Après Honor, Huawei veut revenir à l’offensive avec des smartphones à prix cassés
Près d’une demi-douzaine d’années après s’être séparé d’Honor, Huawei préparerait une nouvelle sous-marque. Celle-ci proposerait des smartphones particulièrement abordables. Sous l’administration Trump, la Chine est plus que jamais dans le viseur des États-Unis. L’année dernière, le pays de l’Oncle Sam confirmait par exemple l’interdiction du réseau social chinois TikTok, qui ne fut que temporaire. Par ailleurs, l’Empire du Milieu a ensuite riposté aux taxes américaines avec des droits de douane à 84 %. Visé…

This makes for easier multitasking, especially if you wear headphones…

Google has never been shy about pushing smartphone cameras to their limits. In fact, some might say, eking out the maximum using software instead of hardware is Google’s entire shtick with the Pixel lineup. With the Pixel 11 Pro, the company is taking things even further, quite literally, with 120x Pro Res zoom. That’s a step up from 100x on the Pixel 10 Pro and a ridiculous amount of magnification for a phone. Google…

I got my hands on the Google Pixel 11 Pro XL when it launched globally in August, and I’ve spent quite a bit of time with it since. It’s not my daily driver, but I’ve used it enough to know what I love about it and, more importantly, where I wish Google had done things differently.
