Sony’s new Xperia 10 VI budget phone is old-school, in both good and bad ways

Sony’s Xperia 10 range of mid-range phones aren’t amazing devices, but they usually bring a couple of unique features to the table. Now, the company has announced the Xperia 10 VI.The new mid-range phone follows in the footsteps of Its predecessor when it comes to the overall design. Expect a light weight (164 grams), a 6.1-inch 21:9 OLED display with Gorilla Glass Victus, and an IP68 rating.


The Xperia 10 VI also picks up a few other welcome features from the older phone, namely a 5,000mAh battery, dual front-facing speakers, a 3.5mm port, and microSD card support. Other basic features include a lower mid-range Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset (still an upgrade over the aging Snapdragon 695), 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage.What sacrifices does the Xperia 10 VI make?

Sony’s phone still lags behind rival devices in some areas, though. There’s no wireless charging support here, although this is a common and understandable omission in this segment. But the most egregious cutback is the lack of a high refresh rate screen, topping out at 60Hz. That’s particularly disappointing when even sub-$300 phones offer 120Hz or 90Hz OLED screens.
Expect a downgraded rear camera system on paper too, as the 8MP 2x telephoto camera on last year’s phone is dropped. Sony Xperia 10 VI Smartphone Battery Sony is using the 48MP main camera for 2x cropped zoom instead. That decision makes some sense as this is a low-resolution 2x shooter , after all. But a higher resolution 2x or 3x telephoto camera would’ve been great. That 48MP rear sensor is joined by an 8MP ultrawide lens (15mm), while an 8MP selfie camera is available on the front There’s also a redesigned camera app aboard this time, although without a pro mode.
Sony is promising three major OS updates and four years of security patches. That’s not quite as good as Samsung’s mid-range wares, but it’s still a major improvement over the Xperia 10 V’s disappointing 2+3 update policy.
Fancy the Xperia 10 VI? Then you’ll need to pay £349 (~$439) in the UK and €399 (~$432) in Europe when it eventually launches in mid-June, with pre-orders from May 15. This price puts it in the same territory as the likes of the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G.

BlackBerry Motion review: It’s all about the battery life

Back in the day, when BlackBerry was the premier smartphone manufacturer, you could count on its devices to have two features: a physical keyboard and long BlackBerry smartphone battery life. A lot has changed since then, but BlackBerry Motion still retains part of its legacy . It may lack a classic keyboard, but it makes up for it with one of the largest smartphone batteries I’ve used all year.

This should make some die-hard fans happy, right? We’re not sure when (or if) the Motion will come to the US, but that’s okay: it’s a decent phone, but it’s overpriced. Unlike the last two all-touch BlackBerrys, the Motion is more than just a clone of an existing device. In fact, I think the Motion is the best touchscreen BlackBerry in years. BlackBerry phones have always been conservative, but the Motion’s body is a beautiful mix of glass, aluminum and soft-touch plastic that looks like carbon fiber. To give the Motion some extra character, BlackBerry Mobile rounded the top edge of the phone while keeping the bottom edge flat. It’s a neat touch, but hard to appreciate unless you look closely. Still, the fact that BlackBerry Mobile is trying to give a glass and metal slab any personality is a welcome change of pace .


The phone looks better than it feels, though. It’s much taller than the BlackBerry KEYone, so people with smaller hands will have to jiggle the smartphone to reach the top of the screen. Meanwhile, the Motion’s flat sides give it a boxy, utilitarian feel Then again, if ever there was a phone that could escape the utilitarian feel, it’s the BlackBerry. What’s more, the Motion is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance. Try implementing this on a phone with a physical keyboard.


