Purported list of the first devices getting Xiaomi HyperOS 2 internationally leaks

Xiaomi unveiled HyperOS 2 in China yesterday, and along with the new software came a list of devices that will be receiving it as an update and a rough timeline of when it will hit each model. Today a purported list of the first international devices to get HyperOS 2 has been leaked. Rather confusingly, the list says all these phones will get the new skin "by Q1 2025" - that may mean "before Q1 2025", in which case it's better phrased as "by the end of 2024", or it could also actually (perhaps more likely) mean by the end of Q1, which is March 31. In that case, there's definitely a...

Google Pixel 11a and Pixel Tablet 3 to have inferior chips compared to the flagship Pixels

According to a new rumor, Google will only launch a new Pixel tablet every two years. The Pixel Tablet 2 is thus coming in 2025, and the Pixel Tablet 3 in 2027. Also in 2027, the company will launch the affordable Pixel 11a. These two devices will theoretically use the same Tensor chip as the flagship Pixel line, but in practice things won't quite be identical. Google is allegedly going to fuse off defective parts of the TPU to save chips that normally would have to be discarded. These chips will then be used in the Pixel 11a and Pixel Tablet 3. Google Pixel 8a Thus, they could...

Google Pixel 9a battery capacity revealed by new rumor

Google's Pixel 9a is due to launch sooner than its predecessors according to past rumors, and today a new detail about it has been leaked. The phone will allegedly have a 5,000 mAh battery, which is bigger than the Pixel 8a's 4,492 mAh cell. This obviously means you should expect it to have better longevity than the Pixel 8a. Previous leaks also told us that the Pixel 9a will have a 48 MP main camera, perhaps borrowed from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Google's most expensive smartphone. The 13 MP ultrawide will stay the same, though. The Pixel 9a is expected to launch around mid-March,...

Huawei Mate 70 series to have familar camera design, leak reveals

Huawei is working on the Mate 70 devices, and a new leak just revealed what the phones will look loke from the back. According to a photo that claims to have the camera covers of all the phones, all Huawei Mate 70 versions will have four cameras in a square formation mounted on a circular or octagonal island. The lineup will include Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, and Mate 70 Pro+ with a circle, while the Mate 70 RS will be the fanciest device in the lineup.

Samsung to hold another developer conference in November, might show One UI 7.0

Samsung unveiled One UI 6 last year at the Samsung Developer Conference 2023 (SDC23). However, One UI 7 has been hit with a series of delays and won’t be out until next year, likely launching alongside the Galaxy S25 series. So, this year’s SDC focused on other things. But we still may get a peek at what Samsung is cooking – the company just announced that another SDC will be held later this year. Samsung Developer Conference Korea 2024 will be an online event on November 21. You can already sign up on the official site, if you are interested. There will be two keynote speeches and a total...

Here's when Apple Intelligence will finally arrive in the EU

Apple has now released iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, along with macOS Sequoia 15.1. The thing all of these software releases have in common is the presence of the first Apple Intelligence features. For now, these features can be accessed "in most regions around the world", Apple says, when the device and Siri language are set to US English. Those regions don't seem to include the EU, however - at least not for iOS and iPadOS. Apple says Mac users in the EU can access Apple Intelligence in US English with macOS Sequoia 15.1.

Google Pixel Watch 5 to have a custom Tensor chipset

Google's Pixel Watch 5 might get a custom Tensor chip, giving up on Qualcomm as a supplier. This makes sense since Google is also using Tensor chips for its Pixel smartphones, but interestingly the switch will only happen in 2026, so the Pixel Watch 4 will presumably still use a Qualcomm SoC. That said, the roadmap document that this leak is based on is itself from early 2023, which means a lot could have changed from then and up until now, keep that in mind. Google Pixel Watch 3 Now, this Tensor chip's CPU would have one Cortex-A78 core and two Cortex-A55 cores, according to the...

Indonesia bans sale and use of iPhone 16 series

The Indonesian government has effectively banned the sale and use of iPhone 16 series and Apple Watch 10 series devices in the country. The ban is a direct result of Apple's unmet investment commitments in the country, as Cupertino had previously pledged to invest upwards of IDR 1.71 trillion ($109 million) in local R&D facilities. If there is an iPhone 16 that can operate in Indonesia, that means that I can say the device is illegal. Do report it to us." - Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, Indonesia Industry Minister As per the latest figures, Apple has invested IDR 1.48 trillion ($95...

Weekly poll: Will Oppo Find X8 or Find X8 Pro be your next phone?

Things are heating up in the flagship space as Oppo unveiled the Find X8 series. These are flagships with a special focus on the camera (with help from Hasselblad). This year there is even a camera shutter key and the Alert slider is back (both on the Pro model only). The Oppo Find X8 Pro is not a direct sequel to the Find X7 Ultra (an X8 Ultra might arrive later on). So, instead of a curved display, it has an almost flat micro-quad-curved 6.78” LTPO panel (1264p+, 120Hz, 10-bit colors). It is powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset and an enormous 5,910mAh battery (with 80W wired and 50W...

Weekly poll results: vivo X200 Pro mini adored, X200 Pro also gets a warm welcome

Small-but-powerful phones tend to be quite popular on the Internet, even if “small” hasn’t been an accurate term in the last few years. And, boy, did vivo bring out one of the best small-but-powerful phones that we’ve seen yet. We’re talking about the vivo X200 Pro mini, of course. The phone received an overwhelmingly positive response that could become even more positive, if the mini passes reviews with flying colors. Some did find things to dislike about the mini – wishing for a 200MP sensor in the tele camera or not liking the optical fingerprint reader (the big Pro has an ultrasonic...

Samsung Galaxy A56 to bring an important camera upgrade

Samsung launched the Galaxy A55 back in March, and so it's clearly already hard at work on its successor, which we assume will arrive sometime during the first quarter of next year. Today, the Galaxy A56's camera details have been leaked and, as the saying goes, we have some good news and some bad news. Let's start with the good. The Galaxy A56 will get an upgraded selfie camera, most likely a 12 MP sensor, that will replace the 32 MP snapper that's been in use in the A5x line since the Galaxy A51 launched back in 2019. It's unclear whether the new camera will be identical to the...

Oppo introduced the Find X8 duo yesterday with impressive cameras and Dimensity 9400 chipsets. The event also saw the debut of the Pad 3 Pro tablet and Enco X3 TWS earphones.
