Up until now Xiaomi's flagship line comprised three devices - the vanilla, the Pro, and the Ultra, with the first two launching together in China in the fall, and the vanilla model getting its international launch in February alongside the Ultra. Things will change this year, however. Xiaomi is now rumored to be preparing an extra device in the 16 lineup. Thus, we'll get the vanilla option as usual, but it will launch in China next month alongside not one, but two Pro models. One of these will be smaller, with a 6.3" screen, the other larger, with a 6.8" panel. Today some details about the...
The Camera Control (don't call it a button) was triumphantly unveiled by Apple last year alongside the iPhone 16 family. It was an important part of the launch presentation, and even got its own ads. However, it seems like not many people are actually using it - at least that's what a new rumor on Weibo claims. Do however note that this information doesn't come from a source that has any sort of track record, so accuracy isn't a given. Anyway, the tipster in question claims Apple has found that almost no one uses the Camera Control. Thus, the iPhone 17 generation will be the last...

Almost three weeks after the release of One UI 8 beta 4, Samsung is now seeding the fifth, and quite possibly final, beta software to the Galaxy S25 series. Of course, we are just speculating, but it's safe to assume it's one of the last releases. One UI 8 beta 5 for Galaxy S25 changelog The changelog is almost entirely about bug fixes and optimizations, which is another reason why we think that this is probably the final update before the stable release. Samsung is probably done with implementing new features, so it's now squashing bugs to make the software ready for the...
Yesterday, a Reddit user uploaded a shot purportedly showing the unannounced Google Pixel 10 Pro XL's AnTuTu score next to the Pixel 9 Pro XL's. The next-gen phone managed a better score overall, but with some weird misses, most notably in the GPU department. Now, the same user has seemingly run Geekbench 6 on the same two devices, and you can see the results below. The Pixel 10 Pro XL manages a single-core score of 2,296 and a multi-core score of 6,203, versus its predecessor's 1,889 and 4,247, respectively. It is thus a massive improvement, especially in the multi-core score -...
