With the new Dimensity 1050 SoC platform, MediaTek is launching its first 5G processor with an integrated modem that supports mmWave and Sub-6 5G. As a result, users will experience higher average 5G performance with potentially extraordinary speed spikes if a mmWave base station is in line of sight. In the USA, many are installed…
Half of the year has already gone, and it’s time to check which five phones are the best at slightly different price points, going from $899 to $1199. We use many criteria, including the industrial design, speed, camera prowess, and user experience, among other things. We evaluated the camera potential using our proprietary Ubergizmo CAMERA…
With the new Honor 70 series launch in China, we’re getting a peek at what’s coming later to the global market from the company: three new phones priced between $400 and $650, the Honor 70, Honor 70 Pro, and Honor 70 Pro+.

The Netherlands-based startup Lightyear has unveiled an electric car with five square meters of built-in solar panels and therefore does not need to be plugged in to charge. In an optimum situation, a range of 43 miles is achievable daily. The integration of solar panels directly into the car’s chassis is something EV enthusiasts have…
Japan has turned to the oceans to produce continuous, reliable, green energy. After years of development and real-world testing, the “Kairyu” (Seadragon?) underwater power generator will enter its commercial phase in the next decade. Kairyu was a demonstrator designed to harness energy from undersea currents, which is different from tidal power generators. Undersea currents have…
During its recent WWDC developer conference, Apple mentioned that the next-generation Apple M2 processor CPU cluster would be “18%” faster than the current M1. Numbers found in the Geekbench database are the first 3rd party data points that corroborate Apple’s claim. It’s not surprising because chipmakers usually provide reliable and accurate performance estimates for their…
