The Google Pixel 5, Apple’s iPad Air, and more devices are on sale today. The official news today, as always, begins with deals, and yes, guys, we’re very close to Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked, so the Samsung deals are still going. First, remember that you can already reserve the Galaxy S21, allowing you to get up to $700 in trade-in and $60 in credit to get some accessories to go with. The problem is today is the last day, so act quickly. If you want a Galaxy S21 variant, check out the first link in the description.
Moving on but sticking to trade-ins, you can get the Galaxy S20 FE for a crazy $75 or the S20 Ultra for $600. The Z Fold 2 is available for $1000, and the Z Flip is still a crazy $100, but you need an eligible device to trade in. The Google Pixel 4 is currently $295 off its original price tag on Amazon, leaving it at $503 shipped. Speaking of Amazon, they have a massive sale on their intelligent speakers; the new Echo Dot is $20 off, meaning you can get it for $30 shipped. The Echo Show 5 is $45 off, leaving it at $45 shipped, and the Echo Studio is still $30 off, so you can get it at $170 shipped. We have more deals on iPad Pros, True Wireless Earbuds, and more in the links in the description.
Yes, CES 2021 is still going on, and like yesterday, we’re compiling all of our favorite single launches from the past couple of days as the show is winding down as we go further in the week. Let’s start with Alienware, as they just announced their new laptops, the M15, and the M17 R4, which are the company’s thinnest laptops. They deliver faster and a more decisive competitive edge as they are powered by NVIDIA’s RTX 30 Series, bringing other features like an optional 360Hz panel, which should come in handy for titles like Cyberpunk or Valiant. For gaming laptops, of course.
Speaking of powerful laptops, MSI released five new laptops powered by the RTX 30 Series, rocking Intel’s new 11th Gen Core H Series processors. I guess we know where the 70 computers are coming from. MSI is packing some crazy features as well, including 300Hz displays, GDDR6 RAM, and more. Roborock just announced their S7 robot vacuum, offering a 5200 mAh battery and impressive numbers when it comes to suction and scrubs, all in the same clean design. Finally, HP has been having a busy year; a couple of days ago, they launched a couple of laptops, and now we get the P34HC, a 34-curved monitor aimed at creators. It has a 21:9 aspect ratio at WQHD resolution and goes up to 250 nits. Of course, the show is still going on; we have a ton more coverage on Pocketnow.com and the links to articles for all of these products in the links in the description.
The new leak reveals OPPO Find X3 Pro in all its glory.
Now let’s talk about the successor to my favorite display on a smartphone in 2020, the possible OPPO Find X3 Pro. Many leaks and rumors have been popping up for this series lately, but we have probably the most significant leak yet. Evan Blass is back at it again, posting some high-resolution renders of the Find X3 Pro. We get to see the phone in 4 different color variants: white, black, blue, and something resembling copper. The camera module is taking some cues from the iPhone 12 Pro regarding the design, even though the hump is pretty Samsung, I would say. It’s supposed to feature the primary sensor, a wide-angle lens, a telephoto, and a macro lens, and according to older leaks, we should expect two unannounced 50MP sensors from Sony. We’re expecting a 6.7 WQHD+ panel running an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate for the display. It’ll most likely be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G, a 4500 mAh battery that will support 65W charging and 30W wireless charging. We’ll be getting the Find X3 Pro around April or late March, so leaks should only intensify from here.
Let’s talk about Apple’s AirTags, which have been heavily rumored and leaked over the past few months. In 2019, MacRumors recovered some screenshots of how the Find My app would work with these trackers. Well, now, someone found a hidden “Items” tab in the Find My app that can be enabled on your iPhone or iPad if you type a specific link into Safari, and it’ll take you to this tab in the Find My app. Once you type in the link and it redirects you to the “Me” tab, it tells you to “Keep Track of Your Everyday Items” like you’re keys and your bag, and it even shows a bike.
It also allows you to search for a lost item, but that won’t work at the moment because the Tags aren’t precisely out. If you haven’t been paying attention, AirTags will be Apple’s tile-like trackers, which Apple referenced in previous videos. According to famed leaker Jon Prosser who’s proven to be wrong rarely, these are ready to go, but we don’t know when Apple plans to announce them just yet, and it looks like Samsung will be beating them to the punch tomorrow. Your guess is as good as mine regarding why we’re waiting, but March will be the closest ticket to launch.
