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...

Ahead of any official confirmation, new details about the device have surfaced online.

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's Gemini can now easily generate files for you. Supported formats are: Workspace files (Docs, Sheets and Slides), .pdf, .docx, .xlsx, .csv, LaTeX, Plain Text (TXT), Rich Text Format (RTF) and Markdown (MD). This feature is now available globally to all Gemini users. All you need is a prompt and Gemini will generate the file you want. 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...

Alongside the three new 2026 Razrs, the Moto G87, G47, G37, and G37 Power, Motorola has also introduced the Moto Buds 2 Plus TWS earbuds. These will go on sale later today at Motorola.com for $149.99. They are obviously the successors to the original Moto Buds+, launched back in 2024, and they're $50 cheaper than those. Like their predecessors, the Moto Buds 2 Plus feature sound by Bose, which still strikes us as odd - Bose makes its own TWS earbuds, after all, and these are competing in the same space (though not at the same price, granted). Anyway, the new Moto earbuds sport 11mm...

As Dreame is headed towards an IPO, most likely in the US, aiming to raise tons of money, the company has recently 'diversified' its range of products to make itself more interesting to investors. We say 'diversified' quote-unquote because vaguely talking about things doesn't really count as launching them. Case in point: the smartphones. These were first talked about in China in February, then the company upped the ante by talking about gold phones in March. It's already the end of April and no specs have been revealed for any of them, but you'll be happy to hear that Dreame has once...

The latter date is when both devices will be launched in Malaysia, and they will immediately be available for open sale. The international Z11 has some design changes to the Chinese variant, and it actually resembles the vivo T5 Pro in terms of looks. If this turns out...

Samsung Electronics just posted its financial report for the first quarter of this year. The head of the mobile division (MX), TM Roh, is worried that said division might experience its first-ever annual loss. We’ll see what the rest of the year holds, but for Q1 at least Galaxy phones remained in the black. Samsung MX and the Network Businesses division brought in KRW 38.1 trillion in consolidated revenue and made KRW 2.8 trillion in operating profit during the first quarter. Sales are higher than the year-ago quarter – the numbers for Q1 2025 were KRW 37 trillion in revenue and KRW...

YouTube's picture-in-picture feature has been around for some time now, but until recently, it wasn't available to non-Premium users outside the US. You'd have to be either a Premium subscriber or be based in the US. Starting this week, YouTube is opening up the feature to non-Premium users globally, but with a small caveat. Non-paying Android and iOS users will be able to play long-form, non-music content in PiP mode. Users in the US are not affected by this change, though. In this regard, YouTube is putting Premium Lite members and non-Premium users on the same level, restricting...

The upcoming Tecno Pova 8 5G is now quite close to its official unveiling, we'd wager, since it's already been listed in the Google Play Console. The listing brings with it the image of the phone that you can see below. It also reveals that the Pova 8 5G has a screen with 1080x2344 resolution, 6GB of RAM, and the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset at the helm. The device was recently spotted in the Geekbench online database with the same chipset and RAM amount. It will run Android 16 from day one.

There has been a fair bit of controversy surrounding the ranks of OnePlus and Realme over the last few months, and the latest report from China suggests the two brands have merged.

The European Union’s common charger directive came into effect back in December of 2024 and required most new portable electronic devices to ship with a unified USB-C connector. Back then, the EU Commission extended the transition for laptop manufacturers by an extra 16 months, and the grace period officially expired yesterday, April 28. This means that all new laptops sold in the European Union are now required by law to feature at least one USB-C port for charging.

Honor is preparing to announce its Watch 6 Plus smartwatch in the coming days or weeks, and to hype people up, the company shared a teaser poster, revealing the design and sharing a few key new features. Honor Watch 6 Plus teaser poster First off, the design doesn't seem to be all that different compared to the Honor Watch 5 Ultra, but it does bring an improved battery life thanks to a larger battery.

The upcoming Redmi K100 Pro Max is now rumored to be using the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC as its predecessor from 2025. However, there's some very bad news about the pricing - apparently the K100 Pro Max will start at CNY 4,000, which is around $585. That doesn't sound like much if you're outside of China, but consider the fact that the K90 Pro Max launched last year, with the same chipset, for CNY 3,199 ($467). So this is a huge price increase without an SoC upgrade - of course, if this rumor pans out. Keep in mind that a previous rumor said the K100 Pro Max would start at CNY...

The service launched back in 2006 as a humble experiment, and today supports "about 250 languages", and more than 60,000 potential language pairs, supporting 95% of the world's population.

The Xiaomi 17, 17 Ultra and the 15T Pro can receive the update, with broader device support coming in the future. The Android Developer Program allows early access to the upcoming version of the OS, and as the name implies, developers are able to test their apps in the new software environment.

Apple is unveiling iOS 27 on June 8 during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, and this version of the OS is already expected to be the one in which the oft-delayed smarter Siri launches, powered by Google's Gemini models.

Mere hours ago the upcoming Motorola Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra leaked in some official-looking shots, ahead of their expected unveiling tomorrow, and now we have a surprise third member of the family getting the same treatment: the Motorola Razr 70 Plus. Yes, the Razr 70 Plus, not the Razr+ 2026. This means that, unlike what it did last year, Motorola won't be keeping the Plus model exclusive to North America as the Razr+ 2026. Instead, it will launch it across the world as the Razr 70 Plus. Last year, the Razr+ 2025 wasn't available outside of North America as the Razr 60 Plus, so this is...

