones. The Pixel 5's plastic body and more general aesthetics are gone, giving way to a premium structure and a bold look with a raised stripe on the back that acts as a body for the cameras.

We don't expect Google to try to reinvent the wheel with the Pixel 7 series, as most manufacturers want to maintain its consistent aesthetics for several generations, with Apple's iPhone being the most obvious example.

Not surprisingly, we saw this in the first images of the two phones that came with the permission of OnLeaks. The first is the regular Pixel 7, whose renderings are shared on the  CarHP website, and it features an incredibly similar design, albeit with a slightly tuned camera module that attaches directly to the phone's frame.

The report adds that the phone will measure 155.6 x 73.1 x 8.7 mm - which makes it a bit smaller in each size, which is a nice change from the larger Pixel 6.

That week, OnLeaks shared the renderings of the 7 Pro, this time with SmartPrix. Here is a similar story, a small camera bar adjustments, but no other radical repairs

The rough dimensions of 163 x 76.6 x 8.7 mm make it very close to the 6 Pro, but a bit thinner than usual.

Screen

The current Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have 6.4-inch AMOLED and 6.71 LTPO AMOLED displays, respectively. Both support HDR10 +, but the Pro version comes with a 120Hz refresh rate and higher resolution than its more budget siblings.

Google should have unique outlets for both levels, so we shouldn't be surprised to see these differences kept in the new models.

The OnLeaks report estimates that the 7 Pro could reduce screen size by 6.2 inches, while the 7 Pro will either stay the same or jump a little to 6.8 inches. We don't expect to see many other screen changes.

Screen industry expert Ross Young said something similar: the 6.3-inch screen drop for the 7, while the Pro remains the same 6.7-inch size. He adds that the Pro will reuse at least 120Hz LTPO AMOLED technology, although it is not clear whether we will see this decline return to normal 7.

We know that Google is working on selfie camera designs at the bottom of the screen. The company has so far filed at least two patents, the most recent of which we have included here. Discovered by  Lets Go Digital, this photo shows the same technology we see in similar cameras like the ZTE Axon 30 5G and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.

We do not expect Google to use this technology in the Pixel 7 series, and it is rumored that it will be more likely to appear on future phones such as the Pixel Fold or Pixel 8 and later models.

Second generation Google Tensor chips

One of the main points of discussion with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro was its use of Google's special Tensor chips. Like Apple and Samsung, which use Series A and Quad chips in their flagships (although Samsung still uses Qualcomm Snapdragon chips), Google has taken a big step to control the design and production of processors installed in its devices. .

Such an investment is undoubtedly long-term, and 9to5Google has already provided information about a potential clue to the arrival of 2nd generation Tensor chips when it sees the code name "Cloudripper" associated with the GS201 model number, which could represent the new silicone. Sounds a bit complicated, but there are different codes that manufacturers use during product development, and 9to5Google's detective work is a sure sign that the new Pixel will come with the latest versions of Tensor chips.

The same site has found more details since then; The code names Cheetah, Panther and Ravenclaw have been added to the Samsung modem, the Exynos Modem 5300, which will probably be used with the new Tensor chip.

9to5Google reports that Cheetah and Panther are referring to the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro with new big cat code names after previous generations used birds and fish. The third code name - Ravenclaw - is believed to be more than just a reference to Harry Potter. This is potentially a mix of the Pixel 6 Pro's code name "Raven" with the new device's cat paw theme, perhaps referring to a tester that uses a new Tensor 2 chip inside the Pixel 6 Pro.

No criteria have been set for any of these devices yet, so we don't know how they will be compared to their 2nd generation predecessors, but we expect Google to work on energy efficiency and performance improvements, as with any iteration. processors.

Camera

The first leaked images confirm the report we saw from Mishaal Rahman on the XDA Developers website that the Pixel 7 will be equipped with only two rear cameras. The code that Google analyzed for the Camera app shortly before the release of the Pixel 6 devices suggests that the 2022 Pixel will most likely have an ultra-wide camera like the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, but with a telephoto camera.

This is the same as the Pixel 6 with a telephoto reserved only for the Pro model, but in 2022 it looks a bit heavy compared to many potential competitors.

There's good reason to think that Rahman's code dive may not actually belong to the Pixel 7. First, although the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have separate code names (Oriole and Raven), this phone is listed with only one (Pipit). This is a name that other sources associate with a Pixel foldable phone instead of 7, so this may be a hint of the phone's camera features. Again, we were surprised to see a telephoto lens at the base of the Pixel 7 at this point.

What we want to see in Google Pixel 7

Although very little is known about the Pixel 7, we can take this opportunity to bring our containers to Google to beg and ask for a little more than we got with the Pixel 6.

