Xiaomi, Oppo, vivo and OnePlus are rumored to be exploring the idea of Android without Google
During President Trump’s first term, American companies were forbidden from working with Huawei, which effectively cut off its access to the Play Store and services. Now Trump is back in office and has started another trade war with China – so rumors are swirling that Chinese smartphone makers are looking for a backup plan in case they follow the same fate as Huawei.
Speaking of Huawei, it built its own platform, HarmonyOS. And now Xiaomi, Oppo, vivo and OnePlus along with Huawei are allegedly exploring building a Google-free version of Android.
Rumor has it that HyperOS 3 will start...

vivo details all of the AI features baked in to FunTouch OS 15
Vivo announced FunTouch OS 15 was last year and it has since been making its way to vivo and iQOO devices. Artificial Intelligence features are all the rage these days and vivo has now detailed all of the AI features found in FunTouch OS 15.
AI Erase kicks off the photography-related AI features, allowing users to remove unwanted elements from their photos. The feature is implemented in the Edit section of the Albums app.
AI Live Cutout is another useful trick that allows users to isolate subjects and items from photos via a long press.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's new launch date leaks
Yesterday we heard that Samsung delayed the Galaxy S25 Edge's planned April launch, and today a new rumor purportedly shares the new date on which the device will be fully unveiled: May 13.
It's still unclear what the reason for the delay is, but at least it's not a big one - give or take one month from the initially rumored announcement date of April 15.
Some have speculated that the delay doesn't have anything to do with quality issues, but instead is related to some changes in Samsung's management following the death of Samsung DX head Jong-Hee Han.

Poco C71 runs Geekbench confirming its chipset
The Poco C71 will be launched on April 4 in India via Flipkart, and the brand itself started teasing it yesterday. Today, the device has been spotted in the Geekbench database.
The listing has confirmed the fact that it's powered by the Unisoc T7250 SoC, which sort of confirms our theory that it's just a rebranded Redmi A5, since that model uses the same chipset too. The Poco ran Geekbench with 4GB of RAM, and it will also have a 6GB option. It will run Android 15.
Flipkart has already revealed that the C71 comes with a 6.88-inch LCD screen with HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE series leaks again
Samsung is set to announce its Tab S10 FE series tablets soon, and we now have another official-looking image for both the Tab S10 FE and its Tab S10 FE+ sibling.
The main difference between the two devices is their screen size with the Tab S10 FE featuring a 10.9-inch panel while the FE+ gets a 13.1-inch panel. Both are expected to be 120Hz IPS LCDs with 2304 x 1440 px resolution on the Tab S10 FE and 2880 x 1800 px for the larger FE+ model.

Samsung Galaxy A26 in for review
It may not be part of the flagship Galaxy S-series but the Galaxy A26 is going to be a key device for Samsung across many markets. It gets a slightly modified design over its predecessor alongside a few key specs upgrades. These are our first impressions.
There's nothing eventful in the retail box – a simple USB-C cable, a SIM ejector tool and some paperwork.
Galaxy A26 brings Samsung's new camera design with a camera island arrangement. The back is made from glass and it features Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. Our review unit sports the fresh Mint color which falls right in...

Huawei Mate X6 in for review
This is the Huawei Mate X6 and unlike its predecessor, it will sell outside China. But is it any good?
Its hardware package is certainly impressive. The Mate X6 has bigger displays than the Galaxy Z Fold6 but weighs the same 239g.
The Mate X6 is also impressively thin when folded at just under 10mm (compared to 12.1mm for the Galaxy).
There's a solid feel about the Mate X6. It folds with a neat clasp and unfolds with a mechanical assurance from the hinge. It's also lovely to look at in this Nebula Gray.
Both displays are superb. The inner one is particularly large (a tad...

