Honor has launched the Honor X50i smartphone in China. The smartphone comes with notable improvements compared to its predecessor Honor X40i was launched last year. Honor’s latest X50i smartphone features a Dimensity 6000 series processor, 100MP dual rear camera setup, and whole much more. Have a look at the specifications and pricing details of the Honor X50i smartphone. Honor X50i comes in two configurations- the 8GB + 256GB storage variant costs 1,499 Yuan (~$217) while the 12GB + 256GB variant is priced at 1,699 Yuan (~$247). The smartphone comes in Black, Green, Pink, and White color options. Honor X50i is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6020 processor coupled with up to 12GB of LPDR4x RAM and 256GB of internal storage, under the hood. The device runs on Magic UI 6.1 based on Android 13 out of the box. It packs a 4,500mAH battery with support for 35W fast charging tech. You’ll get a dual rear camera setup at the back with a 100MP primary lens joined by a 2MP depth unit. It features an 8MP snapper at the front. Honor X50i flaunts a 6.73-inch IPS LCD FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 93.6% screen-to-body ratio. Other highlights of the X50i smartphone include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and up to 7GB of virtual RAM support. The device weighs just 179 grams and is 7.48mm thick.

Nothing beats the super-immersive LG UltraGear OLED 45 for gaming, even if it isn't the monitor for everyone.

OnePlus has released another device this year. The company seems like it’s pumping out more great Android phones and accessories than ever before in 2023. The latest addition has been the Nord Buds 2 and I’ve been testing the new wireless earbuds for about two weeks now.DesignThe industrial build of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 is pretty bland, to be honest. The “bullet-style” buds are plastic and have a super lightweight feel. This isn’t a knock, it’s just that these aren’t winning any window shopping design awards. The Nord Buds 2 have a short and wider stem than most which make these very compact.I also like this wider design makes the touch sensor much easier to manipulate. No narrow, small capacitive area to find. The Nord Buds 2 have a large, silver circular sensor that makes this a breeze no matter what the situation.SoundThe audio quality of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 punches well above the $60 price tag. The Nord Buds 2 seal great around your ears and provide full Active Noise Cancellation even at this low cost. OnePlus has actively attempted to improve the bass performance from the previous generation.I found the overall sound to be pretty balanced. The bass is punching with mids and highs filling in the remaining spectrum well. I would put the default audio of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 up against any competition around this price range and maybe even other more expensive models.The noise cancellation is also great. Even without the processed cancellation, the natural cancellation of the Nord Buds 2 design is efficient in most circumstances. Add in the hardware ANC and you have really good isolation of your surroundings.App and softwareIf you’d like to tweak the sound, the HeyMelody app can move the EQ in your favor. The app allows you to choose from a few set audio profiles. If that’s not granular enough, you can also move each section of the EQ to your liking.This app is available on the Play Store and iOS Store. Not only does it allow you to tweak the audio, but you can also alter the touch controls, and update the firmware of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 earbuds. The HeyMelody app is well laid out and functions well with all the phones I’ve used it with these last two weeks.Two more great things about the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 are the touch controls and the Fast Pair features. As mentioned in the design section, the controls are easy to activate and the defaults make sense. I never had to overthink or tap things multiple times to get the reaction I wanted.OnePlus Fast Pair is also top-notch. It’s the first time outside of Pixel Buds that the pairing happens as seamlessly as Apple AirPods to an iOS device. I covered this in my OnePlus Buds Pro 2 review as well, but to have them on the budget Nord Buds 2 is just a shining win at this price.Battery lifeOnePlus estimates the Nord Buds 2 to last up to five hours. I’ve found in my testing that’s accurate. When using these under medium to moderate volume levels, I’ve tweaked out 4+ hours of casual listening. Turning on the full Active Noise Cancellation cuts into this number a little further, but I think it’s minimal.When you do need to top off the battery capacity the travel case can give you an additional four charges away from an outlet. If you drain the combination, you have quick charge USB-C but no wireless charging. At $60 I don’t think this matters, and in true OnePlus fashion, you have a quick charge option to get back a full five hours of listening in 10 minutes and fully charge the case and Nord Buds 2 in around 90 minutes.ConclusionAt just $60, adding ANC to the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 push them into a super attractive package in the wireless earbuds marketplace. Combine that with a lightweight design, decent audio, and great touch controls, then you have a real winner from OnePlus.Head on over to the OnePlus.com website if you’re interested in these new Nord Buds 2 earbuds. You can choose from two colors: Lightning White and Thunder Gray. I don’t think you’ll regret it.

The Moto G Power 5G is a solid smartphone for the price. However, it comes with a few compromises to consider.

