Xiaomi 17 series arrives with secondary screens and enormous batteries

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-10-09 03:51:38

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. A critic might accuse Xiaomi of copying Apple a little too closely in its launch event for the Xiaomi 17 phones, while a fan might say the company is trying to beat Apple at its own game. Either way, it’s pretty clear that the Chinese giant had Cupertino in mind when announcing its new flagship line, even if the phones themselves are more unique, helped by a second screen found on the back of its two new Pro

I’m glad Pixels don’t use Snapdragon. Here’s why!

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-09 07:02:17

Of all the hills I’m willing to die on, this might be the one that gets the most pushback. It’s a controversial opinion, I know, but I’m going to say it anyway: I’m glad Google Pixel phones don’t use Snapdragon processors. Let me start my defense with a little analogy. Imagine that you’re in the market for a new vehicle. Your goal is to take your family on long road trips, exploring national parks and camping under the stars. You need space for people, beds, and maybe even a small kitchenette.

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-09 06:00:06

Apple's iPhone 17 has arrived, along with the super skinny iPhone Air and the powerful iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. You may be wondering whether to get the shiny new baseline iPhone 17 or buy last year's iPhone 16, which now costs $100 less. To help with that decision, here's a breakdown of how the two handsets compare. The iPhone 17 starts at $829 (or $799 if you activate with a carrier), the same as the iPhone 16 when it came out -- with the caveat that the iPhone 17 starts with a higher 256

With a slim design that makes people around you say, “Wow,” it’s unlike any iPhone we’ve seen before. At just 5.6mm thick and weighing 165g, the iPhone Air is a breeze to hold, making it a very comfortable smartphone to use throughout the day.

Why iPhone 17 Pro doesn’t have Apple’s new C1X modem

History of Telecommunications T-Carrier

Few aspects of commercial telecommunications have quite the allure of the T-carrier. Well, to me, at least, but then I have very specific interests. T-carrier has this odd, enduring influence on discussion of internet connections. I remember that for years, some video game installers (perhaps those using Gamespy?) used to ask what kind of internet service you had, with T1 as the "highest" option. The Steam Hardware Survey included T1 among the options for a long time. This was odd, in a lot of

Smartphone Cameras Go Hyperspectral

The human eye is mostly sensitive to only three bands of the electromagnetic spectrum—red, green, and blue (RGB)—in the visible range. In contrast, off-the-shelf smartphone camera sensors are potentially hyperspectral in nature, meaning that each pixel is sensitive to far more spectral bands. Now scientists have found a simple way for any conventional smartphone camera to serve as a hyperspectral sensor—by placing a card with a chart on it within its view.
