androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-31 01:06:03

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Smartphones shipped in Q2 2025 with an average of 3.19 cameras, down from 3.37 a year earlier.

Phone makers spent many years racing to cram as many cameras into their handsets as possible. At one point, it wasn’t unusual to see four lenses stuck on the back of a flagship, and it was

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-31 13:27:41

TL;DR Realme has revealed a concept phone with a 15,000mAh battery. The phone is less than 9mm thick and can last for up to five days. The device uses a battery with 100% silicon content, effectively ruling out mass production for now. The advent of silicon-carbon batteries has resulted in many smartphone brands offering bigger batteries than ever before.