The next foldable phones from vivo are here and it’s clear they are challenging Samsung with the release of its latest smartphones. The X Fold2 and X Flip not only sound surprisingly similar to the Korean juggernaut’s flagship foldable phones, but vivo is also offering competition in the clamshell foldable market now.X Fold2The vivo X Fold2 is the follow-up to last year’s model and includes a reworked hinge mechanism, new cameras, 120W wired charging, and the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. The new droplet-style hinge has slimmed down the X Fold2 shaving off 1.5mm while also being lighter and more durable than last year’s X Fold and X Fold Plus. In fact, the X Fold2 has lost over 30 grams compared to its predecessor.As for displays, the X Fold2 sports an 8.03-inch E6 AMOLED display with a 2160 x 1916 resolution running at 120Hz when opened. When folded, the X Fold2 makes use of a 6.53-inch AMOLED panel with a 2520 x 1080 resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate. Speaking of the displays, both feature a 16MP front-facing camera for selfies and ultrasonic fingerprint sensors for unlocking the device.There is a triple camera setup on the backside of the X Fold2, including a 50MP main shooter with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 12MP 2x portrait lens. There’s also support for up to 20x digital zoom and the camera system is powered by vivo’s own V2 image chip for improved HDR and noise reduction in images and videos. Additionally, the X Fold2 is capable of recording videos in 8K at 30fps and offers a Zeiss Cinematic shooting mode.The X Fold2 runs Android 13 out of the box utilizing OriginOS 3 featuring several enhancements to take advantage of the larger screen space. For example, the adaptable UI kicks in for compatible apps when the hinge is folded, there’s a taskbar for multitasking, and a remote PC control feature. Powering all of this up is a 4,800mAh battery with support for 120W wired or 50W wireless charging.You’ll have two variants to choose from with the vivo X Fold2, the first is the 12GB/256GB model priced at CNY 8,999 ($1,308), and the second is the pricier 12GB/512GB model for CNY 9,999 ($1,453).X FlipThe X Flip is vivo’s first crack at a clamshell foldable, and any competition in this space is welcomed. As with the X Fold 2, the X Flip utilizes the waterdrop hinge mechanism in an effort to address the dreaded screen crease issue. However, unlike the X Fold2, the fingerprint sensor is located on the side with the X Flip.When unfolded, the X Flip’s main display is a 6.74-inch LTPO AMOLED with an FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. There is a cut-out in the display for the 32MP front-facing camera, and around the back is the same 50MP Sony sensor with OIS and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. Alongside the camera module, the X Flip sports a 3-inch AMOLED display for texting, social media, viewing maps, and more.Furthermore, vivo says it is actively working with developers to get as many apps as possible working on the cover display, thus preventing you from needing to open the phone to accomplish most tasks.Under the hood, the vivo X Flip is powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, 12GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of storage. Keeping it powered up through the day is a 4,400mAh battery with support for 44W fast charging.Out of the box, the X Flip runs Android 13 with vivo’s Origin OS3 skin, and the phone will be able to operate while folded for taking hands-free selfies. You can even “flip” it around to use the rear-mounted camera for better quality.The vivo X Flip is available in three different colors and starts at CNY 5,999 ($872) for the 12GB/256GB model, or you can pick up the 12GB/512GB model for CNY 6,699 ($973).

