According to a new rumor out of China today, the iQOO Neo11 Pro will be the first device to use MediaTek's upcoming Dimensity 9400+ SoC. The phone will have an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor too, and of course a very good price, iQOO's specialty. The iQOO Neo10 Pro was only launched back in November, and its successor could already be showing up in April. That's some quick turnaround, but it's unclear what other upgrades the Neo11 Pro will pack compared to the Neo10 Pro - maybe it's just a case of updating the chipset and calling it a day, which is also what vivo is rumored to be doing with...
A couple of weeks or so ago the first renders leaked depicting the upcoming Motorola Razr 60 Ultra, which is going to be called Razr+ 2025 in North America. Today we have a new set, this time showing the device in Rio Red. It's an interesting shade of red and not very bright, as you can see. The fake leather on the back is present, just as it was in the dark green colored unit that leaked earlier this month. These new renders show the handset from all possible angles, from which we can gawk at its very similar design to its predecessor from last year. Unlike its predecessor,...

Samsung has already been rumored to get into the tri-fold action, following in the footsteps of Huawei but going its own way with a different type of tri-fold, one that resembles a G shape versus Huawei's Z style. Samsung's rumored solution has the advantage that, when the device is folded, the folding screen isn't exposed at all, whereas on the Huawei Mate XT it is. The disadvantage of Samsung's solution is that it needs a secondary cover screen. A new rumor from Korea today claims Samsung will launch the tri-fold device alongside the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7, presumably...
Huawei definitely isn't one to shy away from trying crazy things (the Mate XT stands as most recent proof), and according to a new rumor out of China, the company is getting ready to do something special again. The upcoming Huawei Pocket 3 is said to have a 3:2 aspect ratio when unfolded. That's the same aspect ratio used by Apple in the iPad mini, which has an 8.3" screen. The Pocket 3's display will be 6.3", so, when it's unfolded, it should pretty much look like a smaller iPad mini. Huawei Pocket 2 The device's cover screen is said to be 3.5", and it's still unclear what aspect...
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7 in July or thereabouts, and today we have the first ever set of leaked renders purportedly depicting the upcoming foldable device. These are CAD-based, so minor details could still change, but they should give us a good overall look at what Samsung is currently cooking. And it seems like the Korean company has finally decided to pay some attention to the recent trend of foldables getting thinner and thinner. This has been started by its Chinese competitors, and Oppo's recently unveiled Find N5 currently holds the title of world's thinnest...
This is the Oppo Reno13 Pro. We had a quick hands-on with the phone, but it's now in the office and in our review queue. Here it is sized up against its smaller counterpart, the Reno13. The pair shares a few main specs - the 4nm Dimensity 8350 SoC, the IP68/IP69 certification, the 50MP 21mm selfie camera with autofocus, and the 80W charging. Where they differ is in the batteries - 5,800mAh on the Pro, 5,600mAh on the 13 - as well as the charging - the Pro adds 50W wireless charging. The Reno13 Pro also brings a bigger sensor main camera and a dedicated 85mm zoom camera. Oppo...

Apple Intelligence already has support for ChatGPT, and now it looks like Apple is hard at work on integrating Google's Gemini as well. This will be coming at some point in the future. In a backend update pushed along with the iOS 18.4 beta, there are now both "OpenAI" and "Google" options for third-party models within Apple Intelligence. So the work is currently being done, but of course there's no telling when the feature will actually roll out to the public. Apple's backend has revealed that the next 3rd party iOS-AI integration will be Google Gemini pic.twitter.com/0rIuJhT5Lj— Aaron...
Google's Pixel 9a just can't stop leaking ahead of its rumored unveiling next month. Today we have a short hands-on video showing off its lack of camera bump. We can see the phone in its Obsidian colorway here, which to us mere non-Google mortals is just black. The Pixel 9a's very tiny camera bump (tiny in thickness, we mean) is also clearly visible, signifying two things - this won't be the thinnest phone around by any stretch of the imagination, and it won't have top tier camera sensors which require much larger camera humps. The Pixel 9a is rumored to be unveiled on...