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is coming in 2025, here are the details
Next year, Samsung will launch the Galaxy Z Flip7, the successor to the Flip6 which arrived this summer. But, according to a new rumor, it won't be the only flip phone Samsung releases in 2025. Instead, it will be joined by the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE.
This will be a cheaper version, which will most likely use the same display as the Flip7, but will have lower-end cameras and a different, less powerful SoC. Whether or not that compromise will sit well with people remains to be seen, but it most likely all hinges on the actual price difference.
Those hoping for a Z Flip 7 FE should be excited....

Apple’s affordable Vision Pro launch delayed past 2027
With its $3,500 price tag and limited market availability, Apple Vision Pro did not turn out to be a huge commercial success. Apple is expected to launch a successor sometime next year with the upcoming Apple M5 chip, but that device is not expected to come with a lower price tag. Noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests a more affordable Vision Pro device is still in development, but its production and launch have been postponed beyond 2027.
Kuo also reiterated that Apple will update its Vision Pro with the M5 chip next year. He also mentions that the M5 Vision Pro will hardly...

Apple unveils M4 Pro and M4 Max with up to 16 CPU cores and 40 GPU cores
Today Apple has officially announced the new MacBook Pro, and it's powered by a choice of M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips. The M4 Pro and M4 Max are new, and have also been unveiled today "to form the most advanced family of chips ever built for a personal computer", Apple proudly boasts.
The M4 Pro has an up to 14-core CPU with 10 performance cores and four efficiency cores. Apple says it's 1.9x faster than the CPU of the M1 Pro, and 2.1x faster than Intel's Core Ultra 7 258V.
The GPU has up to 20 cores which enable graphics performance twice as good as that of the M4, and up to 2.4x...

Oppo Find X8 Ultra camera specs leak
Oppo has launched the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro last week, but the top dog in the line is yet to make an appearance. When it does eventually show up, the Find X8 Ultra will unsurprisingly be a monster cameraphone.
Today a source in China is sharing the details of the upcoming device's camera setup, and all we can say is it's fit for the cameraphone purpose for sure.
Oppo Find X7 Ultra
The Find X8 Ultra is said to sport a quad camera arrangement on its rear, with 50 MP sensors all-round, and two periscope zoom cameras: one for 3x optical zoom, the other for 6x optical zoom.

Kuo: non-Pro iPhone 16 models are facing underwhelming demand
The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are facing underwhelming demand, and Apple has reportedly cut orders by as much as 10 million units between now and the first half of next year, according to the latest report from longtime Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Total iPhone 16 series production for Q4'24 is now expected to gross 80 million units. That’s down from the previous estimate of 84 million, which itself was a decrease from 90-91 million units for the iPhone 15 series last year. The iPhone 16 series production is forecasted to drop to 45 million units in Q1 ’25 and 39 million units for...

Google Pixel 9a's main camera comes from a much more expensive device
Google's Pixel 9a is expected to land in March, and we've already seen it in some intriguing leaked renders, which very much highlighted its lack of a camera bar/visor thing.
Now a new rumor tells us the Pixel 9a will ditch the 64 MP main camera of its predecessors, and will instead borrow the 48 MP unit used in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Google's most expensive smartphone.
The Pro Fold being a foldable device, and one not made by a Chinese manufacturer, you shouldn't expect top level quality. But still, this should be a better snapper than what the Pixel a line has had before.

Redmi A4 5G's bargain basement price revealed along with its full specs
The Redmi A4 5G was semi-announced last week, intended to be one of the cheapest 5G devices in India. Not just that, but it's the first model to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 platform, which was created specifically for entry-level 5G handsets.
That's all well and good, but during the official semi-announcement, Redmi forgot to tell us anything about the price (or most of its specs). Luckily though, a new leak is here today to fill in the blanks. First, price. The A4 is said to go for INR 8,499 when all possible offers and discounts are included.
That's bargain basement...

