Samsung confirms Exynos 2600 will be the first 2nm chipset on the market

Samsung published its quarterly financial report today, which saw total operating profits down by over 50% as its semiconductor business took a massive hit. Despite the unfavorable financial results, the earnings call did reveal a bright spot for the company’s upcoming Exynos 2600 chip – it will be fabbed on Samsung Foundry’s 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process and will be the first 2nm chipset on the market once it launches alongside the Galaxy S26 series.

Google Pixel Buds 2a official-looking image leaks

Google is unveiling the Pixel 10 family on August 20, alongside the Pixel Watch 4 and the Pixel Buds 2a. Today, the earbuds have been leaked in a new official-looking image. Unfortunately, no details about the Pixel Buds 2a have been outed alongside the render. Since they're part of the "a" series, they will of course be more affordable than the Pixel Buds 2 Pro, serving as the entry point for people into Google's earbud range. The color above will be called Iris, but the Pixel Buds 2a will also be available in a few other hues: Strawberry, Hazel, and Fog Light, according to a...

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro is also getting a battery upgrade, it's not just the S26 Edge

As you may have heard, the vanilla Galaxy S model is going away – and that is great news because it will be replaced by a more capable Pro model. What improvements can we expect? A larger battery, for starters. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro will reportedly have a battery with 4,300mAh typical capacity. That would be 300mAh more than the S25 and S24 and 400mAh more than the S23.

Google Pixel 10 family's prices in the US and Canada leak

We'd say "another day, another Pixel 10 leak" but it wouldn't be accurate anymore, as there are already multiple leaks per day regarding Google's next smartphones. Today we've seen a new round of leaked images and specs, as well as a rumor about the release date for the series. And now we have prices for the entire Pixel 10 family - again.

Samsung Galaxy S26's replacement seemingly confirmed

Yesterday we heard that Samsung might be revamping its flagship naming next year, with the 'vanilla' Galaxy S26 model not launching, replaced instead with a Galaxy S26 Pro (on top of the rumors claiming the S26 Edge would replace the S26+). Today, the Galaxy S26 Pro replacing the S26 theory has picked up even more steam, as a device with the name Galaxy S26 Pro has been caught in the GSM Association's IMEI database. It has the model number SM-S942U1, and SM-S942 has so far been associated with the Galaxy S26. Only now it seems that will be no more, as Samsung has in the meantime...

Honor Power 2 may take battery capacity past a new threshold

Back in April, Honor introduced the Power, a mid-range smartphone with a huge 8,000 mAh battery. The brand isn't done, however. According to a new rumor out of China, Honor is currently testing a new device which will have an insane 10,000 mAh battery. This is most likely going to be launching as the Honor Power 2, but it's still unclear when. Honor Power For that matter, all of its specs are still a mystery aside from the battery.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to ship with Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and One UI 8.5

Leaked firmware files reveal that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will likely launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite's successor next year and will ship with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16 out of the box. This appears to be in line with a recent report by Ice Universe revealing a shift in Samsung's software update strategy that gives the foldables the latest One UI iteration and polishing it for the Galaxy S series. The firmware file has been found on Samsung's server, which means the tech giant is already working on developing One UI 8.5 for its future S26 lineup. The firmware reads PMK8850...

Note 15 Pro+ to be the first Redmi device introducing a new connectivity feature

A few days ago some details about the upcoming Redmi Note 15 Pro+ leaked in China, and today we have yet another spec to talk about - but this one's important. That's because the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ will in fact be the first Redmi device to come with this feature. We're talking about satellite connectivity, which has so far been seen in high-end devices only. Redmi Note 14 Pro+ But the Redmi mid-ranger will bring this feature down in price.

Moto G06 is coming, here's the price

Motorola's Moto G series has always been quite expansive, but recently it feels like it's grown even more than ever. And it will continue to - according to a new leak, the Moto G06 is coming, even though its predecessor has only been on the market for a few months. As the name implies, this should be a barebones entry-level model, and today a European retailer listing has revealed its ballpark pricing. According to this, the Moto G06 with 64GB of storage will go for €122.90 in the Eurozone, while if you opt for 256GB of storage it will cost you €169.90. It's weird that there's no...

