Samsung Galaxy S24 FE and Tab S10 series to be unveiled next week, maybe

With all the recent leaks, you may have been wondering when to expect Samsung's Galaxy S24 FE and Tab S10 series to finally become official. A while back we heard that this would happen in October, but earlier today Samsung's arm in Vietnam mistakenly uploaded a video to YouTube where it announced an unveiling event for September 26, which is next Thursday. The devices were even slated to then go on sale within hours of the launch ending. So that seems pretty much settled then, but there is a twist. The video has been made private, which means it was either uploaded too soon, or Samsung...

iPhone 17 family to have big display upgrades

The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Slim (which will replace the Plus model since it's not selling well at all), iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max will all come with significant display upgrades next year, according to Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants. Young says the iPhone 17 will finally get 120 Hz refresh rate and an LTPO OLED panel, meaning it will be able to vary the refresh rate down to very low rates, possibly even 1 Hz. This has been a very long time coming, since Apple still, even with the iPhone 16 family, gatekeeps high refresh rate for the Pro models. Alongside the...

Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold wired charging support officially confirmed and it's disappointing

If you've been wondering why our testing revealed the fact that the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold takes a whopping one hour and 36 minutes to fully charge, the answer is quite simple - but not great news. It turns out that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has the slowest wired charging support of all Pixel 9s. It tops out at just 21W. This unfortunate number has finally been confirmed directly by Google today. So with that context in mind, it's no surprise that the search giant's second foldable smartphone takes so long to charge. If you're wondering why Google would pull something like this,...

DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro arrives with 4-hour battery life, 13.5-stop dynamic range

GoPro's Hero 13 Black has some real competition now in the form of DJI's newly announced Action 5 Pro. DJI advertises a "groundbreaking" 13.5-stop dynamic range and four-hour battery life from its 1,950 mAh battery. Even at -20° C (-4°F), it can record for up to 3.6 hours. Compare all of these numbers to the "industry average for action camera battery life" of 2 hours, and you'll definitely be impressed. What's more, if you use DJI's 30W USB-C charger you can get 2 hours of shooting from a 15-minute charge. The camera has a 1/1.3" sensor with 2.4 μm pixel size. It can shoot 4K video at...

Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro's earliest announcement date revealed

Oppo is introducing ColorOS 15 on October 17 with - you guessed it - a focus on AI. And if you were wondering when the company's next flagship smartphone line would be getting official, we now sort of have an answer. According to Digital Chat Station over on Weibo, the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro could be unveiled as soon as October 21. Not sooner than that, it seems. But it's reasonable to assume it could be later. Not much later, since Chinese companies are all competing with each other to launch new flagship products as soon as possible each year. Oppo Find X7 Ultra The Find X8 and...

Apple Intelligence is finally unleashed thanks to iOS 18.1 public beta

It's finally here - sort of. Following the disappointing launch of iOS 18 on Monday without any Apple Intelligence features, today these have finally become available to the regular, non-developer public. But only if you are willing to try out iOS 18.1 (or iPadOS 18.1), as its first public beta has now come out following a period of developer-only testing. Keep in mind that the beta might have plenty of issues and bugs, so it's generally not recommended to install on your main device. If you do want to try your luck, then you need to go to Settings > General > Software Update, tap the info...

Sony 1000XM5 headphones get pink versions

Not long ago Beats decided to Kardashianize the Studo Pro headphones with some new colors, and today - coincidence or not - Sony is following suit. Only there's no Kim Kardashian here, and we're only getting one new color, not three. Both the WH-1000XM5 over-ear headphones and the WF-1000XM5 true wireless earbuds are now being offered in pink. This seems to be true across regions, but the exact name of the new colorway will vary by locale for some reason. Rest assured that it is, however, the exact same pink everywhere. The products are identical in every other respect...

Samsung Galaxy A56 is in the works with huge performance boost

Samsung has started working on the Galaxy A56 months ago, presumably, but it's only now that we get our first proof of the matter via a listing in an IMEI database. The Galaxy A56 appears with its model number SM-A566B/DS. For reference, an A55 variation had the model number SM-A556B/DS, so things are clear here. Interestingly, Samsung's Exynos 1580 chipset, which should be at the helm of the Galaxy A56 when it launches, will bring a significant performance boost compared to its predecessor. In fact, according to a Geekbench run from July, the Exynos 1580 is around the performance...

