HMD has been quite active this month, as the Finnish company launched a handful of cheap smartphones in various regions of the world. After bringing its affordable Vibe to the United States, HMD is now launching yet another budget-friendly phone, but in Australia this time, the Aura.The Aura seems to be exclusively available via Australian retailer JB Hi-Fi (via Nokiamob), although that’s of little importance considering its specs. Before we list those, it’s worth mentioning that HMD Aura is priced to sell for AUD $180 (about €110), which seems to be the correct price.That said, the Aura is far from…
Leaker Majin Bu is back with another iPhone 16 Pro dummy to show us how it compares to the iPhone 15 Pro.The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to sport a 6.3-inch screen, which would make it bigger than the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro. The increase in size won’t be profound though, as the freshly leaked pictures show, but it’s big enough to be noticeable. Unlike previously leaked mockup units, this one also has a screen, but since it’s probably a non-functional display, we can’t see the handset’s alleged slimmer bezels, which will be made possible by the Border Reduction Structure…
Susan Bennett’s name might mean nothing to you but you almost certainly have heard her voice. Bennett was the original U.S. voice actor for Siri which debuted in October 2011 on the iPhone 4s. On the second anniversary of the introduction of the iPhone 4s, Bennett came forward to explain how she ended up as the voice of Siri. She was recorded by a company that later became Nuance and for four hours a day, she was taped making nonsensical sounds and phrases that were sped up and slowed down to create the iconic Siri voice.A few days ago, Ms.…

If you’re a regular PhoneArena reader, you might be familiar with the Tensor G5 application processor (AP) that will power the Pixel 10 series (if you’re an irregular PhoneArena reader, a cup of prune juice might straighten you out). Unlike the Tensor chipsets that powered the Pixel 6 through Pixel 9, which are modified Samsung Exynos APs manufactured by Samsung Foundry, the Tensor G5 will be fully customized by Google.Another change coming with the Tensor G5 has to do with the foundry that will manufacture the chipset. The first four Tensor chips, including the Tensor G4 that will be powering…

Per one leak, the screen will go from 57mm to more than 60mm in width, bringing it closer to the…

In case you didn’t know, Huawei hasn’t given up on making phones.With or without Google services, Huawei is now the fastest-growing phone-maker in China, which means it has a lot to lose/gain – depending on how you want to look at it.Part of Huawei’s plan to dominate the super-saturated Chinese market is to remind the competition who the real camera king is/was. And the most intriguing new camera feature in the new Huawei Pura 70 Ultra (which we just reviewed) is a retractable camera.Frankly, when I first saw this new trick, I was intrigued. I figured Huawei had come up…

It seems that these days it is getting harder and harder for an associate working for a wireless firm to make a buck. From reading about their complaints on social media platforms including Reddit, writing up an order for a phone upgrade won’t bring home the bacon. To make some decent money, an associate needs to get a customer to not only upgrade his phone but also add some new lines, and buy an insurance plan for the phones on the account. In addition, T-Mobile gives its associates certain sales goals and “metrics” that the employee must meet in order…
Of course, not all T-Mo subscribers are looking at paying more on their monthly bill starting in June, but as if the actual price increase news this week was not bad enough to make thousands of people grab their (virtual) pitchforks and torches across various online forums and social networks, the “Un-carrier” also totally botched its communication on the matter.For all the attention these price hikes received in the past 48 hours or so, Magenta has yet to issue a press release or publish a detailed blog post to address the concerns and questions floating around the interwebs in an…
