OnePlus is launching the Nord CE4 in India on April 1. The phone will be sporting the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC, and if you were wondering what kind of performance to expect from it, you're in luck - a Nord CE4 prototype just ran Geekbench 6, and is thus now listed in the benchmark's online database.

2024 iPad Pro to have smaller bezels

A few hours ago a rumor surfaced saying the entire iPhone 16 family will come with thinner bezels, and now the same is said to be true of the upcoming iPad Pro models. Apple sure seems to be in a bezel-trimming mood this year. Apple is widely expected to introduce a new iPad Pro generation either towards the end of this month or in April. These tablets are now rumored to come with 7.12mm bezels (on the 11" model) and 7.08mm bezels (on the 12.9" tablet). That would make their bezels between 10% and 15% smaller than…

Samsung Galaxy A55 in for review

Say hello to what is going to be a lot of people's next phone - the Samsung Galaxy A55.

Upcoming iPad Pro and Air may offer matte and glossy display options

A tipster on Weibo with still-questionable accuracy claims that Apple suppliers have already sent iPad Air samples to the US and it is possible that the device will be offered in two variants - with a glossy or matte screen. The same applies to the upcoming iPad Pro. However, it's unclear whether the tipster meant a full-fledged matte finish or an anti-reflective coating like the one on the Pro Display XDR from 2019. The texture uses nano-texture glass, forming an anti-reflective pattern and mitigating that…

Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G and Note 40 Pro+ 5G land in India next month

This past Monday Infinix made the Note 40 Pro 5G official alongside the Note 40 Pro+ 5G at a special event in Malaysia. It was a global launch, but of course each market where Infinix is present might start sales at a different time. In India, for example, the two devices are set to arrive in April, as you can see from the promotional image below. The poster doesn't mention both handsets, but uses the word "series" and so it's pretty clear that they'll both be making it. The phones will be sold on Flipkart and in…
