The Samsung Galaxy M55s first surfaced in July when it received its Wi-Fi Alliance certification, and then last month it ran Geekbench revealing its Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset. Today, renders showing the upcoming phone have been leaked and they portray a very unique design with (as far as we can tell) no less than three different textures on the (seemingly plastic) back. Not even the top of the line Galaxy S24 Ultra can boast something like that, so this is intriguing to say the least. The Galaxy M55s is expected to be very similar to the already available M55 and F55 in terms of...
The HMD Fusion was unveiled earlier this month, and now it's become available to purchase from HMD itself in Europe. You'll have to pay €269.99 to get it with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, or €299.99 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The phone's main selling point is its modular design - it has so called Fusion outfits, basically interchangeable covers that can add features like wireless charging, more rugged protection, a ring light, that sort of thing. HMD is certainly not the first company to try its hand at the modular (or rather, in this case, more like modular-ish)...
Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra has appeared in some leaked renders yesterday, and now it's been spotted in the 3C certification database. This reveals that the phone will support a maximum of 45W wired charging, which is hardly surprising. It will also, perhaps more interestingly, support satellite connectivity in the SM-S9380 iteration that should be headed to China. It's unclear if all the various regional variations will get it too. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to measure 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2mm and weigh 219g. It will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, paired with...
It wasn’t that long ago that foldables were just concept devices, but now they are relatively common. And some manufacturers are already looking at the next stage of their evolution – more folds! The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate tri-foldable was introduced yesterday and it is practically a 10” tablet that fits in your pocket. Is it too big? Well, early hands-on reports from China are in and the answer is that it’s big, but not unmanageably big. The XT is made up of three segments that can be folded out in stages. The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate measures 12.8mm thick The first stage is...
We've already looked at the Google Pixel 9 and the 9 Pro XL which stand at the two ends of the spectrum in the new Pixel 9 lineup. Now it's time to also take a deep dive into the Pixel 9 Pro. As the name suggests, it delivers all of the "Pro" features without the "XL" size. Left: Pixel 9 Pro • Right: Pixel 9 Pro XL Honestly, we are kind of amazed that Google managed to fit so much more hardware inside what is basically the same footprint as the regular Pixel 9. The Pixel 9 Pro has the exact same dimensions as its non-Pro sibling at 152.8 x 72 x 8.5 mm. That is quite compact by...
Huawei launched Mate XT Ultimate, the first tri-fold smartphone, but one key detail remained a mystery: the chipset. While the company has not officially commented on the SoC powering its devices, a hands-on from the launch event in China revealed that the tri-fold is equipped with the Kirin 9010. The chipset features an 8-core CPU consisting of 1x 2.3 GHz Taishan Big core, 3x 2.18 GHz Taishan Mid cores, and 4x 1.55 GHz Cortex-A510 cores, paired with a Maleoon 910 MP4 GPU. The 12-thread 8-core Kirin 9010 chipset Manufactured by SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International...
Starting next month, users of compatible iPhones will be able to test the beta release of Apple Intelligence features, which will become public as part of the expected iOS 18.1 update. Unless they live in the EU or China – Apple confirmed the initial reports that none of the new AI features will be available in those regions - at least not this year. First off, let's look at which devices qualify. Due to NPU performance and RAM requirements, only the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max from the older models are supported, but all new models (iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max) are...
Last month, Honor rolled out a software update for the Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro in India with the call recording feature. Now, the brand has released the MR2 update for both smartphones with new AI features. First is AI Eraser, powered by Google Cloud's generative AI, and second is Face-to-Face Translation, which provides real-time translation in multiple languages. Honor 200 • Honor 200 Pro Additionally, the MR2 update bumps up the Android security patch level on the Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro to September 2024. You can check the changelog below for more details. ...
The OnePlus 13 is expected to arrive in October, and the phone was just benchmarked on CPU-benchmark Geekbench, shedding more light on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip that will power the flagship. According to the listing, it will reach over 10,000 pts in multi-core score and will have two core clusters – 2x 4.32 GHz + 6x 3.53 GHz. These numbers sound crazy high, even if we take into account the new SoC will be built on TSMC's smalles and most power-efficient 3 nm process technology. There is a high chance that these numbers are misrepresented or plain wronng because such clock rates would...