Moto G75 leaks in two colors

Motorola's mid-range G line is in the middle of a refresh, and one of the still-upcoming devices is the Moto G75, which has been leaked today in two colors. Some of its specs have also been outed. The G75 will be IP68 certified for dust and water resistance, and it will also have "military grade durability". Its main camera will use Sony's Lytia 600 sensor with OIS, while the screen will be a 6.8-inch FHD+ one. The G75 will have "powerfully efficient Snapdragon performance" (whatever that means) and Dolby Atmos support. Moto G75 leaked renders Those are all the spec details...

Android 15 release date leaks

Google has already sent the Android 15 code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), but it hasn't released an update for its supported Pixels yet. That has been rumored to arrive next month, and today we finally have a purported release date. According to a new report, Google will start the over-the-air rollout of the Android 15 update for Pixels on October 15. This report also comes with the caveat that things could still change from now until then, especially if some show-stopping bugs are found in the meantime. Android 15 will be available for the Pixel 6 and newer devices....

Xiaomi overtook Apple in terms of global sales for August

Xiaomi claimed the number two spot in Counterpoint Research’s global monthly sell-through volumes for August. The Chinese brand outpaced Apple which came in third place while Samsung retained the leading spot. Xiaomi’s shipment figures in August remained flat but Apple’s seasonal decline in shipments ahead of the iPhone 16 series launch played a pivotal role that led to its declining market share. Redmi Note 13: Pro 4G, Pro 5G, Pro+ 5G On the other side, Xiaomi has been growing rapidly in 2024 with 22% year over year growth in sales volume. Counterpoint analyst point out...

Infinix Zero Flip full specs leak revealing a big cover screen

Infinix is working on its first foldable smartphone, the Zero Flip, which was already certified by the FCC with 70W wired charging support back in June. Now its full specs have been leaked courtesy of a Facebook post by a Vietnamese retailer, which also shared the three promo images you can see below. The Infinix Zero Flip will come with a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED folding screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, a 3.64-inch cover display with 120 Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass on top (which version isn't detailed), a 50 MP main camera paired with another 10.8 MP camera, and a 12 MP selfie...

Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro will offer Circle to Search

Circle to Search launched in January on Samsung's Galaxy S24 series and was then released by Google for its Pixels. The feature's exclusivity to Samsung and Google devices is ending, however, in a good bit of news for us consumers. According to leaked promo materials, the upcoming Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro, which will become official next week, on September 26, will both ship with Circle to Search preinstalled. In fact, it will be an important part of Xiaomi's marketing push for these devices, along with other Google Gemini-powered AI features like AI Notes, AI Interpreter, AI...

Nothing Ear (Open) is launching on September 24

Back at IFA earlier this month, Nothing teased the Ear (Open) headphones and now the company has seemingly revealed the date of their official announcement. It's going to happen on September 24 at 14:00 UK time (15:00 CET, 9 AM in New York, 6 AM in California, and 18:30 in India) as per Nothing's social media channels. As you can see, Nothing hasn't outright revealed what the event is about, but there have been no leaks or rumors about any other upcoming Nothing product aside from the Ear (Open), so that has to be it. Out in the open. A new arrival is landing on 24.09.2024...

iPhone 16 Pro sales are below expectations, analyst claims

There's no iPhone 16 'supercycle', according to famed purveyor of Apple-related rumors Ming-Chi Kuo. The analyst has shared his data compiled from a supply chain survey and pre-order results from Apple's official websites. And the numbers paint a bleak picture for Apple. Pre-orders for the iPhone 16 series in the first weekend are estimated to be about 37 million units, down 12.7% year-on-year compared to the iPhone 15 family's first-weekend sales. And this is regardless of the fact that first-weekend sales for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus were up year-on-year. Demand for the...

