For quite a while now, Oppo's upcoming Find X10 family has been rumored to include the Find X10 Pro Max. However, a new rumor from the prolific Digital Chat Station on Weibo today says things may not be looking up for this model. Specifically, DCS thinks the Find X10 Pro Max could get delayed or cancelled altogether.

Apple's iPhone 19 Pro and iPhone 19 Pro Max prototypes are currently undergoing testing with quad-curved screens, according to a new rumor from the prolific Chinese leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo. We have heard back in April that Apple's 2027 Pro series would employ such panels, which is a bit ironic seeing as how quad-curved screens used to be all the rage with Chinese Android smartphone makers, until they all decided to copy Apple and go the flat route.

The first build is identified as S741NKSU0AZE5, and the Korean S26 FE's model number is now confirmed to be SM-S741N.

Yesterday, Xiaomi officially announced the launch date for the 17T and 17T Pro: May 28. Today, the company's arm in India has started teasing the fact that the series will also be available in that market. That's interesting since it's been years since a T series Xiaomi device was officially launched in India. But at least one of these two will. Xiaomi hasn't confirmed whether both the 17T and the 17T Pro will be offered in the country, and there's plenty of speculation online saying that only the cheaper model will make the cut. Capture moments the way they’re meant to be seen. Closer,...

Itel has launched a new budget phone in India under its A100 series, called the Itel A100 Pro. The handset features a 6.6-inch display, a 5,000mAh battery, and an orange color option that bears a striking resemblance to the iPhone 17 Pro.

Yesterday, RedMagic unveiled the 11S Pro and 11S Pro+ gaming smartphones for the Chinese market, and in light of that you may have been wondering when to expect an international launch. RedMagic is usually quite quick to bring its devices to global markets, and the situation is similar in this case. The brand has just revealed that the global launch will be taking place on May 27 at 8 AM EDT, which is 1 PM in London, 2 PM in Central Europe, 3 PM in Eastern Europe, and 5:30 PM in India.

The Honor Power2 launched back in January with a massive 10,080 mAh battery, but the brand isn't resting on its laurels - far from it, in fact. According to a new rumor from China today, Honor is already working on the Power3, and this one may break the mainstream smartphone battery capacity record. Honor allegedly aims for its battery capacity to be 11,000-12,000 mAh, but the exact number hasn't been decided on just yet. The phone will be powered by the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 8600 SoC.

If you're into headphones, then you're no doubt familiar with Sony's WH-1000X series, which is easily one of the most popular wireless over-ear noise-cancelling headphones around. One could say that alongside the Bose QuietComfort 35, which started the trend, Sony's 1000X series has been the most popular option for years. An achievement remarkably maintained even after many others, including Apple, joined the space. Sony's line of wireless over-ear ANC headphones turns 10 (wow), so the Japanese made something special to mark the occasion - meet the Sony 1000X The ColleXion (reads like...

The Trump Mobile T1 Phone was supposed to launch last year in August, but many future customers who put a $100 pre-sale order were left empty-handed until now. It looks like the T1 Phone is actually happening as the company started distributing units to media, which in turn means that the actual shipments to customers will begin shortly. But there's a catch. If you haven't followed the news around the T1 Phone lately, you will be surprised to see a couple of discrepancies. The most obvious one is the new design, which is a lot different from the initial one. Also, the American flag at...

In October last year, Samsung announced that it was developing AI-powered smart glasses in collaboration with Google and eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker.

While Google and Samsung have yet to reveal detailed hardware specifications, they did highlight several of the key features the glasses will offer. According to Google and...

Lenovo is back into the smartphone-making game with the Legion Y70 (2026). The Chinese brand hasn't released a phone under its own name since the Y90 in 2022. We knew most, if not all, about the Legion Y70 from the various teasers leading up to this announcement. It's a gaming phone with solid specs and a bonkers 8,000mAh battery with 90W charging and bypass charging capabilities. The Legion Y70 packs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (the non-Elite) SoC with 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, running at up to 9,600Mbps. There's 256GB of UFS 4.1-speed storage.

Sony’s WH-1000X series over-ear headphones have become synonymous with noise-canceling, and it all started with the MDR-1000X, which are coincidentally turning 10 years old later this year. To mark the occasion, Sony is releasing a new pair of flagship headphones and if you thought they would come with a normal name, think again. Sony WH-1000X The ColleXion in Black Sony’s WH-1000X The ColleXion (pronounced the collection) slots in as the top-of-the-line entry in the WH-1000X series. While they share key components and features with the WH-1000XM6, the new pair offers several...

It’s almost time for one of Google’s busiest days of the year – its annual I/O developer conference. These events are traditionally pretty dense with both software and hardware announcements, and this year’s keynote is set to be jam-packed. We should be getting details on Android 17 and its rollout schedule, a glimpse into Google’s long-awaited ChromeOS successor - Aluminum OS. It’s safe to assume that Google will announce new versions of its Gemini models, and we’re also expecting to see the first batch of Android XR glasses, too. Here’s everything we expect to see at this year’s I/O...

Motorola's Edge 70 series currently includes four smartphones - Edge 70, Edge 70 Pro, Edge 70 Fusion, and Edge 70 Fusion+. These will soon be joined by the Edge 70 Pro+, which has been teased by Motorola's Indian branch.

The text around the flash is also the same as the global Edge 70 Pro. For those unaware, the global Edge 70 Pro comes with wireless charging support and an additional 50MP...

