Poco X5 has all of its specs leaked, won't be launched in India

Yesterday Poco India officially announced that the Poco X5 Pro will be launching in the country on February 6. Missing from that reveal was any mention of the non-Pro Poco X5, and according to a new leak today, that's for good reason. It turns out that the Poco X5 won't be launching in India alongside its Pro sibling. Instead, we'll see the X5 in Europe. So now the question is - will the X5 Pro be available in Europe too, or just India? There's no answer to this yet, but at the rate the leaks are going we'll surely find out in a few days at most.

Weekly poll results: Wired charging needs to be super fast, wireless not so much

After we posted last week’s poll about smartphone charging speeds, we kept an eye on it. After a few hours the 15-30 minutes and 30-45 minutes options were evenly matched, both outpacing the other answers in the poll. But then things started to turn. In a surprising result the poll ended with the 15 minutes or less option on top and by quite a margin too. People have really warmed up to fast charging. The 15-30 and 30-45 minute answers are still evenly matched, but they fell well behind the super fast option. As usual there were concerns about the negative effects on battery longevity...

There will be only one version of Google's Pixel Tablet, new rumor claims

Google's Pixel Tablet has definitely been a very long time coming. First teased in May 2022, it's still not official, despite one being for sale on Facebook Marketplace back in December. Today a new rumor from a generally reliable source sheds some more light on the upcoming device. Contrary to some previous mumblings, we are apparently only going to get one Pixel Tablet version - no 'vanilla' and 'Pro' separation here. Of the two possible iterations, the more high-end one stayed, and the lower-end model with the first-generation Tensor chipset apparently got canceled somewhere along the...