In my spare time, there’s nothing I love more than watching movies, bingeing series, and doing a little gaming. That’s why I became a big fan of projectors when we were all stuck at home during the pandemic. There’s no more significant upgrade for your home theater than a good projector with a 100-inch or larger screen. It truly takes the experience to the next level.Plus, these days, projectors are becoming smarter and offering HDR at more affordable prices, making picking one up even more tempting. Thankfully, our friends over at Epson were nice enough to lend us one of its latest projectors, the Home Cinema 2350 for review.FeaturesThe Epson Home Cinema 2350 is a smart streaming projector with a 4K resolution utilizing PRO-UHD technology—which means it’s not native 4K—but instead uses pixel shifting to achieve a similar resolution.Inside of the Home Cinema 2350 is a bright bulb capable of outputting 2,800 lumens making it possible to watch content in HDR with support for HDR10 and HLG. This is paired with 3-chip 3LCD technology that provides fantastic colors and eliminates any sort of rainbowing effect.Additionally, the Epson Home Cinema 2350 has a vertical lens shift capability of up to 60% with a 1.6x optical zoom lens, making it easy to find a good spot for mounting.Now, for one of our favorite features, the Home Cinema 2350 comes with an Android TV dongle hidden inside and gives you access to most of your favorite streaming apps. Since there is a separate dongle, and Android TV isn’t baked into the projector itself, that also means it can be removed and replaced if you like. That also means the projector actually provides two HDMI ports, albeit with one hidden, and there’s even a separate remote for the dongle if you choose to move it to another device.While we’re on the topic of ports, there are two USB Type-A ports—if you count the one hidden—and a 3.5mm audio jack. Unfortunately, the exposed USB Type-A port is a service-only port. At least both of the HDMI ports are 2.0b/HDCP 2.3 compliant with CEC support though.User experienceThe Epson Home Cinema 2350 is quite large measuring at 10.8 x 13.1 x 4.8 inches and weighing 9 pounds. It includes a foot in the front to elevate it when placing it on a surface, but I found this to be a little wobbly due to the size and weight. Despite also having adjustable feet on the back, I still found it a little challenging to get the picture straight. However, at least the keystone correction worked well for fixing the offset.Having only one HDMI port can seem a little limiting, but with the built-in Android TV dongle covering most of your streaming needs, then it won’t feel too bad. It would be tough to connect multiple consoles or a dedicated Blu-ray player along with a console though.While I am a big fan of Android TV, I did come across an issue. The Apple TV app is not compatible with the dongle on the Home Cinema 2350. That’s a shame, because the Apple TV app is one of the apps with the highest streaming quality and Apple has some great original programming.Another issue that popped up was the error message I received when connecting my PlayStation 5. Regardless of using a compatible HDMI cable, the Epson Home Cinema 2350 cannot display the PS5 in 4K with HDR. Instead, you are given the choice of 1080p with HDR or 4K in SDR. That was a bummer, because I was looking forward to playing games in 4K HDR blown up at over 100 inches. It also meant I couldn’t watch the Apple TV app from my PS5 in 4K HDR.On the bright side, I never noticed any input lag that affected my gaming performance, and games still looked nice at 1080p in HDR.Even though the Epson Home Cinema 2350 has a bright 2,800-lumen bulb, it still wasn’t enough to enjoy content on a sunny day. You’ll definitely need a dark room to fully enjoy the Home Cinema 2350, and be warned that the fan is quite loud and this projector generates a lot of heat. Not so bad in the winter, but it’ll be a different story in the summer.Video qualityWhile it’s true the Epson Home Cinema 2350 lacks native 4K support, I was still quite impressed with the sharpness while watching 4K and 1080p content with it. I tested several movies and shows from various streaming services over the past few weeks, and not only was I satisfied with the sharpness, but also by the lack of rainbowing.If you’ve ever experienced rainbowing, then you know just how distracting it can be. It was such a relief to not have to worry about that with the Home Cinema 2350.One area I wasn’t that impressed with was the dynamic range. However, after some tweaking with the brightness levels, I was able to get much better results. I found the blacks to be on point, providing spectacular contrast in dark scenes and some great brightness in the highlights.While gaming on the Home Cinema 2350, I was more than satisfied with the video quality, even though it was running at 1080p so I could take advantage of HDR. I would have thought it was 4K if I hadn’t known any better, and this was even blown up at over 100 inches on the wall sitting around 10 feet back from the picture.I did try running games at 4K a couple of times but the increased resolution didn’t make as big of an impact as HDR, so I quickly changed back.Audio qualityThere is a 10W speaker inside of the Epson Home Cinema 2350 projector that left me underwhelmed. It has plenty of volume to override the considerable fan noise, but it lacked depth and bass. It works fine, but it doesn’t live up to the picture quality, and hopefully, if you purchase this projector you’ll have a better audio system to go with it.Bluetooth is built into the included Android TV dongle making that an option for external audio, however, it won’t work with any other HDMI devices you connect to the Home Cinema 2350.Final thoughtsThe Epson Home Cinema 2350 has a lot going for it. It offers a sharp faux 4K picture, uses a bright 2,800-lumen bulb with support for HDR, and features a 3-chip LCD system that prevents rainbowing.Regardless, it does have a few flaws, such as the lack of 4K with HDR support on the PlayStation 5, the speaker is mediocre, and the incompatibility with the Apple TV app when using the built-in Android TV stick. Depending on your needs, some of these might be a dealbreaker, while some might be easy to work around.If you only plan to watch movies and add your own streaming dongle, then the Home Cinema 2350 would make a fantastic addition to your home theater. It is even great for gaming with the PS5, as long as you’re ok with running them at 4K without HDR or 1080p with HDR. The Epson Home Cinema 2350 is currently available from Amazon for $1,090 or $1,300 from Epson’s website.Buy from Amazon Buy from Epson

T-Mobile announced Phone Freedom today, which includes a new mobile plan and a limited time offer to try to tempt users into switching over to the Un-carrier. The new plan is entitled the Go5G, and T-Mobile refers to it as a “supercharged version of Magenta MAX.” That’s pretty accurate because it offers everything people love about Magenta MAX, including taxes and fees bundled into the price, Netflix and Apple TV+, 15GB of high-speed data in Canada and Mexico, 50GB of data for mobile hotspots, and more. There’s even a Go5G Plus for more demanding users.How T-Mobile hopes to lure over users from other carriers is with the promise of a new phone every two years with New In Two.

The promo is called The Easy Unlock, and it will provide you with up to $650 via a prepaid Mastercard to pay off your current locked device before allowing you to trade it in for a new one on the T-Mobile network. It’s a limited time promotion though, so jump on it while you can if you’re interested in switching.Along with The Easy Unlock, T-Mobile is also giving customers an easy-out option with its Go Back Guarantee. If you are unsatisfied with the service, T-Mobile will allow you to switch back within the first 30 days, and give you $50 per voice line to cover the cost of your bill.Lastly, T-Mobile is lowering the price of its Essentials plan with prices starting as low as $25 a month per line when a family of four signs up. Otherwise, it will cost a single user $50 a month for 50GB of premium data with unlimited minutes, texts, and data.It’s also important to note that all of these plans come with Price Lock, which guarantees new accounts with qualifying service will keep their regular monthly rate plan price excluding taxes and fees. Phone Freedom officially launches on April 23, 2023, while The Easy Unlock and Essential Savings are available for a limited time.
