Joe Maring / Digital Trends No, you didn’t read the headline incorrectly. Although we expect Apple to release the iPhone 16 series later this year, there’s already a new rumor about the 2025 iPhone 17 — and it’s a potentially big one. Instant Digital, who is known for leaking iPhone information, recently posted a new iPhone 17 rumor on the Chinese social network Weibo claiming that Apple has developed a new display technology for the iPhone 17. Specifically, it’s one that could greatly reduce reflections and…

Samsung has been granted patents for its tri-fold and rollable display technologies by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The South Korean tech conglomerate previously showed off an advanced tri-fold displays at CES 2022, which showed a home screen on the first panel and a wide view of a video streaming app on the second and third panels. The company has also been granted a patent for a display that can be extended by unrolling it out of a compact enclosure.The first patent describes the…

Samsung's new Galaxy A55 brings several improvements over the Galaxy A54, but looking at the official spec sheets, you would think the display isn't one of them. Granted, the A55 has a slightly larger 6.6-inch panel instead of a 6.4-inch one, but that results in a lower pixel density. Otherwise, the two phones share the same Super AMOLED display type with HDR10+, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 1,000 nits — on paper, at least. It turns out that the Galaxy A55's display is vastly superior to the Galaxy A54's and…

iPhone 17 anti-reflective display detailsThe outer glass of the iPhone 17 series will reportedly be made of a super-hard AR layer, according to Chinese Weibo leaker Instant Digital. The roughly translated text of the Weibo post says that the iPhone 17 series will be “more scratch-resistant” than you can think.It adds that Apple has bought coating equipment for billions in Japan but it is now being handed over to China’s supply chain. This will however not be used for the iPhone 16 series that is expected to launch later…

Google's Pixel 8a is expected to launch in May at the annual I/O developer conference. We've already seen the renders of the Pixel 7a successor and now more details about the handset have surfaced on the Web. The Pixel 8a is said to come with a higher refresh rate display compared to the older model. It could be powered by the Tensor G3 chipset to match the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. The Pixel 8a is expected to include support for wireless charging and DisplayPort output.Android Authority, citing an inside source, claims…

The Pixel 8a is anything but official yet that isn’t stopping small details about the device from trickling out, like the higher refresh rate and other display improvements coming to Google’s more affordable Pixel phone. The Pixel ‘A’ series of devices has always been about shaving off some of the price tag by either lessening some of the specs or removing some features. Or both. Google isn’t necessarily straying from that approach entirely with the upcoming Pixel 8a. However, it does seem to be including improvements…

Samsung Interested in using a PC monitor as a TV? With most TV consumption centered around streaming services, it’s certainly a simple and convenient way to enjoy your favorite TV content on a slightly different style of display. You can use a TV as a monitor, so why not use a monitor as a TV? They don’t tend to be as big, and you’ll want to sit a bit closer to them due to their design choices, but if you want to watch TV or movies on your monitor, you can absolutely do it with no problem. If you want to replace your…

If you've been on the tech-related internet for any amount of time, you probably know that Apple invented everything and all Android device makers like Samsung ever do is copy the almighty Cupertino-based company (yes that was sarcasm, take it as such). Today a disturbing rumor has surfaced - disturbing for those who hold the belief described above, that is. It seems like Apple has gotten very inspired by Samsung's anti-reflective Gorilla Glass Armor fitted to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, so much so that it will have one too…

If this iPhone 17 rumor is correct, Apple’s iPhone 16 won’t have a display innovation that would match one of the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s best new display features. I’m not talking about the actual OLED panel on the iPhone 16. The OLED screen should offer one of the best experiences in the industry. I’m talking about durability and reflectiveness.The Galaxy S24 Ultra has a new Corning Glass Armor display glass panel that reduces reflections by 75%. That alone is a huge deal, although it’s something you might not…
