Pebble founder wants to release a compact Android smartphone with a good camera and quality materials
It is quite possible that a compact smartphone from the founder of Pebble will appear on the market in the foreseeable future.
Eric Migicovsky, who founded the acclaimed Pebble, is literally now gathering a new team to release a compact smartphone with Andorid. In fact, at the moment there is no company that will eventually be created for these purposes. Now the Small Android Phone team is only discussing options, but even now the participants are trying to decide on the characteristics.
The team now includes several former Pebble employees, including the founder, GoPro designer, MongoBD manager, and other enthusiasts. Interestingly, it all started, in fact, simply with the cry of Migikowski on the Web for someone to make a good compact smartphone. But, as we know, even the iPhone mini sold very mediocrely.
However, perhaps they were too small. The Small Android Phone team has not yet finalized the dimensions, but has repeatedly mentioned, firstly, that the screen should be less than 6.1 inches diagonally, and secondly, the participants often mentioned ZenFone 9 with a 5-screen diagonal as a reference point. 9 inches.
The team’s designer even already has a number of sketches, although it’s hard to say what the smartphone will be like in the end. But the team definitely focuses on good photo opportunities as well. In addition, apparently, the emphasis will be placed on the materials of the case, along with the tactile sensations of users.
In terms of performance, the smartphone will definitely be very powerful, but not necessarily one of the best. The team is currently looking at two platforms: the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and a mid-range Qualcomm chip that has yet to be released. Although, perhaps, this meant the new SoC Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2, which was just announced the other day, but has not yet hit the market. By the way, such a selection of platforms hints that the smartphone will not be released sometime in a few years, but relatively soon. Perhaps in a year and a half.
There is a guideline for the price: about $ 850.

It will not be an iPhone 16 Pro Max, but almost a tablet. A well-known insider confirmed the increase in screen sizes in the new iPhone
Well-known Bloomberg journalist and insider Mark Gurman confirmed the recently appeared information that in the iPhone 16 line, each model will have its own screen size.
More specifically, the iPhone 16 Pro should get a 6.3-inch display instead of the usual 6.1 inches, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max display will grow from 6.7 to 6.9 inches. On the one hand, this will make the older model stand out on the market with its impressive dimensions, on the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro will become more attractive for those for whom 6.1 inches was not enough, and 6.7 inches in Pro Max was already a lot.
Considering that the well-known insider Ming-Chi Kuo also spoke about the increase in older iPhones, there are no particular doubts about such changes in the iPhone. On the other hand, there is still more than a year before the release of this line, which cannot be discounted.

The Honor 90 Pro outperformed the Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro. Honor smartphone screen does not flicker at all
The fact that smartphones of the Honor 90 line will support an unprecedented PWM frequency of 3840 Hz has been reported repeatedly, but now there are clear comparisons of what this actually gives.
In the photo above – the Oppo smartphone of the Reno 10 line with a PWM frequency of 2160 Hz and Honor 90 Pro with a PWM frequency of 3840 Hz, and in the video below – the same Honor 90 Pro (in the middle) compared to the iPhone 14 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. As you can see, only the Honor 90 Pro does not have a flickering screen.
According to preliminary data, Honor 90 Pro will receive a 1.5K screen, Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC and a 200-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL HP3 image sensor. The official premiere of Honor 90 is already tomorrow.

The top smartphone Meizu 20 Infinity Unbounded Edition with a “frameless” ultra-wide screen has finally gone on sale in China. Price – from 890 dollars
The Meizu 20 Infinity Unbounded Edition smartphone debuted in China along with its “brothers” Meizu 20 and Meizu 20 Pro on March 30. And if those same “brothers” have been on sale for a long time, it has only just now come to the start of sales of the Meizu 20 Infinity Unbounded Edition.
So far, the device is available for pre-order in three versions: 12/256 GB for $890, 12/512 GB for $1030 and 16 GB / 1 TB for $1200. Real retail sales will start in China on June 12.
The highlight of the Meizu 20 Infinity Unbounded Edition is the 6.79-inch BOE Q9 OLED screen with a resolution of 3192 x 1368 pixels. The manufacturer presents the smartphone as frameless, but in fact there is a screen frame, and quite noticeable. However, the choice of smartphones with displays with a “cinema” aspect ratio of 21: 9 is small, so there will definitely be a buyer for the novelty.
Among other equipment – SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a camera with sensors with a resolution of 50 (Sony IMX766, with OIS), 12 and 12 MP, a 4800 mAh battery (it supports 65 W wired charging and 50 W wireless power).
