A user on Xiaomi's Feedback app received interesting information regarding Xiaomi's plans regarding HyperOS. Turns out, the company has officially ended the development of HyperOS 2 and is redirecting all of its resources to HyperOS 3. It looks like Xiaomi is done with HyperOS 2 as all phones entitled to the OS update received it, so it's time to focus solely on bringing HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, on time. Additionally, a member from the developer team clarified that users should not expect any more HyperOS 2 improvement updates. Instead, the company will focus on addressing...
Samsung announced the Exynos 2500 SoC last month, which is used in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 that went on sale yesterday. The Korean brand hasn't revealed anything about the Exynos 2600 SoC yet, but thanks to Geekbench, we know what to expect from Samsung's next flagship chip. A Samsung engineering device with model designation S5E9965 has been spotted on Geekbench with the Exynos 2600 chip. It's a deca-core CPU, similar to the Exynos 2500, but with a different arrangement. We are looking at a 1+3+6 configuration, having a single prime core clocked at 3.55 GHz, three performance cores...

Oppo's A5 family launched in China in December and March with the A5 and A5 Pro, and the company is already rumored to be working on the upcoming A6 series, which will allegedly bring about some interesting changes. While it's unclear how many devices it will comprise, there will be two new, or at least differently named models: the A6 GT and A6 Max. These are both said to target the CNY 1,000 or thereabouts market - that's approximately $139 or €119 at the current exchange rates. Oppo A5 Pro for China Despite the low price, we should apparently expect to see them sporting large...
Samsung's big AI push came with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series last year, and its Galaxy AI suite has expanded in features ever since, powered by Google's Gemini - for now, at least. Today, Choi Won-Joon, president and chief operating officer of Samsung's mobile division, has told Reuters that the company is very open to alternatives. But, of course, only those that can provide its users with the best experiences. Samsung is already in talks with both OpenAI and Perplexity to integrate their respective AI services into upcoming smartphones, most likely starting with the Galaxy S26...
Oppo initially launched the Reno14 and Reno14 Pro in May, then in June they became available outside of China and a new member joined the family: the Reno14 F. Now Oppo is apparently getting ready to expand the lineup even more, with the Reno14 FS which got leaked today. This model is slated to be an upgraded version of the Reno14 F, with more storage and memory. It's said to come with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC at the helm, paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. On the back there's a triple camera system, with a 50 MP main camera using Sony's IMX882 sensor, an 8 MP...
Huawei launched the Mate XT, the first tri-fold smartphone in the world, last September, and we're now only a few weeks away from its one-year anniversary. To mark that occasion, Huawei is rumored to launch a new and improved tri-fold smartphone, that we initially assumed would be called Mate XT 2. Today a new rumor from China claims it will be Mate XTs instead, and that is perhaps more fitting considering that it won't be an entirely reworked device. It's said to come with improved performance from a new chipset, improved cameras, and new colorways. And that's it, everything else...
With the Redmi Note 15 series out and about, it's time for Xiaomi to release its ultra-budget models, the Redmi 15, 15C and possibly the 15R, if we go by last year's Redmi 14 lineup. However, by the looks of it, the standard Redmi 15 won't miss the party this time around (there was no vanilla Redmi 14) as we already have a good idea of what the phone might bring to the table. Shortly after this rather revealing leak, a tipster on X shared some images of what appear to be official renders of the Redmi 15. We've got a frontal image showing maybe thinner bezels than before, compared to...
Apple is rumored to be finally stepping into the foldable smartphone game next year - we'll be calling its first such device the iPhone Fold but don't take this for granted, we don't really know the name yet. Today in China, the prolific leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo has revealed the iPhone Fold's screen sizes. The inner, folding display is allegedly going to be 7.7", while the cover screen will be 5.5". That implies quite a different aspect ratio from what we're used to in the Android world. It's definitely not going to be the biggest book-style foldable around,...
Samsung is currently working on the Galaxy A07, obvious successor to the A06 which launched back in August of last year. If the yearly release schedule holds, then this should arrive sometime next month. In the meantime, it's been spotted in the Google Play Console, which means we have the image of it below to gawk at. The phone has a screen with 720x1600 resolution, 6GB of RAM, and the MediaTek Helio G99 SoC at the helm. It will rather disappointingly run Android 15 when it launches. As you can see, it has a waterdrop notch and the new Samsung camera island design for everything...
