Bottom line: The Huawei Mate Xs 2 features an impressive-looking 120Hz display that can fold outwards. However, this design makes it more susceptible to screen damage than other foldable phones. It unfortunately also misses out on 5G connectivity, something way cheaper phones include. In a livestream today, Huawei announced the global availability of their newest flagship foldable smartphone and a multitude of wearables. The company first launched these devices in China earlier this year, but now they're coming to western markets, starting with Europe. The Mate Xs 2 is Huawei's first new foldable since the P50 Pocket . It packs a massive 7.8-inch OLED screen (2480 x 2200 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate) that folds outwards, unlike competitors such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3. When folded up, it reduces to a more narrow 6.5-inch display, allowing for easier one-handed use. The device is powered by Qualcomm's last-gen Snapdragon 888 4G, as Huawei isn't allowed to … [Read more...] about Huawei launches gorgeous-looking Mate Xs 2 foldable phone for €1,999

La nouvelle Amazfit T-Rex 2 peut-elle faire de l’ombre aux dernières montres Garmin ?
L'Amazfit T-Rex 2 a été officiellement dévoilée : une montre GPS robuste et durable conçue pour les aventuriers, car dotée d'outils de navigation et d'une " autonomie ultra-longue ". La montre paraît idéale pour " les randonneurs, les alpinistes, les arpenteurs de sentiers et les aventuriers qui souhaitent explorer des terrains inconnus grâce à ses fonctions de navigation en temps réel ". Elle se veut apparemment extrêmement résistante, ayant été testée à des températures aussi basses que -30°C et aussi élevées que +70°C. L'Amazfit T-Rex Pro, le modèle précédent de la gamme, était dépourvu de ces outils de navigation, et de ce fait elle obtient un avis défavorable par rapport à ses rivales Garmin. Elle s’équipe d'un altimètre barométrique, d'une boussole et prend en charge le positionnement à double bande ainsi que cinq réseaux satellitaires. Avec une résistance à l'eau poussant jusqu'à 100 mètres et l'accent mis sur sa durabilité, l'Amazfit T-Rex 2 se positionne … [Read more...] about La nouvelle Amazfit T-Rex 2 peut-elle faire de l’ombre aux dernières montres Garmin ?
Garmin’s new rear camera watches your back while you ride your bike
Audio player loading… Sports tech company Garmin is adding a much-needed camera to its Varia line of bicycle radar and tail lights. It’s called the Varia RCT715 and houses a 1080p camera that shoots at 30 fps. The device features Automatic Incident Capture that ensures it continues recording “before, during, and after” an accident. So as you can imagine, the RCT715 is a pretty sturdy device. It has a water resistance rating of IPX7 which means it can survive submerged up to one meter of water for a maximum time of 30 minutes. However, the Varia RCT715 offers no protection against dust or sand. When turned on, the Varia camera will record continuously and save the footage to the Varia app . You can then transfer that footage to your at-home computer or smartphone. The app will even alert you if the rear camera detects a car getting too close behind you (assuming you have your phone clamped to your bike and viewable while you ride). The RCT715 is also … [Read more...] about Garmin’s new rear camera watches your back while you ride your bike
Motorola Razr 2022: here’s everything we know so far
Audio player loading… The next Moto foldable phone , presumably called the Motorola Razr 2022, is shaping up to be a big reinvention for the family - it's the third-gen version of the phone, following on from the Motorola Razr 2019 and Razr 2020 , but it might be the first really worth paying attention to. Motorola skipped a year in its pattern, with no Razr 2021, which has given the company even more time to create the best foldable it can - leaks also suggest it's going to have some impressive specs. We haven't got solid confirmation that Motorola is working on a third-gen Razr phone, but it seems likely with the annual installments up until now. Especially with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 slated to launch in late 2021, and the iPhone Flip hoped for in 2022, there's lots of competition for Moto to fight with. We're referring to this phone as the Motorola Razr 2022, as while we originally called it the Razr 2021, that never showed up. Lots of our wish … [Read more...] about Motorola Razr 2022: here’s everything we know so far
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4: what we want to see
Audio player loading… While the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 launch is still likely half a year away, we've got high hopes for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 's successor to be one of the best foldable phones we've tested. Why do we say that? Well, because it has to be: the foldable market is getting increasingly busy, with the Huawei P50 Pocket showing how feature-packed clamshells folds can be, and the Motorola Razr 2022 promising top specs too. For the Galaxy Z Flip 4 to be competitive, it'll need to be a fantastic device. Each new version of this bending Samsung phone comes on leaps and bounds from the last - the original Galaxy Z Flip didn't even have 5G, and the last version came with a big outer screen and a competitive price. So we're hoping the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 comes with even more improvements over its predecessor - in fact, we've written up a list of what we want to see below. On top of that, we've detailed what we know about the device so far, … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4: what we want to see
