Realme Note 60 appears on Geekbench

Realme launched Note 50 early in 2024, aiming to plug its sub-$100 hole in the portfolio. The series is practically available globally, and the company promised two more devices by the end of the year. The next phone would be the Realme Note 60, which is just around the corner. According to a source, the device with model number RMX3933 was benchmarked on Geekbench, revealing an entry-level chipset and Android 14. Realme Note 60 on Geekbench The Note 60 might be very similar to the Note 50 since the benchmark revealed an octa-core CPU with all the cores at 1.8 GHz. The...



Top 10 trending phones of week 26

It's the same podium for the third week in a row in our trending chart. The Samsung Galaxy A55 keeps reigning supreme, ahead of the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Redmi Note 13 Pro. [#InlinePriceWidget, 12824, 1#] The Galaxy A15 rises back to the fourth spot, while newly announced OnePlus Ace 3 Pro captured the fifth spot. Redmi Note 13 and Apple's iPhone 15 Pro Max retained the sixth and seventh positions. The Redmi 13C came eight this week, followed by the Galaxy A35. Realme GT 6 just held onto the last spot in the top 10, meaning that the Infinix GT 20 is the only phone to miss out...

Weekly poll results: the Realme GT 6 and GT 6T are promising, but price might be an issue

The Realme GT 6 is a really good phone, judging by last week’s poll, but that price might be an issue. A decent chunk of voters are interested, though some are holding off until positive reviews come in. You can check out our review to help you make up your mind (there’s also a video review with Will). Around a quarter of voters think that the GT 6 is too expensive and point to phones like the Poco F6 Pro and OnePlus 12R as alternatives. It looks like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (despite its age) is the preferred option over the 8s Gen 3. But these two offer a slightly different mix of specs...



WhatsApp's Community-exclusive Events feature is now available for group chats

Last month, WhatsApp announced a feature called Events for the Communities and said that it would be rolled out for groups that are not a part of any community "over the coming months." While WhatsApp hasn't revealed when exactly this feature will be available worldwide for all group chats, it's already available for some users on WhatsApp for Android's beta version 2.24.14.9. This revelation comes from WABetaInfo, who shared a screenshot (included below) showing the Events feature available for regular group chats as well that are not associated with any community. Clicking on the...



AAA games for iPhones and iPads aren't very popular

According to data gathered by Appfigures, AAA titles for iPhones and iPads aren't as big of a success as Apple may have hoped for. Currently, Resident Evil Village and Assassin's Creed Mirage are available for iOS and iPadOS as these games were used to promote the iPhone 15 Pro series' hardware prowess. But the data doesn't show promising results. In fact, Appfigures argues that these titles are actually a flop. For instance, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage has more than 123,000 downloads since its release on June 6, but less than 3,000 users paid for the full game, costing $49. And...



Deals: here are the best Android and Apple tablet deals this weekend

Amazon set the date for the next Prime Day – it starts on July 16 – but in the meantime, the retailer is running 4th of July deals. Best Buy has its own shopping holiday dubbed Member Deals Day, which offers additional savings for members of My Best Buy Plus or Total. The most interesting deals that we found from both retailers happen to be about tablets, so let’s have a look. Samsung officially confirmed the July 10 date for the big Galaxy Unpacked event, which will bring the next generation of Galaxy Tab S flagship tablets. We haven’t heard much about them, but it looks like there won’t...

OnePlus 12 and OnePlus Open get Android 15 Beta 2

Google is hard at work on the upcoming Android 15 release, and a bunch of OEMs have already started their own beta programs for it. OnePlus is one of them. Today OnePlus has announced the immediate availability of Android 15 Beta 2 for the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus Open. The instructions to install it can be found at the Source linked below. The company says this is "best suited for developers and other advanced users", and it does not recommend using it if "you have little to no experience in software development, if you expect to use the device as a daily driver". So be warned. The...



Deals: OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite, Galaxy Unpacked pre-reservations, Redmi 13 5G coming soon

Last week, we looked at several Nord models, including the Nord 3, which was down to ₹20,000. Amazon is out of stock now though. Instead, have a look at the new OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite at the same price. Well, actually a bit lower if you have Amazon Prime – subscribers get an additional ₹1,000 discount. Keep in mind that 12 months of Prime cost ₹1,500, so it will almost pay for itself. OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite ₹1,000 offPrime Members get extra ₹1,000 off Read our review ...



OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are coming soon, rumor claims

OnePlus is working on the Buds Pro 3, according to a new rumor. The company released the Buds Pro 2 back in February of 2023, and followed them up with the non-Pro OnePlus Buds 3 this February, and so we thought the "Pro" moniker was simply gone from its roster, in a similar fashion to what OnePlus did for its flagship smartphone line. But apparently that's not the case, and the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are coming to sit at a more premium level above the Buds 3. The Buds Pro 3 will allegedly be offered in black, gold, and green, but as always not all colors may be available in all markets, at...



