The iPhone 17 is coming on September 9, Galaxy S25 FE rumors, Week 35 in review

Apple made it official - the iPhone 17 series' announcement, among is coming on September 9. At the event, Apple will unveil the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The tagline Apple chose for this event is "awe-dropping" - get it? The Galaxy S26 Ultra's battery capacity was tipped in a certification filing, and it's the same as the Galaxy S25 Ultra's - a rated capacity of 4,855mAh, which translates to a typical capacity of 5,000mAh. At least we could still hope for faster 65W charging. Realme showed us two concepts during its 828 Fan Festival in China. The...

Weekly poll results: Pixel 10 and 10 Pro score high, 10 Pro XL not so much, Pro Fold in trouble

Last week’s poll shows that the four Pixel 10 models will go on different trajectories – and not all of them are pointed towards success. A broad view of the series shows that price is a concern – Google didn’t raise the prices compared to the 9-series, but many people have trouble justifying the cost. Even though availability is still limited to only select markets, this didn’t prove to be a huge issue. Google’s battery woes (most visible in the a-series) have given it a bad reputation. Worse, the news that Pixel 10 phones will start to gradually restrict battery capacity and...

Deals: Samsung Galaxy S25 series, S24 FE discounted, OnePlus 13 and 13R also on sale

On Thursday next week, Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S25 FE and the new Galaxy Tab S11 flagship slates. There are no official details for the S25 FE yet, but we’ve seen leaks and we can guess that it will be an evolution of last year’s S24 FE with a new chipset. Speaking of the Galaxy S24 FE, it started at $650 for the base 8/128GB model and we can expect the S25 FE to cost the same or thereabouts – plus some pre-order perks, of course (perhaps the new Galaxy Buds3 FE). Of course, the old S24 FE no longer costs as much as it did back then – you can grab one for $460 right now. But should...

Samsung is getting its chip licenses revoked in China

Samsung and SK Hynix seem to be caught in a crossfire between the US-China trade war, as the two chip manufacturers are getting their licenses revoked by the US Commerce Department and won't be able to use new equipment in their Chinese factories. Samsung and SK Hynix both have chip manufacturing facilities in several countries, including China. The interesting bit about the Chinese factories, however, is the fact that Samsung, for example, produces legacy chips over there, leaving the production of high-end chips in South Korea and the US. The US is a key partner in the chip...

Samsung's Exynos 2600 runs Geekbench again with improved scores

Back in July, Samsung's Exynos 2600 chipset was spotted in the Geekbench online database with some less than impressive results - a 2,155 single-core score and a 7,788 multi-core score. Today the chip has run the benchmark again, with much improved scores, and ones that finally live up to its flagship level. This time, it managed a 3,309 single-core score and an 11,256 multi-core score, so Samsung is definitely tweaking things for the better, seeing as how these results are close to Apple's M3 and beat Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite. The Exynos 2600's second benchmark score shows a...

Tecno Pova Slim 5G to debut on September 4

Tecno will launch the Pova Slim 5G on September 4. The upcoming handset is claimed to be the slimmest 5G smartphone in the world with a curved display. Earlier this month, a rumor hinted that Tecno will be bringing the Spark Slim concept phone to India, but under a different name. It appears that the phone will debut as the Tecno Pova Slim 5G, but will otherwise be very similar to the concept. Tecno hasn’t shared any details about the upcoming Pova Slim 5G, but a Flipkart microsite details some of its features. The handset will come with the company’s Ella AI smart assistant with...

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 may not be called that

In late September, Qualcomm will unveil its next-gen flagship chipset, the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Elite from last year. We've been tentatively calling this the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, but today a new rumor out of China claims that might not be its name at all. Instead, Qualcomm could opt for the initially much more confusing Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. There are two reasons for this, if it does pan out. First, while "Gen 5" sounds weird since the 8 Elite only came out last year, that chip was actually the successor to the 8 Gen 3 (so it's "Gen 4" despite not being called...

OnePlus 15 runs Geekbench as more specs are revealed and a render shows all colors

A OnePlus phone with the model number PLK110 has run Geekbench earlier today, and since it's powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, it's most likely the OnePlus 15. The benchmark run has revealed the chip itself as well as 16GB of RAM and Android 16 running things. The results are very low as you can see, but don't take that into consideration - this is clearly a very early prototype. It has however revealed that Qualcomm's next flagship CPU has two prime cores clocked at 4.61 GHz and six performance cores clocked at 3.63 GHz. At the same time in China, Digital...

Samsung Notes updated with landscape support, other improvements

One UI 8 was a major overhaul of Samsung’s user interface, but the company’s first-party apps are getting their own improvements too - it’s not just the base UI. For example, the Samsung Notes app just got an updated version with two new features and some bug fixes. The two major additions are support for landscape layout and support for sticky notes. The former refers to creating notes with the “page” oriented horizontally, not having the option to use the app in landscape orientation (which was already supported). This will be a great fit for tablets like the newly announced Galaxy...

Xiaomi announces HyperOS 3.0 based on Android 16, beta rollout begins shortly

Xiaomi officially announced HyperOS 3.0 based on Android 16 for its phones and gave a list of devices that are eligible for beta testing. It's important to note that the announcement was for the Chinese market, so some features may vary, and the release dates will likely be different as well. The new HyperOS 3.0 brings a slight visual revamp with new icons, a new status bar and the addition of Super Island. Additionally, 3.0 also offers AI capability improvements and under-the-hood tweaks for enhanced performance. The Super Island feature is much like the Dynamic Island on iOS. It...