Huawei unveiled the Pura X Max earlier this month as its entrant into the large wide foldable smartphone space, one that's expected to become pretty crowded later this year with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold Wide and, of course, the iPhone Ultra (aka iPhone Fold) - which has definitely influenced both the Huawei and the Samsung devices even though it's not even official yet. Today we get to take a look at an iPhone Ultra dummy unit compared side-by-side with the Huawei Pura X Max in the short video below. As you can see, the form factor is pretty similar, even though the two...

The Commission has proposed changes to resolve the situation and has invited people to a public consultation. The discussion focuses on three key issues, quote: the ability of users to invoke AI-powered services via wake words the possibility...

The listing shows a live image of the Xiaomi 17T’s back alongside its 67W charger.

The ability to back up your WhatsApp chats to the cloud has been around for about a decade now. Android users can back up their chats on Google Drive, while iPhone users can back up their chats on iCloud. But WhatsApp could offer you the option to back up your chats to its own cloud storage in the future. According to a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is developing a feature that will let users back up their WhatsApp chats on its own cloud storage, which will be encrypted.

A couple of times so far Apple was rumored to call its first foldable smartphone the iPhone Ultra, and now a new rumor 'confirms' this (as much as any one rumor can, of course). But this won't be the company's only upcoming Ultra-branded device. The foldable will just be called iPhone Ultra, by the way, and not iPhone 18 Ultra, similarly to how the iPhone Air isn't the iPhone 17 Air. This gives Apple more flexibility - it can come out with new iPhone Ultra generations on a completely different schedule than the mainstream smartphone line. Speaking of schedules, Apple is said to be...

Xiaomi's Redmi Pad 2 9.7 first surfaced in March, and now it's become official, as it was listed by the company on its websites for Malaysia and Singapore.

According to a new rumor from Korea, Samsung is now considering changing the position of the cameras in the upcoming Galaxy S27 family. It's unclear how the design of the camera island will change, but if this pans out it will be a pretty significant redesign - Samsung smartphones have for years been associated with the current camera island placement, which you can see below. Apparently the company's reason to do this isn't just cosmetic - the camera reshuffle might be required in order for Samsung to finally fit magnets to the rear of its flagship slab-style smartphones. The magnets...

Huawei is set to host a product launch event on May 7 in Bangkok, Thailand. The company released a teaser video that highlights a trio of devices set to be unveiled at the keynote.

Samsung has been working on the Galaxy Glasses for a while now, with the company revealing some details about the product in March. Today, a new leak brings us our best look yet at the glasses, portrayed from three angles in the images you can see below.

A few days ago a rumor claimed that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 would have a smaller hole punch for the selfie camera on its cover display, and the difference was quite noticeable. Today, the same source claims to have confirmed the fact that the Galaxy Z Fold Wide (or whatever it ends up being called) will have a similarly small hole-punch for its cover display's selfie camera too. Both of these will apparently be the smallest hole punches Samsung's ever had on its foldables. The Galaxy Z Fold Wide is rumored to be unveiled right alongside the Fold8, most likely in July, at...

In just two generations, vivo has nearly doubled the battery capacity of its Y-series Pro smartphones. The Y400 Pro, which launched last June, arrived with a 5,500mAh battery, which is pretty average for midrangers these days. The Y500 Pro followed in November with a significant bump up to 7,000mAh, but the freshly announced Y600 Pro makes them both feel tiny thanks to its 10,200mAh Si-C battery. That’s a full 38Wh battery inside a smartphone, and it features fourth-generation silicon anode technology with 15% silicon content and an energy density of 886Wh/L. Judging by the...

Last week, Poco unveiled the C81 and C81x in India, featuring the Unisoc T7250 chipset.

MediaTek introduced direct successors to last year's Dimensity 7400 and 7400X chipsets. These do not offer a generational upgrade but a refresh. Even their names imply this strongly - Dimensity 7450 and Dimensity 7450X. There's no CPU upgrade as both chipsets employ the same octa-core setup that consists of 4x Cortex-A78 cores ticking at 2.6 GHz and 4x Cortex-A55 cores running at 2.0 GHz. The GPU is also still Mali-G615 MC2. MediaTek highlights an improvement in AI power. It's up by 7%, and the company says it's particularly noticeable in photography-related AI...

A week ago, vivo unveiled the Y6t – a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 powered phone with a 6.74” 720p+ display, a 6,500mAh battery and a low price tag of CNY 1,400 ($205) for a base 6/128GB unit.

A third foldable with a wider aspect ratio, possibly called the Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide or simply Z Fold Wide, is also rumored to launch alongside them. Alleged dummy units of the devices have now surfaced online. Well-known leaker Sonny Dickson has shared images of dummy units of the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Flip8, and the Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide on X. The images highlight the design differences between Samsung’s upcoming foldables and also show the devices in both folded and unfolded states. The...