When I reviewed the BlackBerry KEYone earlier this year, I said it was a bit strange to test a phone with such a narrow screen after being spoiled by devices like the Galaxy S8 and LG G6. Still, even with its longer, more traditional display, the Motion still feels a little dated compared to other recent phones. It doesn’t help that there’s a lot of space below the 5.5-inch screen. This is where the capacitive navigation keys and physical home button are located. There’s also a fingerprint sensor stuck in there, and while it

works quickly most of the time, it often gets wonky when my thumbs get a little sweaty.
Honestly, there’s not much to say about the Motion’s 5.5-inch LCD screen. It runs at 1080p, as you’d expect from a phone in this price range, and looks generally nice. Colors are pleasant, if not exciting, and viewing angles are pretty good; you have to look from a pretty extreme angle to see the color distortion. The Motion’s screen lacks the vibrant tones and deep blacks of AMOLED panels like the one on the DTEK60, but I’m not sure anyone expected otherwise. All in all, this is a very functional monitor and nothing more. Still, for a brand whose core mission is to improve productivity, that’s not necessarily a deal-breaker.

Despite some attractive new designs, things inside are essentially the same as in the KEYone. BlackBerry Mobile has once again opted to use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset, Adreno 506 GPU and a relatively paltry 32GB of storage. (Thankfully, you can pop a microSD card into the SIM tray and enjoy your movies and photos.) The Motion comes with 4GB of memory, compared to the KEYone’s 3GB, but the biggest deviation from the KEYone formula is the Motion’s 4,000mAh battery . This is one of the biggest tests we ‘ve tested this year, and it’s clearly a throwback to the days when BlackBerry was the king of BlackBerry Mobile  batterylife.
BlackBerry has never really been interested in a specs war with the rest of the industry. In fact, Motion is not a flagship product designed to bring power users together under the BlackBerry umbrella. With its Snapdragon 625 chipset and 4GB of RAM, the Motion is definitely mid-range, but that doesn’t mean it’s not for me. There’s enough horsepower here to let me switch between Slack, Spotify, Gmail, and Trello with ease. All in all, I rarely notice hiccups in my daily life. Productivity is a priority for BlackBerry, a

nd Motion seems adequate for the tasks most people might need to complete in a day. What’s more, it’s clear that the Motion was designed with longevity in mind.

Qualcomm’s power-hungry chipset and 1080p display pair perfectly with the massive 4,000mAh Motion battery inside, so the Motion can typically last a full two days before needing to be recharged. To be clear, I spent two full days checking email like a maniac, frantically Googling and browsing YouTube videos. On a quiet weekend, I was able to stretch the Motion’s battery life to nearly two and a half days before plugging it in again. Not bad at all.


No US carriers have committed to selling the BlackBerry Motion, and as far as we know, it may never be sold unlocked in the US. It costs $600 CAD (about $470 USD) in Canada, and the only way you can buy it is likely to be from an online retailer in another country. While I know this isn’t a big deal to some BlackBerry die-hards, it’s worth taking a deep breath and exploring other options. After all, the Motion has the clear edge in terms of security, but there are sleeker, more capable options for about the same price.


Consider the OnePlus 5T. It was designed to replace phones that were only a few months old, offering flagship-level performance and an extra-long AMOLED screen for $499. That big buck also gets you one of Qualcomm’s top-tier Snapdragon 835 chipsets, 6GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage, all of which help the 5T eclipse the Motion in terms of sheer performance. You’ll have to use a smaller battery, though, and recent concerns about security breaches may mean a OnePlus is out of the question for some BlackBerry fans.


In that case, there are devices like the $499 Essential PH-1 . It may not have the best camera I’ve tested this year, but it’s certainly one of the most perfectly

made blackberry model Cell Phone batteries‘ve ever used — considering founder Andy Rubin’s embrace of Apple’s approach to premium design , which is not surprising. The Essential uses the same Snapdragon 835 chipset as the OnePlus 5T, but it comes with a generous 128GB of storage and one of the cleanest versions of Android you’ll find. Who could forget its design? 