Qualcomm wants to make it easier for phone makers to issue Android updates

Android updates are increasingly supported for longer and longer periods of time on top of the line, high-end, or upper-midrange devices across brands, but lower-midrange and especially entry-level phones have it a lot harder. Qualcomm wants to do all it can to change that, however. The issuance of updates is very dependent on the maker of the chipset in your phone, as that company has to still actively support the SoC, and for most cheaper ones, the support window ends much sooner than for more expensive ones, perhaps understandably. Even at higher price points, the cadence of updates...

Chinese Realme GT 6 teased in official images

A couple of weeks ago there was no Realme GT 6 on any market, and soon we'll have two - the already launched international version, which is a rebranded GT Neo6 for the Chinese market, and the Chinese GT 6, which is yet to be officially unveiled. Today the brand has officially started teasing it, though, releasing the two images you can see below, which nicely showcase both the phone's front and its back. Realme GT 6 official teaser images As you can see, the bezels are tiny on all sides, while the back has a very traditional Realme design. According to previously leaked specs,...

Google Translate adds support for 110 new languages thanks to AI

Google announced the added support for 110 new languages in its Translate app. Since the app supported 113 languages prior to the update, this is certainly the biggest upgdate yet. Google used its PaLM 2 AI language model to train the software in 110 new languages. The AI proved to be particularly good at learning languages related to one another, such as Hindi, Awadhi and Marwadi, as well as French creoles like Seychellois Creole and Mauritian Creole. The new update also brings support for Cantonese, which, according to Google, has been one of the most requested languages...



Samsung infographic on the Galaxy Z Fold suggests a thinner and lighter Z Fold6

On the metaphorical eve of the Galaxy Z Fold6 announcement (July 10), Samsung has released an infographic, dedicated to the progress of its Fold series. It goes device by device, starting with the Galaxy Fold of 2019, and ending with the Galaxy Z Fold5. The theme of the infographic is the reduction of thickness and weight while retaining structural integrity. The theme strongly suggests a thinner and lighter Galaxy Z Fold6 is coming in two weeks. Rumors have suggested as much, and it's logical to assume that Samsung will aim for a lower weight. Per reports, the Galaxy Z Fold6...

Nothing CMF Phone 1 specs and prices leak

Nothing has been teasing the first smartphone from its sub-brand CMF by Nothing for a while now, and today we have a list of specs for the upcoming device from a reliable source, along with pricing information for the Indian market. Let's dive right in, shall we? The CMF Phone 1 is said to sport a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED touchscreen with 120 Hz refresh rate and an in-display fingerprint sensor, the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC at the helm, a 50 MP rear camera with a depth sensor next to it, a 16 MP selfie snapper, and a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 33W wired charging. CMF Phone 1-...



Oppo Reno 12 in for review

This is the Oppo Reno 12 and it's the slightly watered-down variant of the Reno 12 Pro we hosted last week. Like that phone, it ships with nothing more than a USB cable in the box. Upfront, the Reno 12 has the same 6.7-inch 1080p display with 120 Hz refresh rate, but while the Pro has a quad-curved Gorilla Glass Victus 2, the non-Pro has a double-curved Gorilla Glass 7i. Another area where the Reno 12 differs from the Pro is the storage - 256 GB instead of 512 GB - and the cameras - you get a 2MP macro instead of the 50MP 47mm zoom, and the front camera has a 32MP sensor instead...



Samsung Galaxy S25 could use MediaTek chipsets too

A pretty wild rumor out of Samsung's home of Korea today claims the company is thinking about using MediaTek Dimensity chips for the Galaxy S25 family which is due to launch next year in January. Not just MediaTek chips, mind, but MediaTek Dimensity chips (presumably the Dimensity 9400) alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Samsung's own Exynos 2500. So if this pans out (and that's a huge if), then the next flagship family from the Korean brand could have three different SoCs in various markets. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra This, however, is far from a given, considering how even...



Newly leaked Galaxy Z Fold6 pricing paints a grim picture

Samsung is unveiling the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 on July 10 in Paris. Recently we've seen some rumored European pricing for the Galaxy Z Flip6, and today a new rumor brings very similar numbers: €1,330 for the model with 256GB of storage and €1,450 for the one with 512GB. Both of these are said to have 12GB of RAM. The Flip6 will thus be over €100 more expensive than its predecessor was at launch. Today's leak also brings us purported European pricing for the Galaxy Z Fold6, and it's not pretty. The foldable is said to start at a whopping €2,200 with 256GB of storage, then go up...

T-Mobile has an exclusive Hot Pink version of the new Motorola Razr+

Earlier today the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra went official in China, followed by a global unveiling a few hours later. The phone is known as Razr+ (2024) in North America, and T-Mobile has a very special version of it as an exclusive. We're talking about a Razr+ in Hot Pink - that's the name of the colorway, and if you look at it, you'll instantly know why. This will only be available at T-Mobile, and now we're wondering why not a "Hot Magenta" option. Seems like a missed co-branding opportunity - T-Mobile tried to make us forget by saying hot pink is "magenta's BFF", but come on, it's not...



