Oppo Find X8 live photos leak again

As far as we currently know, the Find X8 pair should launch in China sometime in October. We already have a pretty good idea of what kind of specs to expect and we've even seen the vanilla Find X8 in the wild already. Now we have a couple of new real-world photos of the Oppo Find X8 in the wild, unfortunately, encased in a pretty thick case. Oppo Find X8 live photos Even so, we can see enough of the phone's design to reaffirm previous design leaks, like the extra-large camera island on the rear. We can also see that the case seems to have thorough cutouts for all of the mics...

ChatGPT now has 200 million weekly active users

It's hardly surprising that ChatGPT has managed to double its weekly active users since last November, given how much of a buzzword AI has been over the past year and the fact that ChatGPT is the most well known generative AI chatbot. The OpenAI service now boasts 200 million active users every week, up from 100 million in 2023. OpenAI also says 92% of Fortune 500 companies are using its products, while usage of its automated API has doubled since the release of GPT-4o Mini last month.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition to have S Pen support after all

Samsung's oft-rumored Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, known until very recently as Galaxy Z Fold Slim or Galaxy Z Fold Ultra, will actually have S Pen support, according to a new rumor today. This contradicts a previous rumor which claimed it wouldn't support Samsung's stylus. Of course, we can't vouch for the validity of either of these rumors, so do take both of them with a grain of salt. Also, keep in mind that supporting the S Pen, if it does pan out, won't mean that the phone will have a dedicated internal slot for the stylus, just that you will be able to use it on the device -...

Motorola Razr 50 lands in India on September 9

While the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra was launched in India last month, the 'vanilla' Razr 50 is yet to join it. That will, however, change early next month. Motorola has just announced that it's bringing the Razr 50 to India on September 9. It will be available from Motorola itself as well as Amazon. The marketing materials which are out so far emphasize the Razr 50's "segment's largest 3.6" external display", as well as the fact that you can use Google's Gemini on it.

Another Google Pixel 9 Pro XL video teardown confirms battery replacement woes

A few hours ago iFixit published its teardown video of the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and now the same phone has been subjected to a similar treatment by Zack at JerryRigEverything. The device is opened from the back using heat and isopropyl alcohol. From the get-go repairs seem slightly hindered by the use of less common screws in some parts. And there are also multiple sizes of screws, which can complicate the reassembly process even further. The battery removal process is quite bad, as has also been evidenced in the other video. The pull tab basically breaks without doing its job, so...

iPhone 17 to have 12GB of RAM, compared to only 8GB in the iPhone 16

Apple is announcing the iPhone 16 series on September 9, and a new rumor claims all four models will get 8GB of RAM. In contrast, the iPhone 17 family coming next year will jump to 12GB of RAM. That is a pretty significant jump and it's apparently all to do with AI - this time around the Apple Intelligence features will be mostly cloud-based, but once the iPhone 17 models launch, a lot more AI will be on-device, hence the need for more RAM. Google has already upped the RAM of its devices with the Pixel 9 family that launched earlier this month, and it's even using a chunk of RAM...

Xiaomi button-less smartphone to arrive next year

Xiaomi is allegedly working on a button-less smartphone, which it will launch in the first half of next year. It is apparently codenamed Zhuque, and its standout feature will obviously be its total lack of buttons. Unfortunately the source of this information doesn't actually know what will replace the buttons - so it could be combination of gesture controls, pressure-sensitive edges, or voice commands. The phone will also have an under-display selfie camera, which will hopefully be better than Samsung's efforts in this space. The Zhuque will be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8+...

Be warned: some Qi2 devices don't have magnets and it can be hard to tell

You know how Qi2 was touted as “MagSafe for Android”? Well, it turns out that is not the case. Qi2 (it’s pronounced “chee”) is split into two profiles and only one of them uses magnets. The Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) was contributed by Apple and is essentially MagSafe without the Apple trademark name. There is also Extended Power Profile (EPP), which is an improvement over the original Qi, but does not include magnets. There are ways to tell which devices support MPP and which do not, but it’s not easy. Early guidelines suggested that the Qi2 logo should be inside a circle if the...

Weekly poll results: the Pixel 9 Pro can be a breakout hit, but the whole series is too expensive

Last week’s poll shows that the new Pixel 9 Pro could prove to be a best-seller for Google. It received the most positive votes and on top of that it has the most potential to grow in popularity if it proves itself in reviews. It’s a great upgrade over the Pixel 8, though it does cost noticeably more too – concerns about the price are definitely reflected in the poll. On the plus side, Google has more or less covered all the markets that are interested in a Pixel phone, so availability is less of an issue. The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, the big dog of this generation, definitely feels...
