OnePlus has been investing a lot in camera capabilities in the past few years, aiming to rectify what had traditionally been one of the biggest gripes people had with its phones before - image quality. Now, it's going to take things to another level, according to a new rumor. OnePlus is allegedly working on its first self-developed "Image Engine", which is described as "a proprietary platform built to take full control of photo and video processing". This is said to contain advanced image algorithms to better handle low-light detail, skin tone accuracy, and dynamic range "in ways...
Apple's first foldable-display iPhone, which we're calling iPhone Fold for the sake of simplicity, is widely rumored to be coming in late 2026, after many, many years of rumors and speculation about it. When it does arrive, it won't have an in-display fingerprint scanner, according to renowned purveyor of Apple-related supply chain information Ming-Chi Kuo. Six months ago, I predicted the foldable iPhone would use side-button Touch ID. There are now market rumors that it will adopt an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, but I think that’s unlikely. It’s expected that Luxshare...
The Y-series devices are vivo’s best-sellers in China, and the brand-new Y500 has finally made its debut. The new device continues the trend of Chinese midrangers with massive battery capacity as it gets a gargantuan 8,200mAh (!) cell. That’s not the only new addition, as the phone is now IP68/IP69 rated against water and dust, and it also gets updated to the Dimensity 7300 chip. Getting the chip and battery upgrade is one thing but vivo claims the Y500 is also superior in terms of durability. The phone can handle water submersions at 1.5-meter depths for over 24 hours, pressurized...
Realme launched the Watch 3 in 2022, and it's been missing a successor ever since. That will, however, change soon, if a new rumor is to be believed.

Last year’s Xiaomi 15 series made its debut in October with the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro and according to leaks the 16 series will arrive earlier than that. A new post by Digital Chat Station reveals that the Xiaomi 16 models will launch in the second-to-last week of September.

Xiaomi 16 leaked illustrative render Based on the most recent...
Like previous generations, the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL will receive 7 major OS updates, meaning that support will end in 2032 with Android 23. That’s great for the software, but will the hardware live that long? The best way to find out is to wait and see – the second best (and much faster) way is to watch Zack from JerryRigEverything try to snap the phone in half. The 10-series supports the magnetic profile of Qi2, meaning that the phone has magnets built into the back – they are arranged in a big circle to hold accessories and there is an extra magnet under that for alignment. Zack uses a...