Hey guys! We've already done an unboxing of the vivo X300 Ultra, but that was the Chinese model. Today, we've also got the global variant of the phone, so let's unbox it as well. The retail package is the same - you've got a color-matching case (black, in this case), a 100W charger, and a USB-C cable. Unboxing the phone Our Global unit is the black one; it's understandably identical to the Chinese model, which is the Silver one. They even have the same 6,600mAh battery, so no milliamp deduction for European users in this case, it seems. The rest of the specs are...

The Samsung Galaxy A57's streak as the most popular phone in our database finally ended this week. Honor's new 600 Pro took advantage of its global launch to shoot to the top after just missing out last time around. The bronze medal went to one of the strongest contenders for cameraphone of the year - the Oppo Find X9 Ultra. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14379, 1#] Another Ultra is in fourth - the Galaxy S26 flagship having to settle for the first spot below the podium this time, followed by the Motorola Edge 70 Pro in fifth.

Samsung has announced a new feature for Samsung Wallet today. It's called Trips and it "consolidates travel plans", "offering a single access point for all travel details - eliminating the need to juggle multiple apps and confirmations", according to the Korean company. The new section comes with a Trip timeline, which brings all travel-related plans together in a single view, "adding structure to busy itineraries and providing a smoother journey from start to finish". When you add eligible items to Samsung Wallet, Trips will group them together based on time and location. Trips...

Let’s start with YouTube TV first – the company’s live broadcast TV offering exclusive to the US. Users might know that the platform already has a Multiview feature that allows viewing two, three or even four channels all at once. Why? Well, besides brain-rot optimization, there are actually some practical use cases, like during a busy sports season when you want to keep an eye on multiple matches at once. Google knew that was the typical case and originally rolled out Multiview through “suggested” Multiview setups that the platform curated automatically for the user. Those are still...

We still don't know much about how the situation was handled or whether or not it was even amicably resolved, but Reuters reports that on April 23 and April 24, during the night shift from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., many workers in the Samsung factory complex in Pyeongtaek, south of Seoul, skipped work in order to protest. For reference, like pretty much every foundry out there, this facility works 24/7 on three shifts. Details, as we said, are scarce, but according to the workers' union, the attending workers demanded higher wages. While we don't know whether those demands were met or...

Huawei unveiled its new-look Pura series this week. The Pura X Max foldable caught the most eyeballs with its shorter and wider design, which many think matches the much-anticipated iPhone Fold. The Huawei Pura X Max features a 5.4” cover and 7.7” internal display. The relatively square inner display supports the M-Pen 3 Mini stylus. It fits in a special case for the phone. The Pura X Max packs a 5,300mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging, and runs a Kirin 9030 Pro SoC. The Pura 90 Pro Max and 90 Pro also caught readers' attention. They were joined by the Pura 90. All three...

If you live in Europe and haven't received the security...

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series started off with strong pre-orders in late March and held its prices for a while, but now the flagship trio has settled at a new normal. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is by far the most popular model of the three, in part due to having the unique Privacy Display, but also because of the inherent advantage of the Ultra model. Earlier this week, we published an S26 Ultra vs. S26+ comparison article. We have also compared the new Ultra with the S25 Ultra and pitted it against the iPhone 17 Pro Max. ...

The Honor 600 and 600 Pro were unveiled for the global market this week and they will launch in Malaysia and Europe first.

The deal also includes a free screen replacement for the first 12 months. Also, the Pro model is paired with a free...

Poco knows its audience – that’s what we get from last week’s poll. For this year’s X series, the company added a new class, the Pro Max, and it completely overshadowed the regular Pro. Poco X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max at a glance The Poco X8 Pro Max is going to be a hit – the budding flagship killer got an overwhelmingly positive response in our poll. It got knocked for its camera – people still remember the 108MP shooter on the X5 Pro – and for still featuring a USB 2.0 port. But this applies to the Pro as well. Meanwhile, the Pro Max has a great chipset, huge battery and a huge...

Today, we are taking a look at the new OnePlus Pad 4, the company’s latest premium Android tablet, which is expected to officially launch on April 30. We were able to get the device early and give you a first look with a quick unboxing. The OnePlus Pad 4 packaging is very simple and comes in the familiar red and white colorway. Inside, the tablet itself takes up very little of the vertical space, thanks to its slim 5.94mm profile. Most of the height is taken up by the 80W fast charger, along with the matching cable. There’s not much else in the box. The OnePlus Pad 4 is...

There is no doubt that Fitbit still has enormous brand recognition. Whether or not the company’s current offerings are your best option is certainly debatable, but the make carries a lot of weight. Well, who better to potentially start killing it off than Google? The company certainly has a dark track record of mishandling brands and products. The situation might not be too bad at the moment, though. We are certainly only piecing clues together, and there is no formal announcement yet. Still, people noticed that on the software side of things, in some markets (mostly European), on the...

Google seems to be working hard on expanding its editing options in Google Photos. We recently saw the online titan add a quick facial touch-up feature. Now another similar feature has gone live. It is a very simple and straightforward “AI Enhance” button that sits beside the Enhance and Dynamic buttons that were already present in the Auto tab in the image editor. We tried it for ourselves, and while it can restore highlights and shadows quite effectively and deal with common issues caused by bad lighting and boost colors slightly, it is nothing truly spectacular in any way....

