A recent leak hinted at a redesigned rear camera module, and now, a tipster has shared fresh details about the phone’s primary camera sensor. Tipster Smart Pikachu shared details about the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s primary camera on Weibo. According to the leak, Samsung is currently testing a 200MP main sensor with a variable aperture for its next-generation flagship. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Samsung last offered a variable aperture camera with the Samsung Galaxy S10 series....

Evan Blass, the man behind the famous @evleaks X (formerly Twitter) account, has announced that he's retiring the account after some 14 years. Blass doesn't go into detail, but says that leaking phones and posting wallpapers, at this point in his life, isn't a fruitful pursuit. He adds that through his work as @evleaks, he's unable to support a steady income, and going a bit deeper, admits he can't afford an important prescription - Blass was diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disorder) in 2014. Evan Blass has been the source of countless leaks on our and many...

OnePlus recently launched the Ace 6 Ultra in China, expanding its Ace 6 lineup. Now, early details about the next-generation Ace 7 series have begun to emerge, with a new leak shedding light on key specifications of the upcoming phones. According to a tipster on Weibo, the OnePlus Ace 7 could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The tipster further claims that OnePlus is testing the phone with an in-built active cooling fan. OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra If accurate, this would mark a first for the Ace series. Even the recently launched Ace 6 Ultra relies on an external...

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip (and Z Fold) series is preparing to enter its eighth generation later this year, and we have a new report from South Korea that highlights some of the possible changes coming to the flip model. Samsung is expected to bring a crease-free folding panel alongside a new hinge mechanism. The new report does not go into detail, but we can assume Samsung will employ dual-layer Ultra Thin Glass (UTG), just like it is rumored to do with the Z Fold8. Galaxy Z Flip8 render Z Flip8 is said to be slightly taller than the outgoing model, and despite the upgraded hardware,...

Lenovo has revealed new details about its upcoming Legion Y70 (2026) smartphone. Last month, the company confirmed its return to the smartphone market with an upgraded Legion Y70, which is set to be unveiled in China on May 19. The handset will feature a Motorola-inspired design and will be available in two color options. It is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (non-Elite) SoC. In a couple of teasers shared on Weibo, Lenovo confirmed that the Legion Y70 will sport a 2K resolution display that is claimed to be more efficient than 1.5K resolution panels in the...

The Nord Buds 4 Pro is yet another pair of wireless earbuds in OnePlus’s growing and confusing lineup. These are the most premium earbuds in the company’s low-end lineup, but below the non-Pro numbered lineup and Pro numbered lineup, and also the non-numbered Pro lineup…. Anyway, it’s best not to get too much into the weeds with this, as at this point it’s doubtful if even people at OnePlus can keep track of these. The Nord Buds 4 Pro are still aimed at being an affordable pair of wireless earbuds, but with many of the niceties that you now expect in more premium earbuds, such as...

After losing the top spot last week, the Samsung Galaxy A57 is now back as the most popular smartphone in our database for the past seven days. Better yet for Samsung, it's followed by the Galaxy S26 Ultra, while last week's champion - the Honor 600 Pro completes the podium. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14320, 1#] The Oppo Find X9 Ultra slipped to fourth with the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max hot on its heels. Newly unveiled OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra took the sixth position, while the Galaxy A17 and Infinix GT50 Pro came in seventh and eight. The Poco X8 pair took the final two point-paying...

It's time to upgrade your Galaxy, or you've decided that you want something fresh altogether, and the new Galaxy S26 series popped up on your radar. In case the fun-sized Samsung Galaxy S26 meets your needs, then you must definitely be considering the older Samsung Galaxy S25 as well. It's a slightly more affordable alternative to the Galaxy S26 and offers essentially the same user experience. If you have not been following Samsung's Galaxy S evolution for the last few years, you might have missed the fact that upgrades each year are few and far between, which in turn pushes consumers to...

In late 2025, WhatsApp's beta version of the app hinted at an upcoming design overhaul, in line with the so-called Liquid Glass design language that Apple started using with its most recent iOS. Users started reporting small UI elements being redesigned along with the main chat screen. A new report from WABetaInfo, however, suggests that WhatsApp is almost ready to release a redesigned in-chat interface. Interestingly, the changes aren't available even to beta users, but WABetaInfo managed to activate the new interface that now includes a floating chat bar and a translucent navigation...