One of the main improvements we want to see is the reduction in the size of the Pixel 6. At 207 g, it is a heavy animal, so weight loss will make the whole experience more enjoyable for the user.

The lack of a third camera on the standard Pixel 7 is a bit overlooked at this price point when competing with other phones' triple and even quad camera configurations, so we hope Google raises the stakes a bit. with the new model.

In our review of Google Pixel 6, we saw very good battery life, the only downside is the slow 30 W charging capabilities, which rarely reach these speeds. This can be done by increasing the speed types that are common on Chinese devices that can charge from 0% to 100% in less than 30 minutes.

The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro were excellent interpretations of the pure Google smartphone, so we're excited to see what happens in 2022 when the new versions are released. We will continue to update this article as more news arrives, so check back regularly. Until then, you can read our summary of the best news phones coming in 2022.

The iPhone 13 came out just a few months ago, but that doesn't mean Apple isn't working behind closed doors on the iPhone 14 - and given the surprising number of early leaks, we already know what the company is up to. Can plan the 2022 flagship series

In fact, if the rumors are true, it could be a more interesting upgrade than the one offered on the iPhone 13, with current rumors pointing to a potential redesign, the removal of the Face ID hook, and a massively improved camera design.

With that in mind, we describe in detail everything we need to know about the iPhone 14 right now, including what Apple expects from the 2022 flagship iPhone series, with the latest leaks and rumors, release dates and price forecasts.

When will the iPhone 14 be released date?

Apple only officially unveiled the iPhone 13 in September, so we're still a long way from launching the next-generation iPhone 14.

While this is not a strong rumor at the moment, iPhone releases are due in September, with the exception of 2020, which is in the middle of a pandemic.

We'll update this section when we hear more, so check back often for the latest details, and if you can't wait that long, take a look at our iPhone purchase guide.

How much will the iPhone 14 Price?

It is too early to make any specific price predictions, but the good news is that this year's iPhone 13 series will come at the same price as its 2022 chip shortage, even if it increases the price Apple has to pay. for components. predecessor

While that doesn't mean we expect the same from this year's models, it's a sign that Apple is doing its best to keep the iPhone at current prices.

For reference, the current iPhone range costs

• iPhone 13 Pro Max - £1,099/$1,099
• iPhone 13 Pro - £999/$999
• iPhone 13 - £799/$799
• iPhone 13 Mini - £699/$699
• iPhone 11 - £599/$599
• iPhone XR - £499/$499
• iPhone SE - £399/$399 

What to expect from the iPhone 14 series?

While it's potentially long enough to launch, we have a rough idea of what the iPhone 14 has to offer, and if the current rumors are to be believed, it will be an interesting idea.

Goodbye Mini, hello Max

We all knew it would come; After weak iPhone 12 mini sales and very similar expectations with the iPhone 13 mini, Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Apple will officially end the line in 2022.

Instead, the company will offer 6.1 and 6.7-inch versions of both the base and Pro models; This means that we can see the presentation of the new iPhone 14 Max together with the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Elec goes so far as to claim that the iPhone 14 Max can offer the same 120Hz refresh rate as the Pro series, but that depends on production costs and availability.

Recently, a 9to5Mac source also confirmed that the Mini is actually dead, with the internal code name D28 being replaced by the iPhone 14 Max - although there is no word on the possibility of ProMotion support.

Processed form factor

Our first look at the iPhone 14 comes 14 days before the launch of the iPhone 13, in September 2021, with the permission of the famous Apple leaker John Prosser, who posted a complete set of photos and a YouTube video depicting the iPhone line. Prosser claims to have seen it. He worked with rendering artist Ian Zelbo to showcase images and an updated design of the iPhone 14 Pro Max prototype.

According to Prosser and Renders, the iPhone 14 series can eliminate the impact of the camera and increase the overall thickness of the smartphone set by offering a straight tripod camera on the back.

This brings the design closer to a merger between the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 4 - a stronger comparison with the addition of circular sound controls that have not been seen in the range since the iPhone 4 era.

This is also the first iPhone where the glass sits on the antenna tapes instead of sticking out of the edges of the phone.

According to Prosser, this chassis will be made of titanium - we have already heard this from analysts at JP Morgan Chase.

Although the renderings show different colors, these colors were chosen by Prosser and his team to demonstrate the design. He insists the photos he sees belong to the golden iPhone 14 Pro Max, but suggests that the shade may change as soon as production begins this year.

However, recent reports indicate that a more familiar chassis, mostly featuring the iPhone 13 series, is on the way.

Leaked CAD images of the iPhone 14 Pro were shared from industry sources in March 2021 via  91Mobiles Renders show a redesigned Face ID notch on the front (discussed in more detail below), and the rest of the case looks the same as the iPhone 13 Pro.