Xiaomi 14T vs. 14T Pro
You are in the market for an upper-midrange phone or just a solid all-rounder, and you are boujnd to find this year's Xiaomi 14T Series enticing. But it's hard to tell the Xiaomi 14T and the Xiaomi 14T Pro apart, which makes it even harder to decide which one to get.
And yet, the 14T Pro asks for a serious price premium over the vanilla 14T. At the time of writing, the price difference is around €150-200. A non-trivial difference, we’d say. So let's see what it has to offer on top of the already excellent Xiaomi 14T.

Infinix Hot 50 Pro+ goes official with a 120Hz AMOLED screen and 6.8mm slim design
The Infinix Hot 50 Pro+ that surfaced last week has been officially unveiled. One of the biggest highlights of the Hot 50 Pro+ is its sleek design. It is 6.8mm thin, and Infinix is touting it as a smartphone with "world's slimmest 3D-curved SlimEdge design."
The Infinix Hot 50 Pro+ is a 4G smartphone powered by the Helio G100 SoC. It has 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage onboard, expandable via a microSD card.

Snapdragon 8 Elite rules AnTuTu with Apple A18 Pro defying score
On Monday, Qualcomm is finally announcing the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, formerly known as Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Now, a leaked AnTuTu score from a prototype Realme GT7 Pro is doing the rounds showing a record-breaking result of 3,025,991.
That puts it well ahead of Apple's A18 Pro (which manages about 1.65 million points) as well as MediaTek's recently unveiled Dimensity 9400, which managed a score in the 2.8 million range last time we checked.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite is rumored to come in two iterations, a base one with two cores running at up to 4.09 GHz and six at 2.78 GHz, and a...

Xiaomi Smart Band 9 review
Xiaomi's original Mi Band was a catalyst for affordable fitness trackers. The lineup didn't even have a display intially (it got one in 2016 with the Mi Band 2), or a heart rate sensor - it was as barebones as they come.
Now in its 9th generation, the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 has a 1200-nit display with Always-On functionality, a quality heart rate sensor (which Xiaomi says is 16% more accurate than in version 8), and a new linear vibration motor for better haptics. Compared to series 8, the new band has a bigger battery, and a brighter display.
What's missing? Built-in GPS. For that, you'd...

Weekly poll results: the Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro are great, but pricing is an issue in some regions
The Xiaomi 14T phones are hot stuff and they drew a lot of interest in last week’s poll. However, the pricing is proving to be an issue in some regions. Not all, some commenters are reporting that they managed to get great deals and are happy with their purchase.
Still, the results speak for themselves – the Xiaomi 14T Pro poll is nearly evenly split between people who like the phone and people who think that it is too expensive. We had more options in the poll and (as we suspected), some are just not fans of the HyperOS software. The hardware, however, had few detractors.

As promised, Oppo today introduced the Oppo K12 Plus in China. It's powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC and comes with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage onboard, expandable by up to 1TB via a microSD card. The smartphone runs Android 14-based ColorOS 14 out of the box, but Oppo hasn't made any promises about the number of software updates it will receive.
The Oppo K12 Plus is built around a 6.7" 120Hz FullHD+ AMOLED display, having 1,100 nits peak brightness and wet touch control support. Oppo also boasts about its self-developed shock-absorbing diamond structure and...

Apple Watch Series 10 teardown reveals disappointing repairability
The Apple Watch Series 10 launched last month and now it's finally time for us to take a look at one from the inside. That's because iFixit has published its video teardown of the 46mm version, and it is quite fascinating.
To get into the watch you need to take advantage of a gap that is .176 mm across, and just pry, pry, pry, and keep on prying - having previously applied heat. The teardown reveals the 327 mAh battery capacity, and also the rather gigantic size of the Taptic engine - it's like a third of the battery's size.