The BlackBerry Motion is a solid follow-up to a phone that I liked more than I expected, and overall it got more things right than wrong. More importantly, I get the impression that the folks at BlackBerry Mobile/TCL are focusing on what really matters to their core fans. That being said, it’s hard to

recommend BlackBerry Motion to anyone who hasn’t sworn allegiance to the brand. It’s just a niche device, and considering how fierce the competition is, you won’t get enough for the money you spend. Unless you’re absolutely obsessed with security or want to spend money to keep your beloved phone brand alive, the BlackBerry Motion is ultimately a good phone but also a terrible deal.

Massive Galaxy S24 leak reveals standard model may disappoint US buyers

With FCC approval in the bag, Samsung is apparently gearing up for the Galaxy S24 Unpacked event which will be held on January 17.

Although no head-turning upgrades are expected, the South Korean giant is rumored to introduce a couple of changes to differentiate the lineup from the outgoing range. Windows Report has published today nearly all of the phones’ expected specs as well as new renders.

The report largely corroborates rumors that sound legit, including the Galaxy S24 Ultra ditching the 10MP 10x periscope camera for a 50MP unit with 5x zoom, a flat screen for the Ultra, bigger Samsung phones’ batteries for the base and Plus models, and new AI features for the entire lineup.  


Per the report, the new phones will be able to translate messages in real-time, offer generative AI to help with image editing and flaunt better search features. This includes the capability to show information about any area of ​​an image highlighted by the user.

Today’s report says that Initially only the Galaxy S24 Ultra will have titanium sides.
As previous rumors said, the phones will likely come in black, gray, violet, and yellow, but Samsung will use different marketing names for them.


The new AI capabilities will require a better cooling solution. For this reason, all phones will apparently come with bigger vapor chambers. The S24 Ultra will supposedly have a 1.9 times bigger chamber, the S24 Plus will have a 1.5 times larger cooling chamber, and the S24 will have a 1.6x bigger chamber.


Perhaps the most surprising piece of information in the report is that the Galaxy S24 will be powered by the Exynos 2400. This is not the first time we have heard about the possibility. In August, a report said that the base model would be powered by an in-house chip, whereas the other two variants would be underpinned by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Samsung could be doing this to save cost as rumors say the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is more expensive than its predecessor. 
Consumers in Europe and Asia may not be as disappointed by this alleged decision as American and Chinese buyers. Even though all Galaxy S23 phones use a Snapdragon chip, this was an exception and not the norm as Samsung usually equips Europe and Asia-bound phones with Exynos chips.

Want to Avoid Upgrading Your iPhone? Here’s How to Maximize Your Battery’s Life Span

Check out this advice straight from Apple on how you can make your iPhone battery last as long as possible.
While some Apple fans have been going wild for the brand-new iPhone 15 series, there are still some of us out here just trying to make our older iPhones last as long they can. If you want to keep your current iPhone going for as many years as possible, one of the best things you can do is to protect the life span of your iPhone’s battery.
Battery life span, not to be confused with your battery life, is the length of time your battery has before you need to replace it. The rechargeable battery in your iPhone should work at optimal capacity for (hopefully) a couple of years at the very least, but that depends on a variety of factors, like environmental temperatures, how you charge your battery, drop damage or a faulty battery. (“Battery life,” on the other hand, is the amount of time your battery can power your phone before it needs to be recharged.)


If you aren’t quite sure what to do to help prolong your iPhone battery’s life span, who better to advise you than Apple?

Below you’ll find a few tips directly from the company that’ll help keep you from having to replace your battery sooner rather than later.
And while we’re on the subject of your phone, here are a couple of other CNET stories you’ll want to peruse: Find out everything we expect to be announced at the 2023 Apple Wonderlust event, and check out rumors that the iPhone 15could support faster charging speeds. 

