The One UI 8 stable update for the Galaxy A06 4G comes with firmware version A065FXXU7CYJ8, while the update for the Galaxy A07 4G comes with firmware version A075FXXU1BYJA.

Samsung Galaxy A07 4G However,...

If you buy a flagship on launch day, you get perks like more memory or freebies, but if you wait, you get discounts instead. And you don’t necessarily need a flagship either, not when premium mid-rangers are this good. Let’s look at both options. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 price has hit a new low – it’s now under €800. This puts it between the vanilla Galaxy S25 and the S25+. The flip foldable offers a new form factor experience, unlike the S-phones, which haven’t changed much in the last few years. The Z Flip7 has a 4.1” cover and a 6.9” inner display plus a 50+12MP dual camera on the...

Ayaneo is branching out from handheld consoles and mini PCs into the very crowded realm of smartphones. And, of course, it's aiming its smartphone adventure at gamers. The company has started teasing its first handset, which it bills as "a mobile phone truly made for gamers". In the quick video teaser below, we can see the outline of its rear, which appears to house two camera sensors that are flush with the back cover, without any protrusions, RedMagic-style. Aside from that, there's not really much to go on here. "Real gamers know gamers", Ayaneo says, and that's surely true but...

The Oppo Find N5 launched back in February, and now Oppo is hard at work on its successor, which we assume will be called Find N6. Today in China some fresh details about the upcoming device have been outed. The Find N6 is said to have an 8.1" folding screen and a 6.6" cover display, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC at the helm, and a battery capacity that should be around 6,000 mAh. Oppo Find N5 On the rear will be a 50MP main camera using Sony's Lytia LYT-808 1/1.4" type sensor, as well as a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The fingerprint sensor is still...

The iPhone 17 Pro launched last month in Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Deep Blue. If you don't like these colors and want something else, all you need to do is wait a year, apparently. Today in China the purported colorways in which the iPhone 18 Pro will be offered in September 2026 have been leaked. They are Coffee, Purple, and Burgundy. They are portrayed in the speculative image below. If this pans out, it means Apple isn't going to switch course. It will still not offer a black or white option. That's a bold strategy for sure, but clearly the company thinks it's the right...

For a while now, Google has been AI-ifying everything it owns, and the latest AI infusion just went straight to the Play Store on Android. This is now showing AI generated review summaries for apps listed in the store, which should save you a lot of time skimming various app reviews to get a feel for how good or bad a specific app is. As with anything Google does, the rollout of this feature is slow, but it has at least finally started - the AI summaries were first spotted more than a year ago in testing. When you get it, you'll see a "Users are saying" section above the reviews...

Yesterday, the Xiaomi 15 global units started receiving the update to HyperOS 3 based on Android 16, following Xiaomi's announcement of the rollout a few days prior. Today it's time for the Poco F7 Ultra to get the same treatment. Specifically, European units are now receiving the update, which identifies as OS3.0.3.0.WOMEUXM. It's based on Android 16 as you'd expect and gives you Xiaomi's latest and greatest skin. The update arrives as a whopping 7.6GB over-the-air download, so make sure you only attempt to grab it while you're connected to a fast enough network. If you have an F7...

Following a successful Q4 where Apple posted $102.5 billion in revenue, CEO Tim Cook spoke to CNBC about the company’s performance and its future goals. Cook revealed that despite the strong demand, Apple was facing supply constraints on several models of the iPhone 17 and last year’s 16 series. Apple’s favorable revenue results are also expected to carry over into the Holiday period, with projected revenue growth for the December quarter up by 10%-12%. Cook also confirmed that Cupertino plans to release its long-awaited and delayed version of its AI-overhauled Siri next year....

