In September, Qualcomm is rumored to be unveiling the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, with the latter being the company's new top dog in the smartphone SoC space until 2027.

That said, the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will most likely go with the Pro chipset. Xiaomi 17 Xiaomi will allegedly unveil its next flagship family in September, right after Qualcomm...

Samsung's first dual-folding device, the Galaxy Z TriFold, sold out in minutes in both Korea and the US, despite its eye-watering $2,899 price, due to extremely low stock levels. Now, a new report from Korea purports to let us know when we can expect to see it back in stock in the US. Samsung will allegedly bring it back before the end of this month.

The Xiaomi Tag will cost €17.99 in the Eurozone according to Xiaomi's official website for France, which seems to have mistakenly listed the accessory already. A four-pack will set you back €59.99. According to WinFuture, there are other European retailers that have listed it as well, some for below €15, undercutting the recommended retail price even before launch. This version of the Tag seems to lack support for UWB, which was rumored before. This means that Xiaomi will offer two versions of the device - this cheaper model sans UWB, and a more expensive option with UWB. The...

Right at the end of last year, Honor introduced the “Play” series in China with an entry-level 5G phone, the Play 60A. Now a nearly identical device has appeared in a store in the United Arab Emirates as the X6d. And that’s not the end of the story. The Honor X6d is very similar to the Play 60A – the main difference is the upgraded 50MP f/2.0 camera (the 60A only has a 13MP f/2.2 camera). It’s still the only lens on the back and it still tops out at 1080p @ 30fps video recording, but it is an upgrade. The 5MP f/2.2 selfie camera is the same. The other spec that shows up as different is...

Samsung expects that demand for its memory chips will remain high not just this year, but also in 2027. Song Jai-hyuk, the CTO of Samsung’s Device Solutions (which makes chips), spoke at Semicon Korea and revealed some interesting details. The so-called AI hyperscalers – companies building out absolutely massive cloud infrastructure to serve the ever-growing compute needs of AI – are ordering memory at unprecedented levels, which, in turn, has caused prices to skyrocket. Samsung is focused on mass-producing HBM4 (“High Bandwidth Memory”). Samsung reported booming sales in Q3 last year...
