Realme Note 60 appears on Geekbench

Realme launched Note 50 early in 2024, aiming to plug its sub-$100 hole in the portfolio. The series is practically available globally, and the company promised two more devices by the end of the year. The next phone would be the Realme Note 60, which is just around the corner. According to a source, the device with model number RMX3933 was benchmarked on Geekbench, revealing an entry-level chipset and Android 14. Realme Note 60 on Geekbench The Note 60 might be very similar to the Note 50 since the benchmark revealed an octa-core CPU with all the cores at 1.8 GHz. The...

AAA games for iPhones and iPads aren't very popular

According to data gathered by Appfigures, AAA titles for iPhones and iPads aren't as big of a success as Apple may have hoped for. Currently, Resident Evil Village and Assassin's Creed Mirage are available for iOS and iPadOS as these games were used to promote the iPhone 15 Pro series' hardware prowess. But the data doesn't show promising results. In fact, Appfigures argues that these titles are actually a flop. For instance, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage has more than 123,000 downloads since its release on June 6, but less than 3,000 users paid for the full game, costing $49. And...

OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are coming soon, rumor claims

OnePlus is working on the Buds Pro 3, according to a new rumor. The company released the Buds Pro 2 back in February of 2023, and followed them up with the non-Pro OnePlus Buds 3 this February, and so we thought the "Pro" moniker was simply gone from its roster, in a similar fashion to what OnePlus did for its flagship smartphone line. But apparently that's not the case, and the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are coming to sit at a more premium level above the Buds 3. The Buds Pro 3 will allegedly be offered in black, gold, and green, but as always not all colors may be available in all markets, at...

Qualcomm wants to make it easier for phone makers to issue Android updates

Android updates are increasingly supported for longer and longer periods of time on top of the line, high-end, or upper-midrange devices across brands, but lower-midrange and especially entry-level phones have it a lot harder. Qualcomm wants to do all it can to change that, however. The issuance of updates is very dependent on the maker of the chipset in your phone, as that company has to still actively support the SoC, and for most cheaper ones, the support window ends much sooner than for more expensive ones, perhaps understandably. Even at higher price points, the cadence of updates...

Motorola Edge 50 Fusion vs. Edge 50 Pro

If you are eyeing a new Motorola phone, you may have stumbled upon the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion and the Motorola Edge 50 Pro, which honestly look visually quite identical. There is a bunch of differences under their respective hood, though, and we'll have a look at those in this comparison to assess whether the huge difference in price is well deserved. The Edge 50 Fusion retails for around €350, while the Pro can be found for almost double that at around €580. Sure, the Pro is expected to be the better device in every way, but maybe the Edge 50 Fusion has what it takes to get you a lot of...

Samsung infographic on the Galaxy Z Fold suggests a thinner and lighter Z Fold6

On the metaphorical eve of the Galaxy Z Fold6 announcement (July 10), Samsung has released an infographic, dedicated to the progress of its Fold series. It goes device by device, starting with the Galaxy Fold of 2019, and ending with the Galaxy Z Fold5. The theme of the infographic is the reduction of thickness and weight while retaining structural integrity. The theme strongly suggests a thinner and lighter Galaxy Z Fold6 is coming in two weeks. Rumors have suggested as much, and it's logical to assume that Samsung will aim for a lower weight. Per reports, the Galaxy Z Fold6...

Samsung Galaxy S25 could use MediaTek chipsets too

A pretty wild rumor out of Samsung's home of Korea today claims the company is thinking about using MediaTek Dimensity chips for the Galaxy S25 family which is due to launch next year in January. Not just MediaTek chips, mind, but MediaTek Dimensity chips (presumably the Dimensity 9400) alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Samsung's own Exynos 2500. So if this pans out (and that's a huge if), then the next flagship family from the Korean brand could have three different SoCs in various markets.
