iPhone 17 Slim specs leak claims it will only have one rear camera

For a while now, Apple has been rumored to discontinue the iPhone Plus model starting next year, and replace it with a tentatively called iPhone 17 Slim. As the name implies, this should be record-breakingly thin (at least for an iPhone), in the same way as Apple's latest iPad Pro is its thinnest tablet ever. Today some more details about the iPhone 17 Slim have been leaked by Ming-Chi Kuo, longtime industry analyst and purveyor of Apple-related rumors. He claims the iPhone Plus currently makes up only about 5% to 10% of iPhone shipments, and that's why it's getting the axe. The...

Spotify confirms $18 Deluxe plan is coming

Spotify has been rumored to introduce an even more expensive plan than its Premium one for literally years at this point. This has sometimes been referred to as "supremium", a plan which would introduce higher quality streaming. We've heard about it last year, and again this April. Now it's been officially confirmed by the company during its latest earnings call. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said the company plans on offering such a plan, which is right now still in "early days". Here's how Ek describes it: It’s probably around a $17 or $18 price point, but sort of a deluxe version of Spotify...

Motorola teases "world's slimmest military grade phone"

Motorola is teasing a new smartphone that it's going to be launching in India soon. According to the brand, this will be the world's slimmest "military grade phone" - meaning the thinnest handset to have a MIL-STD-810 certification for ruggedness. It will be offered by Flipkart, and will be protected against accidental drops, shakes, extreme heat, extreme cold, and humidity.

Honor X60i leaks in all colors

Last week the upcoming Honor X60i leaked in one color, courtesy of a listing by China Telecom, which also revealed its specs. Today, prolific Chinese leakster Digital Chat Station has shared an image containing renders of the Honor X60i in all of its colorways. The phone is said to be the first in the Honor X60 series, so it will probably be joined by an X60 and X60 Pro, if not also an X60 GT - we base this assumption on the fact that the Honor X50 family has a 'vanilla' member, along with the X50 Pro and X50 GT. The Honor X60i will have a 6.7-inch FHD+ LCD screen, a 50 MP main rear...

Weekly poll: is the HMD Skyline your next phone?

The HMD Skyline has attracted a lot of attention. What is it – is it nostalgia for the Nokia N9? Or is it the repairability angle that draws people in? The phone is now available in some countries (on pre-order in others), so we have to ask – will you buy one? The design feels quite fresh – we’ve seen all the rounded rectangles that we can handle – and the comparison with the N9 is a positive one, for those who remember the MeeGo phone. However, instead of polycarbonate, this one uses a modern metal-and-glass construction. The phone is designed to be easily repaired at home by non-pros....

Weekly poll results: the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 are too pricey

Samsung’s latest foldables were met with criticism in last week’s poll – the two main points were the price and the hardware. Samsung is not seen as the leader of the foldable market, not in terms of offering cutting edge technology. Both the Galaxy Z Flip6 and the Z Fold6 feel more like iterative improvements over previous models than a new generation, according to commenters. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 is too expensive with a whopping 45% of voters shaking their heads at the price tag. As for the hardware, in our review, we noted that charging is somehow even slower than the already slow...

Deals: the HMD Skyline goes on pre-order, Realme GT 6 and GT 6T keep their prices low

HMD may have struck gold with the Skyline – the phone’s design mixes nostalgia for the Nokia N9 with a bold Neon Pink hero color and the repairability angle (while not unique) does earn some brownie points. The phone is surprisingly capable – the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is by far the most powerful chip inside an HMD phone. Admittedly, the competition is the Snapdragon 695 and some Unisocs, but we’re glad to see that HMD is finally moving to better chips. The phone’s 6.55” display is a 144Hz OLED (FHD+) and features a 50MP selfie camera on top. On the rear, a 108MP main (OIS), 50MP 2x tele and...