The Apple iPhone Air wasn’t the first super-slim phone, but it was the phone that started the craze, anyway – Apple has that effect on the market. Right now, the phone is up to €480 off. That gets you a 6.5” LTPO display (120Hz) and the powerful Apple A19 Pro chipset. The 3,149mAh battery is oh-so-small, but it still achieved a decent 12:44h Active Use Score – and there’s a variety of MagSafe products out there that can help to extend the runtime. There’s no fixing the single 48MP (1/1.56”) camera situation, though. Apple...

Recent Chinese Ultra smartphones are very formidable imaging tools, and you could say that the Oppo Find X9 Ultra is at the absolute top of that pile. But it's always exciting when you can augment what's already great so you can expand its use. And there's hardly a better way than with these new and evolving photography kits we're getting for recent smartphones. Today, we've got a slightly different set of accessories to unbox - the Khronos Creator Kit for the Oppo Find X9 Ultra. Made by Tilta, this is quite the extensive video-capture kit. When fully assembled, it's a camera cage with...

vivo set the benchmark with the X300 Ultra – a €2,000 camera flagship – while the Xiaomi 17 Ultra has a “modest” €1,500 price. Now the Oppo Find X9 Ultra looks to topple the competition with an in-between price tag of €1,700. The phone certainly impressed in our review, though the outcome of the vivo vs. Oppo Ultra final battle is yet to be decided. We also went hands-on with the Hasselblad Earth Explorer Kit for the Oppo Find X9 Ultra. This kit contains a 300mm add-on lens, an adapter for 67mm filters and a lens collar with a tripod mount. Oppo Find X9 Ultra If you think that the...

In Europe, the Honor 600 Pro is 43% more expensive than the vanilla model. However, in Malaysia, the upcharge is only 27% – and that makes a difference. The Pro was always the better phone between these two, the only question was whether its higher price was worth it. Memory Honor 600 Honor 600 Pro 12/256GB €650 - - MYR 3,100 12/512GB €700 MYR 2,600 €1,000 MYR 3,300 Based on last week’s poll, the answer is a resounding “yes”. Okay, the Honor 600 Pro is not the hottest new phone in town and price...

After yet another modest upgrade, you might be wondering what would be the most sensible pick between the newly released Samsung Galaxy S26+ and the year-old Samsung Galaxy S25+. After all, it looks like the latter gets you a lot of the way there at a more reasonable starting price. But not everything becomes immediately apparent from the spec sheet alone. There are still some under-the-hood changes that need exploring. One example is the chipset. With the S26 series, Samsung is back to the dual-chip strategy for the majority of the markets, leaving places like Europe and South Korea with...

Mother’s Day is Sunday next week and we’re already seeing some shipping times slip to after the holiday. Most phones will still arrive on time, however. Admittedly, the Nothing Phone (3) probably won’t be mom’s first pick – but with a $200 discount, this Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 powered phone offers a good balance between performance and camera quality. It has a large 50MP 1/1.3” sensor in the main camera, a 50MP 3x telephoto camera, a 50MP ultra wide (114°) and a 50MP selfie camera. The phone has a 6.67” 10-bit OLED display on the front and the customizable Glyph Matrix on the back. It runs...

Apple launched the M4 chip-powered Mac Mini in 2024, with its base model having 256GB of storage. This model went out of stock on Apple's online store last month in some countries, including the US, and has now been removed from Apple's website worldwide. As a result, the new base storage for the M4 Mac Mini on Apple's website is 512GB, which costs $799 with the default 16GB RAM option. There are two more RAM options - 24GB and 32GB. If you want more storage, you can upgrade to 1TB or 2TB. If you upgrade to the M4 Pro chip, you can get the Mac Mini with up to 64GB RAM and up to 8TB...

Xiaomi unveiled the Civi 5 Pro last May, so we are expecting the Chinese brand to launch its successor soon. We haven't heard anything about the Civi 6 Pro from Xiaomi yet, but when it arrives, it will have the Dimensity 9500 SoC under the hood. The word comes from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, who also said that the Xiaomi Civi 6 Pro will pack a 6.83" 1.5K display and feature a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 5x zoom. Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro Furthermore, DCS said that Xiaomi will also launch Civi 6, which will come with the Dimensity 8500 chip, a 6.59" 1.5K display, and...

