When it comes to buying a new phone, there are many factors to be considered. Some consumers want a phone with great camera features, a high-performing device for gaming, the aesthetic looks, or simply just want a simple phone that functions well. But which of these are the most important according to you?

Looks like the iOS 18 have been a very interesting update so far. Recently, A Reddit user noticed Apple's latest feature that concerns your battery and charger. So, what should you know about it?

When it comes to software, you sometimes get improved performance and new features. But an update could also screw some things over unintentionally, like the latest Google app update for Pixel devices.

When it comes to technologies for mobile devices, factors like size and existing tech limit what companies can do. For instance, you can't fit an 8000mAh battery on a smartphone unless you're willing to increase the size. But Samsung is working on improving battery capacity for its mobile devices.

As you know, Samsung introduced its latest Galaxy S23 series and Galaxy Book3 devices at the recent Unpacked event. But did you know they also teased a mixed-reality headset? Well, sources have found a certified component for the product. So, could it be launching soon than expected?

Following years of users’ requests, Apple finally introduced the Always On Display feature on the iPhone 14 Pro series. However, its current implementation leaves a lot to be desired, with many users complaining about battery drain issues and that the Always-On Display looks too similar to when the iPhone is active.

Well, based on the latest iOS 16.2 beta version, it looks like the Always-On Display feature will improve in the next iOS update. In the aforementioned beta version, Apple added new options to the feature, giving users the choice of whether to show wallpaper and notifications when Always-On Display is activated.

Be it a smartphone, tablet or laptop, all electronics need one key component to function - the battery. Battery tech has slowly been improving over the years, but there haven't been any significant breakthroughs for a long time. However, Xiaomi did announce something big in battery tech.

Although Xiaomi already has its 120W fast charging technology out in the wild, it still planning to release a new 100W charging technology. According to the source, we could be seeing it on smartphones that are coming out in the second half of 2022.

The maximum charging power found on current commercial smartphones is 120W. Although it was impressive back in the day, it has become a mainstream feature, especially for Xiaomi devices. Now, it would be nice to see something that can spice up the smartphone charging game. According to the latest information from insiders, 2022 will be the year when we see devices with 200W fast charging, and they specifically mentioned that there should be at least two such devices.

Not long after launching the Huawei Mate 40 series last year, Huawei claimed that it had 120W and 200W fast-charging tech. At the time, those power ratings were allegedly not suitable for mobile devices. But now the company has one that would be suitable.
