Here's something we don't see very often (or ever). Today we have leaked images showing two separate upcoming Motorola phones. So far so unremarkable. What is out of the ordinary is that they look 100% the same. The only difference can be found in the colors that will be offered. Moto G05 leaked renders We're talking about the Moto G05 and Moto G15. The G05 will come in orange, and that's how we know which is which. The devices should hopefully be more different on the inside. More Moto G05 leaked renders Both phones will have a 50 MP main rear camera, and...
Last month the iPhone 16 series got banned in Indonesia, because of Apple having previously committed to investing IDR 1.71 trillion (approximately $107 million) in the country in local R&D facilities and then not meeting that commitment. Earlier this month, Apple pledged around $10 million in investments in Indonesia in a new factory to circumvent the ban, and today the company has boosted that planned investment tenfold, up to $100 million - which incidentally is very, very close to the sum it was initially supposed to invest and didn't. The $100 million would be invested in...
Oppo launched ColorOS 15 last month with a strong focus on AI.

One of our readers tipped us off to the fact that ZTE has uploaded certification documents to its official site for a yet-to-be-unveiled model – the ZTE Blade A35e. This includes an EU Declaration of Conformity, which shows a photo of the new phone. Based on the name, this is related to the ZTE Blade A35. However, its camera setup has a different layout. It looks like a single camera plus an LED flash. The current A35 includes some artifice – what appears to be a quad camera also has just a single lens and a flash. Anyway, we took the model number of the ZTE Blade A35e (Z2466) and...

Earlier this month, Ice Universe posted that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim will have an Ultra camera, but didn’t offer more specifics. Now another leakster, Sanju Choudhary, claims to know the exact sensors that will be used in the mid-season upgrade (the Slim is expected to take the place of the S25 FE). The main camera will have a 200MP sensor, a new ISOCELL HP5, which some reports claim will measure 1/1.56” according to the leakster, though older reports claimed it would be 1/1.3” (the same size as the HP2 inside the S24 Ultra). This sensor is usually mentioned in the context of the...

Samsung is known for not following the trend of ultra-fast charging speeds. For several years, the Korean company has equipped only a handful of its flagship models with 45W charging capabilities, while the majority of its Galaxy lineup comes with 25W charging.

First in line is the Galaxy A56, which was certified in China with support for 45W rates. Samsung SM-A5660 (Galaxy A56) certification The phone is still in the works and is highly...