According to a new rumor from the prolific Digital Chat Station over on Weibo, OnePlus is working on a smaller-screen device with a flagship chipset. This is likely to be branded OnePlus 15T and OnePlus 15s, depending on market, and will be the successor to the 13T and 13s, which both launched earlier this year. The 15T/15s is expected to arrive in the first half of 2026 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC on board. Its screen will be 6.31" with "1.5K" resolution, most likely LTPS, flat, with symmetrical small bezels on all sides, and an embedded 3D ultrasonic fingerprint...

Apple reported its financial results for the quarter ending on September 27, 2025 and Cupertino welcomed several new records. Total revenue stood at $102.5 billion, which is an 8% increase compared to the same period last year. Profits stood at $27.5 billion, while earnings per share jumped to $1.85, which is up 13% on a yearly basis. Apple, FY25-Q4 Financial Statement Thanks to strong demand for its iPhone 17 series, iPhone revenue reached a new record of $49.02 billion. This amounts to a 6% increase in revenues compared to the iPhone 16 series, but the 17 models and the Air were...

Honor is rumored to launch the GT 2 series in December, reportedly consisting of the GT 2 and GT 2 Pro. While there's no word from the brand about these phones' features yet, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed key specs of the GT 2 duo, giving us an idea of what to expect from the two phones. According to DCS, the Honor GT 2 will be powered by last year's Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, while the Honor GT 2 Pro will have the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip at the helm. Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Honor GT Pro which was launched in April with a 7,200 mAh...

Apple introduced its Self Service Repair program in the US in April 2022, allowing users to order genuine parts and repair their devices. The company has now expanded the program to include the iPhone 17 series. If you’ve got an iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, or iPhone Air that needs a repair, you can now order parts and download repair manuals from Apple. However, it’s recommended to attempt the repair only if you know what you’re doing. While the manuals do provide detailed instructions, replacing components yourself can be challenging.

WhatsApp has started testing a companion app for the Apple Watch, reports WABetaInfo. This app allows Apple Watch users to view messages and media in their WhatsApp chat list, send new messages without waiting for a notification, and send message reactions using emojis. Additionally, users can send audio messages and dictate messages using voice input. However, it's worth noting that the Apple Watch still needs to be connected to an iPhone with WhatsApp installed for users to do everything we mentioned above, because this app is a companion app rather than a standalone...

A new report by Omdia is out today and it crowns Samsung as the winner of the smartphone sales game in the third quarter (July to September). The Korean company shipped 60.6 million devices for a 19% market share, growing 6% over Q3 2024. Apple is second with 56.5 million shipments and 18% of the pie, growing 4% from the year-ago quarter. Xiaomi is in third with 43.4 million shipments, 14% market share, and a 1% growth year-on-year (YoY). Transsion (owner of Infinix, iTel, and Tecno) is in fourth with 28.6 million shipments, 9% market share, and the biggest YoY growth of the top five at...

Earlier this month, the Poco F8 Ultra got certified for sale in Thailand by NBTC, and today the same has happened to the Poco F8 Pro. This is rather interesting because the F7 Pro and F7 Ultra only launched in March, and we're barely seven months removed from that moment. And yet, these certifications came much earlier than they did for the F7 series, which strongly implies that we'll see the F8 Pro and F8 Ultra getting official way sooner than next March. And since they've been certified very close to each other, we're assuming they will launch together just like their predecessors did...

Quick question - which is safer? Android or iOS? A lot of people would instinctively pick the latter, and argue that it's Apple's 'walled garden' approach that makes it so - in fact, Apple itself keeps saying something like that every time the EU is trying to make it open up some other part of its ecosystem. But things are not always what they seem. And at least in one specific way, Android is actually safer than iOS. We're talking about protection from scams. A YouGov study says iOS users are 65% more likely than Android users to report receiving three or more scam texts in a week, while...

Today WhatsApp has announced that it's started supporting passkey-encrypted backups. What this means in practice is that you can use your fingerprint, face, or screen lock code to encrypt your WhatsApp chat backups, instead of having to resort to memorizing a password or a "cumbersome 64-digit encryption key", WhatsApp says. The company goes on to explain that "with just a tap or glance, the same security that protects your personal chats and calls on WhatsApp is applied to your chat backups", so they are always "safe, accessible, and private". The feature is expected to roll out...