Apple thinks buying an iPhone 16 Pro will turn you into a Hollywood movie maker
Apple recently published an ad that was all about the brand new Camera Control featuring in the iPhone 16 series, and today the company has uploaded a brand new ad.
This one is all about slo-mo video capture. Cinematic 4K 120fps, specifically, in Dolby Vision, on the new iPhone 16 Pro.
As you can see, the ad really drives the point across that the new iPhones can capture very nice looking slo-mo video, and the word "cinematic" definitely isn't misplaced.

Apple to use microLED in AR glasses and 2026's Apple Watch Ultra
Given how it's canceled its order for microLED displays for the Apple Watch Ultra 3 earlier this year, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Apple was done with the technology, but a new rumor refutes that hypothesis.
According to a tipster on X, Apple is still very much invested in microLED, aiming to finally use it in an Apple Watch Ultra model launching in 2026 (one year earlier than rumored at one point back in February). But that's not all.
Apple is also reportedly going to use microLED panels for AR glasses which will be mass produced in 2026 as well. So if this pans out, 2026...

Today courtesy of prolific Chinese leakster Digital Chat Station we get purported details about its CPU cores. According to DCS, the Dimensity 9400 will have one Cortex-X925 super-large core clocked at up to 3.626 GHz, three Cortex-X4 large cores, and four Cortex-A720 cores, though the latter could be a typo since Cortex-A725 are the latest designs from Arm.

Apple may be reconsidering its AR strategy in the wake of Meta's Orion reveal
It seems that Apple watched the launch of Meta’s new AR and VR glasses with interest and has started to reconsider its “spatial computing” strategy, reports Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. And it wasn’t the cheap Quest 3S that caused doubt within the walls of the Cupertino HQ, not so much the Ray-Ban Meta glasses either, but the Orion prototype.
VR cuts you off from the world and replaces it with a fully virtual world. Some goggles, like the Quest 3 and 3S, use cameras with color passthrough to create more of an AR experience – a mix of virtual and real things. Apple’s Vision Pro does this too,...

Galaxy S25 Ultra is thin all around, iOS 18 is out, Week 38 in review
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the hottest story this week. We learned that it will be thinner than the Galaxy S24 Ultra at 8.2mm and that it will have thinner side bezels too - enough to outdo Apple's latest iPhone 16 Pro Max.
We also learned the battery capacities of the S25 series - a 4,900mAh unit in the S25+ matches its predecessor, the S25 will have the same 4,000mAh unit as its predecessor, and unsurprisingly, the S25 Ultra will match the S24 Ultra's 5,000mAh unit.

Weekly poll results: it's a bad start for the iPhone 16 series as people look for alternatives
Things aren’t going the way Apple was hoping. Before September, analysts reported that Apple would be building more iPhone 16 phones, mostly upping the number of Pro models produced. Now that the first week of pre-orders is done, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo compiled data that shows that pre-orders are down and it’s mostly the fault of the two Pro models (the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus numbers actually went up!).
Let’s look at the results from last week’s poll to try and figure out what went wrong. Apple didn’t increase the prices, which was great to see. The higher charge rates over USB-C and MagSafe...

Samsung Galaxy F05 announced, a variant of the M05 and A05
A few days ago, Samsung India unveiled the Galaxy M05, which was basically a re-release of the Galaxy A05. Now the company has introduced the Galaxy F05, which looks different on the outside, but isn’t on the inside.
The phone’s claim to fame is the leather pattern on the back. As far as we can tell, there is only one colorway available right now, Twilight Blue.
Samsung Galaxy F05
While we’re looking at the back, we should note the 50MP camera with an f/1.8 aperture. It can record 1080p video at up to 60fps. Next to it is a 2MP depth sensor. Going around the front, there is...

Huawei's global YouTube channel a posts Mate XT Ultimate video, hinting at a global launch
When Huawei announced the Mate XT Ultimate, its one-of-a-kind tri-fold phone, it only detailed plans for a launch in China and made no mention of a global release. Will this be yet another cool phone that never leaves China? Perhaps not, seeing how the company is using its global social networking account to promote the XT.
First, the company shared these promo images on X. It doesn’t say anything about a wide launch, though.

