Xiaomi is rumored to be launching quite a few devices by the end of this month, including the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, which supposedly has a 9,000 mAh battery.

An unknown HMD phone has surfaced on Geekbench – it bears the code name “Pearl”. Pearl was running Android 15 on a Unisoc chip with just 4GB of RAM for the test. Which chip is that?

Mali-G57 is the GPU on both the T606 and the T7250. Geekbench 6.2.2 results: HMD Pearl (the HMD Pulse 2 Pro, perhaps?) By the way, the...

One of the most requested features is finally coming to Waze. We're talking about showing traffic lights. This has been a part of Google Maps for years now, and Google also owns Waze as you may know - but it's taken this long for Waze to start integrating traffic lights for some reason.

Interestingly, Waze will only show you a maximum of three traffic lights when in navigation mode, presumably to keep the UI from looking too cluttered. That said, if...