HMD Skyline brings its Lumia looks to India

The HMD Skyline was originally unveiled back in July as a Lumia doppelganger, and today it's finally made its way to India, where it's now available for INR 35,999 at Amazon. For that amount of cash you get the Neon Pink version, as it's the only one in stock at the moment. The HMD Skyline has a 6.55-inch 1080x2400 P-OLED display with 144 Hz refresh rate and 1,000-nit peak brightness, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset at the helm, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a 108 MP main rear camera with OIS, a 50 MP 2x optical zoom telephoto camera, a 13 MP ultrawide, a 50 MP selfie camera, and a...

iPhone 16 Pro battery replacement will cost more than for any other iPhone

Apple has decided to hike the price of battery replacement for its latest premium smartphones, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The company is charging 20% more for these than for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. Not just that, but keep in mind that battery replacement for the entire iPhone 15 family costs the same. Now though we have a price gap between the 16 Pros and the 16 non-Pros as well as all other iPhones that came before them. The replacement for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will cost you $119, while for the vanilla iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus it's $99 -...

Apple Watch sleep apnea detection is now FDA certified

Following the FDA authorization of the new Hearing Aid mode for the AirPods Pro 2 last week, today Apple has another wearable in a similar situation. The sleep apnea detection for the Apple Watch is now FDA certified. This will work with the Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2. The Apple Watch Series 10 will be released on September 20. The feature will be part of watchOS 11, which is expected to go out today. Once you enable it, it needs ten nights of sleep tracking data over a 30-day period to determine whether you may have sleep apnea. It also offers insights into sleep...

Huawei Watch GT 5 hands-on video published ahead of launch

Earlier this month, Huawei announced that it will reveal the Huawei Watch GT 5 on September 19 (Thursday this week) and even offered a glimpse at the design. Not that there is much to see, as there are no radical changes from the Watch GT 4. This was confirmed when renders of the new model leaked out and now there is even a short unboxing video. Huawei Watch GT 5 (stills from the hands-on video) The watch follows the now established design with an octagonal body and a circular graduated bezel. According to the note, however, this generation will come in 46mm and 42mm sizes,...

Pixel 9 Pro Fold snaps in durability test

Last year’s Google Pixel Fold failed JerryRigEverything’s bend test so we’ve been waiting to see if its successor - the Pixel 9 Pro Fold can survive the durability test. The start is promising – the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protected cover screen scratches at level 6 on Mohs hardness scale while the main UTG screen is covered in plastic and scratches at a level 2. It’s all downhill from there as the host adds sand and small rocks on the main screen which immediately find their way inside the device and its hinge. The bend test starts at the 5:40 mark in the video, and like last year,...

Samsung, Xiaomi and other makers found guilty of colluding with Amazon and Flipkart

Samsung, Xiaomi, and other major smartphone companies are guilty of breaching antitrust laws, according to regulatory reports. Reuters revealed that the Competition Commission of India (CCI) found that Amazon and Flipkart violated local competition laws by giving preference to select makers, hurting other companies. Samsung Galaxy M35 is cheaper on Amazon India, compared with offline stores The CCI posted a 1,027-page report on Amazon, colluding with Samsung, Xiaomi, Motorola, Realme, and OnePlus. All these companies had "exclusive phone launches," breaking competition law. Similar is...

Top 10 trending phones of week 37

Apple's new lineup is here and expectedly it took our trending chart by storm. The iPhone 16 Pro Max was by far the most popular phone in our database in week 37, with the 16 Pro taking the silver medal. [#InlinePriceWidget, 13123, 1#] The vanilla iPhone 16 completes the all-Apple podium, while another exciting new product to come out this week ended up fourth. Huawei's Mate XT with its tri-fold design will likely only sell in very limited numbers, but there's clearly no shortage of interest from the general public. Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra came in fifth with the Galaxy A55...

Deals: refurbished iPhone 15 models, Galaxy S24 series discounts and foldables

This week all eyes were on Apple and the new iPhone 16 series. Pre-orders started this Friday and will last a week – shipments and open sales start next Friday. You can pre-order from Apple.com and, if you do, make sure to check the trade-in deals. Apple made a big deal about them during the presentation.

Weekly poll: are you getting an iPhone 16? Which one?

