Xiaomi 17T nabs another certification on its way to a rumored early launch

The Xiaomi T series devices have always launched in September, but that may change this year. According to a recent rumor, the 17T and 17T Pro may get official as early as May, and that theory does seem to be supported by the fact that they've already been certified by a bunch of authorities across the globe.

Rumor: iPhone 19e may bring ProMotion display

It’s been less than a week since the iPhone 17e was announced, but we’re already getting our first batch of rumors for its successor’s successor. The iPhone 19e, which should launch in early 2028, is now rumored to bring a ProMotion display. That’s a variable refresh rate panel in Apple lingo, which would be a breakthrough for the budget “e” lineup, which has thus been limited to 60Hz panels. According to a new report from ZDNet Korea, Apple is currently developing a new LTPO+ technology which uses oxide materials for both switching and driving transistors, leading to improved power...

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, M47 and F70 Pro emerge in GSMA listings

A trio of upcoming Samsung phones appeared on the GSMA database. The Galaxy S26 FE (SM-S741B/DS), Galaxy M47 5G (SM-M476B/DS) and Galaxy F70 Pro 5G (SM-E476B/DS) were spotted in certification listings confirming their existence.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold to be imminently discontinued

According to a new report from Samsung's home country of Korea, the Galaxy Z TriFold, the company's first double-folding smartphone, will be discontinued about three months after its launch. Samsung will allegedly end domestic sales of the device on March 17. The company has been notoriously selling out of the phone a bunch of times, as it's only produced it in incredibly small quantities. So there were only ever a few units available, which naturally sold out instantly. The same source says sales will continue in the US, where the Galaxy Z TriFold became available later than in...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 and the 'wide Fold' will both have bigger batteries than the Fold7

The Samsung Galaxy Fold line has had the exact same 4,400 mAh battery capacity since the Galaxy Z Fold3, which came out in 2021 - and, funnily enough, the Fold2 from 2020 actually had a bigger 4,500 mAh battery. This situation is ridiculous when you look at what Chinese foldables can offer in terms of battery capacity these days, and apparently Samsung is finally going to do something about it. A new rumor claims the Galaxy Z Fold8 launching later this year will finally up this battery capacity - but not by much. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 It will, however, go all the way up to 5,000...

Weekly poll results: the iPhone 17e looks too cheap to cost $600

In last week’s poll about the Apple iPhone 17e, some 30% of voters say that they are not looking to buy an iPhone. Another 30% say they are looking for a new iPhone but are aiming for a more premium model. The 17e does have its fans, but it is a niche device – let’s break it down. Only 10% of voters are ready to buy a 17e outright and around half of that would join them if they like what they see in reviews. Speaking of, we have a review unit at the office and already posted an unboxing video. There is plenty to dislike on the iPhone 17e – even though it’s the most basic model, it still...

Rumors of a Samsung wide foldable have been going around for some time now. Last we saw of the device were a couple of UI animations for One UI 9.

The obvious drawback is an extra-wide form...

The vivo X300 Ultra will bring a host of improvements compared to its predecessor, and while we've mostly focused on the photographic side of them, there's another side to it: audio. Vivo's Han Boxiao took to Weibo to tease some substantial improvements to the audio capture and audio reproduction of the upcoming global flagship.

vivo patents vertically rollable smartphone

Rollable smartphone concepts have come and gone in the past few years, but we've yet to see an actual product using a rollable display (there are, however, rollable-screen laptops already). While the rollable smartphone concepts we've seen thus far have all rolled the screen out of the side, vivo has patented something else entirely - a rollable screen that becomes longer, not wider. The vivo rollable device pictured in the patent application becomes taller as you roll out the screen, which is definitely interesting to see, yet we can't help but wonder what the actual use cases for...

MacBook Neo is surprisingly repairable

The brand-new MacBook Neo is projected to be a hit in terms of sales and could turn out to be one of Apple’s most important laptops in recent memory. While its main claim to fame is the relatively affordable $599 base price ($499 for students), the Neo is also Apple’s most repairable laptop in a long time. YouTuber Phone Repair Guru performed a teardown of the Neo, and the results are fascinating. Apple opted for an easily repairable design with key components like the battery, speakers, trackpad, USB ports and display held in place only with screws and connectors. Virtually...

The Honor X80 GT is now rumored to break all mainstream battery capacity records

While Apple, Google, and Samsung continue to keep their devices (at most) around the 5,000 mAh mark, Chinese brands are innovating fast based on Silicon Carbon technology. Honor was in fact rewarded for just this at MWC earlier this month, and the brand shows absolutely no signs of stopping. According to a new rumor out of China, the upcoming Honor X80 GT will come with a 13,080 mAh battery. The 'vanilla', non-GT X80 was previously rumored to sport a 10,000 mAh cell instead, going up to that amount from the X70's 8,300 mAh, which was still definitely commendable in itself. Honor Power...