And now, on to the battery tips…
First, make sure Optimized Battery Charging is enabledThough you can’t overcharge a battery, you can put your battery under a bit of stress when you charge up to 100%. To help limit that strain, your iPhone has a setting that learns from your daily charging routine (say you always plug in your phone right before you go to bed and then unplug it in the morning). It then waits to finish charging past 80% until right before you need it, instead of just quickly charging the battery all the way to 100%. 
This can help reduce battery aging, and though the setting should be enabled by default, it’s still good to check if it’s on. In Settings, go to Battery > Battery Health & Charging and make sure that Optimized Battery Charging is toggled on.

Setting on the iPhone to optimize battery charging

The setting should be on by default, but it never hurts to look and confirm.Nelson Aguilar/CNETKeep your iPhone away from extreme temperaturesThe life span of your iPhone battery can be affected by extreme temperatures. A higher temperature increases the speed of chemical reactions inside the battery, which forces the battery to work harder and faster, thus also causing it to degrade faster. 
According to Apple, it’s important to avoid exposing your iPhone to temperatures higher than 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius) to avoid permanent damage. Fortunately, the fix is ​​simple — keep your iPhone out of hot temperatures. If you’re at the beach, don’t leave your iPhone on your towel in direct sunlight. Instead, toss it into a bag or put a shirt over it for protection. Also, don’t leave your iPhone in the car for an extended period of time, especially if it’s a hot day.


Apple does have a few settings to prevent overheating and damage, like disabling your phone or preventing further charging when your phone is too hot, but you don’t want to rely on these features to save your phone’s battery health. It’s better to take preventative actions than wait for your iPhone to overheat.

You may need to take your iPhone out of its caseIf your iPhone gets hot any time you charge it, you may need to take off your case before doing so. Certain cases, especially the bulkier and more protective ones, can trap heat and make the iPhone overheat, affecting the Cell Phone battery life span.
Apart from removing the case, consider avoiding processor-intensive apps, like games, when your phone is charging. Using these apps while charging could also cause your phone to overheat.

If you want to maintain the battery’s life span, you should do the following before putting it away:


Keep the charge at around 50%. You don’t want your battery to be full or empty before you turn it off, or else it could stop holding a charge (if full) or lose capacity and have a shorter life span (if empty ).Turn your iPhone off. This prevents your phone from using up more apple battery.Store your phone in a cool and moisture-free environment. Ideally, the temperature should be less than 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius).

If you’re putting your iPhone away for longer than six months, turTurn it on and charge it to 50% every six months.If you store your iPhone for an extended period of time, your iPhone battery may be in a low-charge state, which means you may need to charge it for 20 minutes before you can turn it on.

Everything You Need to Know About iPhone Battery Replacement

A well-kept iPhone can last for years, but everyone knows how smartphone batteries degrade over time. Similarly, when it comes to iPhone batteries, there’s no exception. Eventually, you will need to consider a replacement. Fortunately, a weak battery does not mean you need a new iPhone – a simple iPhone battery replacement can do just the trick!


Apple users should know that replacing a battery is a no-brainer since the benefits will always outweigh the costs. The very first step is to check if you still fall under warranty with Apple. If yes, there are no additional charges for changing your battery – a good idea to go for it. So, let’s explore the options and conditions for replacing an iPhone’s battery.  


Is it worth replacing the battery of the iPhone?

Replacing batteries might be a good idea, considering how it will breathe new life into your device by improving its performance. It usually depends on how old your device is. If you feel like your Apple device takes too long to send a message or download files , there might be issues with its battery. 


Similarly, if your phone hangs up while looking at pictures, scrolling, or you keep it plugged into the charger to make a call – are clear signs that an iPhone battery replacement is required. Also, the much-needed mobility that comes with these smart devices is an obvious reason why replacing a battery is totally worth it.  
Given below are some signs telling your phone needs a battery replacement urgently:
iPhone running slowerFunctions like uploading pictures, loading files and GIFs, and receiving or making calls are all affected due to an aging iPhone battery. Hence, as the battery efficiency declines, phone performance can degrade and make it slower. You can avoid this by replacing your battery as soon as possible.  


