Weibo, like any other social media site, has its swarms of hornets occasionally. When it comes to mobile hardware leaks, disbelief can especially be prone to manifesting in awful ways.Take all of the rumors we’ve been compiling about a certain version of the Meizu PRO 6. It now seems that these photo leaks, previously connected to that device, have been implicated in a ...

When MediaTek held an event to announce the real arrival of its Helio X20 SoC, it also invited Chinese manufacturer Meizu to spill the news that it had taken first dibs on the Helio X25 for its PRO 6 smartphone. But with a benchmark showing off a PRO 6 running with an Exynos 8890, we’re left stumped on how Meizu will handle the launch of this darn phone.Well, we’re hearing just a bit more about ...

If there was one good thing that came out of the Snapdragon 810 overheating debacle last year, it was the global consistency of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. For the first time in half a decade, a flagship Samsung smartphone was created equal for all its buyers, eliminating the possibility of region envy.But now, Qualcomm is decidedly back in ...

Update: We have edited our headline from “Quick Charge 3.0 won’t be on Galaxy S7, S7 edge because of Exynos support” to reflect that neither Qualcomm nor Samsung have stated why Quick Charge 2.0 is being used on Snapdragon 820-equipped Galaxy S7 and S7 edge phones. Pocketnow regrets the error.So, you have the new Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge and are excited about its larger, supposedly longer-lasting ...

With Qualcomm pretty clearly out of contention for the title of last year’s fastest and most reliable smartphone SoC, due to Snapdragon 810’s highly publicized overheating woes and SD808’s sub-flagship capabilities, you have to figure Samsung and Apple ultimately disputed the crown.Technically, Nvidia could have posed a threat too, but its otherwise impressive

If you decide to get a Samsung Galaxy S7 next year, you’ll have to deal with what our friends with the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus had to earlier on this season. Samsung is said to only have production capacity for so many Exynos 8890 chipsets that it will only appear on

Yes we know, no matter how much praise Apple’s processors receive, it’s still something hard to believe. Surely Apple beat everyone to the 64-bit processor punch, but we wonder just how useful that is with the meager amount of RAM found in most of its products. Still, using iPhones proves that Apple’s processors are top notch, and benchmarks continue to agree, even when compared to 2016 offerings.Samsung has pretty much unveiled its new Exynos 8990, and so has Qualcomm with its Snapdragon 820. Both of these processors join the 2016 line-up of power that’s also owned ...