Galaxy S26 Ultra’s updated design leaks in new render

Add this to the Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks, Samsung will bring a thinner and lighter flagship with key upgrades to its screen, cameras and charging speed. The new report comes via UniverseIce, who holds a solid track record with Samsung devices and we also get a render of the device.

Redmi Note 14 SE in Crimson Art Note 14 SE comes in a single 6GB RAM and 128GB storage trim and retails for INR 14,999 ($173) – that's INR 2,000 less than the Note 14’s current price tag.

Galaxy Z Fold7 passes gruesome durability test

The Galaxy Z Fold7 made its way to JerryRigEverything’s torture chamber and it was subjected to the usual set of scratch, bend and burn tests. While foldables don't have the best track record in this discipline, the Z Fold7 outdid expectations. If you don’t feel like watching the whole video, here’s the recap: the Z Fold7 may be Samsung’s thinnest and lightest Fold to date, it’s exceptionally well built and passed all of the tests it was subjected to.

Weekly poll: do you have a smartwatch or other smart wearable?

The global smartphone market is developing at a healthy pace – it was up 10.5% in Q1 this year compared to the same period last year. In more concrete numbers, 45.6 million units were shipped in the first three months of 2025, of which 34.8 million were smartphones, the other 10.8 million were smart bands.

Expanding Mac mini M4 storage with the Beelink Mate Mini Dock (Thunderbolt 5): A hands-on test

The Mac mini is the go-to desktop for macOS users, and there's good reason for that. It's powerful, thanks to the M4 processor (and the M1 and M2 before it), it's also quiet and efficient because of that same silicon and its clever software optimization. But most of all, it's because it's Apple's most affordable computer, starting from just €699/£599/INR 59,900. That base price, however, comes with a huge caveat - on-board storage is a measly 256GB. And unlike other computers, you can't just upgrade that yourself. Purchasing the 512GB version from Apple would cost you $200/€250 more, which...

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE storage variants and color options revealed

It's almost time for the next-generation Galaxy S Fan Edition phone, so the rumors start flying in. The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to arrive sometime in September, if we go by the Galaxy S24 FE release last year, and we already know what it would look like as well as some key specs. Galaxy S24 FE The latest leak talks about the device's memory and color options. The device will offer the usual 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB storage configurations, which are a bit disappointing given that most competitors in the price bracket offer 256GB base storage. As far as colors go, which are not...

Samsung is reportedly shifting its One UI update strategy, to give priority to the foldables

After Samsung didn't handle the One UI 7 update very well, everyone thought the surprising One UI 8 release, based on the still-unreleased Android 16 with the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, was just some sort of redemption. However, it seems that it's actually the start of a new update strategy. According to the renowned tipster Ice Universe, Samsung will continue prioritizing its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip phones when it comes to software updates. So from now on, the Galaxy foldables will launch with the latest Android version out of the box, while the Galaxy S series will receive an...

Samsung's Exynos 2600 SoC spotted on Geekbench

Samsung announced the Exynos 2500 SoC last month, which is used in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 that went on sale yesterday. The Korean brand hasn't revealed anything about the Exynos 2600 SoC yet, but thanks to Geekbench, we know what to expect from Samsung's next flagship chip. A Samsung engineering device with model designation S5E9965 has been spotted on Geekbench with the Exynos 2600 chip. It's a deca-core CPU, similar to the Exynos 2500, but with a different arrangement. We are looking at a 1+3+6 configuration, having a single prime core clocked at 3.55 GHz, three performance cores...

Oppo A6 series to bring some surprises

Oppo's A5 family launched in China in December and March with the A5 and A5 Pro, and the company is already rumored to be working on the upcoming A6 series, which will allegedly bring about some interesting changes. While it's unclear how many devices it will comprise, there will be two new, or at least differently named models: the A6 GT and A6 Max. These are both said to target the CNY 1,000 or thereabouts market - that's approximately $139 or €119 at the current exchange rates. Oppo A5 Pro for China Despite the low price, we should apparently expect to see them sporting large...

