The brand new vivo X Fold3 Pro is the sleekest new foldable to launch in China and word is that we may see it in other markets soon. If you were wondering just how vivo managed to accomplish its impressively thin and light appearance then the new teardown video from WekiHome is an interesting watch. As usual, the teardown begins by powering off the device and removing the SIM card slot which is impressively thin on the X Fold3 Pro. Applying heat to the sides and some force with a pick pops off the back cover which is also quite thin but the host details that it is made from a...

We’ve known for a while that the Poco F6 will probably be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, but now there is proof – found inside the HyperOS source code by the Android Headlines team. The Poco F6, code name “Peridot” (and model number N16T), will follow in the path of the recent Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, which was the first phone with the 8s Gen 3. However, the Poco might be based on a different Xiaomi model, the Redmi Note 13 Turbo (which is yet to be unveiled). The 8s Gen 3 is an interesting mix of 8 Gen 2 and 8 Gen 3 design, though in some ways it is less powerful than either (e.g....

Samsung's foldable smartphones are some of the slowest in the industry in terms of charging speeds, and that likely will stay the same with the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 since both got certified by 3C with a 25W charger. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 (SM-F9560) and Galaxy Z Flip6 (SM-F7410) are listed on 3C's website with the EP-TA800 charger supporting up to 25W charging, which is the same as the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5 as well as the Galaxy S24 (S24+ and S24 Ultra go up to 45W). Of course, just because the 3C listing for both foldables mentions a 25W charger doesn't mean...
Xiaomi is expected to launch the Redmi Note 13 Turbo in China with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. So far we've heard only rumors, including that it might go international as Poco F6, but a few leaked images today let us put a face to the name. Thomas Wang, General Manager of the Redmi brand, talked about the Xiaomi legacy of powerful and relatively affordable smartphones. He showcased a new device, saying it has an “attractive front side” and we believe the phone to be the unreleased Note 13 Turbo. Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Turbo/Poco F6 The phone was seen in a short video posted on...
It might finally be time for vivo to launch foldable devices outside of China. Following a few releases that have unfortunately been confined to its homeland, it now seems like vivo could have had a change of heart, starting with the just-unveiled X Fold3 Pro. While the company itself hasn't said anything on the matter just yet, the X Fold3 Pro has been certified in Indonesia. This is a usual step before sales commence in the country - hence why it's easy to speculate that this means the X Fold3 Pro will make it to countries other than China. It would definitely be a welcome...