Days later, leaky Max Weinbach posted pictures of the alleged iPhone 14 Pro schematics on Twitter, giving more context to the leaked CAD images published the day before.

According to the diagrams, we should expect a slightly larger camera shot - but still smaller than the 13 Pro Max - with minimal changes to the chassis, 0.1 mm shorter and slightly thinner than before.

While the changes are minimal, it does mean that the iPhone 13 Pro case will not be compatible with the 14 Pro - but we'll have to wait until it's launched to make sure.

No more Face ID slots

In March 2021, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo published forecasts for not only the iPhone 13, but also the iPhone 14 - but not specifically the 14, but the 2022 as the iPhone.

In a note to investors, the analyst suggested that some iPhone 14 models could cover the location of Face ID smartphones. It's available on every iPhone since the iPhone X, and although Apple has reduced the unit on the iPhone 13 by 20%, it doesn't seem to be complete yet.

According to Kuo, the Pro models will retain full Face ID functionality, instead offering an intersection with "drums" that provide an almost full-screen viewing experience for the front camera. The analyst then doubled the claim in late September 2021, suggesting that the Pro models would be separated from the notch for a single-hole camera.

It was later funded by the famous John Prosser, who described the opening of a hole in the center, showing a series of images allegedly "iPhone 14 Pro Max" a few days before the launch of the iPhone 13.

Mark Gurman of Bloomberg also appears to think that Apple will step down for the perforated camera in 2022, suggesting that a 'complete redesign' is on the way, and that Elec's unnamed industry sources are also pointing to a hole.

But you might think it's a round hole, but the leak shows the opposite. Leaker @dylandkt claims it will be "in pill form" instead, and although it won't go into further detail, it will be as close to a dual front-facing camera device as the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus.

Not to mention the second camera, the extra space will most likely be used for Face ID smartphones that are not affected by the distance from the notch.

What about the combination of the two? Screen analyst Ross Young believes so. An analyst on Twitter - with a 100% history - predicts a combination of circular bumps and pill-shaped cuts on the front of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. The leaker appeared in a tweet, even though he looked upside down - allegedly a pill-shaped cut on the left, a circular hole on the right

The young man also claims (in an already deleted tweet) that the hole will have a Face ID dot projector, and the tablet hole will have at least a front camera and a Face ID infrared camera.

9to5Mac sources suggest that the iPhone 14 Pro series may be slightly longer than previous iPhones to accommodate pill-shaped cuts.

The hole + pill combination has also appeared in previously mentioned leaked CAD renderings and schemes, indicating that Apple has decided to break a really pretty weird camera.

Twitter leak @MauriQHD has a slightly different approach; The leak suggests it won't have a notched or perforated camera, but it will have a full front camera on all four sides and a slightly thicker frame to accommodate Face ID technology.

ProMotion may still be exclusive to Pro

One of the key new features of the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max is the 120Hz ProMotion display, which offers smooth animations compared to the 60Hz display of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini.

Some had hoped that the improved technology would move to the rest of the line with the iPhone 14, as it did with the Sensor-Shift OIS, which was exclusive to the iPhone 12 Pro Max before the iPhone 13 series. Unlike The Elec offers.

According to unnamed supply chain sources, South Korea claims that 120Hz LTPO (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) OLED panels will be exclusive to Pro models, while standard models will use the same 60Hz LTPS (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon) OLED panels. 13 range.

However, analyst Jeff Pu's forecast for the beginning of 2022 falls short of The Elec's claim. Instead, the analyst suggests that the entire iPhone 14 series will have a refresh rate of 120 Hz, although it has a less established history than other analysts, but it's worth taking a pinch of salt.

Camera upgrades

As for the annual iPhone update, the camera improvements are almost obvious, but the iPhone 14 Pro series is said to host something special; New 1 / 1.3-inch 48 Mp CMOS image sensor for basic wide-angle lens. More impressive, the new sensor can offer hybrid operating modes to improve pixel size and light collection capabilities.

"The new 2H22 iPhone can support 48MP output and 12MP (four-cell collection output mode) output at the same time," Kuo said. Pixel aggregation (also known as pixel grouping) to improve quality is not a new concept for Android users, but it will be a first for the iPhone.

That's not all. Kuo claims that with the 12MP output, the new 2H22 iPhone's CIS pixel size has increased to about 2.5um, which is significantly larger than the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 and is larger than existing Android phones and close to the DSC level. " For reference, the iPhone 13 measures up to 1.7 um pixels, while the Pro series measures up to 1.9 um.

In addition to the improved image quality, Kuo believes that it will be able to capture 8K video, which is a big leap from the current 4K, although it does not disclose potential frame rates in detail.

Kuo reiterated this claim in late September, arguing that the changes would be exclusive to the "two high-end models."