Realme launched the Realme 15T last September, and its successor, the 16T, is rumored to arrive soon. While there's no word from Realme about the 16T's launch yet, a Realme device bearing model code RMX5268 and rumored to be the Realme 16T, has appeared on Geekbench with its key specs. The RMX5268 scored 784 and 2,007 points in Geekbench's single and multi-core tests, respectively. It's listed in the benchmark database with Android 16 and 8GB RAM; however, a previous rumor claimed the 16T will also offer a 6GB RAM option. Realme 15T Powering the RMX5268 is MediaTek's MT6835...

Samsung may actually be losing money on its new Galaxy S26 series. The phones have been on discount since day 1 and continue to be. Other Samsung devices such as the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy Z Flip7 have also received discounts. Phones from Google, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Apple have received price cuts as well. The Samsung Galaxy S26+ and the Galaxy S26 Ultra are on sale with a £170 discount. Notably, customers can also get £100 off at checkout. The Galaxy S26, on the other hand, is only eligible for the £100 off. Samsung Galaxy...

The RAM crisis is expected to heavily influence smartphone pricing going forward, but apparently Apple won't be fazed by any of it. According to a new research note from analyst Jeff Pu, Apple is preparing some "aggressive pricing" for its upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Unfortunately, Pu doesn't put a number on that, and leaves us speculating. But past reports from Ming-Chi Kuo have stated that both Pro models would start at the same prices as their predecessors. In the US, that's $1,099 for the iPhone 18 Pro and $1,199 for the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Everything other than...

Realme first launched the C100 in some parts of Asia earlier this month, and now the device is being listed in Europe left and right. It's priced at €269 with 128GB of storage and €299 with 256GB. It will be up for grabs in Sprouting Green and Blooming Purple, with 4GB of RAM. In Europe, the phone has a battery with a rated capacity of 6,600 mAh, that's going to be advertised as a larger typical capacity as always happens, but it won't quite reach the 7,000 mAh its Asian sibling has. Realme C100 in Sprouting Green and Blooming Purple The rest of the European C100 is expected to...

Next year the original iPhone turns 20 - or rather, it's the 20th anniversary of its launch, as we doubt any units are still around. Apple has long been rumored to be planning something special to mark the occasion, and a few days ago a report talked about a 20th anniversary iPhone coming with a quad-curved screen. As it turns out, that won't be a special anniversary iPhone model - instead, that rumor was actually talking about a redesign coming to the Pro series. So the iPhone Pro and Pro Max released in 2027 will have that quad-curved screen design, which Chinese smartphone makers had...

Spotify has started to verify non-AI artists, in a bid to increase "authenticity and trust for the artists behind the music". It's also a surefire way to imply that any artist who isn't verified is most likely AI. The Verified by Spotify badge will signify that the artist in question has consistent listener activity and engagement over time, a good standing with Spotify's platform policies, and "an identifiable artist presence both on and off-platform, like concert dates, merch, and linked social accounts". It goes without saying, but AI-generated or AI-persona artists are not...

At the beginning of every month, AnTuTu publishes charts showing us which devices had the best average score the previous month. So now these are available for April. Keep in mind that these are averages, not high scores, and that only benchmarks completed in China count. Without further ado, let's start with the flagship realm, where the iQOO 15 Ultra dominates, followed by the iQOO 15 and the RedMagic 11 Pro+. As you can see, the Realme GT 8 Pro was next, followed by the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra, the Honor Magic8 Pro, the Honor Magic8, and the vivo X300 Ultra....

The vivo S50 got unveiled in December alongside the S50 Pro mini, and today vivo also announced the S50t. Now, if you're wondering what's different in this model compared to the original S50, brace yourself, as it's just one detail and we're willing to bet you can't guess what. If you said "the UFS storage version", then you're correct. The S50 uses UFS 4.1 storage, while the S50t goes with the older (and cheaper) UFS 3.1. That's it. That's the only difference. In every other respect, the two handsets are identical. So, the S50t, like the S50, comes with a 6.59-inch 1260x2750 AMOLED...

The AirPods Max are the only full-sized headphones Apple has ever made. It was certainly a surprise when the original model first dropped back in 2020, still bearing the AirPods name despite not being particularly pod-like. At $549, they were also expensive, even compared to the other premium wireless headphones on the market. And then they just sat there without receiving many updates, with the 2024 iteration only introducing a USB-C port and new colors. Six years from that original release, Apple has finally launched the AirPods Max 2. At first, second, or maybe even a third glance,...

