iPhone 18 Pro rear design now rumored to go in a different direction

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to arrive in September 2026, alongside the iPhone Fold, and the Pro duo has recently been rumored to be getting a transparent design under its camera island - which will remain very similar to the design introduced with the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max this year. Now, a new rumor out of China contradicts this by saying that Apple is working on perfectly matching the color of the aluminum with the color of the glass cutout in the lower part of the back of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. In the current generation, there are subtle...

Realme GT 8 Pro's pricing in Europe leaks along with the release date

The Realme GT 8 Pro launched in China last month, and will make its international debut on November 20. Ahead of that, today purported pricing for Europe has been leaked. The device will allegedly start at €1,099 / £999 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There will also be a model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, and this one will go for €1,199 / £1,099.

The Vision AI Companion on 2025 Samsung TVs can answer questions and translate dialog

Samsung’s 2025 TVs in the Neo QLED, Micro RGB, OLED and QLED series feature a new conversational AI – the Samsung Vision AI Companion. Samsung says that unlike a typical AI assistant, which is designed to be used on individual devices, this AI is “purpose-built for the communal screen”. In other words, you use your phone by yourself, while the TV can be used by multiple people at once. The Vision AI Companion has a Live Translate mode – this is a real-time translation of dialog in TVs and movies. This allows you to watch content in your own language, even if there is no...

Samsung Galaxy S26+ CAD-based renders leak

Samsung's Galaxy S26+ is back on track, after allegedly having been initially scrapped in favor of the Galaxy S26 Edge. Now that device's release is in question, though if it does arrive, it will probably be later than the rest of the family. Today, CAD-based renders of the Galaxy S26+ have been outed, along with the phone's dimensions. Let's start there. It measures 158.4 x 75.7 x 7.35 mm. That makes it the same height, and marginally narrower and thicker than its predecessor, but we are talking fractions of a millimeter here, so for all intents and purposes it will feel identical in...

The image sensor competition is on: LOFIC sensors will see wider adoption starting in 2026

According to Digital Chat Station, LOFIC image sensors are about to gain wider adoption as smartphone makers and image sensor makers are gearing up for competition. A partnership between OmniVision and vivo will produce results soon, according to DCS, but he didn’t name model names. Other sensor makers are working on LOFIC designs too. LOFIC stands for Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor – it’s a capacitor that takes in the charge that goes over the photodiode’s full well capacity. This enables things like single-exposure HDR and longer exposures. We’ve already seen a LOFIC sensor...

The OnePlus 15 just retained its crown as the most popular smartphone in our database in week 45. After shooting to the top last week, it faced a challenge from the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, but managed to narrowly edge it. The podium is completed by the ever-popular Samsung mid-ranger Galaxy A56.

We took the Oppo Find X9 Pro to the Día de los Muertos in Mexico

Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a big thing in Mexico. Deservedly making the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, it is a huge fest, paying respects to the dead by celebrating instead of mourning. We were lucky enough to be invited by Oppo alongside some other media to see the spectacle up close, and we took the Oppo Find X9 Pro to capture the entire thing. There aren't many other smartphones on the planet that can match Oppo's finest in a camera test, so we were pretty confident in our choice. The Oppo Find X9 Pro has a solid camera system on the back. Its...

Deals: the iPhone Air is €200 off, Xiaomi, Poco and Google phones also get price cuts

Analysts think that the iPhone Air is not doing as well as Apple may have hoped – this may be why we see it discounted fairly often. And here it is again. Apple is trying to kickstart a new trend with the iPhone Air – it measures only 5.6mm thick and weighs only 165g and that makes it feel special when you hold it in your hand. It’s a shame that beyond being thin and light, the phone isn’t all that good at anything. It has a 6.5” LTPO OLED display, a single 48MP camera and a small 3,149mAh battery with wired and wireless charging. Right now, it’s €200 off its regular price. ...

Weekly poll: would you buy the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite?

Nothing is breaking out of its mid-range shell – it went from launching its first flagship to its first entry-level phone in quick succession. But now there is an awkward clash with the CMF brand, which was supposed to be Nothing’s entry-level lineup. Based on its name, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is a dialed back, cheaper version of the Nothing Phone (3a). And there are certainly similarities, the phone is even closer to the CMF Phone 2 Pro. In fact, it is below the CMF model as it lacks the 50MP 2x/50mm telephoto camera while offering no advantage of its own to make up for...

Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo Pro review

The open wearable stereo (OWS) market gained serious traction over the last two years, and just about every brand has its own entry now. While traditional earbuds come with the tried and tested plug form factor, which sits inside your ear, the OWS models position their drivers right at the tip of your ear canal. The result is raised awareness of your surroundings at the cost of subpar passive isolation. OpenWear Stereo Pro is the latest offering from Xiaomi, and it aims to one-up its competitors by offering a more premium build while still retaining its open-fit system. Xiaomi is...

Xiaomi 15T vs. 15T Pro

Xiaomi's sub-flagship lineup is back for another year and you might be wondering whether the Xiaomi 15T is good enough or whether the Xiaomi 15T Pro's camera prowess and stronger chipset are convincing enough to deserve its price premium. As it currently stands, the Xiaomi 15T Pro is asking around €150-200 more than its sibling, and unlike in older generations, there are plenty of differences to go through. Some are subtle, others are not. With this year's upgrade to the 15T Pro, the handset feels closer to being a true flagship, while the 15T remains a solid, mid-range all-rounder. So...

Poco Pad M1 runs Geekbench AI, has its specs leaked

Back in October, the upcoming Poco Pad M1 got certified, and today it's been spotted in the Geekbench AI database. This has revealed the fact that it's powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM. The prototype which ran the benchmark booted Android 15, which means the finalized product may unfortunately do too, even though Android 16 has been out since June. Now, if you're wondering what to expect from this tablet regarding the rest of its specs, a tipster on X reiterates the previously rumored fact that it will just be a rebranded Redmi Pad 2 Pro. That tablet...

Entire iPhone 18 lineup to get upgraded selfie cameras, new report claims

A few hours ago we heard that the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max would come with a smaller hole punch for their selfie cameras, which, according to past rumors, would be paired with under-display Face ID tech. Now a new report from analysts at JP Morgan claims that all iPhone 18 models will also get a 24MP selfie camera. That's a bump up in resolution from the current generation's 18MP shooter. Interestingly, the 24MP selfie camera was previously rumored for the iPhone 17 lineup, but didn't happen - and now it seems like it just got postponed to next year. The iPhone Fold will even...