The idea of ​​a 48Mp snapper with 8K video capabilities has been supported by analysts at Haitong International Securities and more recently by TrendForce analysts, giving the claim more credibility.

4nm chipset

At the heart of the iPhone 13, Apple's A15 Bionic is equipped with an improved 5nm process that offers efficiency and power improvements over the 5nm A14 Bionic - but the changes aren't as dramatic as the A14 Bionic.

However, according to TrendForce analysts, this will change with the iPhone 14.

The forecast, released in late 2020, claims that Apple's 2022 iPhone series will probably be equipped with a 4nm processor called the A16 Bionic, manufactured by TSMC.

The narrower width of the installation will allow for more significant improvements in performance and efficiency, which should not go unnoticed for battery life - improvements that are pleasing to the entire iPhone experience.

This was confirmed by a report by The Information, citing engineers familiar with the matter. According to the report, TSMC is not ready to ship smaller 3nm chipsets with the iPhone 14, but is still expected to overtake its competitors.

According to the Korean  Naver blog, citing unnamed sources, it is claimed that this will be combined with the increased 8 GB of RAM in the Pro models. Given that Apple tends to increase its RAM offer every two years and has received improvements with the latest iPhone 12 Pro series, there may be some truth in the claim, and this is likely to apply to the standard model as well.

This is not the only source pointing to growth; Jeit Pu, an analyst at Haitong International Securities, also suggests that the iPhone 14 Pro series will have 8 GB of RAM.

Interestingly, the  9to5Mac report from March 2022 shows that Apple can split the chipset offer between standard and Pro models, only the iPhone 14 Pro series gets the latest A16 Bionic.

Rumor has it that the standard iPhone 14 series may support an improved version of the A15 Bionic found on the iPhone 13, which may have an additional GPU core compared to the current offer. It is possible that Apple will mark it as A15X, but this has not yet been confirmed.

Ming-Chi Kuo  tweeted that in mid-March 2022, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 will stick to the Max A15 chipset, adding more confidence to the idea. This will no doubt make the Pro models more "professional", something that Apple has been having trouble with in recent years.

The first iPhone with eSIM only

Believe it or not, Apple introduced the eSIM feature with the iPhone XS / XR in 2018, and every iPhone since then has this feature. For those who don't know, this is a digital SIM card that allows you to activate the plan without the need for a physical SIM card, and it works with more than 100 operators around the world - perfect for getting cheap data tariffs on vacation.

So far, this is an optional feature, but whispers indicate that only the iPhone with eSIM will go on sale later this year.

According to MacRumors, Apple has advised US operators to prepare for the launch of only eSIM smartphones by September 2022, and at least one iPhone 14 may not have a traditional nano-SIM tray.

However, analysts believe that this will not be a complete transition, although it is inevitable. GlobalData analyst Emma Mohr-McClune suggests that Apple will only offer the eSIM version of the iPhone 14 through its showcases and operators who want to support traditional nano-SIM options, so don't throw away these SIM cards just yet.

Samsung has been one of the leading lights in the recent advent of folding screens.

It currently has two options in this category: the Galaxy Z Flip, which, as its name suggests, is a classic flip phone. The Galaxy Z Fold has a vertical hinge that you can open like a book.

Recently, new rumors have begun to emerge about the improvements we have seen. That's all we know about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 so far.

When will the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 be released?

Although rumors say this is true, Samsung has not even acknowledged the existence of the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Thus, we do not have any official information about the device, including its release date.

However, we have seen news that the new Fold will follow the example of previous models. This means that we should see the Galaxy Z Fold 4 in late August or early September 2022 - almost in conjunction with the Galaxy Z Flip 4.

To illustrate this, the ranking of previous models is as follows:

• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold – September 2019
• Galaxy Z Fold 2 – September 2020
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 – August 2021

How much will the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 cost?

As for foldable products, prices have been somewhat volatile. Most have started in significant quantities thanks to the incredibly innovative technology needed to make a folding screen possible.

As technology improved and processes improved, this led to a reduction in final costs for consumers. Of course, these are still high-end devices, and they are priced according to the situation.

To see how expensive the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is, you can find a review of previous models here.

• Galaxy Z Fold – £1,900/€1,949/$1,980
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 – £1,799/€1,899/$1,999
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 – £1,599/€1,799/$1,799

Apparently, there is a downward trend and it is expected to continue. Ross Young, an industry expert, said that Samsung has doubled production of the Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 for July (compared to the production of third-generation models in 2021). price reduction ”.

Will it be Z Fold 4 or just Fold 4?

An interesting wrinkle this year could change Samsung's naming convention. The company removed the letter "Z" from the names of its folding models in certain markets without explanation - some believe it could be a response to Russia's aggression against Ukraine, and sometimes to the "Z" symbol used by the Russian armed forces. .

