Google Pixel 10 series may bring a useful display upgrade

Chinese smartphone makers have recently started caring a lot about the eye health of their customers, constantly resorting to third-party "low blue light" certifications as well as very high rates of PWM dimming. Google? Not so much. Not at all, really. But that may all change later this year. According to a new report, the company is finally planning to do something about its low PWM dimming rate "later this year", which obviously implies the Pixel 10 series will be the first in Google's history to have high PWM dimming. Google Pixel 9 Pro In case you're unaware, most OLED screens...

Google CEO hopes Gemini will be built-in on iOS 19

Back in February, some code in the iOS 18.4 beta revealed that Apple was preparing to add Google's Gemini to Apple Intelligence, following its initial partnership with OpenAI for ChatGPT.

He added that he's been in talks about the feature with Apple CEO Tim Cook throughout 2024. Pichai hopes that a deal on the matter between the two companies will be done by the middle of this year.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's main and ultrawide cameras revealed

Yesterday the selfie camera of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge got revealed to be using the S5K3LU sensor with 1/3.2" type size. Today the same source is back with confirmations of the main camera as well as the ultrawide, and thus the phone's full camera package has now been outed (since it doesn't have a telephoto). The main camera is unsurprisingly (since it was rumored a lot) the same 200 MP unit used on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with a 1/1.3" type sensor. The ultrawide is 12 MP and uses a 1/2.55" type sensor, which means it will be identical to the ultrawide found in the Galaxy S25 and...

Motorola Edge 60 in for review

Motorola's Edge 60 series is here, so it's time to unbox the Edge 60. But before we get to the sceneted box, a word on what's different between this green Pantone Shamrock Edge 60 and its blue Pro counterpart. The Edge 60 has the same display and camera system as the Pro, as well as the same IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance and MIL STD-810H compliance. However, the Edge 60 has a smaller 5,200mAh battery with slower charging (68W vs 90W, no wireless), a less-powerful chip (2.5GHz Dimensity 7300 vs 3.35GHz Dimensity 8350 Extreme), and one less button - the AI key on the Pro's upper left...

iPhone 18 models to get enhanced memory, iPhone 17 series to have 12GB of RAM

According to a new rumor from the usual reliable Digital Chat Station over on Weibo, all four iPhone 17 models will sport 12GB of RAM, and the A19 Pro chip used for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will be made on TSMC's 3nm process with significantly improved performance versus the A18 Pro.

Samsung is making this Ferris wheel free for two weeks

In what may be the weirdest promo in a few weeks at least, Samsung is now advertising its Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy AI by providing everyone with a free ride on The View Ferris wheel in Brussels, Belgium, on Place Poelaert.

Samsung is bringing back the Classic Galaxy Watch

Last year Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch7 alongside the Galaxy Watch Ultra, but there was no Classic model with a rotating bezel. There are apparently still quite a lot of fans of the rotating bezel, and thus Samsung will launch the Galaxy Watch8 Classic this year along with the Galaxy Watch8. This has now been revealed through the Watch8 Classic's certification at the Bluetooth SIG, which has confirmed its name and model number - SM-L505U. The Watch8 and Watch8 Classic are expected to make their debut with the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 in early July. At the beginning of this...

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 to launch early

Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in October of last year, so you'd normally assume its successor, tentatively called Elite 2, would arrive this coming October. However, according to a rumor out of China, the next Elite will actually be announced in late September. Then, in October, we'll already see devices using it hitting the streets, at least in China. Previously, the Elite 2's AnTuTu benchmark score got leaked, suggesting some pretty healthy upgrades in performance compared to its predecessor, and then we heard that its GPU performance would be up by 30%, while...

Weekly poll: would you buy a vivo X200 Ultra if you could? What about a vivo X200s?

The vivo X200 Ultra is the kind of phone that is built to cause envy in those that don’t have it – which will be almost everyone outside of China, since vivo has not announced any plans to make the Ultra available outside of its home market.