This week was the annual iPhone launch. The announcement was on Monday, pre-orders started on Friday, shipments and open sales will kick off next Friday. Will you be among the people who upgrade to an iPhone 16? Let’s start with an overview. The 16-series brings more powerful Apple A18 and A18 Pro chipsets that can run AI, Apple Intelligence specifically. However, that won’t be out for at least a month and, if you are in the EU or China, it might take much longer. Apple iPhone 16 highlights The other major change this generation is the Action Button, which is a configurable...

Weekly poll results: the Honor Magic V3 proves hugely popular

Only 1 in 10 people think that there are better foldables than the Honor Magic V3, judging by the results from last week’s poll. This comes with an asterisk as some potential competitors just aren’t available in all the markets where the V3 is present. That’s their loss, however (and, perhaps, a loss for consumers). Anyway, there is the persistent vote from people who just don’t like foldables. That’s okay, Honor has plenty of traditional phones. But those voters aside, most people like the Magic V3 – the only major issue with it is its price. Even so, a whopping 41% of voters are...

vivo V40e specs and render surface online ahead of launch

Vivo is getting ready to launch a new member of its V40 family, the vivo V40e. But even though the name suggests it's a lower-tier phone in its respective lineup, the leaked specs online suggest it shouldn't be overlooked. The render shows part of the device's design and one of the color options likely called Royal Bronze. It's also clear that the display will be curved and the back design will be largely similar to its siblings. Vivo's internal testing claims that the display can reach 4,500 nits of peak brightness. Additionally, the V40e will be the slimmest smartphone on the...

Honor 200 Lite's India launch date announced

Honor launched the Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro in India in July, which will be joined by the Honor 200 Lite next week - on September 19. The Honor 200 Lite comes with the Dimensity 6080 SoC, up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and Android 14-based MagicOS 8.

The Honor 200 Lite sports four cameras - 108MP primary, 5MP ultrawide, 2MP macro, and 50MP selfie. It also features a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication.

iPad users in the EU can download apps from third-party app stores starting on September 16

Following the same feature on iOS, which has now been available for a few months, iPad users in the EU have something to be happy about next week. Starting on September 16 (Monday), they will be able to use third-party app stores to download apps to their iPads. This most likely means the support for third-party app stores will be baked into iPadOS 18, since it's going to be released on Monday. Additionally, iPadOS browser apps will be able to use alternative engines that are not Safari's. This was announced back in May and now it's finally on the cusp of becoming reality. This...

The tri-fold Huawei Mate XT next to the Galaxy Z Fold6 really puts things into perspective

Huawei just launched the world's first tri-fold smartphone, the Mate XT Ultimate. It folds in three. And yet, even with all of that folding and three panels to account for, it manages to almost match Samsung's latest Galaxy Z Fold6 in thickness when folded. The following picture shared on Reddit today speaks louder than a thousand words. On paper, the situation is like this: the Mate XT is 12.8 mm thick, while the Fold6 is 12.1 mm thick, so - on paper - Samsung wins this war. But - just look at the image above. 0.7 mm is almost imperceptible of a difference to the human eye. And...

Meizu teases the Lucky 08, a new $280 "flagship AI phone"

For a company that supposedly "moved on" from the smartphone business, Meizu sure is launching a lot of smartphones these days. Earlier today we told you about the new Note 21 series, which is even going international, and the company has also teased another new device, seemingly part of a new series. The Meizu Lucky 08 smartphone is advertised to arrive on September 25 as a "flagship AI phone" by the company. It will cost CNY 2,000, which right now translates into about $280 or €255 - so it can't possibly be a true flagship at that price. It does, however, look...

Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro leak in official-looking renders showing all colors

Xiaomi is announcing the 14T and 14T Pro on September 26, the company confirmed today. And mere hours later, a full set of leaked renders has emerged for both devices. These show the Xiaomi 14T in four colors, and the 14T Pro in three. As you can see from the renders, the Leica branding is still present and very prominently applied to the camera housing on the back. Xiaomi 14T leaked renders The camera island itself is a rectangularly shaped one in the top left of the rear. Both handsets have three cameras, while the fourth 'ring' is for the LED flash array. Neither seems...