Introduction and unboxing Samsung owns Harman, which is the parent company of several high-profile audio brands, many of which make headphones. Yet you will find very few Samsung-branded headphones outside of the Galaxy Buds series. The company hasn’t even released over-ear headphones in years – in short, Samsung is betting that the Galaxy TWS buds are the only headphones that most people need. We have the new Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro in our ears right now – they are the best of the three-tier structure that Samsung settled on (FE, vanilla and Pro). We think these are a notable...

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series has been on discount since it went on sale in early March. And it looks like there’s no stopping the price cuts.

Samsung introduced a feature with the Galaxy S26 series, which is coming to some older Galaxy smartphones eligible for One UI 8.5.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Additionally, Samsung also made it easier to access Document Scan by allowing users to add its shortcut to their phone's homescreen. Just open the...

We rarely come across two phones that are so similar. The newly launched Google Pixel 10a is unapologetically more or less the same phone as its predecessor, the Pixel 9a. This leaves those looking for an affordable Pixel this year in a quandary. Should you go for the newer model, or should you just save some money and get last year's. And what even are some of these minor differences that separate the two? Well, let's find out.

There were rumors that the launch of the Apple iPhone Fold, also referred to as iPhone Ultra, was delayed. But we later heard that the iPhone Ultra's launch was on track, and it would be unveiled at Apple's autumn 2026 product launch event alongside the iPhone 18 series. That launch timeframe has now been corroborated by reliable tipster Ice Universe, who posted an unofficial photo of an iPhone Ultra and Apple's new CEO John Ternus on X, with the caption "2026 iPhone autumn new product launch." While Ice Universe hasn't mentioned the launch date, it's safe to assume the launch event will...

The Samsung Galaxy A57 and A37 only just hit store shelves and the A57 is already sporting a massive price cut – the 8/256GB variant is 27% off.

According to a new rumor from the prolific Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Redmi is currently working on not one, not two, but three different smartphones which will all have a 10,000 mAh battery. The battery used in these handsets will be single-cell (so no chance of seeing it in the EU unfortunately), and will support 100W wired charging. The devices that will use it will be both in the mainstream Note line, as well as in the performance-oriented K series. The Redmi Notes in China have, in recent years, either been quite different from their similarly-named international...

The first ever iPhone was unveiled in January 2007, and went on sale in June that year. Thus, in 2027, Apple is celebrating the iPhone's 20th anniversary. The company has long been rumored to be planning something special for this occasion, and today, a new leak from Digital Chat Station on Weibo purports to bring us more information. According to the prolific leaker, Apple is working with Samsung on developing the 20th anniversary iPhone's screen. The panel will not have a polarizer, and will come with a quad-curved design, with the curvature radius customized by Apple. So after...

Samsung is rumored to be introducing its first foldable smartphone with a wider aspect ratio this year in response to the iPhone Fold coming in September. Huawei has already unveiled its entrant in this arena, the Pura X Max. If you've ever wondered how the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Wide (or whatever it will end up being called) compares to the Pura X Max in terms of size and dimensions, here's an image that has the answer, courtesy of a new leak by the prolific Ice Universe on X. The Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold is rumored to measure 123.9 x 164.4 x 4.3 mm when unfolded, and 123.9 x 82.2 x...

We’ve got a new batch of renders for the upcoming Xperia 1 VIII, and they are our best look at the device yet. According to MyMobiles, we’re looking at the finalized design, and the source assures us they are based on the same CAD data used by Sony suppliers. They depict a familiar design upfront with a tall and narrow-looking display with the front-facing camera integrated inside the top bezel next to the earpiece. Earlier renders suggested we might see a punch-hole cutout approach, but it seems that’s not going to be the case. The new renders suggest the bezel width will be unchanged...

The iPhone 18 was recently rumored to come with some downgrades to keep costs low, including a display material first used in the iPhone 14 Pro in 2022. However, it's not all bad news for the iPhone 18, apparently. According to a new report, the device will come fitted with 12GB of RAM. That's up from 8GB on its predecessor, so it's quite a jump, especially seeing as how we're currently in the middle of a RAM pricing crisis thanks to AI data centers using up all of the production capacity. The iPhone 18 is said to be powered by Apple's upcoming A20 chipset, made on a 2nm process by...

This is the OPPO Find X9 Ultra Hasselblad Earth Explorer Kit, a fancy name for the Find X9 Ultra's photography kit. But a fancy name is fitting for such a fancy product. While vivo's X300 Ultra photography kit attaches either a 200mm or a 400mm teleconverter lens to the phone, the Oppo Hasselblad kit has a single option that sits in between - a 300mm lens. But it's a longer lens that gets longer still if you use the provided lens hood. Here's what's in the box. You get a case for the phone with a very compact built-in grip; the lens with a body cap, a lens cap, and a lens hood; a...

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Book6 series of laptops at CES in January – those were powered by Intel’s new 18A Core Ultra Series 3 processors. There is an Edge model coming too – “Edge” is what Samsung calls its ARM-powered laptops. We know this because German retailer Cyberport jumped the gun and published the Samsung Galaxy Book6 Edge page on its online store. This appears to be the base 16” model with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The whole kit costs a hefty €2,200. The laptop is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite, specifically the X2E-88-100 variant. It is an 18-core CPU (of which 12...

Chinese AI company DeepSeek caused quite a stir last year as it climbed to the top of the App Store charts and beat out incumbents like ChatGPT.

