Here we go again – the newly-launched Honor Magic8 Pro will have different battery capacities in different regions.

This is the Realme GT 8 Pro and it's coming to the global stage on November 20. But we have it already at HQ and can show you the design of the phone up close. Which is perfect, because the design is this phone's strongest asset. Realme went with a swappable camera bump design, giving you a choice of not just form, but also finish and color. The camera bump can either be a rectangle or a circle and in different looks as well - like a robot. Or, technically, you can leave the phone without a camera bump, defaulting to a car-without-a-bumper-kind-of-look. Realme sent us all seven...

Interestingly, Samsung seems to be working on letting you navigate the headset's UI by using the Galaxy Ring. A string of code in the latest update to the Galaxy Ring Manager app for Android reveals an upcoming "ring gesture for glasses". Of course, since the word "glasses" is used, this may not be intended specifically for the Galaxy XR headset, but for future Galaxy XR glasses. Still, it's interesting to see that something like this is in development to...
The Xiaomi 15 launched in China at the end of October last year. It then made its way to global markets in February when the Xiaomi 15 Ultra was also introduced. This year, however, things were quite different, with the 17 getting an earlier launch in September in China. That left us wondering whether the Xiaomi 17 Ultra would only arrive in February again. Apparently, the answer to that is no. According to the prolific leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will be made official in China in December. This might mean that it will only be launching in China at...