In any case, there are clear assumptions that the company could completely abandon the letter 'Z' and call the next generation foldable Galaxy Fold 4. There is very little material evidence that any rebranding is on track worldwide.

What will be the features of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4?

You've probably guessed that no one but Samsung knows the exact features of the Fold 4. the second half of next year.

Key Features

In terms of chipset, there is a good chance that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor will move towards Fold 4, although both The Galox and Ice Universe actually predict that it will adopt the rumored 8 Gen 1+ instead, which will probably be announced later il.

Display

As for the folding screens, TheElec's report adds small notes to the phone's screens that they will remain at least the same size: 7.56 inches for the main screen and 6.19 inches for the external screen - 0.01 inches each. corresponding Z-Fold 3 screens. This was especially supported by Ross Young, a display expert who repeated the 6.19-inch external display estimates compared to the Fold 4's approaching Pixel foldable.

Although there may be a more subtle development here. Both TheGalox and yeux1122 state that the Z Fold 4 will feature an improved Ultra Fine Glass (UTG) on a folding screen. This will be a "big improvement" over the Galox and will have "improved rigidity and quality" compared to yeux1122, but the two do not agree on potential branding - Armor UTG or Super UTG.

Design

yeux1122 gave a separate account of a number of expected changes to the future model, including work on improving the hinge mechanism in the new Fold 4, a key design feature as you can imagine. Depending on how the upgrades go, it will result in a lighter chassis.

The good news is that, as we have seen in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, although the design has improved compared to previous versions, it is still a heavy and bulky device, so losing a few grams can go a long way to addressing this concern. can. .

TheElec report above says that Samsung is working to add an S Pen slot to the chassis of the Z Fold 4, as it did with the Galaxy S22 Ultra this year. This probably means that the stylus will come with the phone as standard.

Others say Samsung is moved by the idea. IceUniverse tweeted that the phone will not have an "internal S Pen", but will be "slightly smaller and thinner". It seems that Samsung is having a hard time inserting the stylus without making the phone as bulky as a whole, so it may still be an extra addition.

Rumor has it that Samsung will add enhanced dustproofing; This is again something that seems very important given the grinding that gravel and sand can bring to this hinge mechanism.

Cameras

Another critique of the Fold 3 was its camera under a weak screen. Yes, this means that you do not need a hole or notch, but if the results are unsatisfactory, it is of little use.

This means that we are a little worried about the rumors that the camera at the bottom of the screen will not only be inside, as in the Fold 3, but will also appear on the outside screen. We hope that Samsung has mastered this technique, because the results in Fold 3 were terrible.

However, the leakers agree that Samsung will try to improve the camera experience elsewhere in any case.

technoprices.com also notes an improved camera experience in the Galaxy Z Fold 4, but there are no details on how it compares to the OIS 12Mp f / 1.8 main camera, 12Mp f / 2.2 ultra wide camera and 12Mp f array. /2.4 telephoto camera with OIS + 2x optical magnification.

GalaxyClub has a little more detail and announces that the Z Fold 4 will receive a 10Mp 3x optical magnification sensor found in the S22 series. This is a slight reduction in the Z Fold 3's telephoto, but with higher magnification levels and other improvements, it's an improvement otherwise. The site also states that the phone will stick to a selfie camera with a 10MP cover.

The 3x magnification sensor may not be the only sensor from the S22 series. Dohyun Kim, who has been leaking since then, assumed that the Fold 4 would use a 108MP main camera, prompting his leaking colleague Chun to warn that the entire rear camera series would be the same as those found on the S22 Ultra - but it could happen. about. except for the periscope camera where the phone can fall along the way.

If so, that means a 108Mp main camera with a 1/1.33-inch ISOCELL HM3 sensor, the 10Mp 3x magnification mentioned above, and 12Mp ultra-wide.

Battery

The battery doesn’t seem to be getting any kind of boost in the Fold 4, which is a shame. GalaxyClub dug through a SafetyKorea battery certification to discover that the two cells in the Fold 4 (one for each side of the hinge) will have a combined rated capacity of 4270mAh - almost identical to the 4275mAh rated capacity of the Fold 3. That means that the advertised typical capacity will almost certainly be the same 4400mAh as the previous phone.

Folding smartphones have been making big waves in the last few years, and Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip is one of our favorites.

Now it seems that the Korean giant is already working hard for the next model, which we hope to come in 2022. This is what we know about Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 so far.

When will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 be released?

There is no official information about the Flip 4 from Samsung yet, but we have seen some rumors about possible dates, and we can look at previous models to give us an estimate.

Some news sites are referring to a Korean tech blogger who said on the country's social media site  Naver that the new model will follow the same release model as the previous models.

