MacBook Neo sales projected to be strong, interesting news surfaces about the Neo 2

Last week, Apple launched the MacBook Neo, its cheapest MacBook yet, but obviously not a cheap machine per se - just cheaper than the other MacBooks. The Neo is now expected to ship around 4.5 to 5 million units this year, with 2-2.5 million before the end of June. The laptop is currently being exclusively assembled by Quanta, with Foxconn perhaps becoming a second supplier in the near future. Luxshare is actively seeking to become an assembler for the Neo 2, aligning with its intention to become the world's largest laptop assembler, for which it's already rapidly expanded its...

YouTube on TV is getting unskippable ads

YouTube's biggest growth these past few years has come from viewership on TVs, and the Google-owned company is now looking to make some more money from that. One way to do it is the introduction of unskippable 30-second ads on TVs. These are now available for advertisers globally. The company explains to advertisers that its AI "dynamically optimizes between 6-second Bumpers, 15-second standard, and 30-second connected TV-only non-skippable ad formats, ensuring your campaign reaches the right audience at the right time".

Apple iPhone 17e in for review

The Apple iPhone 17e is on sale as of today, and we managed to get ours from the store and in for review! If you'd prefer the video version you can find it here. It starts from $599/โ‚ฌ700/ยฃ600/INR 64,900 and 256GB - last year's 16e had a base storage of 128GB and cost the same at launch (except in India). So double the storage for the same price - nice! The box contents are the same - you get a SIM tool and a USB-C cable, but it's a nice braided one. So what's new on the iPhone 17e? MagSafe, for one. Ask anyone to say what they'd like added to the cheapest iPhone, and they'll...

Honor Magic9 to sport a bigger battery than the OnePlus 15T while being a similar size

According to a new rumor from China, Honor is currently testing the upcoming Magic9 with a 6.36-inch flat OLED screen and a battery capacity around 8,000 mAh. The phone will also have a periscope telephoto camera, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, and support for wireless charging. If this pans out, then the Magic9 will be smaller than its predecessor, and it will also pack the biggest battery of any phone of a similar size to date. It will steal that crown from the soon to be unveiled OnePlus 15T, which is going to sport a 7,500 mAh battery in a similarly sized...

Oppo and OnePlus are raising prices from March 16

Oppo has announced that it will raise prices on some of its cheaper devices in China, as well as on OnePlus devices, starting on March 16 at 12AM local time. The price hikes will affect all OnePlus models sold in China, alongside the Oppo A and K series. For now at least, prices won't be increased for the Reno and Find series smartphones, nor the Oppo tablets. These are the brand's higher-margin devices, so it makes sense that they wouldn't be affected yet. OnePlus 15 While the company hasn't provided an official reason for this price hike, or any indication of how much the prices...

Xiaomi 18 Pro Max details leak

The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max launched last September, and we assume its successor will make its debut around that device's one-year anniversary. Today in China some details about the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Pro Max have been leaked by the prolific Digital Chat Station on Weibo. According to him, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will have a 6.9-inch flat LIPO OLED screen with extremely narrow symmetrical bezels, which will be even narrower than the ones the 17 Pro Max had.

Counterpoint warns of rising retail prices for smartphones in 2026 as memory costs explode

Counterpoint Researchโ€™s Memory Price Tracker shows that mobile RAM costs have risen by 50% quarter-on-quarter, while NAND storage has gone up by over 90% QoQ. โ€œHigher retail prices are unavoidable in 2026 as rising costs will be passed to consumers,โ€ warn analysts. The rising memory costs are having quite an impact on the Bill of Materials (BoM) for smartphones. The different tiers are affected differently and low-end phones (sub-$200) are hit the hardest. When building a typical low-end phone with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage, manufacturers will have to spend a whopping...

Samsung Galaxy A57 mistakenly listed by European retailer

The Galaxy A57's imminent release is getting even more imminent by the day. Case in point - we now have a mistaken listing by a European retailer, which has shown us the device in all its glory. The Galaxy A57 is expected to be unveiled alongside the also oft-leaked Galaxy A37, and that may even happen before the end of this month. Samsung Galaxy A57 official images from European retailer listing The A57 is expected to feature a 6.6-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, the Exynos 1680 SoC at the helm, 6/8/12GB of RAM, 128/256GB of storage, a 50MP main...

Samsung Galaxy S26ย series now available worldwide, Ultra model dominated pre-orders

Today marks the end of pre-orders and the start of global availability for the Galaxy S26 series. The new flagship series is a smash hit with a โ€œdouble-digitโ€ percentage increase in pre-orders. Correction, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is a smash hit, while the other two models are also-rans. Samsung reports that the S26 Ultra accounted for 70% of pre-orders. Presumably, this is for global pre-orders since the number matches the report from Korea, but is below the whopping 80% share for the US. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and S25 Ultra The press release adds some details on the S26 series...

They may both employ built-in magnets to support MagSafe-style wireless charging too. Oppo Find X9 Pro A previous rumor claimed the Find X10 Pro would get a 200MP main camera and a 200MP periscope...

A quarter of all new iPhones are now made in India

According to a new report from Bloomberg News, 25% of all new iPhones are now made in India. An estimated 55 million iPhones were manufactured in India last year, up from 36 million in 2024. Indiaโ€™s rise as a top iPhone manufacturing hub began back in 2017 with the iPhone SE, with the iPhone 6s joining it a year later. Back then, Appleโ€™s primary goal was to evade Indiaโ€™s high import fees on goods manufactured in China, but Cupertino soon fell in the midst of the budding US-China trade war, which forced it to expand its iPhone manufacturing to more regions outside of China. From...