Apple unveiled the M5-powered iPad Pro earlier this month, and now the folks over at iFixit have disassembled one in order to take a look at its insides and ascertain how repairable it actually is. It's the 13" model, by the way, which is just 5.1mm thick. That thinness in itself makes repairs harder, since every component needs to be insanely tightly packed, with the screen mounted flush against the internals. And the only way to get in is through the screen, unfortunately. Obviously, taking the screen off without cracking it isn't easy to do, but at least Apple is providing repair...

Tariffs have been a major topic in the tech world this year, with the ongoing US-China trade war, but it seems we’ve reached a turning point. President Trump came to an agreement with Chinese peer Xi Jinping to reduce tariffs on Chinese goods from 57% to 47%. In addition, China is suspending its restrictions on US rare-earth mineral imports for one year. This latest development is a breath of fresh air as the Trump administration’s tariffs on Chinese goods reached 145 % at their peak earlier this year. This is certainly good news for Apple, which was one of the companies that suffered...

Last month, we used a Realme GT8 Pro prototype to run early benchmarks of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The phone was officially unveiled last week and is preparing to launch globally next month, so we are ready to do some proper benchmarking. Even better, in the meantime we have reviewed several competing flagships, so we can have a better look at the key chipsets for the next twelve months. There are those that run on the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 like the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. Others picked the Dimensity 9500, e.g. the vivo X300 Pro. And there’s the Apple A19 Pro inside the iPhone 17...

We’ve seen an influx of E Ink devices from brands like Onyx with its Boox Palma 2 and P6 Pro and now Bigme - an established player in the E Ink device market has announced its HiBreak S smartphone. HiBreak S comes in a monochrome E Ink version (left) or a Kaleido 3 color E Ink panel (right) It comes in two versions, with one sporting a traditional monochrome E Ink display and a second version featuring a Kaleido 3 color E Ink panel.

Google Maps for Android is soon going to get a rather weird new power saving mode. This will work independently of your phone's power saving options. It was discovered through a dive into the code of the latest beta release of Google Maps for Android. It looks like you will activate the power saving mode by pressing your phone's power button. That sounds strange at first, but perhaps the idea here is that this would replace you turning the screen off entirely in order to save power? Anyway, once it's on, the interface becomes monochrome, and extremely minimalistic, as you can see in...

Samsung just published its financial report for the third quarter and used the opportunity to reveal some details about the upcoming Galaxy S26 series and Samsung’s strategy for Galaxy devices overall. The Samsung Galaxy S26 series will “revolutionize the user experience with user-centric, next-gen AI, a second-generation custom AP, and stronger performance, including new camera sensors,” said Daniel Araujo, VP of Samsung’s Mobile Experience Division (MX). AP stands for “Application Processor” and is the industry term for chipset. Why second generation, though? While it wasn’t...

Samsung posted its Q3 2025 earnings today. The company's consolidated revenue was KRW 86.1 trillion (€51.66b) with an operating profit of KRW 12.2 trillion (€7.32b). Revenue growth was 15.4% up on the second quarter. More than half of the total operating profit, KRW 7.0 trillion (€4.2b) came from Samsung's Device Solutions division and specifically its semiconductor, chip, and memory business.

There’s more news about vivo’s upcoming S50 series, which is expected to include the S50 Pro and S50 Pro mini. The phones will succeed the S30 lineup that was announced in May this year. According to a new rumor, the vivo S50 Pro mini variant will not use a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, but will instead be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC. Like its predecessor, the S50 Pro mini will also be a compact flagship. It is rumored to get a 6.31-inch flat display with 1.5K resolution and a battery larger than the vivo X300, which packs a 6,040mAh cell. Recent rumors...