If we look at previous versions of the Galaxy Z Flip, there is no model.

• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip – Feb 2020
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 – August 2021

Most likely, the leaker is referring to the release date of Flip 3 in particular. This is particularly convincing, as Ross Young, a screen industry expert, said Samsung will begin shipping display panels for the Flip 4 in April. This marks the same month that the company began shipping Flip 3 on the same schedule last year. Interestingly, Samsung ordered 8.7 million panels out of 5.1 million last year, which it expects to sell more Flips this time around.

One tip seems to be that Samsung has adapted the Flip to launch with the Z Fold models. Flip therefore moved from 1 to 3, as it had to accompany the naming and numbering convention with Fold, which was released before the last Flip.

As of its launch in 2019, the Galaxy Z Fold will usually go on sale in September or late August, as in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. Based on this, it seems quite reasonable to assume that the Galaxy Z Flip 4 (and Z Fold 4) will go on sale in August / September 2022.

How much will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 cost?

Again, we don't have confirmed details about the new Flip, so we'll have to look at previous prices for guidance. That's how much they cost in the beginning

• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip – £1,300/€1,349/$1,380
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 – £949/$999/€1,049

This drop in prices between the first and second generations is most likely due to lower production costs. As with any first generation product, you usually pay a premium for having the latest technology.

Therefore, we recommend waiting for the second or third version, as it not only allows companies to solve problems, but also saves some money. It seems unlikely that Samsung will lower the price even further, as it is certainly one of the flagship phones these days, which is usually priced at £ 1,000 / € 1,000 / $ 1,000.

Will it be Z Flip 4 or Flip 4?

An interesting wrinkle this year could change Samsung's naming convention. The company has removed the letter "Z" from the names of its folding models in some markets without explanation - some believe it could be a response to Russia's aggression against Ukraine, the "Z" symbol is sometimes used by the Russian armed forces.

In any case, there are speculations that the company may completely abandon the letter "Z" and release a new generation of foldable Galaxy Flip 4. There is very little material evidence that any rebranding is on track worldwide

What new features will we see in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4?

Frankly, we are now in the realm of speculation and rumors, which we hope will soon collapse with the news from Samsung.

As mentioned above, a Korean tech leak spread rumors from various outlets, including the Hindustan Times and Slash Gear, reflecting some potential improvements to the Flip 4.

These include a lighter structure for the chassis while maintaining the same dimensions. This will be supported by an improved hinge, which is good news as it remains one of the potential weaknesses of any flap design - and this is one of the few areas where the Z Flip 3 is behind the latest Huawei P50 Pocket.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 has seen the introduction of IPX8 water resistance, but rumors are talking about improvements in this regard. We can only assume that this applies to dust permeability that is not present in Flip 3.

GSMArena said that Samsung will include a selfie camera at the bottom of the screen, but many prototypes are in active development, and some still have a hole camera aperture. This shows that Samsung is still testing the capabilities of the old approach and checking whether it is ready for prime-time.

Leaked chunvn8888 believes that the company has decided against the camera at the bottom of the screen, but adds that Samsung is considering switching to a triple rear camera this time. However, he warns that "quality [sic] will not increase sharply."

At the same time, this is the only leak that predicts a 10-20% increase in battery capacity, while other forecasters claim that the battery will remain the same size as the Flip 3. If the chassis retains its current dimensions, this makes sense. , but the battery life on the Flip 3 isn't amazing at all, so if you're a heavy user, you need to know where your charger is.

According to the Korean website Elec, Samsung does not change the screens much, or at least does not change the size. The site says that the internal folding screen will again be 6.7 inches, and the external screen will increase slightly from 1.83 inches to 1.9 inches. Chun guesses the same thing on the outside screen, but says it could be bigger than 2 inches.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor installed in this device may be upgraded to the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but in fact, as two leaks predicted, it looks more likely that the Flip 4 will use the upcoming 8 Gen 1+: Galox and  Ice Universe. 8 GB of memory and 128/256 GB of memory options will most likely remain the same.

It is too early, many of these rumors may change with the development of the device. We'll update this article as more information becomes available, so be sure to check back to see what Samsung has to offer.

Until then, take a look at our guide to the best phones to come out in 2022.

There are rumors that Huawei is preparing for a new version of the popular smartphone series Mate Mate 50. This is despite the fact that the latest P-series phones were released only after a widespread path.

However, we have collected the latest news and rumors about the Huawei Mate 50 series, including whether it is possible and when it will go on sale.

When will the Huawei p50 be released?

Huawei has seen some cuts in its presentation schedule in 2021 and 2022. The long-awaited P50 Pro was expected to be announced in the spring of last year, but after numerous delays, it did not go on sale in China until August 2021 and reached the international level. significantly later, in January 2022.

