The Fairphone 6 leaks ahead of its rumored late June launch

The Fairphone 6 is widely expected to get an official unveiling in the next week but the leadup to the repairable smartphone’s launch has been leakier than a bad tap. In a new report from WinFuture , purported images of the Fairphone 6 show that it’ll feature two back covers: one for the main body covering the cameras, and a lower panel that can be easily removed by loosening a few visible screws. Doing so grants access to the battery, which WinFuture notes is not glued down, though swapping it

I Tried the Future of Smart Glasses at WWDC. They Weren't Made by Apple

On a bright sunny day in Cupertino, California, I crammed into my seat, unlocked my laptop, connected to Wi-Fi and checked in on Slack. Apple's WWDC keynote was about to begin. This time, however, I added a new step to my live event coverage routine. I plugged the Xreal One Pro glasses into my MacBook and activated the dimmer. They became my smart display-enabled sunglasses. For the next 2 hours, I covered Apple's announcements wearing Xreal's display glasses, and they worked better than I expe

As a Pixel fan, I tried the new iPhone app made by Google’s camera team, and it’s fantastic

Joe Maring / Android Authority In the Android world, it’s hard to beat Google’s Pixel phones for consistent, lifelike photos. While the HDR-ified look may not be for everyone, there’s no questioning the sheer reliability of a Pixel camera. When you tap the shutter button, you can all but guarantee you’ll get a pleasing and natural picture every single time. That camera experience is one of the main reasons I like using Pixels so much, and thanks to a new app called Indigo, you can now get some

Why I'm using an Android phone with a 200MP lens instead of my $3,500 Sony camera

ZDNET's key takeaways The Xiaomi 15 Ultra sees improvements in almost all the right places, with a 200MP periscope lens and a more durable design. The camera configuration is still one of the most competitive ones on the market. If you're in the US, you'll have to pay to play, with conversions nearing $1,555. View now at Mi The moment I unboxed the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, I knew I was in trouble. While the flagship had launched in China earlier this year, its global debut at Mobile World Congress (M

Minecraft now has a photo mode with Vibrant Memories

Photo modes are a pretty common feature for video games where players go bounding around an interesting open world. Today, Minecraft joined their ranks, making an in-game camera available in the Minecraft Marketplace as a free add-on called Vibrant Memories. The feature requires a copy of Minecraft's Bedrock Edition on any platform; the Java version doesn't appear to support the camera. As well as capturing the moment as-is and saving particular camera angles to reuse later, Vibrant Memories wi

Adobe Project Indigo is a new photo app from former Pixel camera engineers

Adobe launched its own take on how smartphone cameras should work this week with Project Indigo, a new iPhone camera app from some of the team behind the Pixel camera. The project combines the computational photography techniques that engineers Marc Levoy and Florian Kainz popularized at Google, with pro controls and new AI-powered features. In their announcement of the new app, Levoy and Kainz style Project Indigo as the better answer to typical smartphone camera complaints of limited controls

Indigo is a new camera app by the guys who made the Pixel and Google Camera apps

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR Adobe has launched the Indigo camera app on the Apple App Store. Two of the influential minds behind the Google and Pixel Camera apps are also working on Indigo. The team says they’re planning an Android version of the app, but there’s no word on a release window. The Pixel Camera app (formerly Google Camera) is perhaps the most influential smartphone camera app ever made. That was in large part due to the HDR+ processing and Super Res Zoom for improve

If this OnePlus 15 camera leak is true, OnePlus might be making a critical mistake

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The OnePlus 13 is, without a doubt, one of my favorite Android phones available today — and for a multitude of reasons. Its design is great, performance is outstanding, and battery life is amazing. Unlike a lot of past OnePlus phones, the OnePlus 13’s cameras are just as good (if not better) than the rest of its flagship competitors. And that’s why the latest OnePlus 15 leak has me worried. Earlier this week, a well-known leaker teased a few details about the u

See the hacked iPhone camera Apple built to shoot real race scenes for F1 The Movie

Talk about “shot on iPhone”. For its upcoming F1 movie, Apple tasked its engineers with building a custom camera module, using iPhone parts, to replace the onboard cameras that are used for F1 live race broadcasts. Here’s a closer look at the rig. But… why? As detailed by Wired (via MacMagazine), when director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and cinematographer Claudio Miranda (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) told Apple they wanted authentic, driver-perspective shots for the film, the

The best instant cameras you can buy right now

Even with the ability to take excellent photos with our phones and instantly share them across the world, there’s something magical about the old-school instant camera. With just a click of a button, you can capture a moment in a photo that you can see and touch almost immediately. Images captured by an instant camera aren’t as pristine or perfect as those produced by modern digital cameras, but their soft images and imperfections are often a big part of the allure. Yet not all instant cameras

Fujifilm X half: Is it the perfect family camera?

When Fujifilm announced the Fujifilm X half, the internet was literally divided into two halves. Some people were disappointed that it offered limited features for its high price, while others were delighted and found it intriguing. In fact, some even predicted that the X half would sell out quickly. As someone who used Fujifilm cameras for a decade, starting with a X-T1 and then moving on to the X100F, X-H1, X-T30, and X100V, and finally switching to a Leica M11, I have some thoughts about the

Google improves camera playback in Home app, but some are still frustrated

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Home 3.33 app update claims to improve camera timeline scrubbing on Android with better framerate and loading.

Google has rolled out a new update to its Google Home app that targets one of the most persistent complai

Gardyn Indoor Hydroponic Garden Review: Better Growing Through AI

I'm in the midst of putting together a buying guide of indoor vertical gardening systems, and the Gardyn—the 30-plant Home 4.0, to be exact—was the first tester to arrive at my house. I had it unboxed and set up within a couple of hours, lights on and water pump running. I'm already a pro! I thought. Sure enough, within a couple of weeks, all of Gardyn's proprietary seed-filled yCubes had sprouted, and a couple of weeks after that, I was harvesting bowlfuls of herbs and salad greens. Even thoug

How Apple Created a Custom iPhone Camera for ‘F1’

You can't mount a cinema camera on a Formula One race car. These nimble vehicles are built to precise specs, and capturing racing footage from the driver’s point of view isn’t as simple as slapping a GoPro on and calling it a day. That’s the challenge Apple faced after Joseph Kosinski and Claudio Miranda, the director and cinematographer of the upcoming F1 Apple Original, wanted to use real POV racing footage in the film. If you’ve watched a Formula One race lately, you've probably seen clips t

With AI Siri Delayed, Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 May Be Next
