Compact and minimalist: presented smartphone Balmuda Phone from the manufacturer of expensive toasters
The Japanese company Balmuda, which became famous mainly as a designer and manufacturer of expensive minimalist toasters, entered a new market for itself – it presented its first smartphone.
Balmuda produces small household devices, expensive and interesting in their design and functionality, as well as computer accessories.
The model received the unpretentious name Balmuda Phone. It is a compact smartphone with a minimalist style. The CEO of Balmuda explained during a presentation in Tokyo that smartphones have become too large and bulky in recent years, so compactness and elegance were the main goals when developing the Balmuda Phone.
Balmuda Phone received a 4.9-inch Full HD display. Its dimensions are 123×69 mm, and the back cover is strongly curved – 13.7 mm at its thickest point.
The front camera is embedded in the screen, the resolution is 8 megapixels. The back cover also has two large cutouts – in the upper right corner there is a 48 megapixel main camera, and in the upper left there is a fingerprint scanner.
The hardware base is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 SoC, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal flash memory. The battery received a capacity of 2500 mAh. The smartphone is running the Android 11 operating system with a heavily redesigned interface.
The Balmuda Phone will go on sale in Japan at the end of November for $ 920. Such inflated prices are traditional for the Japanese smartphone market, and Balmuda itself usually produces devices in an expensive price segment with an emphasis on design. There is no information about the release on the international market yet.
Initial reviews from reviewers are generally positive. They note that the unusual shape is noticeably more comfortable than that of the flat 6-inch smartphones, which now dominate the market.

The long-awaited Always-On Display in the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will allow you to display widgets from the lock screen
All the latest data indicates that at least the older smartphones of the iPhone 14 line will receive Always-On Display support.
According to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, the Always-On Display on the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max models will allow new widgets created for the lock screen to be displayed on the screen.
This means that not only the clock can be displayed on the off screen, but also the calendar, unread messages, weather forecast, stock quotes, and so on. All that is in the form of widgets for the lock screen. How it will be possible to interact with such data in Always-On Display mode is still unknown.
The older models of the new generation, we recall, are credited with 120 Hz screens that are capable of reducing the frame rate to 1 Hz. This will allow smartphones to consume battery power very economically in Always-On Display mode.

According to the latest information released by trusted source Digital Chat Station, the iQOO 10 will be the first phone based on the single cryo-published Dimensity 9000+ system.
The Mediatek platform was only announced last week as an improved version of the Dimensity 9000. It has a slight CPU and GPU performance boost, as well as some improvements. The high-performance Cortex-X2 core operates at clock speeds up to 3.2GHz. The Taiwanese manufacturer promised that the first devices with this platform will be released in the third quarter.
According to previous reports, iQOO 10 should also use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2 SoC. It seems that iQOO is going to release two versions of the new flagships, offering the customer the choice.
The iQOO 10 is also expected to support 200W ultra-fast charging technology, which will fully charge the battery in just 12 minutes. This will be a new record.
The iQOO 10 will reportedly use a side-curved LTPO 2K screen with 120Hz refresh rate support and a large-area ultrasonic fingerprint under the screen. The main camera will be 50 megapixels.
Digital Chat Station was the first to accurately announce the specifications and release dates of Redmi K50 and Xiaomi 12.