This led several news outlets to report that the Mate 50 could be completely dismantled, in part due to a global chip shortage, as well as an ongoing war between the Chinese company and the US government. Others said it was just too late and that it would come at some point in 2022.

A silver lining that believes in this theory (as noted by IThome) is that Huawei Consumer Business Group Vice President for Strategic Marketing Li Changzhou answered a fan who asked about the Mate 50 line. presentation of the company's Spring Smart Office on February 27, 2022.

"Mate 50 is coming, but not now. There are many other good products worth paying attention to right now," Li said, translating from Chinese. While this statement is not completely reset while we wait for the presentation of the Mate 50, we know that we can wait for at least one point.

Typically, the Mate series is introduced in September or a little later, with the last two generations debuting in the fall.

• Mate 40: November 2020
• Mate 30: September 2019

ITHome had previously suggested that Huawei could plan a release in the first quarter of 2022, but the days leading up to March are already shortening and there are no other signs of an imminent release; Many are speculating that the Mate 50 series will be the end of the year, with more H2 to come.

Like the P50 Pro, its first release is likely to be available only in China, or at least in China.

How much will the Huawei Mate 50 cost?

There is no official price yet, we will have to look at the last generation for some tips.

Huawei offers three versions of the Mate 40 series: 40, 40 Pro and 40 Pro +, but not all are available in all regions. Due to a US ban, you cannot buy Huawei phones in North America unless you import them yourself. Therefore, taxes, customs duties, etc. For some reason, prices can be difficult to predict.

The only mobile phone available in the UK, Europe and Australia is the Mate 40 Pro, which will give you back the following amount.

• Huawei Mate 40 Pro: £1,099/€1,199.99/AU$1,999

In China, as you would expect, the whole range is available at the following prices

• Huawei Mate 40: ¥4,999 (approx. £574/US$780/€675)
• Huawei Mate 40 Pro: ¥5,899 (approx. £677/$920/€796)
• Huawei Mate 40 Pro+: ¥8,499 (approx. £975/$1,330/€1,147)

From this we can assume that the Huawei Mate 50 models can cost the following.

• Huawei Mate 50: £799/US$1099/€939
• Huawei Mate 50 Pro: £1,099/$1,500/€1199.99
• Huawei Mate 50 Pro+: £1,299/$1,775/€1,499

What new features will we see in Huawei Mate 50 devices?

There is not much to say at this point because the Mate 50 is essentially legendary. However, we were still able to find a few rumors from other reporters who had an idea of ​​what you would see when the phones finally started.

GizmoChina says the Mate 50 series will run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, but under US government sanctions, Huawei is expected to offer only 4G instead of 5G like Snapdragon. The 888 4G powers the P50 Pro in most markets. The Mate 40 Pro offers 5G because Huawei uses its own Kirin 9000 processors.

Of course, it is not clear whether it will switch to Qualcomm Snapdragon silicon for future generations. The company has already said it has set up its own plant to avoid relying on a third-party chip maker such as TSMC.

The bad news is that it will not be able to produce chips for phones for a while. According to an FT report, the company will begin production of 28 nm chips for IoT devices, indicating that it still has a long way to go before producing the 7 nm (and smaller) processors used in today's phones.

GizmoChina also says that its Mate 50 devices will feature LTPO displays that will be compatible with other new phones that will adopt the technology in 2022, such as the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Realme's GT 2 Pro. These panels are more energy efficient than existing panels, have potentially higher maximum brightness, and offer better variable refresh rates up to 120 Hz.

We've seen similar rumors from industry display veteran David Naranjo, who tweeted a list of phones expected to use LTPO panels in 2022.

Perhaps the strangest rumor from GizmoChina is that the Mate 50 will support text connection (SMS) for texts when normal mobile networks are not available. It sounds like a cracker to us, so you can take it with a big pinch of salt.

An interesting idea comes in the form of a concept video for the Huawei Mate 50 Pro, created by designer HoilNDI. He used various leaks and speculations about the upcoming model to bring together the excellent video, which features a triple camera section on the back of the new phone and two large circles that host an LED flash and a depth camera area.

It is not yet clear whether the Huawei Mate 50 will look like this, but we hope that it will not take long to learn.

One thing is for sure, until the Chinese company makes peace with the United States and regains access to the Google Play Store and all the apps there, it will be an excellent device that lags behind the lack of the best apps that most people use. (Outside China, ie).

Read our guide on the best smartphones to see what other devices the Huawei Mate 50 series should take.

The Motorola Razr name has been around for many years, but in 2019 the company revived the classic flip phone with a folding screen.

The first model was followed by the 5G version in 2020, but we haven't heard much about a potential successor since then. Now one looks on the road, so what should we expect from the Motorola Razr 2022? This is all the news and rumors we have found so far

When will the next Motorola Razr be released?