Apple's AirPods 4 don't even ship with a USB-C charging cable

Apple has, a few years ago, stopped shipping charging adapters with its phones, starting a trend that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Now, it has boldly removed yet another thing cluttering its boxes: the charging cable. The newly announced AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (what a name!) do not have even a cable in the box, let alone a charger. This information is official and has been confirmed by Apple itself through its spec page for the new earbuds. So, we're left wondering what's next. Will the AirPods 6 spec page say "Charging Case (USB-C) sold...

Chrome now lets you easily get rid of those annoying site notifications

You know how, despite promising yourself years ago that you'd never ever do it again, you keep tapping on Yes when websites ask to send you notifications? If so, then you're surely aware of how annoying it is to have your notifications cluttered up by random ones from random websites. Thankfully, Google Chrome has a solution - instant unsubscribe, in the notification itself. This is launching first on Pixels but is promised to land on more Android devices "soon", and it will offer an Unsubscribe option right inside the notification. Tap that and you're done - at least with that specific...

AirPods Pro 2 just became the best value hearing aids on the market

On Monday at its grand launch event, Apple announced a new Hearing Aid mode coming to the AirPods Pro 2 as a software update. This feature has now been authorized by the FDA, paving the way for its rollout. This will make the AirPods Pro 2 among the cheapest hearing aids on the market, dedicated or not - and they're also very good earbuds for playing music and listening to other media on top of that. Apple's Hearing Aid function will either use a hearing test that is performed on the spot using your AirPods Pro 2 and your iPhone, or an audiogram from a hearing health...

Huawei Mate XT Ultimate's repair costs are truly eye-watering

Huawei's Mate XT Ultimate is the world's first tri-fold smartphone, announced yesterday. It's a truly unique product and a showcase of Huawei's innovation capability, but since it's the first of its kind it's also very expensive: CNY 19,999, which right now translates into a whopping $2,809 or €2,549. The phone's price, however, is far from the only expensive thing about it. It turns out that the repair costs are eye-watering too. According to the official price list published by Huawei itself, repairing the Mate XT Ultimate's screen will set you back CNY 7,999 normally, which is $1,123 or...

Samsung Galaxy M55s leaked renders show a unique design

The Samsung Galaxy M55s first surfaced in July when it received its Wi-Fi Alliance certification, and then last month it ran Geekbench revealing its Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset. Today, renders showing the upcoming phone have been leaked and they portray a very unique design with (as far as we can tell) no less than three different textures on the (seemingly plastic) back. Not even the top of the line Galaxy S24 Ultra can boast something like that, so this is intriguing to say the least. The Galaxy M55s is expected to be very similar to the already available M55 and F55 in terms of...

HMD Fusion modular smartphone is now available, without all the modular bits

The HMD Fusion was unveiled earlier this month, and now it's become available to purchase from HMD itself in Europe. You'll have to pay €269.99 to get it with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, or €299.99 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The phone's main selling point is its modular design - it has so called Fusion outfits, basically interchangeable covers that can add features like wireless charging, more rugged protection, a ring light, that sort of thing. HMD is certainly not the first company to try its hand at the modular (or rather, in this case, more like modular-ish)...

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra gets certified with satellite connectivity support

Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra has appeared in some leaked renders yesterday, and now it's been spotted in the 3C certification database. This reveals that the phone will support a maximum of 45W wired charging, which is hardly surprising. It will also, perhaps more interestingly, support satellite connectivity in the SM-S9380 iteration that should be headed to China. It's unclear if all the various regional variations will get it too. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to measure 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2mm and weigh 219g. It will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, paired with...

vivo T3 Ultra's key specs and price segment confirmed ahead of tomorrow's debut

vivo has confirmed the key specs of the vivo T3 Ultra ahead of tomorrow's debut in India. The brand has set up a promo page on its Indian website, revealing that the T3 Ultra will be powered by the Dimensity 9200+ SoC and will have up to 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage onboard. The vivo T3 Ultra will have a 6.78" 1.5K 120Hz curved AMOLED screen with 4,500 nits peak brightness and HDR10+ support. It will be fueled by a 5,500 mAh battery with 80W wired charging support. For photography, the vivo T3 Ultra will have three cameras - 50MP primary (Sony IMX921, OIS), 8MP ultrawide, and 50MP...