Microsoft has officially announced that it's started to roll out Xbox Mode to Windows 11 "in select markets". It will be available on desktops, laptops, and tablets, and it promises to bring "a console-inspired Xbox experience to more players than ever". Xbox Mode makes it easier to jump into your games, with a controller-optimized full screen experience "that is built for play". Xbox Mode's "streamlined interface" puts your library and recently played titles within easy reach, and it also minimizes background distractions. It lets you browse and launch games with your controller...

Xiaomi launched the Smart Band 9 Pro in October of 2024, and now it looks like the company is hard at work on its successor. According to a new rumor out of China, the Smart Band 10 Pro could launch as early as next month. Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro It will allegedly be offered in black, white, silver, orange, and pink, and, interestingly enough, there will be a white ceramic version too. The standard, non-ceramic iteration is said to weigh less than 40g, while the ceramic option is over 50g. The build quality is apparently very good. More details will probably be outed soon, so stay...

Apple has announced its financial results for the quarter ending March 28. In a press release, the company reported revenue of $111.2 billion, marking a 17 percent increase compared to Q2 last year.

He added that Apple’s Services segment reached an all-time high. Meanwhile, Apple’s CFO Kevan Parekh revealed that Apple generated over $28 billion in operating cash flow. In a...

Oppo unveiled the Find X9 Ultra in China last week, and in our review, we found it to be a great cameraphone with a capable camera system that captures great stills, whether it's day or night. While we obviously clicked all the pictures with the Find X9 Ultra on Earth, if anyone was curious how Oppo's flagship takes photos of the Earth from outside its atmosphere, Oppo's got you covered. Oppo teamed up with the folks at the YouTube channel SentIntoSpace to send the Find X9 Ultra to the edge of Space and capture the Earth with the phone's cameras. You can watch the video below to see the...

vivo is expected to unveil the X Fold6 within the next two months. If the company follows its usual release cycle, the foldable could arrive in June. Ahead of any official confirmation, new details about the device have surfaced online. Initial details about the vivo X Fold6 surfaced in November last year, suggesting it would feature a 200MP camera and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset.

Despite the ongoing memory chip crisis, Omdia reported a 1% rise in global smartphone shipments for Q1. Total shipments during the first three months of the year reached 298.5 million units, fueled by vendor front-loading. This is when smartphone companies strategically push inventory volumes in anticipation of rising component costs. Samsung regained the title as the world’s number one smartphone brand, thanks to 65.4 million shipments for the period, which represents an 8% rise compared to the same time last year. The Galaxy S26 series is seeing strong demand, and the recently...

According to a new rumor, Samsung is currently working on Galaxy Book branded laptops that will run Android 17 with One UI 9 on top. Before you think that's insane, remember that Google itself is in the (very lengthy) process of merging ChromeOS with Android. What will come out of that is Aluminum OS, which itself is based on Android. Now it's not clear if these Samsung laptops will actually be running that, or if the Korean company is developing its own One UI 9 layer for laptops in order to simply slap it onto normal phone-oriented Android 17, unfortunately this report doesn't go into...

Apple is rumored to be getting really serious about Ultra branding in the coming months, with the iPhone Fold expected to actually be launched as the iPhone Ultra. There will also be a MacBook Ultra, and a new pair of AirPods Ultra. These will basically be the AirPods Pro 3, but with added cameras. The cameras will be used by Siri - that is, the new, revamped, AI-ified Siri powered by Gemini, which is (hopefully) finally coming in iOS 27 later this year. The AirPods Ultra have been rumored before, and presumably those cameras will be there so you can ask Siri about what you're...

Google says this new feature "will allow you to easily move your work into different applications" without the need to copy, paste, and reformat. For most of the supported formats, once Gemini has created the file you asked it for,...

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 series has recently been rumored to arrive with a big design overhaul - moving the camera island. In fact, the Galaxy S27 Ultra could look something like this: This is not a leaked image, it's just a speculative render based on the aforementioned rumor. From the same source, the prolific Ice Universe, comes another revelation: Samsung is going to be changing the S27 Ultra in the actual camera department too, not just the location of the camera island. Apparently, the 3x telephoto camera from the S26 Ultra (and its predecessors) will be gone in the S27...