After the first two generations of silence, there were some doubts that Motorola was abandoning the Razr models. However, Lenovo General Manager Chen Jin, who is in charge of Motorola's smartphones, recently shared the following statements on Weibo (translated from Chinese via Google Translate)

Once upon a time, on November 14, 2019, Motorola introduced the new Razr. As the industry's first vertical folding screen smartphone, it has once again led the industry's innovation.

Developed independently by the Lenovo Research Institute, the star orbital hinge technology was the only flawless and wrinkle-free hinge technology in the world at that time. I think innovation has always been the driving force of the industry.

We hope that we do not whistle, we take more measures, including the silent preparation for the third generation Razr foldable screen phone: better chip computing power, better human-machine interface and, of course, a more atmospheric look. This product, we are doing our part, will be the first product sold in the Chinese market! ”

Although we know that Motorola is currently working on a new generation Razr, at the time of writing there is no official release date. So we need to look at previous models to give us some tips. This is when they debuted

• Motorola Razr – November 2019
• Motorola Razr 5G – September 2020

Frankly, we didn't see a new Razr in the fall of 2021, so Motorola will use a new release window, or it means that the new Razr will come at the same time as its predecessors, but with a two-year break. - How long will the expected Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 last?

How much will the Motorola Razr 2022 cost?

As of the release date, there is no official price for the Motorola Razr 2022, so let's start with the initial versions again. Here is the price when they are released

Motorola Razr – £1,499/$1,499/€1,599
Motorola Razr 5G – £1,399/$1,399/€1,499

The Motorola Razr was one of the first devices to have a folding display, and this can be seen in the amazing prices of the first two generations. These themselves can be compared to their Samsung Galaxy Z Flip counterparts, which started at such prices, but dropped to £ 949 / $ 999 / € 1,049 / € 84,999, which is more acceptable for the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3.

If Motorola wants the new Razr to be successful, it has to live up to those numbers, as Samsung has indeed left its mark on the new flip-phone space.

What about the 2022 Motorola Razr specification and design?

Almost nothing is known about the features of the new generation Motorola Razr. However, Chen Jin's above-mentioned article points to several things. It's about the "more advanced chip computing power" we expect from any new flagship device.

The Motorola Razr 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 5G, a solid-state chip, but not the same as the 800 series, which has formed the basis of most premium devices over the past few years. Hopefully, Motorola will adopt the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 platform this year, or at least use last year's Snapdragon 888.

The 8th Gen 1 is what XDA Developers predicted in one of the first leaks for the device. Sources at the site say it will be combined with 6GB, 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB, 256GB or 512GB of memory.

This second storage option was first confirmed by Lenovo's CEO Chen Jin in another post on Weibo. He said Motorola's sales of the 512GB S30 Champion Edition "exceeded our expectations", adding that "the next new product, including the new folding screen mobile phones, will be a 512GB version that will surprise everyone."

The same XDA Developers report says the main screen will be 6.7 inches - larger than the previous 6.2-inch panel - and is believed to be 120 Hz, Full HD + AMOLED. At the top of this screen will be a selfie camera with a small centered aperture, which is expected to be 32Mp.

The main rear camera will probably be combined with a 50Mp and 13Mp ultra wide lens.

Finally, while the details are not yet clear, you can expect a kind of external display to return, and support for both NFC and UWB - aka ultra-broadband, deployment technology that engages the Apple AirTag tracker, as well as smart features. home programs.

Another element mentioned in the Weibo article is the "better human-machine interface", which can mean a software experience. The Razr 5G was shipped with Android 10 using Motorola's usually clean and simple Android skin, so it was a good start. It is not yet clear whether Jin is talking about the potential use of Android 12 or the new Lenovo / Motorola version of this OS. Of course, we are at the mercy of translations here, so it can also refer to the physical design of the device.

Perhaps my favorite part of the post is Jin's latest development, which he concludes as a "more atmospheric look." We're not sure what that means, but if it's a great new design for the job, it would be nice, even if the Razr 5G is already a very nice device.

One external possibility is that Motorola plans to adopt a design that appears in a recent patent. The patented design, discovered by MySmartPrice, is for a folding flip phone to keep the screen out when the phone is closed.

This is similar to the hooded version of the first generation Huawei Mate X, which also folds to the side. Huawei (probably reasonably far) has moved away from this design, but only partially wants to have an outside screen with scratches and other damage. As surprising as this design may be, we hope it's not what Motorola used for the next Razr.

We will update this article as soon as more news arrives. Therefore, be sure to check it periodically. In the meantime, take a look at our guide to the best phones and the best phones to come in 2022 to see which models are worth your attention.