The upcoming Realme C100X first surfaced earlier this month, when it was said to be on its way to India as well as the EU. While the phone still isn't official, it has now been listed on both Amazon Italy and Amazon France. It will be available in Dark Blue and White Platinum, and the image you can see below is from the Amazon Italy listing and seems to actually portray the unannounced device. According to these listings, in the EU Realme will offer the C100X with 4GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The phone allegedly has a 6.8-inch LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 50MP rear...

According to Counterpoint's "Make in India" tracker, smartphone manufacturing in India recorded an 8% growth year-over-year in 2025. The growth was fueled by a 28% year-over-year surge in exports and a modest 1% increase in domestic shipments. Exports accounted for one-third of all smartphones manufactured in India. Foxconn Hon Hai, Apple's main contractor, had a particularly strong showing with an impressive 48% YoY growth. Tata Electronics, being another key assembler for Apple, also contributed to the exports. Samsung's exports, on the other hand, grew only 4% compared to...

While the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 is rumored to be slightly thicker than its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold7, a new rumor claims that the Fold8's punch hole in the display for the selfie camera will be smaller. The word comes from reliable tipster Ice Universe, who said that while the Fold7's front camera cutout measures 3.7mm in diameter, the Fold8's cutout measures only 2.5mm. The tipster further said that "Samsung appears to have adopted a new technology that significantly reduces the size of the front camera hole."

Xiaomi’s last foldable, the Mix Fold 4, was unveiled nearly two years ago in July 2024. Now, a new report suggests the company may finally be preparing to announce its successor. According to the report, a next-generation Xiaomi foldable has been spotted in the Mi Code database. The device bears the model number 2608BPX34C and is codenamed ‘lhasa’.

Honor unveiled the Honor 600 Lite last month, and recently, the Chinese brand introduced the Honor 600 and Honor 600 Pro. But it seems Honor isn't done launching 600 Series smartphones yet, as an unknown Honor device, bearing model code LNA-NX3 and said to be the Honor 600e, has surfaced on Geekbench with its key specs. The Honor LNA-NX3 scored 993 and 3,054 points in Geekbench's single and multi-core tests, respectively. It runs Android 16 and is powered by MediaTek's MT6858 octa-core processor, which is likely the Dimensity 7100 SoC. We say so because the Geekbench listing...

Nearly a year after launching its gamer-centric GT 30 Pro, Infinix is back with a successor. The brand new GT 50 Pro brings a refined design, improved cooling and larger battery capacity. Staying true to its gaming phone heritage, GT 50 Pro is equipped with a dynamic RGB light array on its back.

iQOO could soon launch a new smartphone in China powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. While the official name remains unclear, a new leak suggests it could be a new Neo 11 series phone. The leak also reveals several key specifications of the upcoming device. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the handset is expected to feature a 6.83-inch flat AMOLED display with a 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. iQOO Neo11 While the tipster hasn’t confirmed the device’s name, several comments on the post suggest it could be part of the new Neo 11 series.

Meta-owned WhatsApp keeps testing new features for its Android and iOS users, with the latest feature in the works being notification bubbles, which Google has supported on Android since Android 10. This revelation comes from the folks at WABetaInfo, who found that WhatsApp is testing the notification bubbles feature in its Android app. If you've used Meta-owned Facebook Messenger on Android, then you already know how notification bubbles work. When you receive a message from an individual or in a group chat, you'll see a floating bubble on the screen, regardless of whether you are on...

Nothing launched the Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro last month running the latest Nothing OS 4.1 on top of Android 16. Now the company is starting to roll out Nothing OS 4.1 to the Nothing Phone (3), which has been running Nothing OS 4.0, also based on Android 16. While this doesn't bring an Android version bump, it does include the Essential Voice functionality that was announced earlier today. There's also a new lock screen clock, and Live Updates now work across the device including the lock screen, notification panel, and Glyph interface. The Essential Notifications UI is cleaner...

Dummy units have leaked today showing the shapes of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Ultra (which is the name the iPhone Fold is rumored to actually get). The dummy units are created based on CAD renders sent to case makers, so they are usually accurate with the most important details - things like the overall shape and dimensions, as well as the shape and size of the camera islands. In the family shot above you can see that the iPhone Ultra is missing MagSafe support, which is an interesting omission for sure. We obviously can't tell if it has wireless...

It's been kind of hectic here at GSMArena HQ in the last few weeks - we're getting phones left and right and are working pretty much nonstop to bring you guys content! But we're slowly getting through the pile, and today, we've got the recently globalized vivo X300 FE in the house! Unveiled and rolled internationally alongside the vivo X300 Ultra, the vivo X300 FE is coming in two configurations - 12/256GB and 12/512GB. We're not sure of the price just yet. The phone ships with a color-matching case, a 90W charger, and a USB-A to USB-C cable. The X300 FE is the compact flagship...

vivo's upcoming flagship series will probably be called X500, to avoid the number 4 due to tetraphobia. These will of course be the successors to the X300 line. Today in China, prolific leaker Digital Chat Station has seemingly revealed what we can expect from the X500 family in terms of screens. While he doesn't mention the exact model names, he does say there will be one device with a 6.37-inch flat LTPO OLED display with 1.5K resolution, and another device employing a 6.83-inch flat LTPO OLED panel with 2K resolution. There's also a third option that's allegedly still pending (so...

