Tecno Spark 50 Pro and Pova 8 battery capacities revealed

Tecno showcased the Pova 8 at MWC in Barcelona in early March, but the phone still isn't official. However, it has now been spotted in a TUV listing. This reveals the fact that it has a 7,750 mAh battery, much larger than its predecessor's 6,000 mAh cell. Tecno launched the Spark 50 5G in late March, but the Spark 50 Pro has yet to join it. That device has also been spotted in the TUV database, with a 5,800 mAh battery. While smaller than the Pova 8's, keep in mind that the Spark 40 Pro only has a 5,200 mAh battery.

AI Mode in Google Search now helps you book restaurants in the UK

AI Mode in Google Search has received another new feature in the UK, following its initial rollout in the US last year. It can now book restaurants for you. You just need to describe what you're looking for, and list all of your needs and preferences. Google uses "find a table for two at a dog-friendly Italian restaurant in Shoreditch for Saturday at 7PM" as an example in the post announcing the new feature. There's also "find me a sushi restaurant nearby that has a table for four that also serves vegan tempura". You get the idea. AI Mode will show you a curated list of places to...

The leaked press renders showcase the Razr 70 Ultra in Orient Blue Alcantara and Pantone Cocoa Wood finishes.

Google Chrome gets vertical tabs and immersive reading mode

Google Chrome on desktop is getting two long-awaited features. These included vertical tabs as well as a new immersive reading mode. Both of these features have been available on other browsers for a while now so Chrome is late to the party as usual, but better late than never. The vertical tabs feature is exactly what it sounds like. Instead of having all tabs appear in a row at the top of the browser, they appear in a vertical stack on the side. This allows you to see a lot more tabs at once than what can fit in a horizontal row, and the column can be collapsed to take less...

Here's the Motorola Edge 70 Pro in leaked marketing materials

The Edge 70 Pro is one of three Edge 70 devices still left to be launched according to a recent rumor, and today a couple of purported marketing images showing it have been outed by a tipster over on X. As you can see, the tagline for the device is going to be "seize the night", which makes us think Motorola will heavily market its camera abilities, especially for nighttime photography. The handset will be offered in three colorways, depicted in the image above, though these don't match up with what was recently leaked, so as always don't forget to take any rumor (including this...



Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max's periscope telephoto camera will be different

Xiaomi is expected to unveil the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max in September, one year after their predecessors. According to a new rumor from a tipster on X, both upcoming devices will use the same 200MP periscope telephoto camera. The interesting thing is that it will have an 85mm focal length, which is way less than the 115mm focal length of the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max's 50MP periscope telephoto camera. Thus, the output on the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will probably be marketed 3x or 3.5x instead of 5x like on the current generation. Xiaomi 17 Pro Max With the higher-res sensor used, Xiaomi...

vivo X300 Ultra in for review

We have some great news. The much-anticipated vivo X300 Ultra has just arrived for review. We're fans of vivo's Ultra, because it always pushes the envelope when it comes to imaging innovation. As usual, we're doing the unboxing first. Like its predecessors, this year's vivo Ultra comes with a color-matching case, a charger, and a USB cable. What's new with the X300 Ultra is the charger.

vivo launched the X300 Ultra last week, and if you have been curious to take a look at this monster of a camera phone's insides, you're in luck. The Chinese YouTube channel WekiHome has taken one apart, and the full disassembly is shown in the video embedded below, complete with details about each and every component. Of course, it's in Chinese, but try the auto-translated captions, they are surprisingly good (at least for English). This device is, as you may already know, vivo's all-out camera-centric flagship for 2026, and unlike its predecessors, it will also be available...



iPhone Fold may arrive earlier than recently rumored

The iPhone Fold (or Ultra) has widely been reported to finally become official this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. However, recent rumors have claimed that it wouldn't actually start shipping right away - Apple would announce it at the same event as the Pros, but those would become available in late September as usual, while the Fold would take a few more weeks to actually arrive in stores according to one source. Another source claimed it might only be released in December. However, Apple seems to be doing all it can to have the iPhone Fold's arrival fully...



Google is launching a Pixel that's exclusive to one market

Limited editions are all the rage in many different fields, and Google apparently wants to play this game too. So it's preparing a Pixel phone that will be limited to only one market - it's not limited in the number of units available (that we know of), but will only be sold in Japan. What is this mystery device? Google's official X account for Japan has released the teaser image you can see below. And while it doesn't outright say what device this is, we're going to go ahead and assume it's just a colorway for an existing phone, a hue that won't be available elsewhere. Since...

Honor Earbuds 4 unboxing and hands-on

What do you need out of your EDC (everyday carry) earbuds? Monster battery life? Is 46 hours good enough? Active noise cancellation? We'd say up to 50dB of noise reduction is great!

Now the price? Roughly $50-$70 (€45–€70), though they're not available everywhere - currently in the Middle East and China. Unboxing the buds, you get three pairs of rubber eartips in different sizes. You have a...

Notification Rules could make Android alerts even more flexible

Android’s notification management system is already quite advanced and flexible, but it might be getting some additional smarts pretty soon. Android currently has features like Notification Channels, Notification Cooldown, Modes and Notification Organizer. Now Google is apparently working on something called Notification Rules. Notification Rules were spotted in Android 17 Beta 3. According to the strings unearthed by Android Authority, rules can be based on Apps or People. The available actions when a given rule matches its criteria are: Silence, Block, Silence and Bundle,...