Powering down unexpectedlySmart devices like iPhones tend to have a mind of their own. Users can experience this in the form of abrupt powering down. If the powering issue happens while you are working on a task, defragging only provides a temporary solution by increasing your device’s processing speed . Hence, opting for an iPhone battery replacement would be the best decision.


Prolonged charging periodIf your battery performance is in top condition, it should take about two hours or less to charge fully. One of the most classic symptoms of a dying battery is taking longer or not charging at all after being plugged in for hours. 
Apple throttling older devicesApple announced that it throttles older devices to avoid failing batteries. This has long-lasting implications since your phone’s health depends on how soon you notice a problem with it. You can see if you’re a victim of iPhone throttling by going to Settings > Battery > Battery health. Here you can get insights on battery conditions and turn off throttling anytime.  


How much does it cost to replace an old iPhone battery?

Replacing an iPhone screen is expensive, ranging between US$ 120 to US$ 329, while replacing the battery only costs between US$ 49 to US$ 69. It is obvious how this amount is only around 10% of your iPhone’s original price – helping you save on additional expenses. As intelligent buyers, one should bear in mind to always look at the phone’s battery status before purchasing an iPhone.
Generally speaking, replacing batteries for all iPhone models still falling under warranty with AppleCare+ is free. Out-of-warranty models require you to pay for an iPhone battery replacement. As mentioned earlier, for iPhone X and all models released afterward, the price is US$ 69, and for all the rest of the older versions, you are to pay US$ 49. 


Can I replace my iPhone Battery myself?It is possible to replace your iPhone battery yourself but not one of the most desired solutions. These devices have strong glues attached to hold parts together and you may need to remove some of these to gain access to the battery.  


The task is time-consuming, and if you’re not well equipped, there is a high risk of damaging your phone. The self-replacement procedure will also void any warranties remaining on your iPhone. It may also affect the waterproof capabilities making it more vulnerable to harm in the future.  
If you have an in-store replacement facility within your reach, then it’s better to seek help from them. Otherwise, numerous kits are available in the market with in-depth guides on replacing your iPhone’s battery. However, you need to remember that these guides do not guarantee success for battery replacement and if you damage your device in the process, purchasing a new one is the only option left.

When is my phone getting Android 14? Here’s everything we know

When is my phone getting Android 14? Here’s everything we knowWith Android 14, there are some priority changes in app behaviors and compatibility instead of just new features and other enhancements. There are also going to be improvements made to settings for privacy, security, and even system health. In short, Android 14 may not be packed with a ton of brand new features, but it will refine and streamline what is already there.


Your main concern may be whether or not your current Android smartphone will be getting Android 14 when it drops later this year. Here are all of the phones that should be compatible with Android 14. We’ll be updating this list frequently as we learn more about Android 14 compatibility.Android 14 release date
Android 14 is in the beta phase, with Google releasing Android 14 Beta 1 on April 12 and Android 14 Beta 2 on May 10. Prior to the open beta, Google released two developer previews for Android 14 — one in February and another in March.


Looking at the timeline above, three additional beta updates will follow from there: Beta 3 in June and Betas 4 and 5 in July.
Google has the final public release of Android 14 planned sometime shortly after that, likely in August or September.


Google PixelGoogle Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.Andrew Martonik/Digital TrendsGoogle’s Pixel devices are the first to get the Android 14 beta, so naturally, they’ll also be among the first for the general release. However, while Android 13 could be installed on devices going all the way back to the Pixel 4, Google has decided to cut off some of the older Pixel devices with Android 14.


On the Android 14 page, Google has listed the following Pixel devices as being eligible for the Android 14 beta program:Pixel 4a (5G)
SamsungThe back of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, showing its green color.Andy Boxall/DigitalTrendsSamsung just launched the Galaxy S23 series this year, which includes the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Like Google, Samsung provides several years of support for its flagship phones, and the S23 lineup should be supported for the next four major software upgrades.