Today Nothing has unveiled Essential Voice, a speech-to-text engine that promises to deliver "clear, ready-to-send text in real time". Thus, it improves upon the traditional dictation that, while turning speech into text, includes all the ums, uhs, and ahs, all of your stutters, and sometimes zero punctuation (or, perhaps even worse, wrong punctuation). Essential Voice promises to give you "the speed and ease of talking with the clarity and flexibility of text". It cuts filler words "for a more streamlined and considered output". It auto-detects more than 100 languages, and lets you choose...

Samsung’s MX division (which builds its smartphones) may be facing its first-ever annual loss – meanwhile, the folks over at Device Solutions (where the memory business is housed) posted guidance for a record-breaking Q1. You have already figured out that there is a single cause for these two events. To spell it out, the soaring prices of DRAM and NAND memory are eating into the margins. According to the analysts at Counterpoint, the bill of materials (BoM) for a flagship phone ($800+) is predicted to rise by $100-$150. Memory makes up the most with 23% of the total going towards RAM and...

Back in January, Apple confirmed that Google's Gemini AI models would be powering the next evolution of Apple Intelligence, which is expected to be unveiled this June at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference. This should include a completely revamped Siri, and will hopefully ship in iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 in the fall. Now, Google has also confirmed that this is happening, on stage during the Cloud Next 2026 conference that's currently taking place in Las Vegas. Google Cloud chief Thomas Kurian said: Earlier this year, we announced a monumental partnership with one of the most...

After launching the Y6t a few days ago, now vivo has also made the Y6 5G official. It is powered by the same Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC as the Y6t. The Y6 5G comes in silver, gold, and black. It measures 166.64 x 78.43 x 8.39 mm and weighs 219g.

While the Honor 600 series has been making headlines over the past few days, the brand has also expanded its tablet lineup with the brand new MagicPad3 Pro 12.3”, which was announced in China earlier today. As the name implies, this is a slightly smaller version of the MagicPad3 Pro 13.3, which was announced last year, and it comes with several spec differences. Instead of the LCD panel found on the MagicPad3 Pro 13.3”, you get a 12.3” OLED with 3,000x1,920px resolution, an adaptive 60-165Hz refresh rate and a 15.6:10 aspect ratio. The display is rated at 3,000 nits peak local...

Google rolled out the fourth beta of Android 17 last week and has now followed it up with the first Android 17 QPR1 beta. The new update is available for Pixel 6 and newer devices. Ahead of Android 17’s stable release, expected in September, users can try upcoming refinements through the Android 17 QPR1 Beta 1. Google notes that this beta build is stable enough for general use. The update is available for devices ranging from the Pixel 6 to the latest Pixel 10a. Interested users can enroll in the Android Beta Program and install the QPR1 update. While the release doesn’t introduce...

The Honor 600 series was unveiled yesterday and made its way to Europe today with one major change. While units sold across Asia are equipped with a 7,000mAh Si-C battery, the European versions come with 6,400mAh cells. And while the difference in battery capacities surely favors the international Honor 600 variant, Honor decided to undertake a rather unusual battery test against its key competitors. Instead of comparing running times across regular use-case scenarios, Honor’s engineers took out the Honor 600’s 7,000mAh Si-C battery and fitted it to power a miniature RC car. They...

As promised, Poco has expanded its portfolio of C Series smartphones with the launch of the Poco C81 and Poco C81x. Poco C81 Let's talk about the Poco C81 first. It's a 4G smartphone powered by the Unisoc T7250 SoC, paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM. The smartphone has 64GB of onboard storage, expandable up to 2TB via a microSD card. On the software side, you get Android 16-based HyperOS 3, with Poco promising four major Android upgrades and six years of security updates. The Poco C81 is built around a 6.9" 120Hz HD+ LCD with 800 nits HBM brightness. The display also has a notch for the...

Motorola is set to introduce its Razr 70 series next week with no less than two models. We’ve seen a generous number of leaks so far, and we now have official-looking press renders of the Razr 70 Ultra shared by Evan Blass. Razr 70 Ultra in Orient Blue Alcantara and Pantone Cocoa Wood By the looks of it, Motorola is not changing all that much in terms of design. Razr 70 Ultra features a nearly-identical look to last year’s Razr 60 Ultra with dual cameras on the cover screen and a largely unobtrusive main display with a punch-hole cutout for the selfie cam. We do get a...

Yesterday, the Honor 600 and Honor 600 Pro got their global launch, and today they've been announced for European markets as well. The phones come with a 6,400 mAh battery in Europe (down from 7,000 mAh internationally), but the rest of the specs have remained the same, thankfully. Both the Honor 600 and the Honor 600 Pro purchased in Europe will receive six years of Android updates. The Honor 600 is priced at €549.99 with 128GB of storage, €649.99 with 256GB of storage, and €699.99 with 512GB. However, if you're an early bird you can get both the 256GB and the 512GB versions for just...