Samsung wants to expand its phones' AI chops beyond Google's Gemini

Samsung's big AI push came with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series last year, and its Galaxy AI suite has expanded in features ever since, powered by Google's Gemini - for now, at least. Today, Choi Won-Joon, president and chief operating officer of Samsung's mobile division, has told Reuters that the company is very open to alternatives. But, of course, only those that can provide its users with the best experiences. Samsung is already in talks with both OpenAI and Perplexity to integrate their respective AI services into upcoming smartphones, most likely starting with the Galaxy S26...

Some of the GSMArena Android app users encountered a bug, do this if you are affected

TL;DR: Our mobile app started experiencing issues earlier this month. The bug was caused by a beta version of the Android System WebView component. This has been fixed in the latest version released by Google on the Play Store, v139.0.7258.51 from July 23. You can download it from this link. The first reports of the issues came after Android’s July 2025 Google System Update.

We reported the bug to Google, which promptly released a fixed version of the...

Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro to launch together, here's when

Realme launched the GT 7 Pro in China back in November of last year, and the non-Pro GT7 only in April. This strategy is set to change for their successors, however, if a new rumor from China pans out. According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, both the GT 8 and the GT 8 Pro will launch together in October. The Pro model is rumored to be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, which itself is launching in September. The Realme GT 8 Pro is also said to have competitive specs for its screen and battery, and a periscope telephoto camera. A previous leak said the handset...

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's battery to be bigger and charge faster

Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra is coming next year (most likely in January) and rumors are already swirling about it. Given how most of its Chinese competitors have recently upped the game significantly when it comes to battery capacity, you may have been wondering what to expect from the S26 Ultra. If a tipster on X is correct, then Samsung's next flagship device is going to have a bigger battery than its predecessor's. But not by much. The S26 Ultra is said to employ a 5,500 mAh cell, vs. the S25 Ultra's 5,000 mAh. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra That's still a 10% increase, but battery...

Upcoming Pixel Watch 4 to feature an updated charging dock

The upcoming Pixel Watch 4 will feature a new charger design for the series, according to the sources at Android Headlines. According to the latest report, the Pixel Watch 4 will need to be placed sideways into its charging dock. As we have seen from previous leaks, the new watch has a speaker and a docking mechanism on the side opposite to the crown. We can now assume that the new charger attaches into the two slots next to the speaker to charge the watch. The previous Pixel Watch models featured the charging connectors on the back of the watch. However, the leaked image for...

Xiaomi 15 Civi isn't coming, new report claims

Last year Xiaomi brought the Civi line into India with the Xiaomi 14 Civi, an upper-midrange smartphone that aimed to capture some of the magic of the Chinese Civi series, paired with a Leica-branded camera experience. How successful it was in doing that isn't clear, but if you've anxiously been waiting for its successor, we have some bad news. A new report claims the Xiaomi 15 Civi has been canceled. No reason is given, but obviously lackluster sales of the 14 Civi may be to blame. That model is in fact now heavily discounted. Xiaomi 14 Civi The Xiaomi 15 Civi was in fact in...

T-Mobile's T-Satellite service is now available to everyone

T-Mobile today announced the general availability of T-Satellite, its satellite communications service, to everyone, following months of testing with up to 30,000 daily active users. In total, 2 million people have already tried it in its testing phase. Interestingly, three times more messages were received on T-Satellite than were sent. T-Satellite uses more than 650 low-Earth orbit satellites to basically act like cell towers. T-Mobile bills this as "the largest satellite-to-mobile constellation". This works on over 60 phones with no apps required, both Android running ones and...

Galaxy S25 Edge teardown video compares it to the S25 Plus bit by bit

One could make an argument that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is a slimmed-down version of the Galaxy S25+, sans the telephoto camera. After all, the two devices share the same displays and roughly the same dimensions, with the S25 Edge being considerably thinner, of course. So it's easy to assume that the Galaxy S25 Edge is almost identical to the S25+ with some minor improvements to the chassis that bring down the overall weight. However, a recent side-by-side teardown video reveals much more. It turns out that Samsung was able to shave off a few grams from every component, not just...

Qi2 25W is official, promises hundreds of devices will support it

The Qi v2.2.1 standard now has a fancy marketing name: Qi2 25W. And as that name implies, this is a wireless charging spec that goes up to 25W. It was officially unveiled today by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). The WPC promises that "major Android smartphones" (whatever that means) are about to "join the Qi2 ecosystem for the first time with this launch", obviously in addition to Apple's iPhones. Fourteen devices, receivers and transmitters, completed Qi2 25W certification testing last week, and full-scale certification testing is now open to "several hundred devices waiting in...