It wasn’t that long ago that foldables were just concept devices, but now they are relatively common. And some manufacturers are already looking at the next stage of their evolution – more folds! The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate tri-foldable was introduced yesterday and it is practically a 10” tablet that fits in your pocket.
Is it too big? Well, early hands-on reports from China are in and the answer is that it’s big, but not unmanageably big. The XT is made up of three segments that can be folded out in stages.
The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate measures 12.8mm thick
The first stage is...

Motorola Edge 50 Neo in for review
Time flies. The Motorola Edge 50 Neo was unveiled this week (our hands-on here), and today we have it at our doorstep and ready for review!
We got the Pantone Poinciana color, which is between orange, red, and magenta. It's a fascinating color in person, and trust us, it's much punchier than what the camera can show.
The phone ships with a color-matching protective case and a USB-C cable. Some markets may also receive the 68W charger as part of the package.
The Motorola Edge 50 Neo may sound like a compact handset if you're judging it by its specs - it has a 6.4-inch display...

vivo X200 to have downgraded wired charging
vivo's X200 is now rumored to come with a surprising downgrade to its wired charging capacity. The X100 launched last year with support for 120W wired charging, but based on a recent Chinese certification, the X200 will only support 90W.
Its wireless charging support will be non existent, exactly as in the case of its predecessor. The battery will however be bigger than the X100's, around 5,500-5,600 mAh, so perhaps the charging downgrade will be worth it in the end.

The phone is expected to sport the Dimensity 9400 chipset, a 6.3x-inch "1.5K" screen with micro curves on...

Motorola Razr 50 lands in India on September 9
While the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra was launched in India last month, the 'vanilla' Razr 50 is yet to join it. That will, however, change early next month.
Motorola has just announced that it's bringing the Razr 50 to India on September 9. It will be available from Motorola itself as well as Amazon. The marketing materials which are out so far emphasize the Razr 50's "segment's largest 3.6" external display", as well as the fact that you can use Google's Gemini on it.
The Razr 50 comes with a 6.9-inch 1080x2640 inner display with 120 Hz refresh rate and 3,000-nit peak brightness, the...

Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro specs leak, October launch tipped again
Oppo's Find X8 recently surfaced in a live photo, and today some more details have been outed regarding both it and the Find X8 Pro. The Find X8 is allegedly going to launch in China in October. Today's leak doesn't know anything about the Pro's unveiling, but we have recently heard that it would become official at the same time as the vanilla model, since they're both going to be powered by the same chipset: the MediaTek Dimensity 9400.
The Find X8 is now said to have a 6.7-inch "1.5K" 120 Hz flat screen, up from 6.5" to 6.6" in the last rumor on the matter. The handset will apparently...

Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 leaks with a much faster GPU, CPU will get a boost as well
Qualcomm has fallen into a pattern – launch a Snapdragon chip, then introduce a faster “+” variant and a cheaper “s” variant. There was the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in late 2023, then came the beefy 7+ Gen 3 in March and, well, now an “s” model is on the horizon. It’s not official yet, maybe that will happen during Qualcomm’s big event in October. For now, we have this leaked slide that was shared by Evan Blass.
Focusing on the details at the bottom, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 will have a 20% faster CPU, 40% faster GPU and 30% faster NPU, while offering a modest 12% improvement in power...

Google's Zoom Enhance is finally here, check out these sample images
Last week Google launched the Zoom Enhance feature, but only on the Pixel 8 Pro – sorry, Pixel 8 users. The new Pixel 9 series will have it out of the box, of course, even the vanilla model. However, these are still a couple of days away from shipping. Here’s an early preview of what this feature does, courtesy of Peyman Milanfar, who works at Google on computational imaging, machine learning and vision related tasks.
First, what is Zoom Enhance? Unlike Super Res Zoom, this feature works even after you’ve taken the photo. If you have a Pixel 8 Pro (or are reading this after you received...