Earlier this month, Lava announced it would launch the Agni 4 in India in November, succeeding last year's Agni 3. The brand still hasn't divulged the Agni 4's launch date, but it has started the promo campaign of the smartphone on X and said the Agni 4 is "coming soon." [#InlinePriceWidget,13396,1#] One of the pictures Lava posted on X shows the Agni 4's right-side frame, which houses volume keys and a power button. You can also see an antenna line, and that's because Agni 4 will have a metal build, which wasn't the case with Agni 3. Forged from metal—because plastic dreams shatter...

Realme will bring over its flagship GT 8 Pro to global markets next month. The brand already announced the device in China alongside the vanilla GT 8, but it seems the Pro will be the only one to go global.

At the beginning of this month, Google unveiled Gemini for Home, alongside a bunch of devices for the home. Today, Gemini for Home has started rolling out in the US, but there's a catch. Gemini for Home is currently in early access mode, and if you want to be among the first people in the US to be able to test it, you need to request access. To do this, go to Google Groups settings > Global Settings, and make sure "Add me to their groups" is checked. Then go to the Google Home app, tap your profile picture or initials, and select Home settings. That's where the "early access" option...

Today YouTube has announced that it will start automatically AI upscaling low quality videos that are under 1080p resolution. This will initially upscale from SD to HD, but eventually will go all the way up to 4K "in the near future". It's intended for use on TVs only, at least for now, and whenever it's employed you'll see a "Super resolution" descriptor underneath each resolution option, as portrayed in the video below. Creators will be able to opt out of this if they want to. YouTube is also expanding the thumbnail file limit from 2MB to 50MB, so expect "new, stunning...

Meet the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite, the brand's first entry-level phone under its own brand. Upon further inspection, the Nothing phone (3a) Lite is a close counterpart to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but that phone is a bit lighter and has a more capable camera system. The rest of the specs are nearly identical though - you get a 6.77-inch 1080p 120Hz AMOLED, a 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging, and a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro...

It's been a wild ride over the past few weeks in Samsung rumor land. The Korean company was initially said to be replacing the Galaxy S26+ with the Galaxy S26 Edge, but then it apparently went the exact other way round, with the S26 Edge cancelled and the S26+ back in action. Now a new rumor claims there's more to the story, and while the originally planned S26 Edge has indeed been scrapped, this is now likely to be replaced with another phone. That's because a device with the codename More Slim is now allegedly in development, which is interesting since the S25 Edge was codenamed...

vivo unveiled the X300 and X300 Pro in China earlier this month, and the two are going to be launching in Europe tomorrow, on October 30.

Those are definitely flagship prices for flagship phones. If this pans out, it...

The rumors were accurate, as it turns out, and the Honor Power 2 does in fact have a 10,000 mAh battery. The device has just been certified for sale in China by 3C, and the listing in question has revealed the battery's rated capacity, which is 9,886 mAh. That will undoubtedly be marketed as 10,000 mAh typical capacity when the phone launches. It will be the first device from a mainstream smartphone brand to reach five-digit battery capacity territory, but apparently Honor won't stop here. According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the brand actually plans on releasing three different...

Motorola recently started teasing the launch of a new smartphone in India, and today the brand revealed that phone is the Moto G67 Power, which will launch on November 5. Motorola also listed the Moto G67 Power on its Indian website with images, specs, and features, so we don't have to wait until next Wednesday to know what the smartphone will offer.

The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is the first entry-level smartphone from the London-based tech brand.

In a move that's as close to an official announcement as it gets, Motorola has listed the Edge 70 on its official Polish and German websites, along with the phone's full specifications. The Motorola Edge 70 is the global variant of the China-locked ultrathin Motorola X70 Air, but it wasn't yet clear whether it will share its exact specs. It seemingly is now.

The Mate 70 Air is expected to become official next month, and ahead of that it was spotted in an online listing last week.