Today Honor has announced that it's partnering up with Kenyan marathon runner Sebastian Sawe, who currently holds the world record in marathon by going under two hours (1:59:30 to be exact). Sawe will be Honor's newest brand ambassador. Honor refers to him as its "Global Chief Running Partner". Maybe that should be "Global Chief Human Running Partner", though, seeing as how the company's D1 humanoid robot has recently broken the human half-marathon record? Anyway, "limits are made to be broken", Honor says while also subtly teasing exciting things to come. The company is going to be...

Motorola has officially brought the Moto G37 and Moto G37 Power to India. The phones launched in the country are largely similar to the global models, which were announced last month. The Moto G37 and Moto G37 Power are equipped with the Dimensity 6400 chipset in India, whereas the global variants get a less powerful Dimensity 6300 SoC. Other than the difference in the chipset used, the global and Indian models of the handsets share the exact specifications.

Ahead of WWDC 2026, which is now confirmed to kick off on June 8, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman shared several details regarding the upcoming iOS and iPadOS 27 updates, including the standalone Siri app. It is described as a ChatGPT and Claude-style chatbot app serving as a one-stop shop for a broad range of tasks. The app will include past user conversations and is reportedly positioned to be ad-free and offer auto-deleting chats. Gurman also details Apple’s prolonged focus on user privacy, which forced the company to delay its AI assistant as it aims to handle user data on its own servers....

Motorola is expected to unveil the successor to the Edge (2025), which debuted in May last year, in the coming weeks. Ahead of anything official, leaked renders of the Motorola Edge (2026) have surfaced online, offering an early look at the device’s design. The leaked renders show the alleged Motorola Edge (2026) in an olive green finish with a textured rear panel. While the overall design remains familiar, the upcoming model appears to introduce a few notable changes. The most obvious change is the display, which now appears to be flat instead of curved like the panel on the...

RedMagic launched the Astra gaming tablet internationally last June, and now it's almost ready to unveil its successor. We assume this will be called Astra 2 globally, but inside China it will be known as the RedMagic Tablet 5 Pro (the original Astra was the Tablet 3 Pro and they're skipping the number 4 due to tetraphobia). Today during its launch of the 11S Pro series, RedMagic has also started teasing the upcoming tablet, with the image you can see below. The brand has revealed that the tablet will become official in June, so almost exactly one year after its predecessor. The new...

According to a new rumor, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 will be completely redesigned. This would be the first time Apple changed the design of its most expensive smartwatch since the original Apple Watch Ultra launched back in 2022. Unfortunately, no details about what the Watch Ultra 4 would look like have actually been outed, we are just to expect a big change. The device will also come with a "significant upgrade to sensing functions", the same source claims. It's unclear if this means that new sensors will be added, or the Watch Ultra 4 will still have the same types of sensors as the Watch...

Visible, Verizon's "digital-first" wireless service, has just introduced some new offers for graduation season. First off, new graduates can get the Visible unlimited plan, normally $25 per month, for just $20 per month instead for the first year, by simply using the code FRESHSTART at checkout through June 1.

Samsung started seeding the stable One UI 8.5 update based on Android 16 for the Galaxy S24 series just last week, but it was available only to US and South Korean users. Today, the company is making it available for the global market. If you still haven't received a notification, go and check for the software update manually by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install. And if that doesn't work, you might have to wait a day or two before it arrives. The One UI 8.5 software brings a handful of new features and changes, despite what the incremental version change...

Sony is launching its WH-1000X headphones tomorrow, but a detailed leak has basically made the announcement redundant, revealing detailed official-looking product images as well as their key specs ahead of time. Sony WH-1000X The ColleXion The big takeaway is that the WH-1000X are being positioned as a higher-end offering than the WH-1000XM6, but it seems these aren’t their exact replacements. The design from the previously leaked renders is corroborated in the new leak with the WH-1000X featuring a modified yoke (hinge), which features what appears to be a brushed metal...

Earlier this month, Samsung officially confirmed that the Galaxy A27 is coming, and now a case maker has seemingly leaked the device's design. We've already seen the device in CAD-based renders, mind you - about one month ago. Unsurprisingly, the Galaxy A27 shares its design language with the already official Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37. It has a similar oval-shaped camera island, placed in the same position, as is the circular LED flash outside of it. Samsung Galaxy A27 case renders Interestingly, the A27 may have a hole-punch for the selfie camera instead of its predecessor's...

Earlier today, Xiaomi officially announced that it's unveiling the 17T and 17T Pro at an event on May 28. The duo have been prematurely listed by a Russian retailer, however, and this has revealed all of their specs, a ton of official images, as well as prices - though prices rarely translate well from rubles to any other currency, do keep that in mind. The listings have since been taken down but the information is out there now. The Xiaomi 17T has a 6.59-inch AMOLED screen with 1268x2756 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra SoC at the helm, 12GB of RAM, a...

Sony has scheduled a live event for 4PM UTC, dedicated to its upcoming flagship WH-1000X headphones series. The previous generation WH-1000XM6 launched about a year ago, but this is not going to be a direct successor. Rumors so far indicate that the new headphones will actually be more premium, meaning they won't replace the XM6 but will exist alongside them. The reports claim a price tag of $649, which is a tad more expensive than your usual WH-1000X headphones and a new leather design. We will likely see a new name for the upcoming headphones dubbed ColleXion. Of course, aside...

Introduction, unboxing Huawei's Watch Fit series is very popular because it combines a small form factor with a useful rectangular display, colorful bands, a strong suite of health and fitness tracking, and superb battery life for not a lot of money. Many people gravitate towards the series (and others like it) because they cover the majority of functionality of an Apple Watch or a Wear OS watch, but with far superior battery life. And as the series has evolved, it's gotten nicer and more premium, think less fitness band and more premium smartwatch. This move into premium happened...