Huawei triple-fold device appears in new live photo
Huawei is working on a triple-folding smartphone, and we saw one photo of the unfolded device in the hands of Richard Yu, CEO of the CBG (Consumer Business Group) division.
Today, exactly one week later, another shot appeared online, and at this point, it looks unlikely that these "leaks" are accidental. Here, the executive is holding the device in its folded form. We can see it is an extremely thin device with a bulging camera island.

Insta360 Link 2 webcam leaks sans the gimbal, but it will be cheaper
Back in 2022, Insta360 unveiled the Link webcam. It is a camera with Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) capability and people tracking, which gave you the freedom to move around the room while the camera worked to keep you in frame. It seems that a sequel is on the way, but it is going to change the formula significantly.
The original Insta360 Link
Here’s a first look at the Insta360 Link 2 webcam, thanks to leaked images shared by Roland Quandt. As you can see, the motorized pan and tilt mechanism is gone (the zoom function on the original Link relied on AI upscaling rather than optical...

vivo Y300 Pro has a ridiculously huge battery
Last week the vivo Y300 5G leaked, and today it's time for another member of the same upcoming family to surface: meet the vivo Y300 Pro. This will be the successor to the Y200 Pro which was only announced in May - vivo sure is moving fast with the Y series.
The Y300 Pro's main claim to fame will undoubtedly be its humongous 6,500 mAh battery, which is a huge step up from the 5,000 mAh cell of its predecessor. But wait, there's more - while the Y200 Pro's 5,000 mAh battery charges at 44W, the Y300 Pro's 6,500 mAh battery will charge at 80W.

Teardown video shows Nio Phone 2's premium and not so premium components
Nio unveiled its second smartphone during the 2024 Innovation Day, which also brought a new car OS and the industry’s first 5nm smart driving chip. How does a car maker build smartphones? The same way that smartphone makers do, more or less. WekiHome has a detailed disassembly video that offers a peek inside the phone.
The Nio Phone 2 upgrades the original design with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (up from Gen 2). The disassembly process starts as usual, by removing the SIM card tray. There’s a rubber ring to keep water out (the phone is rated IP68 and claims it can dive up to 2m underwater for 30...

Apple rolls out new iOS 18 and 18.1 betas, the same for iPad and Mac
Apple has rolled out new beta versions of its various OS branches for phones, tablets, computers, watches, set-top boxes and AR headsets. Here’s what’s changed.
Apple Intelligence is the headlining feature of iOS 18.1, but there are some growing pains. In particular, there were rendering issues when using the new Siri UI with large Apple CarPlay displays. This should be resolved now.
iOS 18 is also being developed and Apple is on beta 6 right now. This adds changes like Place ID for Apple Maps, “a unique and persistent identifier”. Another change is that if you’re adding your ID to...

Weekly poll results: the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus struggles to justify its higher price
Last week we asked your opinion on the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus. It was already available in the UK and since then it launched in India too. Let’s have a look at how the poll went.
The Plus model is £50 more for a 12/256GB unit in the UK and ₹2,000 more in India for an 8/256GB unit. And that’s the difference if you look at MSRP, the regular 2a phone has been around for a while and gets discounted often enough, which makes the price gap even larger.
And so, unsurprisingly, many think that the new phone is too expensive for what it offers. Nothing switched to a different chipset to offer...

It’s no surprise seeing Pixel 9 leaks at this point. Still, Evan Blass (@evleaks) shared another batch of official-looking renders for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL giving us yet another look at the devices as well as few comparison shots that show their size difference.
Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL
We can see the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL will feature a prominent height difference with the 9 Pro rumored to sport a 6.34-inch OLED display while the 9 Pro XL is expected to launch with a 6.73-inch panel. Both phones appear to have similarly sized bezels as well as centered...