You can now reserve a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 or Z Flip6 in the US and get a $50 credit

Samsung is shaping the future of mobile – it continues to refine foldable phones and, starting this year, it is incorporating AI into the mix.

In fact, the next-gen Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z Fold6 are still a couple of weeks away. However, you can reserve a unit today from Samsung US and you will receive $50 Samsung Credit. Okay, this isn’t a real reservation, it’s Samsung’s usual early bird promo – there was a similar campaign for the Galaxy S24 a few months...



Moto G85 quietly unveiled in Europe

Earlier today Motorola unveiled the S50 Neo for the Chinese market, and in the meantime the same device seems to have been quietly listed by the brand across Europe as the Moto G85. Like the S50 Neo, the G85 is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6s Gen 3, which is basically just a rebranded Snapdragon 695 from 2021.

Apple released the first betas of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 earlier this month during its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), and today the company is pushing the second beta for both.

All of these...



YouTube's Android app is getting a sleep timer

You may like to watch YouTube videos as you fall asleep, but if you do you've certainly noticed a huge glaring omission in the service's mobile apps. There is absolutely no way to make YouTube stop playing after a set time - there's no sleep timer. That's set to change soon. According to a teardown of the most recent version of the YouTube app for Android, a sleep timer is now finally in development, as evidenced by the strings in the screenshot below. As you'd expect, this will allow playback to stop after a specified period of time. If you haven't actually managed to fall asleep...

New Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 price leak suggests increase in Europe

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip6 on July 10, and we recently learned that the phone could be $100 more expensive in the US, compared with last year's foldable. Today, a report came from Europe, suggesting a similar price increase in the Old Continent, where the Z Flip6 will be about €150 more expensive.

Huawei's HarmonyOS NEXT Beta launches officially

Yes, it is finally happening. Huawei's HarmonyOS NEXT is shedding its janky Android roots. As promised at the Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) 2023, the OS's new version is a new and fresh software effort. Huawei officially launched the HarmonyOS NEXT Beta at this year's HDC 2024 conference. Let's go through some of the basics first. HarmonyOS NEXT is not based on Android, nor is it strictly speaking a Linux system. It is based on OpenHarmony and is a microkernel-based core distributed operating system for HarmonyOS. That is to say that HarmonyOS NEXT has the HarmonyOS microkernel. It...

Not to be outdone by Xiaomi, Redmi apparently has its own C61 in the works. The phone was first spotted on the Google Play Console with the RMX3939 model number a few days ago.

Acefast Acefit Neo in for review

Acefast is a brand popular for its semi-transparent designs and the latest gadget we are reviewing makes no exception.

The actual case has a transparent lid, through which we can see the magnets that keep the whole thing closed. The box also includes a fabric pouch with different-size hooks and a USB-C charging cable, but we should note...



Apple Intelligence may not come to the EU at launch over regulatory concerns

Last week, at WWDC, Apple jumped on the AI bandwagon by introducing Apple Intelligence for iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia. However, it may not be available at launch in the European Union since Apple has announced it could block Apple Intelligence's release in the EU over regulatory concerns. Apple said that Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring, and SharePlay Screen Sharing may not be rolled out in the EU due to the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which could force the Cupertino-based tech giant into downgrading the security of its products and services. “We are concerned that the interoperability...



Realme V60s officially listed on the Realme China website

We only recently heard about the Realme V60 and V60s through a TENAA leak which seemed to imply that both phones have identical specs. Well, now the V60s is officially listed for sale on Realme’s China website and the regular V60 was briefly as well with the same exact specs sheets. The latter listing has now been taken down, so there is still a change that the two phones might have some specs differences after all. Anyway, the Realme V60s is an entry-level dual SIM 5G device. It is rocking a 6.67-inch HD+ display, with a 720 x 1604 pixels resolution. The panel has a 120Hz refresh...

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra's camera improvements detailed in new leak

Realme V60 and V60s leak in promo materials, have specs outed by TENAA

Realme is working on a new range of smartphones it seems, based on a new leak out of China. The company is expected to introduce the V60 and V60s soon, and today a promo shot has been leaked along with specs. Intriguingly, the V60 and V60s seem to have identical specs - even their TENAA listings confirm this. Obviously then the question becomes why launch two identical models with very similar names, but we're way past asking Chinese smartphone makers such questions. Anyway, the V60 (and V60s, but we won't keep referring to both for the sake of brevity) is going to come with a 120 Hz...

Apple reportedly suspends Vision Pro 2's development as it aims to release cheaper model next year

A few months ago, we heard the Apple Vision Pro 2 wasn't coming until at least August 2025.

Adobe under fire from FTC over deceptive practices

FTC (Federal Trade Commission) is launching a case against Adobe due to alleged deceptive practices related to the company's subscription services. According to the FTC, Adobe violates the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act and the commission highlights a few key issues.

Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim – that’s what IceUniverse says will be the name of the upcoming entry in the Z Fold series set to launch this October. This device was previously seen in rumors as the Z Fold6 Ultra. The new leaks also suggest Z Fold6 Slim will be heading to China as the Samsung W25.
