The full specs for the first device in this line then leaked later that month, and now the company has officially confirmed this series. Li Jie, President of OnePlus China, took to Weibo to announce the Turbo range, commemorating 12 years of OnePlus' existence. The Turbo devices will "inherit the powerful performance genes" of OnePlus flagships, while leading with the strongest battery life in their class, and providing "an unprecedented gaming experience". OnePlus 15 Interestingly, Li...

Apple is widely rumored to be finally dipping its toes in the foldable smartphone game next year with the device we're calling iPhone Fold (though it's unclear what the official name will turn out to be). Today on Weibo, the Chinese leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station has decided to share more details about the device. According to him, the iPhone Fold will have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, in typical book-style foldable smartphone fashion.

An unknown HMD phone has surfaced on Geekbench – it bears the code name “Pearl”. Pearl was running Android 15 on a Unisoc chip with just 4GB of RAM for the test. Which chip is that? This appears to be the Unisoc T7250. The listed motherboard “ums9230_6h10” refers to the T606/T615/T616, however, the CPU clock speeds (2x @ 1.82GHz + 6x @ 1.61GHz) indicate that this is the T7250 indeed (the three T6xx chips are 2x @ 1.6GHz + 6x @ 1.6GHz instead). Mali-G57 is the GPU on both the T606 and the T7250. Geekbench 6.2.2 results: HMD Pearl (the HMD Pulse 2 Pro, perhaps?) By the way, the...

One of the most requested features is finally coming to Waze. We're talking about showing traffic lights. This has been a part of Google Maps for years now, and Google also owns Waze as you may know - but it's taken this long for Waze to start integrating traffic lights for some reason. For now it's a limited release - Waze is testing the traffic light display feature in Israel. The feature seems to be in early stages. Interestingly, Waze will only show you a maximum of three traffic lights when in navigation mode, presumably to keep the UI from looking too cluttered. That said, if...

The Honor Magic8 Lite will follow in the footsteps of the Magic8 Pro – no, that’s not a good thing.

European Magic8 Lite units will have 7,500mAh batteries and will weigh 189g. The ones sold in the Latin America region will have 8,300mAh batteries and will weigh 193g. At least there’s no third option... for now. The Magic8 Pro for China has a 7,200mAh battery, the global model has a 7,100mAh battery and the EU model has a 6,270mAh...