But Samsung has more than just the Galaxy S-Series of phones in its repertoire. There’s the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip lineup, the more affordable A-Series phones, and others. While we don’t have a full confirmation just yet (Android 14 is still very much in the early stages), here’s a good idea of ​​which major Samsung phones to expect to have support for Android 14:


Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra
OnePlusThe back of the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 10 Pro.OnePlus 10 Pro (left) and OnePlus 11 Andy Boxall/Digital TrendsSimilar to Google and Samsung, OnePlus phones have software upgrade support for four years. However, in OnePlus’ case, that rule only applies to the most recent release OnePlus 11. That phone shipped with Android 13, so we can expect it to receive the Android 14 release as well — in fact, you can install the second Android 14 public beta on it now if you’re willing to jump through a few hoops.
Older OnePlus smartphones — like the OnePlus 10T, OnePlus 10 Pro, OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, etc. — are promised three years of software updates.
Those models aren’t being included in OnePlus’ Android 14 beta, but it’s safe to assume that OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 9 devices will get the final Android 14 release. However, it could go either way for the OnePlus 8 devices, so we’ ll have to wait and see what the company does.


NothingNothing Phone 1 with the Nothing Ear 1 headphones.Andy Boxall/Digital TrendsNothing has also announced that it’s joined the Android 14 beta program, effectively confirming that Android 14 will be coming to the Nothing Phone 1.
That’s not a big surprise since the handset only went on sale last July, and the company has promised three years of updates. Still, it’s nice that Nothing has opened the doors for those who want to jump into Android 14 early, although we’d recommend exercising caution as Android 14 is in beta for a reason.XiaomiThe Xiaomi 13 Ultra held in a man’s hand.Andy Boxall/Digital TrendsXiaomi fans will be happy to know that the company has also officially confirmed that Android 14 will come to the Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 13, and Xiaomi 12T in much the same way as Nothing: these three models have joined Xiaomi’s Android 14 beta program.


While other models aren’t eligible for the Android 14 beta right now, the Xiaomi 13 Lite, the rest of the Xiaomi 12 family, and the Mix Fold 2, Civi 2, and Civi 1S are also expected to get Android 14 by the time the final release appears later this year.
OppoOpening the folded Oppo Find N2 Flip.Oppo Find N2 Flip Andy Boxall/Digital TrendsGoogle’s Pixel Fold is still over a few weeks away, but the good news is that if you want to see how Android looks on a foldable sooner, Oppo’s Find N2 Flip has joined the beta party, according to an official announcement from the company that it will indeed be getting Android 14 .


Unfortunately, the link to Oppo from Google’s Android 14 Beta devices page appears to be broken right now, but it’s worth keeping an eye on if you’re toting a Find N2 Flip, as the instructions to get the beta should appear there eventually.
Vivo/iQOOThe Vivo X90 Pro’s camera module.Vivo X90 Pro Andy Boxall/Digital TrendsVivo has announced that the Vivo X90 Pro and iQOO 11 are also now participating in the Android 14 beta program in Southeast Asia.


The initial beta build for Vivo’s devices is intended for developers only, so the usual cautionary notes apply here about installing it on your primary phone.
RealmeThe camera modules on several Realme smartphones, seen from the back.Top left onwards: Realme GT Neo 2, Realme GT 2 Pro, Realme 9 Pro+, Realme GT Neo 3T, and Realme GT Neo 3. Andy Boxall/Digital TrendsChinese smartphone maker Realme has promised to bring Android 14 to several of its phones, including the Realme 10 Pro+ and other 10-series and 9-series phones, plus the Realme C55, GT 5G, GT Neo 3, GT Neo 3T, GT2, GT 2 Pro, and GT 3.


Of these, folks with the India version of the GT 2 Pro can grab the Android 14 beta now. Realme hasn’t said whether it plans to expand that beta to other versions of that GT 2 Pro, or other Realme phones
