Here's when Samsung's Galaxy Watch FE will be released

Samsung's Galaxy Watch FE has been leaking a lot in recent days, and the fact that the company is already giving one away to buyers of the S24 family over in Belgium got us thinking - what if the Watch FE won't in fact be launching in July alongside the Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra? Today a new rumor basically confirms our suspicion. A tipster over on X now claims the Watch FE will be released on June 24. Galaxy Watch FE will release June 24th— Arsène Lupin (@MysteryLupin) June 7, 2024 Of course as this is just a rumor at this point, you should take it with a pinch of salt....

Gurman: Apple iOS 18's AI features to be dubbed Apple Intelligence

Today's Mark Gurman report for Bloomberg reveals some details on the AI-powered iOS 18 features we are going to see during the WWDC keynote on Monday. The tech giant is bringing all the features under the "Apple Intelligence" umbrella, which is a clever use of the AI acronym. Apple's main focus with those will be productivity and helping with everyday tasks so AI will be baked into many of Apple's system apps. For instance, the AI can generate summaries of web pages in Safari or offer rich replies in Messages and Mail. The latter will also use an AI-powered algorithm to sort emails and...

Oppo Reno12 F specs leak for both 4G and 5G versions

Samsung is giving away the unannounced Galaxy Watch FE in Belgium

Samsung's Galaxy Watch FE has been leaking a lot in the past few days, which may mean its official introduction will happen earlier than the initially anticipated announcement in July alongside the Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra. Now Samsung itself has practically confirmed the existence of the Watch FE yet again, by offering an intriguing promo over in Belgium, through its official website over there. If you buy a Galaxy S24, S24+, or S24 Ultra until June 30, with a subscription plan from Orange or VOO, you will get a Galaxy Watch FE for free from Samsung. The steps to take...

Our Google Pixel 8a vs. Google Pixel 8 video is now out

The Google Pixel 8a came out last month and is the company's latest mid-ranger. That is, in certain areas. It's powered by the same Tensor G3 chipset as the Pixel 8 which launched last year, and that phone is constantly on sale these days. This leads to an obvious question: Which of these is the better buy? That's exactly what our latest video aims to explore. We pit the new kid on the block, the Pixel 8a, against its older, more high-end relative, the Pixel 8, to see whether there's a point in splurging a bit more for the latter or not. We go through both devices' features and how...

iQOO 13 might be so good that it makes the iQOO 13 Pro redundant

According to the prolific Chinese leakster who calls himself Digital Chat Station, there may not be an iQOO 13 Pro coming. That's because vivo's sub-brand is currently testing an iQOO 13 prototype that will make a Pro model redundant. This is said to sport a "2K" flat screen with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, and it will have IP68 certification for dust and water resistance. iQOO 12 While DCS doesn't give us any other specs, he does say that if this is going to be the iQOO 13 that's expected to launch later this year, then there will definitely be no iQOO 13 Pro,...

IDC: wearables market grows 8.8% in Q1, but buyers focus on cheaper models

The wearables market grew 8.8% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to Q1 last year. However, the market is continuing to shift towards cheaper models as this was the fifth straight quarter of declining Average Selling Price (ASP). This insight comes from IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker. The analysts say that consumers don’t see much point in spending extra cash on premium models and mostly stick to mid-range and entry-level devices, hence the declining ASP. But once advanced sensors, ones that can measure blood pressure or glucose, hit the market, things will change...

Nothing Phone (3) isn't coming until next year, CEO announces

The Nothing Phone (2) got official in July last year, and so you may have been expecting its successor to show up in a few weeks' time. But you'd be wrong, as it turns out. The lack of recent leaks regarding a Phone (3) was actually foreshadowing. Today Nothing founder and CEO Carl Pei outright announced the fact that the Nothing Phone (3) is only going to launch in 2025. That's a pretty huge delay compared to the usual high-end smartphone yearly refresh cycle, and if you're wondering why Nothing chose this path, it's all about - wait for it - AI. There's been a lot of hype around AI....

Poco M6 Plus 5G appears in the Google Play Console

The Poco M6 Pro 5G launched in August of last year, followed by the M6 in December and the M6 Pro 4G this January. And now it seems like we're almost at the point where a new member will join the family. We are of course talking about the Poco M6 Plus 5G, which has already been certified in India by BIS last month. Now it's been spotted in the Google Play Console with the model number 24065PC95I, which means it will launch in India (that's what the final "I" stands for). Furthermore, the launch could happen this month, since that's the code that starts the model number - "24" for the year...

OnePlus 13 camera details leak

The OnePlus 13 has so far been rumored to employ a new camera island design compared to its predecessor's. It will also allegedly have a 6,000 mAh battery and maybe even an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. Today it's time to talk cameras.

Samsung Galaxy Watch FE name confirmed by certification, price leaks

A few hours ago, the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE leaked in all its glory, with official-looking images as well as specs. There has been some controversy regarding its name in the past few weeks, with some sources going with Watch FE, while others claiming it would actually be called Galaxy Watch4 (2024). The debate is now settled, as the Galaxy Watch FE has been certified by the Bluetooth SIG with that exact name - so Galaxy Watch FE it is. That said, this is basically a re-launched Galaxy Watch4, as the leaked specs from earlier today can attest, so that name wouldn't have been out of...

Xiaomi Mix Flip may launch internationally

Xiaomi has gatekept its book-style foldable line for years, only offering it officially in China, but things may thankfully be very different when it comes to its first flip-style foldable device, widely believed to be called Xiaomi Mix Flip. We already know this is coming later this year, and now there's reason to hope it will launch globally and won't be confined to China like the Mix Fold line. The Mix Flip's global model number has been spotted in the GSMA's IMEI database - 2405CPX3DG. The "G" at the end stands for "global" and is only assigned for - you guessed it - models that...

It aims to objectively evaluate the vehicle's infotainment system's performance by testing the chipset and the available RAM and storage, just like the benchmark app on smartphones.

Realme GT6 specs leak

Right now, there is no Realme GT6, but in a few weeks' time it looks like there will be two separate devices available, both called that, but not the same. Confused yet? The global version of the GT6 is due to be unveiled on June 20, as revealed last week by a Realme VP. This is rumored to be a rebranding of the Chinese Realme GT Neo6. But there will also be a GT6 launching in China, with a higher-end SoC. And it is the specs of this one that got outed today. The Chinese GT6 is said to sport the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC (compared with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 for the global model). Realme GT...

The Duo plan will go up to $16.99 for two users ($2 more than before) while the family plan will be $19.99 per month (an increase of $3).

Huawei Watch Fit 3 review

The Huawei Watch Fit 3, launched in early May, sports a design that's new for the Chinese company. It's got a white metal body with bright red rotating crown button, and leather strap, and after we spent a couple of weeks with one our our hands we are ready to share how it performs. Huawei abandoned the rectangular design of the Watch Fit and Watch Fit 2 in favor of a look strongly reminiscent of the Apple Watch. We received a black strap unit, which is arguably the most subdued of the lineup. When we asked the Huawei team developing the Watch Fit 3 about the resemblance to the...

Deals: Poco F6 and Galaxy F55 go on sale, Phantom V Flip gets a massive discount

The Poco F6 arrives in India alone – the Pro model isn’t coming. Not a huge loss, perhaps, as it’s starting to look like the F6 will be the more popular of the two. It features the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and a premium display – 6.67” with 1,220 x 2,712px resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, 12-bit colors and Gorilla Glass Victus.
