vivo launched the Y04 back in February, and it was released in March, and now it seems like the brand is working on a slight variation based upon it. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the vivo Y04e, now spotted in the Google Play Console, which means it's coming very soon. It looks just like the Y04, and the listing reveals that it comes with an LCD screen with 720x1,600 resolution, 4GB of RAM, and Android 15 on board. The Y04e is powered by the Unisoc T612 chipset. The T612 has been rebranded to T7225, and that's the same chip the non-"e" vivo Y04 uses. It also has versions with 4GB...

We did a quick hands-on with the Nothing Phone (3) at its unveiling, but now we have the retail unit in the office and ready for review! So let's unbox it! The Nothing Phone (3) ships with a USB cable, a SIM ejector tool, and a transparent case. The phone comes in black and white colors. The 12/256 GB version will retail for $799/€799/£799/₹79,999, while the 16/512 GB model is going for $899/€899/£899/₹89,999. We've talked about the design of the Phone (3), but it's so polarizing that it brings itself up during office conversations. You either love it or you hate it - there's no...

Samsung today announced a new suite of security and privacy updates that will be available in One UI 8 based on Android 16. The company also very strongly hinted at the fact that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 will be the first handsets to launch running Android 16 with One UI 8 on top. With One UI 8, Samsung is introducing Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), which creates "encrypted, app-specific storage environments within the device's secure storage area, ensuring that each app can access only its own sensitive information and nothing more". KEEP helps secure your...

The Xiaomi 16 has been rumored to launch in China by the end of September, right after Qualcomm unveils the chipset that will be powering it. The phone has now received the EEC certification, ahead of its global launch. It's unclear when that will take place - its predecessor was introduced to international markets this February at MWC, but if the Xiaomi 16 launches in China in September, waiting five months for it to make its global debut is stretching things quite a lot, so perhaps Xiaomi will change things this time around - it remains to be seen. The certification reveals the...

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 FE will have a flagship display feature, unlike its predecessor from last year. According to a new report out of Samsung's home of South Korea, the company has decided to use a flexible OLED panel for the S25 FE. These are more expensive than rigid OLED panels, and thus are generally only used in flagship smartphones. Even though the S25 FE doesn't fit that bill, Samsung has apparently decided to give it this flagship feature in order to better help differentiate it from the likes of the Galaxy A series. The flexible OLED panels can be bent and thus allow for...

Samsung is holding its next Unpacked event on Wednesday, where it's widely expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7, along with the Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic. Now, these two watches have been leaked in a couple of official-looking promo images. As you can see, they confirm the oft-rumored switch to a squircle case design for both the Watch8 and Watch8 Classic, getting them in line with what the Galaxy Watch Ultra started last year. As with the Ultra, the screens are still circular, despite the case shape. Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic leaked promo...

Nothing's more affordable sub-brand CMF is apparently readying a new smartwatch. This will be called CMF Watch Pro 3 and will obviously be the successor to the CMF Watch Pro 2, which made its debut last year. The CMF Watch Pro 3 is rumored to cost €99 in the Eurozone, as you can see in the screenshot below. The device will be offered in Dark Gray. This leaked price represents a €30 increase compared to the CMF Watch Pro 2, which isn't much in absolute terms, but percentage-wise, that's a 44% hike, so we're hoping this upcoming CMF Watch will also have some impressive hardware and...

Realme started teasing the 15 and 15 Pro at the end of June, and today a purported render depicting the latter has been leaked. Interestingly, it kind of looks more similar to the Realme 14 than the 14 Pro it's replacing, which had a circular camera island. Speaking of which, the 14 Pro arrived back in January and the 14 joined it in March. So it's intriguing to see Realme already teasing their successors, after such a short time. Of course, the launch of the 15 and 15 Pro is probably still a few weeks out at least. The source of today's render says this colorway could be called Flowing...
