Realme announced its 14 Pro+ and 14 Pro smartphones today, although the company left most of the specs out. It did confirm they will feature a cold-sensitive color-changing panel and revealed their designs. The 14 Pro+ will feature a triple camera on its back, while the 14 Pro will have dual shooters. We can also see a new triple-flash system for night-time portraits, and Realme is calling the feature MagicGlow. The panel was designed in collaboration with Valeur Designers, and it reacts to colder temperatures, unlike previous color-changing solutions, which changed colors when...

OnePlus will release the Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro on December 26. The brand revealed the date after the phones were listed at the Oppo Store in China.

The Redmi Turbo 3 launched internationally as the Poco F6, which made us think that the upcoming Redmi Turbo 4 would be sold globally as the Poco F7, and we reported as much yesterday when an image purportedly depicting the Redmi Turbo 3 got leaked in China. However, today a new rumor from a different source claims the Redmi Turbo 4 will actually be sold internationally as the Poco X7 Pro. And we have to say, the leaked Poco X7 Pro renders from a few days ago do seem to lend credence to this theory, as the rear design - especially the camera placement - does seem identical. Poco X7 Pro...

Following the leaked hands-on images from yesterday, today we get a couple more leaked renders purportedly showing the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25+. And, for good measure, they are accompanied by a couple of renders of the Galaxy S25 Ultra as well. These come from Evan Blass aka @evleaks, the legendary leakster who started it all. Intriguingly, he has a couple more posts on X which have had their images removed "in response to a report from the copyright holder". Samsung Galaxy S25+ leaked renders While not outright saying it, he strongly hints these were also of Samsung's...

OnePlus is holding an international launch event on January 7, when it will announce the OnePlus 13 for global markets. The company has also confirmed that the OnePlus 13R will be joining it and shared the image you can see below. Long believed to be a mere rebranding of the upcoming OnePlus Ace 5 for China, the OnePlus 13R will differ from that model in at least one area - battery capacity (that is, if the leaks we've seen so far about the Ace 5 have been accurate). OnePlus 13 (left), OnePlus 13R (center), OnePlus Buds Pro 3 in Sapphire Blue (right) OnePlus says the 13R will have...

Here we go again – ZTE publishes certification documents on its site, even for phones it is yet to officially unveil. The latest model to break cover is the nubia Focus 2 5G (model number Z2462N). The original Focus launched earlier this year and it was an interesting device – a cheap phone with a 108MP camera and a 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging. There was a Focus Pro model that bumped up the screen from 6.56” HD+ to 6.72” FHD+ (IPS LCD in both cases), added OIS to the 108MP camera and included a 5MP ultra-wide. We don’t know much about the Focus 2, but the EU Declaration of...

A recent supply chain leak gave us our first look at the chassis of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro with a Pixel-like camera visor. We have a new report out of China from leakster InstantDigital, which claims that won’t be the final design, and we’ll see a return of the familiar triangular camera setup. The new rumor claims the backs of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will feature a different look, but it won’t involve the camera island.
