“Renders show Samsung Galaxy S23 with new camera island”
It still has a while before the Samsung Galaxy S23 series appears, but renders have already surfaced. The well-known tasty OnLeaks took computer images of the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus. They give a good idea of the design, although there may still be small errors.
The renders show that Samsung does not visibly adjust the design compared to the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus. The corners of the screen seem to be slightly rounder, but otherwise the differences on the front are very small. The back shows a bigger change.

“Indications: Google may bring Pixel 7 (Pro) to the Netherlands”
Google previously announced a major event on October 6. There we expect to hear more about the new smartphones, the Pixel Watch, a new Nest Hub and much more brand new hardware. Google Netherlands is never so generous with responding to the annual Google event, but this year is different.
A few days ago, for example, there was a tweet on the official Dutch account, with the announcement poster of the event. The simple question we ask is why Google would pay attention to an event.

‘Official renders show unannounced Motorola Moto G72’
Motorola may be releasing a new smartphone in the form of the Moto G72 ahead of time. The device can now be seen on leaked renders. We see both the front and back of the Motorola Moto G72, we know it comes in different colors. The screen has a small hole at the top for the selfie camera and a thicker edge.
The Moto G72 gets a fingerprint scanner under the screen and is probably (partially) waterproof. On the back is a triple camera, with a main camera of 108 megapixels. We don’t see this high resolution very often on midrange phones.

Get checked: new Chromecast has less hardware
The new Chromecast with Google TV (HD) is a few tens cheaper than the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) – and logically has different specifications. For example, the device can stream in full HD quality (1080p) instead of 4K, but the hardware is also less powerful. Before the official unveiling, reports surfaced that it would have less RAM and a simpler processor.
Now that we have the Chromecast with Google TV (HD) in our hands, we can check this. We used AIDA64 for this, a simple app that can view your system information from Android devices. The app is mainly intended for smartphones, but also works on the new Chromecast.