Honor Magic V6 debuts in China with larger batteries

A little over a week after it was unveiled at MWC, Honorโ€™s Magic V6 is now official in China. The foldable gets a bump up in battery capacity for its local debut, and more importantly, we finally have some pricing details as Honor did not reveal those at MWC. The Chinese Magic V6 units feature two battery capacities, depending on the RAM and storage config. Versions with 256 and 512GB storage come with 6,850mAh Si-C cells, while the top-tier 16GB RAM and 1TB storage model gets an even larger 7,150 mAh power pack. All versions support 80W wired and 66W wireless charging. For...

Honor Magic V6's hinge was put to another test as a company manager used it to do pull-ups

In a previous publicity stunt, Honor sent Joe Weller ziplining to test the strength of Honor Magic V6โ€™s hinge. The latest stunt is closer to home โ€“ a manager for Honor used the V6 to do pull-ups. Like before, the personโ€™s weight was hanging from the phoneโ€™s hinge while the sides of the phone were attached to the ceiling (and previously, to the zip line). This is not the weakest orientation for the hinge, but itโ€™s still way above the strain that the hinge will face in daily use. Honor Magic V6โ€™s hinge fully supporting a personโ€™s weight The hinge features special 2800MPa steel,...

Here's when the vivo X300 Ultra is rumored to be launching

vivo has been teasing the X300 Ultra a lot lately, but the company still hasn't announced an exact unveiling date for its upcoming all-out camera flagship. That's where a new rumor from China comes in. According to a tipster over on Weibo, vivo will unveil the X300 Ultra in China at the end of this month. Since the X200 Ultra last year and X100 Ultra in 2024 were both announced on a Monday, the best candidate for the X300 Ultra is also a Monday, namely March 30. Obviously, that's not a given, though. If it is getting official at the end of the month, vivo should probably reveal the...

SK hynix has developed 1c LPDDR6 RAM, which is faster and more efficient than older standards

Samsung Galaxy S26ย series' US pre-orders are up 25%, the Ultra is on top

Samsung US reports that the pre-order volume for the new Galaxy S26 series is up nearly 25% across channels (including its own online store, major carriers and big retailers). The split between the three models is even more skewed than it was in Korea. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra represented a whopping 80% of all pre-orders. For comparison, the report from Korea had the Ultra at 70% of all pre-orders. Samsung says that social media buzz over the unique Privacy Display drove interest towards the S26 Ultra. AI-powered features like Nightography, Generative Edit and Super Steady horizon...

Oppo details Find N6โ€™s impressive crease-free display

Weโ€™re one week away from the Oppo Find N6 launch and the teasers are ramping up. The latest batch comes directly from Oppo and details the foldableโ€™s crease-less display. Oppo claims it achieved the first โ€œzero-feel creaseโ€ thanks to its updated hinge and all-new auto-smoothing Flex Glass. As with any foldable device, the hinge is arguably the most important bit of hardware, and Oppo has a new 2nd-generation Titanium Flexion Hinge, which is made using a liquid 3D printed component. The development process starts with precise laser scanning, which creates a high-fidelity model for...

Leak: test reports for 12,000mAh and 18,000mAh Silicon-Carbon batteries from Samsung

Samsung SDI has been testing 12,000mAh, 18,000mAh and 20,000mAh Silicon-Carbon batteries โ€“ internal test reports have leaked on X and they show that the company still has work to do. There is no info on the 20,000mAh battery, but the reports for the other two note that it failed after 960 charge cycles. That clearly wonโ€™t do. The two smaller batteries aim for 1,500 cycles, but whether they can get there is still under test.

New rumor claims the iPhone Fold will have a different name

Apple's first foldable smartphone has been widely rumored to arrive this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, after many, many years of speculation about it. One bit that we are inevitably still speculating about is the device's name. We've been calling it iPhone Fold, but a new rumor out of China today claims it will actually be called iPhone Ultra. Not just that, but it will be part of a trio of Ultra-branded products that Apple is going to unveil later this year - the iPhone Ultra, the AirPods Ultra, and the MacBook Ultra.

Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold renders leak

Google's Pixel 11 family is still many months away from its unveiling, which will presumably take place in August if history repeats itself, but the rumors and leaks are already starting to pour in. Not long ago we saw a case listing for the Pixel 11 Pro XL, and today the first CAD-based renders of the Pixel 11 Pro Fold have been leaked. You'd be forgiven for mistaking this for a Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The design is incredibly similar, there's no doubt about that. However, there are minor differences, especially in the camera island. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold's LED flash and mic are now...

Samsung might bring a Galaxy S26 camera feature to older flagships

Samsung is considering adding a feature from the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra camera to the Galaxy S25 devices, namely Virtual Aperture for the telephoto camera.

A new set of CAD-based renders of the device shared by Sonny Dickson gives us yet another look at the alleged design.

Samsung wins court case against TCL in Germany over "fake quantum dot" TVs

Germany is the arena for yet another legal battle between tech giants โ€“ Samsung Electronics just won a case against TCL over โ€œfake QLEDโ€ TVs. Quantum dots are used in certain display types for improved efficiency and color accuracy. For example, some Samsung TVs use ultraviolet backlight. Ultraviolet LEDs are very efficient, but UV isnโ€™t even in the visible spectrum. Quantum dots absorb this UV light and output visible light in the desired color. An additional advantage to this approach is that quantum dots are much easier to tune to an exact wavelength of light than a typical...