Oppo Find X8 leaks in more hands-on images, will have its own Dynamic Island

Oppo's Find X8 is expected to land in October, and today some leaked hands-on images purportedly show a live working prototype. As you can see, the Find X8 in question is using a huge case that's meant to cover up the fact that it's an unreleased smartphone roaming the streets of China. In the rightmost image we see Oppo's interpretation of Apple's Dynamic Island at work. The Find X8 has also been rumored to 'borrow' the Camera Control from the iPhone 16 family. The Find X8 will have a 6.5" to 6.7" flat screen with 1256x2760 resolution, according to previous rumors. It will be...

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra leaks in first renders, its weight is revealed too

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is only expected to arrive in January, and yet it's been in the news a lot recently. Today we even get the first set of leaked renders depicting the upcoming device. Note that these are CAD-based renders, which means some details may not be accurate due to the lack of relevant information in the CAD files. In this instance, this has been specifically pointed out by prolific leakster Ice Universe. According to him, the camera ring design is unknown at this point, so what you see here is mere speculation. The placement of the cameras is accurate, we're...

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE to be more expensive than its predecessor

Samsung's Galaxy S24 FE is expected to launch either towards the end of this month, or in October. It will arrive with a downclocked version of the Exynos 2400 chip, the same charging as its predecessor, a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, 1,900-nit peak brightness and Gorilla Glass Victus+ on top, a 50 MP main camera, a 12 MP ultrawide, an 8 MP 3x optical zoom telephoto, a 10 MP selfie camera, and a 4,565 mAh battery. Oh, and a price hike. According to a new rumor from a usually reliable source, the Galaxy S24 FE in Europe will be €100 more expensive than the Galaxy...

Here are the Apple iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro prices around the world

Apple just introduced the iPhone 16 phones with A18 chipsets. Plenty of new AI-powered software features will be enabled next month for free, and here's how much the phones themselves will cost. We've compiled prices for the United States, United Kingdom, Germany (which is more or less the same across the whole EU), India, China, and Japan. The prices remain unchanged from last year with one exception being India, where the Pro variants actually got cheaper. Apple iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus colors Apple will offer all four iPhones with 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB storage. The second...

iPhone 16 and 16 Plus get powerful A18 chipset, keep the old screens

As you can imagine, AI was a major part of tonight’s Apple event – and the new iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are designed for the computational demands of Apple Intelligence (that’s what Cupertino calls its AI) with a new 3nm chipset. The Action and the Camera Control will change how you interact with your iPhone too, these are design elements shared with the Pro. Let’s start with the display. The panels are the same size as before, 6.1” for the iPhone 16 and 6.7” for the iPhone 16 Plus, which makes them 0.2” smaller than the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, respectively. They still run at 60Hz (no...

Apple iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max: what we know so far

The launch Pre-orders for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will start tomorrow if not later today. We are probably looking at two weeks of pre-orders, so the...

Upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 series will be more expensive than expected

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Tab S10 flagship tablets soon, as the devices were spotted in leaked promo images. Today, a new report comes from Switzerland, where the prices for the S10+ and S10 Ultra options were posted. The new tablets could be about CHF 150 (about €100) more expensive than the previous series, which would be an interesting sight because they are rumored to have a Dimensity 9300+ chip. Switzerland Galaxy Tab S10+ Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra 256 GB, Wi-Fi CHF 1,179 (€1,258) CHF 1,399 (€1,492) 512 GB...

OnePlus 13 confirmed to arrive in October

OnePlus 13 is expected to launch with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, and today, we have a clearer timeframe for its arrival. Louis Lee, President of OnePlus China, confirmed the new flagship will be introduced next month. The executive confirmed that OnePlus 13 is coming with "the latest generation of flagship chips," meaning the phone's launch will be shortly after the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 launch, expected in mid- to late October. The device also reached 120 Hz while playing Genshin Impact, which is a testament to "further performance enhancements in gaming experience." A...

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL vs. Pixel 8 Pro