We are still months away from the OnePlus 16's unveiling, but we've already come across a few leaks and rumors about the phone, with reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claiming it will be powered by Qualcomm's yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro SoC. In a Weibo post, the tipster has reiterated that the OnePlus 16 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro (SM8975) and revealed a few details about the flagship's display. OnePlus 15 According to DCS, the OnePlus 16 will pack a custom 6.78" 1.5K resolution LTPO BOE display, surrounded by narrow bezels on all...

Yesterday a rumor claimed the vanilla iPhone 18 would have some downgrades, and now a report seemingly clarifies one of the areas where Apple will save some money: the screen. The leading candidate for the handset's display allegedly uses Samsung's M12+ material, which is a very slight enhancement of the M12 that was used in the iPhone 14 Pro and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. On the other hand, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will both use the M16 material, the successor to the M14 which made its debut in the iPhone 16 Pro and which was then used in the entire iPhone 17 family. So, if this...

Oppo unveiled the Find X9 Ultra yesterday, and today there's already a full teardown of the device available, courtesy of the YouTube channel WekiHome. As always, they have recorded an incredibly in-depth disassembly, where the phone isn't just quickly taken apart - every component is described in depth. So if that sounds like just your cup of tea, check out the video embedded below. Note that it is in Chinese, but the auto-translated YouTube closed captions do seem to work extremely well for it. The Find X9 Ultra is, of course, Oppo's all-out flagship for 2026, competing head-on...

Apple has twice so far been rumored to explore a 200MP camera for upcoming iPhones. The first time it was supposedly going to be the main camera, and then, a few days ago, we heard about a 200MP telephoto camera that would only arrive in 2028. Today a new leak from Digital Chat Station on Weibo clears up some of the confusion. According to him, Apple will launch a big camera update every year starting with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max this September. Those two are getting the much-rumored variable aperture. Then, in 2027, the Pro models are allegedly going to come with a...

The OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra will be unveiled on April 28 (that’s Tuesday next week). Last week, the company posted details on the Ace Awakening design, which features the word “Ace” etched on the back of the device in a way that creates a 3D effect. Now OnePlus has revealed another look for the Ace 6 Ultra called “Metal Storm”. It’s a combination of a metal frame with a matte finish and a glass back panel with a “silk” texture. This texture is created by etching a nanoscale pattern that is soft to the touch but glitters in the light. The company says that it will shoo away...

Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to have a new 'hero' color - the one that gets marketed the most, like Cosmic Orange was for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. A few days ago we heard that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max would come in Light Blue, Dark Cherry, Dark Gray, and Silver, and these colors were then shown on leaked camera islands for the iPhone 18 Pro. Today a leaker from China has shared more information about that Dark Cherry hue, which will be the hero color. Apparently it's not clear exactly what Apple will call this (so...

Back in October, Google said it would give Google Wallet on Android the ability to track live flight updates on your home screen through a persistent notification, and this is now finally live. These live updates show up if you've previously added a boarding pass to Google Wallet. Doing that already gave you notifications with updates like boarding time and gate changes, and Wallet also uses its Gmail integration to remind you to check in if you haven't added a boarding pass for a flight booking that you have in your emails. Google Wallet flight tracking Now, if you're on...

During an event in Malaysia, Honor launched a slew of earphones globally. Most models aren't new. Some were announced in late 2025, but now, they are made available globally. The launch was garnished with prices for the local Malaysian market, too. The most recent pair, the Honor Earbuds 4, is priced at MYR 399 ($100) and is seemingly a great all-arounder with 48 hours of battery life, more than decent ANC rated at 50dB and dual titanium-coated drivers. You can check out our unboxing and hands-on article while you wait for the full review. The Honor Choice Earbuds Clip 2 Pro...

Now that we've unboxed the Honor 600 Pro, it's time to do the same with the Honor 600. Just like the Pro, the Honor 600 ships with a USB cable and nothing more. You'd need to supply your own case and charger. So, how does the Honor 600 differ from its sibling? Well, from the outside, it doesn't really. The only telltale sign is the missing third camera lens on the back for the zoom camera - the Honor 600 only has a wide-angle and an ultrawide. On the upside, the 200MP main camera and the 12MP ultrawide are the same as those on the Pro. In the hand, the Honor 600 feels just as...

Oppo launched the Watch X3 in China last month, and now it's unveiled the Watch X3 Mini to go along with it. As the name implies, this is smaller, and it probably won't surprise you to see that its design seems to be more blingy since that's usually what smartwatch makers assume will appeal more to women. We're not sure if that's true or not, but given the smaller size, that alone might make this a much better option for women than the 47mm Watch X3. The Watch X3 Mini has a 1.32-inch AMOLED screen with 466x466 resolution, 1,000-nit peak brightness, and a sapphire crystal on top. The watch...

Microsoft has announced that it is revising prices for its Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Two of the four plans will now be cheaper, but with some changes to their content. The company is changing the price of the most expensive Ultimate plan from $29.99 to $22.99. However, this plan will no longer get new Call of Duty titles at launch. Instead, they will become available during the following holiday season, about a year later. The existing Call of Duty titles will continue to be available. The PC Game Pass plan pricing is also being revised, and it will now cost $13.99...