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE in for review

This is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. It's on sale (ours shipped a few days earlier than the projected July 25th date), starting from €999, and you have a choice of Black and White. The Flip7 FE is nearly identical to the Galaxy Z Flip6, only it runs an in-house 4nm Exynos 2400 with 8GB of RAM. The older Flip6 packs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with 12GB of RAM. We'll run our own tests, but the Snapdragon will likely be a bit faster than the new Exynos. On the surface, the Flip7 FE doesn't seem like much of an upgrade, especially considering that you can find the Galaxy Z Flip6 with twice the...

Samsung Galaxy F56 gets disassembled on video

Samsung launched the Galaxy F56 back in May, and today the device is starring in a disassembly video. So if you've always wanted to take a look at its insides, this is definitely for you. It's not often that we get to see video teardowns of mid-rangers, so this should be interesting. [#InlinePriceWidget,13855,1#] As usual, we enter the phone through the back, removing the glass cover. Then it's a matter of unscrewing a lot of screws. The frame is plastic, the ports have rubber gaskets around them, and the battery comes off by removing a lot of adhesive. In the end, the F56...

Nothing is rumored to be working on a new type of smartphone

Nothing has recently launched the Phone (3), billed as its first proper flagship device, but the company is now rumored to be exploring new avenues. Namely, it's said to be adding 'Lite' or 'T' branded models to its lineup, as "Pro models are just not cutting it", according to an Indian leaker over on X. We're not sure which Pro models those are - the only recent Nothing handset with that branding is the Phone (3a) Pro, a mid-ranger that's better-specced than the non-Pro Phone (3a). Looks like Nothing could be adding 'Lite' or 'T' branded phones to their lineup..Pro models are just not...

Google Pixel 10 Pro's design officially revealed

Google will unveil the Pixel 10 series on August 20, which reportedly includes the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. We know what these phones look like since their leaked renders revealed their design, and ahead of the launch, Google decided to corroborate the design leak of the Pixel 10 Pro by dropping a 13-second clip on the Google Store in multiple regions. The teaser begins with a silhouette of the number 10, which transforms into a camera island and then a silhouette of the Google Pixel 10 Pro, followed by a complete reveal of the Pixel 10 Pro's rear...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 might have a downgraded hardware component

Samsung's just launched the Galaxy Z Fold7, which is its thinnest and lightest book-style foldable yet. Today in Samsung's home of Korea there are already rumors about its successor, the Galaxy Z Fold8, which, if nothing changes in Samsung's usual schedule, should be launching next July. The company is now said to be considering both titanium and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) for the backplate material for the Fold8. That's notable because the Fold7's predecessors from the Galaxy Z Fold3 onwards have used CFRP, but the Fold7 itself has switched to titanium, first seen in the...

Moto 360 (2025) smartwatch leaks in official-looking renders

Motorola is apparently working on a new smartwatch - meet the Moto 360 (2025). This has today been leaked in the renders you can see below, which show a stainless steel bracelet instead of the rubber strap we're used to seeing smartwatches in. That makes for a nice change of pace, but what's still a mystery here is whether this will run Wear OS or some proprietary OS. The source of this leak "expects" it to be the former, but that doesn't sound like a very convincing argument at this point. Moto 360 (2025) leaked renders The first Moto 360 came in 2014 and ran Android...

The vanilla Huawei Pura 80 pre-sales are starting on Wednesday, chipset leaks too

The vanilla Huawei Pura 80 is late to the party – the rest of the Pura 80 family launched in China in early June and even managed an international launch since then. The vanilla model is only now ready to go and will be available in China this Wednesday (July 23). Or maybe not even then, Huawei’s posts on Weibo talk of a pre-sale, suggesting that actual availability will come later. The posts mention school, so Huawei seems to be positioning this as a phone for students (school in China starts in early September). The Huawei Pura 80 is coming on Wednesday (July 23) The official...

WhatsApp working on a Quick Recap feature that will let you generate message summaries for multiple chats