Apple wants you to use the iPhone 16 without a case

Smartphone makers have upped their durability claims significantly in recent years, but up to this point none have gone so far as to tell you that it's okay to use their products without a case. Whether that's because they don't trust that the phones would survive random drops, or they don't want to endanger their lucrative business selling first-party cases, we'll probably never know. Anyway, today Apple has chosen to do the (previously) unthinkable and basically tell people it's okay to use the iPhone 16 without a case. That's the gist of the company's latest ad, which you can see...

iPhone 17 Air's insane thinness shown again as its RAM amount leaks

A couple of days ago a video showed us a mold of the upcoming iPhone 17 Air, showcasing how insanely thin it is with its 5.65mm silhouette. Today three new images have been leaked showing all four members of the iPhone 17 family on top of each other, and it's very, very obvious which one is the Air. There's barely any room for the buttons on the sides and the USB-C port at the bottom, that's how thin it is. Of course, rumor has it this will come at the expense of battery capacity, unsurprisingly, and it will also only have one rear camera. iPhone 17 family dummy units...

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip FE might not be called that after all

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE (sometimes referred to as the Z Flip7 FE) has been rumored for months as a cheaper flip-style foldable that may be launching alongside the Galaxy Z Flip7 in early July. The name was never in doubt (confusion regarding the presence of the number 7 aside), until now. Today a new report says the more affordable Samsung flip-style foldable could end up being called Galaxy Z Flip Xe, for whatever reason. Of course nothing's confirmed yet, so do only take this as a rumor and nothing more at this point. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 We do however have to wonder, if...

IDC: Huawei crushes the foldable phone competition in China

Huawei is not just dominating the foldable market in China – it is extending its lead. In the final quarter of 2024, Huawei shipped 2.506 million units for a 48.6% market share, per IDC data.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's chipset leaks and you might not like it

Samsung released the Galaxy S24 FE in October of last year, and so we're probably still a few months away from the launch of its successor. Still, we may now have an idea of what chipset the Galaxy S25 FE will employ, and it's one you may not like. According to a new leak, the S25 FE will go with Samsung's own Exynos 2400e SoC. If that sounds familiar, it's because the S24 FE has the same chipset at the helm. So if there are going to be any upgrades this year, they definitely won't be in this area. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Of course, this is just an unconfirmed rumor at this point,...

Here's how thin the iPhone 17 Air is, in-hand

The iPhone 17 Air is coming in September to take on Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge, and a ton of rumors have already told us that it's going to be even thinner than Samsung's device (5.5 mm vs. 6.4 mm).

HMD Skyline 2 is coming, here's when

HMD launched the Skyline in July of last year, and it's currently working on that phone's successor. The unsurprisingly named HMD Skyline 2 will arrive exactly one year after the original, in July of this year. That is, of course, if an X account with a decent track record of HMD-related leaks is accurate this time around. There are unfortunately no other details about the next Skyline, aside from the fact that the brand will apparently write the "2" in the name in superscript. We're not doing that. HMD Skyline For what it's worth, the original Skyline has a 6.55-inch P-OLED screen...

Samsung One UI 7.0 is around the corner, Galaxy M56 arrives, new Moto tablet and laptop, Week 16 in review

Samsung has been so slow in unraveling its One UI 7.0 that, for a second week in a row, the most intriguing piece of news was what will be in the update, not which devices will get it.

Samsung Galaxy A36 vs. Samsung Galaxy A35

So, you've decided to get one of Samsung's popular A3X midrangers and are now wondering whether to spring for the new Galaxy A36 model or stick with last year's Galaxy A35? It's a fair question since the two phones offer a similar experience. In the States, the Galaxy A36 costs as much as the A35 so getting the newer model is really a no-brainer. In the EU, the situation is almost the same if you shop around, even though if you go by the MSRP, the A36 should be around €50 more expensive than the A35. In the UK, the A36 is only available in a 256GB tier, while the A35 is only available...

Deals: Galaxy S24 FE discounts are back, Pixel 9, 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL also on offer

Last week, the Samsung Galaxy A36 got its first discount and that is still in effect. The Galaxy A56 is still “coming soon” and will have a starting price of $500. After the A36 and A56 were announced, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE deals dried up. Now they are back – an 8/128GB unit costs $500, the same as the A56. However, the FE model has a higher-end chipset (Exynos 2400e vs. 1580), better water resistance (IP68 vs. IP67) and a telephoto camera (8MP 3x/75mm). It also supports DeX.

With the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy A26 some of you are probably wondering whether the 2024 model Samsung Galaxy A25 is still worth buying in 2025 or you should go for the newer A26.
