MediaTek Helio G200 is the latest addition to the semiconductor company’s budget Helio G range of chipsets, and while it isn’t very different from its predecessor G100, the former appears to have a slight edge in connectivity thanks to 4G DC SAR technology and high-quality HDR video capture owing to the addition of 12-bit DCG (dual conversion gain) support. And now, we have a new update regarding the Helio G200 — Tecno has confirmed that their Spark 40 Pro+ will be the first smartphone to feature the newly launched octa-core processor. The Helio G200 chip is based on TSMC 6nm…

Chipset maker MediaTek yesterday announced a new addition to their Helio G mid-range series in the form of Helio G200. As the name suggests, the new chipset is the successor to the Helio G100 that launched in August last year, which powers budget-friendly phones such as Tecno Camon 30S, Tecno Spark 30 Pro, and Infinix Hot 50 4G. Helio G200 vs G100: What is the difference? The new Helio G200 shares a lot in common with last year’s G100, with both based on TSMC 6nm architecture. Echoing its predecessor, the new octa-core CPU consists of the same combination of two…

Let’s face it — Sony Xperia phones don’t exactly sport a cutting-edge design we’ve come to expect from top smartphone brands such as Apple and Samsung. In fact, the Japanese tech giant has been reusing the same boring outdated design with considerable top and bottom bezels in their flagship Xperia 1 models for at least five years now. And yes, that is not changing in the case of the upcoming Xperia 1 VII flagship either, well, at least according to the leaked official renders of the smartphone. But what smartphone enthusiasts don’t realize is that most Xperia buyers don’t really…

Sony’s mobile business has been on the decline for quite a few years now — reporting a 40% drop in sales in 2023, but fortunately for Xperia fans, the Japanese tech giant is not ready to give up and has announced a May 15 launch for the 2015 Xperia flagship phone. With only five more days to go until Sony announces the much-awaited Xperia 1 VII, a massive new leak just revealed the design, color variants, and features of the upcoming device. Folks over at Android Headlines have shared a total of 39 images consisting of the official renders and…

Google late last week released the first-ever public beta update of the upcoming Android 16 software to Pixel 6 and newer devices enrolled in Android Beta Program. There’s app adaptivity, there’s Live Updates, some camera and security improvements, but then there’s not a lot of features or UI changes in this build to make it worth it for Android users to jump the gun and install the beta software, rather than wait out for the final stable build. Taylor Kerns from Android Police spent the weekend combing through everything the new Android 16 update has to offer and he writes:…

Learning a new language today has become more than just an academic pursuit — it’s an important skill that opens doors to new cultures, opportunities and connections. However, unlike mastering a new software tool or reading through technical documentation (for instance this guide from SmashingTrade to learn more about local SEO), learning a language is about diving into the intricacies of communication, understanding cultural nuances, and immersing yourself in a completely different way of thinking. But all thanks to the recent rise of a plethora of online learning apps, language learning has transcended traditional classroom settings, making it more accessible,…
