iPhone 17 family to have big display upgrades

The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Slim (which will replace the Plus model since it's not selling well at all), iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max will all come with significant display upgrades next year, according to Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants. Young says the iPhone 17 will finally get 120 Hz refresh rate and an LTPO OLED panel, meaning it will be able to vary the refresh rate down to very low rates, possibly even 1 Hz. This has been a very long time coming, since Apple still, even with the iPhone 16 family, gatekeeps high refresh rate for the Pro models. Alongside the...

Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold wired charging support officially confirmed and it's disappointing

If you've been wondering why our testing revealed the fact that the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold takes a whopping one hour and 36 minutes to fully charge, the answer is quite simple - but not great news. It turns out that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has the slowest wired charging support of all Pixel 9s. It tops out at just 21W. This unfortunate number has finally been confirmed directly by Google today. So with that context in mind, it's no surprise that the search giant's second foldable smartphone takes so long to charge. If you're wondering why Google would pull something like this,...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra Book Cover Keyboard cases leak

Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra will arrive this year with no vanilla model alongside them, according to multiple rumors. Today, the Book Cover Keyboard cases for both models have been leaked. The new keyboard has a dedicated Galaxy AI key, because it's 2024 and of course it does. This is housed next to the Alt key on the right side. It could be similar to the Windows Copilot key in terms of functionality, but more details aren't known at this point.

It’s official: Huawei Mate XT Ultimate will make its way outside of China after all

Huawei shipped the first units of its first tri-fold Mate XT Ultimate earlier today in China and if you were left wondering whether the device would ever make its way outside of its home market then we have some good news! We can now confirm the Mate XT Ultimate will launch globally in Q1 2025. With a starting price of CNY 19,999 ($2,800/€2,550) in China, Mate XT is already one of the most expensive bits of tech you can purchase, and when we factor in the price fluctuations between China and the rest of the world, that cost could balloon to well over $3,000/€3,000 for international...

Oppo is introducing ColorOS 15 on October 17 with - you guessed it - a focus on AI. And if you were wondering when the company's next flagship smartphone line would be getting official, we now sort of have an answer. According to Digital Chat Station over on Weibo, the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro could be unveiled as soon as October 21. Not sooner than that, it seems. But it's reasonable to assume it could be later. Not much later, since Chinese companies are all competing with each other to launch new flagship products as soon as possible each year. Oppo Find X7 Ultra The Find X8 and...

Apple Intelligence is finally unleashed thanks to iOS 18.1 public beta

It's finally here - sort of. Following the disappointing launch of iOS 18 on Monday without any Apple Intelligence features, today these have finally become available to the regular, non-developer public. But only if you are willing to try out iOS 18.1 (or iPadOS 18.1), as its first public beta has now come out following a period of developer-only testing.

Sony 1000XM5 headphones get pink versions

Not long ago Beats decided to Kardashianize the Studo Pro headphones with some new colors, and today - coincidence or not - Sony is following suit. Only there's no Kim Kardashian here, and we're only getting one new color, not three. Both the WH-1000XM5 over-ear headphones and the WF-1000XM5 true wireless earbuds are now being offered in pink. This seems to be true across regions, but the exact name of the new colorway will vary by locale for some reason. Rest assured that it is, however, the exact same pink everywhere.

Samsung halts One UI 6.1.1 rollout for the Galaxy S23 Ultra

On Monday Samsung started pushing the update to One UI 6.1.1 to the Galaxy S23 family in Europe, India, and other markets. Today the company has suspended the rollout for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The reason is a bug that is causing ghosting in pictures captured at zoom levels between 16x and 19.9x. This issue doesn't affect any other phones, so only the rollout for the S23 Ultra was halted. The company is currently working on addressing the issue. Once it's done that, it will re-release the update with it fixed. Right now it's unclear how long this will take, but hopefully it won't be more...

EU court finds Qualcomm guilty of predatory pricing

The EU's second highest court confirmed an earlier verdict and found Qualcomm guilty of what is known as predatory pricing. However, the court reduced the fine from €242 million to €238.7 million. The case concerns Qualcomm's contract with British software maker Icera, which is now part of Nvidia. Between 2009 and 2011, Qualcomm sold chips below cost. This practice aims to exclude other competitors from the potential deal. Qualcomm has put forward numerous appeals, including one that claims the Qualcomm-Icera deal accounted for just 0.7% of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications...

Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 family last week and they will all become available this Friday, on September 20. Be that as it may, someone has already gotten their hands on an iPhone 16 Pro - somehow.

A game of milimeters - Galaxy S25 Ultra to have thinner bezels than iPhone 16 Pro Max

Apple just dropped the new iPhone 16 Pro Max with a massive 6.9-inch display with thinner bezels. Importantly, the display is bigger than the Galaxy S24 Ultra's and its bezels are thinner than Samsung's current flagship. But according to Ice Universe, the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra will match the iPhone 16 Pro Max' 6.9-inch diagonal. It will slim down the bezels by 0.2mm compared to the S24 Ultra, which means Samsung's upcoming flagship will have slimmer bezels than the Pro Max iPhone. The rumor comes alongside a render of the Galaxy S25 Ultra next to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. It matches...

Following its siblings, the S25 Ultra and vanilla S25, today it's time for the Galaxy S25+ to be portrayed in the first ever leaked renders. These are CAD-based so fine details may be inaccurate, keep that in mind, but the overall gist of the design is what we're going to get come January. And it's definitely boring. Sure, it's instantly recognizable as a Samsung, which is good for the Korean company's brand recognition, but the problem (which isn't new at all) is that it looks just like any Samsung.

The start is promising – the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protected cover screen scratches at level 6 on Mohs hardness scale while the main UTG screen is covered in plastic and scratches at a level 2. It’s all downhill from there as the host adds sand and small rocks on the main screen which immediately find their way inside the device and its hinge.

Weekly poll results: the Honor Magic V3 proves hugely popular

Only 1 in 10 people think that there are better foldables than the Honor Magic V3, judging by the results from last week’s poll. This comes with an asterisk as some potential competitors just aren’t available in all the markets where the V3 is present. That’s their loss, however (and, perhaps, a loss for consumers). Anyway, there is the persistent vote from people who just don’t like foldables. That’s okay, Honor has plenty of traditional phones. But those voters aside, most people like the Magic V3 – the only major issue with it is its price. Even so, a whopping 41% of voters are...

A couple of days ago a report claimed the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 FE would be €100 more expensive than its predecessor in Europe.

So, instead of €799 for the 8/128GB version, we're now down to €749. That's still €50 more than what the 8/128GB S23 FE launched at, but perhaps a smaller price increase is more palatable?
