According to a well-known tipster, it will be unveiled on October 29, and its specs are identical to those of the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. As you can see below, the image shows the back of the W27. It's dark blue, with gold accents on the frame and the camera island, and the W series' gold seal logo near the bottom.

<img src="https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/26/10/apple-iphone-duo-2-prototype-key-upgrade/-184x111/gsmarena_000.jpg" width="184" height="111" hspace="3" alt="" border="0" align=left style="background:#333333;padding:0px;margin:0px 4px 0px 0px;border-style:solid;border-color:#aaaaaa;border-width:1px" /> <p>The iPhone Duo is now slowly making its way to users who placed their pre-orders last week and the first round of reviews are already out. The consensus is that it suffers from typical first-gen product shortcomings and most reviewers are not too fond of the Touch ID sensor. Depending on the orientation that you’re holding the device, it can be hard to reach and it also requires you to hold your finger on the sensor to fully unlock the phone. It’s safe to say that Face ID is a highly requested feature for the Duo’s successor and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has already confirmed that Apple...</p> October 23, 2026 at 03:41AMvia GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/QxLpwya

Now, a new report claims Apple has responded by raising its iPhone Duo shipment target by 44%.

Today, the iQOO 16R has received its first certification, showing up in Indonesia's TKDN database with the model number I2606. The listing confirms the iQOO branding and 5G support. The same model number was spotted in the GSM Association’s IMEI database back in early September, which is where the iQOO 16R name first surfaced.

Since then, the company has introduced the nubia A76 4G and the nubia A77 4G. Now it’s time to say hello to the nubia A76! Wait, what? Okay, this is another case of overlapping names because this A76 and the old A76 are not the same. The new ZTE nubia A76 4G features a 6.75” display – it only has 720p+ resolution and runs at only 90Hz, but it’s better than what the other A76 has (6.5” 720p+ 60Hz).

Now, Digital Chat Station on Weibo says a Turbo Pro is on the way too, and it should arrive around the end of the year. The tipster's post has since been edited to just say "good morning", which tends to happen when a brand isn't happy with what he reveals. The Turbo Pro will allegedly come with a 6.78-inch flat 1.5K screen with a 185Hz refresh rate, the 3nm Qualcomm SM8845 Pro chipset, a 200MP main camera with a large sensor, and a battery of at least...</p> October 22, 2026 at 03:33AMvia GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/VXsSjgU

Apple caps iPhone Duo purchases at two per person in an attempt to tackle scalpers

With every product in extremely high demand and low on stock, scalpers gather and try to buy the item in large quantities and then sell it at an inflated price. That's why Apple now imposes a limit of two iPhone Duos per customer. The limit has so far been confirmed in the US, UK, Japan and Spain, but it's likely worldwide. There are already some eBay listings selling the iPhone Duo at an eye-watering $5,000.

There's a teaser microsite up on Amazon India for the upcoming Karbonn Rebel 5G. Unfortunately, the page doesn’t reveal any specs right now, but it does say things like "status isn't a specification", "style that stands out", "all of the phone, none of the price shock", and "don't follow, just rebel".

I know, I know, we're a little late with this one. Okay, maybe a lot late, but in our defense, some of that tardiness comes from battery testing a watch with more than a month's worth of endurance .(or so Honor promised). That may be the Honor Watch 6's key selling point, and for good reason: charging your smartwatch once a month is about as close to having a regular watch as you can get. But I'm here to tell you that there's more to the Honor Watch 6 than simply its huge battery. It's what a watch needs to be.

That's a question that would keep many companies awake at night. But almost a decade after the original launched, Apple has kept the classic AirPods model relevant while turning it into one of the most profitable businesses ever. The 2026 AirPods 5 keep what people love while improving everything across the board. Better noise cancellation, better audio quality, better battery life, and even better gestures.

An adjustable aperture has been an invaluable tool for photographers on professional and prosumer camera systems, and its absence from mobile cameras has become increasingly conspicuous as everything else on these devices has leveled up. There have been a handful of phones over the years that featured a variable aperture system for their main camera.