Report: TSMC 2nm chips on track for Q4 mass production

Earlier this year, we saw a report which claimed that TSMC is struggling with its 2nm chip yield. This was rumored to lead to delays for key customers like Apple, but a new report from DigiTimes claims that TSMC has things under control now and 2nm chip mass production is on track for Q4 this year. According to the new report, TSMC will simultaneously begin mass producing 2nm chips at its Baoshan and Kaohsiung plants in Taiwan, with a combined monthly wafer output of 45,000 to 50,000 units by the end of this year.

Google starts delivering Pixel 10 pre-orders

Oppo Find X9's full specs leak, big upgrades in tow

Oppo is expected to be unveiling the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro (and perhaps a third Plus model too) in October. Ahead of that, full specs for the Find X9 have purportedly been leaked today. Do however keep in mind that some past rumors claimed the X9 would have a 6.3" screen, and so if that pans out then these specs actually belong to the Find X9 Plus. Regardless, let's dive in. The phone allegedly has a 6.59-inch LTPO OLED screen with "1.5K" resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, and it's powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 SoC.

At the event, Apple will unveil the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The tagline Apple chose for this event is "awe dropping" - get it?

Huawei unveiled the FreeBuds 6i TWS earphones in May 2024, and it looks like the company is ready to announce the successor, FreeBuds 7i. A tipster has reportedly leaked live images of the upcoming wireless earphones on Weibo. As per the leaked images, the FreeBuds 7i TWS appear to carry a similar design to their predecessor.

Samsung wins an award for next-gen cooling tech

Samsung's next-generation Peltier cooling technology, co-developed with the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, has received a 2025 R&D 100 award, which is apparently often referred to as the Nobel Prize of Engineering and the Oscars of Innovation. The award is handed out by R&D World Magazine and recognizes the world's 100 most innovative technologies each year.

Google will make Android's Quick Share work with iPhones

Google and Samsung launched the unified Quick Share on Android last year, and now it seems like the search giant is busy making it compatible with iPhones... somehow. A teardown of the latest Google Play Services beta app has revealed this fact, actually confirming an initial report from almost a year ago. Clearly then, it's taking some time, but it's still coming. And when the functionality does arrive, here's a screen you'll see on your Android smartphone when attempting to share something with an iPhone while not being signed into your Google account: So, interestingly, it seems...

The Xiaomi 16 Pro is rumored to drop the quad-curved display

Last week, we heard that the Xiaomi 16 Pro will have a slightly larger 6.8” display (possibly as big as 6.85”), which is up from 6.73” on the Xiaomi 15 Pro. Leakster Smart Pikachu has some good news for those that didn’t love the quad-curved display of the 2024 model – Xiaomi is going with a flat panel this time. Curved sides “hide” the real thickness of bezels, so Xiaomi will reportedly slim down the bezels of the flat display to compensate and make the 15 Pro and 16 Pro look comparable. The new display will have improved eye protection technology that will work at high brightness...

The company has already teased this device, and today it's revealed something new. The device will also have a built-in cooling fan - that is, unless the company plans to unveil more than one handset during its 828 Fan Festival, that's also a possibility of course. Unfortunately, no other specs have been shared by the brand, so everything besides the battery capacity and cooling fan's presence remains a mystery. But it did show us the phone's back at least, here it...

Google opened a new chapter in the Pixel phone story – the first models with TSMC-made chipsets are up for pre-order. Three of the new models will start shipping next week, the foldable won’t be out until early October. The prices are the same as last year, which is great – even better, Amazon throws in gift cards with pre-orders. The Google Pixel 10 is the first vanilla model to have a telephoto lens.

Weekly poll results: the Redmi 15 series is too low end to incite any interest

We live in strange times – prices of old hardware are going up instead of down. This puts affordable devices in a tough spot as hitting their price points becomes quite a challenge. The Redmi 15 series is a good example of that – in last week’s poll we asked you whether you had an interest in any of the three models and the responses are less than positive. The predominant opinion is that these are too low end and that you can get more for your money with other models. Starting with the Redmi 15 5G, this one has the best chance – some would get it for themselves, others would recommend...

Oppo F31, F31 Pro, and F31 Pro+ are coming, main specs leak

Oppo is apparently preparing a new line of smartphones for launch in India. It will comprise three models: the F31, F31 Pro, and F31 Pro+. Today on X a tipster has seemingly revealed their main specs, so let's dive right in. The F31 is allegedly powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC, paired with a 7,000 mAh battery with support for 80W wired charging. The F31 Pro keeps the same battery capacity and charging spec, but switches up the chipset to the Dimensity 7300.

Oppo A6 5G shows up on TENAA

An unannounced Oppo phone was spotted on TENAA getting its certification under the PLS120 model name. This will most likely be the Oppo A6 5G. Its specs look pretty similar to those of the Reno 14F 5G, but there are some differences. The TENAA document mentions a 6.57-inch AMOLED display with a 1080 x 2372 pixel resolution and 1073.74 million color depth. The chipset is an unnamed octa-core part with a 2.4GHz rated clock speed, so it might not actually be the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 found inside the Reno 14F and Reno 13F. It is paired with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB, 256GB or...

Last month, a reliable tipster claimed that Huawei would unveil the Watch GT 6 series this year in September or October. Well, Huawei sort of corroborated that claim today as it announced a September 19 launch event in Paris. We say "sort of" since Huawei hasn't explicitly mentioned the Watch GT 6 series in its event announcement post on X, but the image included in the post shows two smartwatches, which confirms the Watch GT 6 lineup will be introduced at this September 19 event in Paris.
