Earlier today the Realme 12 got official in India with the Dimensity 6100+ SoC at the helm and a INR 16,999 starting price. Not a lot of time passed after that and Himanshu Tandon, the country head of Poco India, called the Realme 12 out for using that chipset at that price, noting that Poco puts the Dimensity 6100+ in the M6, which is priced under INR 10,000. So he thinks everyone should wait for the Poco X6 Neo, as you can see from the post on X that's embedded below. The Poco X6 Neo leaked earlier this week and it's rumored to become official by next week, apparently. After seeing...
Google's Tensor G4 SoC is coming later this year to power the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and possibly even the Pixel Fold 2. A new report from Korea today corroborates an earlier rumor which said the G4 would be manufactured by Samsung's foundry. It will be using the 4nm process. The Tensor G4 will apparently have improved heat management, along with better performance and higher efficiency. So it looks like it will be a step up from the G3 in every way possible, which is definitely good news considering that the previous chipset didn't win any awards for, well, anything. Interestingly,...
To celebrate the Galaxy Ring having been showcased at MWC in Barcelona last week (albeit behind glass), Samsung has created a new infographic that takes us through the entire history of its wearable devices, up to and including the Galaxy Ring itself. As you can see, Samsung's wearable journey started all the way back in 1999 with the SPH-WP10, the world's first commercialized watch phone. The SPH-S100 that came one year after added text entry and voice dialing features, while 2003's Watch Phone had a color OLED display. Samsung didn't get into Bluetooth headsets until 2005, and it...
Yesterday Apple released iOS 17.4 (and iPadOS 17.4), the version which adheres to the EU's newly gone into effect Digital Markets Act (DMA), even if Apple's compliance seems to be incredibly begrudging and at times resentment-filled. You can tell from its press releases on the matter, and the theme continues today with a support document that outlines what happens if an EU citizen with access to a third party app store leaves the EU "for too long". You guessed it - no more access to the third party app store for you. In case you were wondering - what "too long" means in this context...

The OnePlus Ace 3V first appeared in the news cycle some months ago, but we still haven't seen anything substantial, aside from a couple of schematics and vague specs. It's speculated that the Ace 3V will be the Chinese version of the popular Nord 4 and will debut as early as this month. Now, we have what appears to be a live image of the OnePlus Ace 3V, confirming the previously suggested design. Alleged OnePlus 3V The Ace 3V's back design seems to be a major departure from the Ace 2V's design. It still has the vertical camera stack, but the camera rings are smaller and are...
Sick of bloatware? The upcoming Realme Narzo 70 Pro will have fewer pre-installed apps – to put a specific number on it, there will be 65% fewer pre-installed apps. In fact, this is such an important feature that Amazon India’s landing page for the phone advertises it at the very top. We hate bloatware and we know that you do too. Realme has listened to users and is making an attempt to cut that back. Additionally, Amazon and the Narzo team polled users and found that the Sony IMX890 is one of the most wished-for sensors – and that is exactly the sensor they picked for the...

The OnePlus 11 ushered in a new design language for the brand with its large circular camera island inspired by Swiss watches and classic sports cars. The camera island was then refined for the OnePlus 12 and even served as an inspiration for the OnePlus Watch 2. We now get our first render image of the upcoming OnePlus 13 which is rumored to take a different direction with its vertically aligned triple camera setup. OnePlus 13 render We’d advise you to hold off on jumping to conclusions as there is plenty of time before we see the OnePlus 13 in the flesh but it would make sense for...
