Week 16 in review: Motorola Edge and Edge+ are here, iPhone SE still makes waves

Last week was full of announcements, rumors and other exciting stories. Let's sort through the most popular.

Motorola dropped the Edge+ and Edge with 'Endless Edge' waterfall OLED displays that run at 90Hz. The Edge does with a 64MP main camera, while the Edge+ has a top of the line 108MP snapper.

The Snapdragon 865-powered Motorola Edge+ is coming to Verizon on May 14, priced at $1,000. It will also hit global markets in May for €1,199. The Snapdragon 765G Motorola Edge will launch in Europe, Latin America and the Asia Pacific in May followed by the US later on, priced at €599.

The iPhone SE (2020) was spotted on AnTuTu and its score seemed to suggest its A13 Bionic chipset is underclocked compared to the iPhone 11 series. It yielded a result that's closer to an A12 Bionic-powered iPhone XS than the iPhone 11.

Meanwhile a teardown showed just how similar the iPhone SE (2020) is to the iPhone 8, even working when the motherboard of one was transplanted to the other. The affordable phone also finally went on sale in the first wave of 40 countries on Friday.

While on the topic of iPhones, a leaked schematic showed what the smaller notch on the iPhone 12 might look like. According to renowned Apple insider Min-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 12 will be delayed by at least 1 month, though.

Samsung revealed that it aims to deliver a sensor that can outdo the human eye's capabilities of perception. According to the Korean company it would need a 500MP to pull it off, but it actually aims for 600MP just to be on the safe side.

A pair of phones with 144Hz refresh screens launched last week. The vivo iQOO Neo3 packs a Snapdragon 865 and 44W charging for just $380, while the nubia Play 5G has a Snapdragon 765G and a 5,100mAh battery.

Those were the highlights of last week. See you next one!

Both phones will have "Endless Edge" screens, i.e. very curved OLED displays. Both have 90Hz refresh rate and an in-display fingerprint reader.

The A13 Bionic chipset in the $399 iPhone is closer to an iPhone XS Max than an iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Samsung's finest scores 132 on photo and 102 on video, adding up to a 122 total score.

The notch is significantly smaller and packs the same sensors as before.

The human eye can perceive the equivalent of a 500MP image.

The most affordable Snapdragon 865 phone was just unveiled in China.

The phone will have Snapdragon 765G, three cameras, a curved screen.

This is the most affordable phone with a 144Hz display on the market.

Galaxy Watch users will soon be able to measure their blood pressure on the go.

An official apology has already been issued, explaining the situation as an unfortunate blunder.

The Mi 10 Youth will support 5G networks and may have a Snapdragon 765G SoC under the hood.

A teardown video shows the iPhone SE’s stark, internal similarities with the iPhone 8’s internals.

The phone is available for purchase in Portugal, costs €500.

The refreshed nova series brings quad cameras, 5G and 4,000 mAh batteries.

The analysts predicts that Apple will unveil the four new models simultaneously in September, but they will launch in stages.

It supports dual-mode 5G and comes with a total of six cameras - two on the front and four at the back.

It will be powered by the Snapdragon 865 SoC and come with a 108MP primary camera.

The tablet is supposed to be unveiled alongside the Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth, so check back next week to see how much (if any) of this proved to be true.
