Oppo Find X8 unboxing

Oppo is making its return to Western markets, adding another option in the sea of Galaxy phones and iPhones (with the occasional Pixel).

Global Xiaomi 15 spotted in Geekbench's AI test database

The Xiaomi 15 has been on sale in China since the end of last month. It will be available globally at some point, but the company hasn’t set a date yet – an interview with an exec in India pointed to March as a launch window (for India, though presumably the rest of the world too). The global variant of the Xiaomi 15, “24129PN74G”, was spotted in the Geekbench database, specifically the AI test section. The results are all over the place, so it’s too early to compare its Snapdragon 8 Elite versus the 8 Gen 3 of the Xiaomi 14. Plus, these tests were run only on the CPU rather than...

Formovie Theater Premium UST projector review

We’ve reviewed several ultra-short-throw (UST) projectors over the years, but the Formovie Theater Premium is the fanciest of them all.

Theater Premium is the direct successor to 2022’s Formovie Theater and, as such, brings two key additions: higher brightness output at up to 2,200 lumens and improved audio powered by its second-generation Bowers & Wilkins speakers.

Specifically, the Commission is concerned about three things. The first is requiring that smartphone makers buy all or nearly all of their glass from Corning.

Apple could pick Samsung's foldable display tech for its cheap Vision Pro headset

Apple is still trying to figure out the best recipe for an affordable Apple Vision Pro and it has given itself plenty of time to do so – the headset has reportedly been delayed beyond 2027. What kind of things is Cupertino considering? TheElec reports that Apple wants to switch to a different kind of display. The current Vision Pro uses OLED on Silicon (OLEDoS) panels from Sony, which have an impressive pixel density of 3,391ppi. That is out of the question for the affordable headset, so Apple has to choose between two different technologies. One is W-OLED+CF. This dense acronym...

The 24” display is the same 4.5K panel as the previous model, but now you can have it with nano-texture glass (but it’s a $200 upgrade).