Lenovo is unveiling its new Legion Y70 smartphone on May 19, and it will be joined on stage at that event by a new Legion tablet. Lenovo is reusing the Y900 name for this one - the first Y900 came out in 2023 and was known as the Lenovo Tab Extreme outside of China. Anyway, the new 2026 edition of the Legion Y900, which you can see in the official image above, has a 3840x2560 4K LCD screen with 144Hz refresh rate and 1,100-nit peak brightness, and will be offered in two sizes: 11.1" and 13". The display has Gorilla Glass 7i on top. Undoubtedly, the new Y900 will be powered by a...

Asus officially confirmed its exit from the smartphone market in January, but apparently that doesn't apply to tablets. Today a new leak brings us our first look at the upcoming Asus Pad with some nice-looking renders. As you can see, the bezels are reasonably thin for a tablet. The Asus Pad is rumored to sport a 12.2-inch dual-layer OLED screen (think Apple's Tandem OLED and you get the idea) with a 144Hz refresh rate. There will be support for Dolby Vision as well as Dolby Atmos. Asus Pad leaked images The Asus Pad will have a 9,000 mAh battery which will support fast...

This just in, the freshly announced Honor 600 Pro is in the office and joining our review queue. It joins the vanilla 600 and the 600 Lite with emphasis on great cameras and big batteries, the Pro is the flagship. Pictured with the Honor 600 below, the Honor 600 Pro isn't bigger as both share the same 6.57-inch display. The two also share the same battery - a 7,000mAh unit outside of Europe, and a 6,400mAh unit in Europe. In terms of body durability, the pair is very robust, with coverage for both IP68, IP69, and IP69K

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon has been spotted in Korea meeting with Samsung executives. The trip is all about manufacturing chips on the 2nm process, and there's a chance that Qualcomm will turn to Samsung to fabricate the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 SoCs. Back at CES in January, Amon revealed that Qualcomm was talking to Samsung about this, and it seems like the discussions are still ongoing. If all this pans out and Qualcomm does indeed pick Samsung to fab the next top of the line Snapdragon SoC, it would mark a return to the Korean company for the first time since 2022, which is...

While last year's Honor 500 and 500 Pro remained exclusive to China, the brand-new Honor 600 and 600 Pro are making their debuts internationally from the jump. The newest members in Honor’s lineup bring a revamped design which takes some clear inspiration from the iPhone 17 Pro series with the oversized camera island and vibrant orange colorway. But outside of the iPhone look, Honor’s new phones offer impressive batteries, top-tier IP69K ingress protection and 200MP main cams.

Rumors about Apple testing a 200MP rear camera for the iPhone have been circulating for a while, with the first leak emerging in May last year. Now, a tipster suggests that the first iPhone to feature a 200MP sensor may not arrive until 2028. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, Apple is currently testing a 200MP periscope telephoto camera for the iPhone. However, Apple may still take a few years to bring the technology to market. This aligns with a recent Morgan Stanley investor note, which claims that an iPhone with a 200MP camera is unlikely to arrive before 2028. The...

Motorola is launching the Edge 70 Pro tomorrow, and it may be joined by the Edge 70 Pro+ and even the Edge 70 Pro Lite. We have no new information about the latter, but some renders showing the Edge 70 Pro and Edge 70 Pro+ have been outed today. Before you take a look, note that we don't know specifically which device we're looking at here. The X post that is the source of these implies that they show both models, and that may well be true - in that case, the differences between the Pro and Pro+ shouldn't be that many, if they look identical and are offered in the exact same...

Last month, we heard that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 will have a 4,300 mAh battery, the same as last year's Galaxy Z Flip7. A new rumor out of South Korea confirms it, while also shedding light on the Flip8's battery charging speed. The source claims that the Galaxy Z Flip8 won't get any charging speed upgrades either, meaning the smartphone will support 25W wired charging. That's not just the same as last year's Flip7, but also the Flip4 launched in 2022, as Samsung hasn't upgraded the charging speed on the Flip models since then. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8's leaked CAD-based render...

The 'vanilla' iPhone 18 has long been rumored to miss its traditional September launch window this year. It's instead said to land next spring at the same time as the iPhone 18e, leaving only the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Fold (or is that iPhone Ultra?) to be unveiled at Apple's annual event in September. Now, a leaker from China claims that not only will the iPhone 18 launch alongside the iPhone 18e, but it will be more similar to the affordable model than you may expect. That's because Apple is allegedly going to cut some costs in the iPhone 18, we assume due to...

Google has now introduced new touch-up tools in the Google Photos image editor. These let you "apply subtle enhancements" that refine skin texture, remove blemishes, brighten eyes, or whiten teeth. To use the new tools, select a face in a photo and choose one of the options: heal, smooth, under eyes, irises, teeth, eyebrows, or lips. Once you've selected an effect, you can then adjust its intensity. These tools are currently rolling out globally in the Google Photos app for Android, for devices with at least 4GB of RAM that are running Android 9.0 and later. Source

Back in January, Motorola unveiled the Moto G67 and the Moto G77. It seems there is a third model planned, based on some help pages on Motorola.com plus one Italian retailer. The Motorola Moto G87 can be seen on this page – Learn about the moto g87 over on Motorola.com. The page contains a hardware overview, alas, with no details. From the schematic images, we can tell that it looks like a typical Motorola, which isn’t much. We did find some good news – here’s how to insert a microSD card into the G87, which apparently supports cards up to 2TB in a hybrid slot. Moto G87 hardware...
