Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro renders leak

Honor launched the 400 Lite earlier this month, and it is due to be soon joined by the 400 and 400 Pro. Today renders for both of these have been leaked, and you can see them below. The Honor 400 Pro has a 200 MP main camera as part of a triple camera setup and smaller bezels. The Honor 400 has just two rear cameras. It's unclear what the official names are for any of these colorways, by the way. Honor 400 Pro leaked renders Both models have flat screens, and the Pro has either dual front-facing cameras or one selfie snapper and an IR camera for face unlock. According to...

Gallery: Here are some Oppo Find X8 Ultra camera samples from a photo walk around Xi'an

We were lucky enough to participate in Oppo's launch event for the Find X8 Ultra in China and decided to take advantage of the occasion by putting its cameras through a quick camera exercise. We took the phone around beautiful Xi'an - the capital city of the Shaanxi province - and took photos at 0.6x, 1x, 3x, and 6x. We even stretched the 6x zoom camera beyond its optical limit and snapped a few low-light and portrait samples. The idea here is to give you a glimpse at the Find X8 Ultra's imaging potential, not to spoil our detailed analysis of its cameras. So we'll keep it brief...

Here's when Apple's delayed AI-infused smarter Siri is now rumored to launch

Apple has delayed the smarter AI-infused Siri. Back in March when the company finally acknowledged its issues in bringing these features to the market, it said they would be released "in the coming year". Today a new report alleges to give us a narrower timeframe. Apparently, the delayed Siri features are coming this fall. These features were talked about at WWDC last year, and were expected to be part of the iOS 18 release. Obviously, that hasn't happened and now if they do arrive in the fall with iOS 19, they will be landing about 15-16 months after the initial announcement. In...

Google Pixel Watch 4 renders leak showing new buttons in a thicker body

Google's next-gen smartphones have already been shown in leaked CAD-based renders, and today it's time for the upcoming Pixel Watch 4 to get the exact same treatment. The wearable will most likely be launched alongside the Pixel 10 series in August. As you can see from these renders, Google isn't changing the design of its smartwatch in 2025. It still looks the exact same as its predecessor, but it is said to be thicker at 14.3mm vs 12.3mm, which makes us hope for a bigger battery. The bezels could also be smaller, and there might be wireless charging support built-in. There are...

WhatsApp launches a dozen new features

WhatsApp is constantly testing new features through its beta channel, and these usually take months to finally launch for everyone. Today the service actually released a dozen new features at the same time, so let's go through them one by one. First, there's now an Online indicator in group chats, showing you which members are available right under the group name. Second, you can choose to only receive Highlights from groups, which limits notifications to mentions, replies, and messages from saved contacts. Third, you can now create an event in a 1-to-1 chat, RSVP as "maybe", invite a plus...

Apple and other companies could be exempted from Trump's tariffs

Trump's newly announced tariffs are about to hit many US companies really hard, and Apple is potentially one of the most affected. The bulk of its products are produced in China, and Trump hit the country with 125% on all goods before temporarily lowering the tariffs to 10% for the next 90 days. During the so called Liberation Day, however, a journalist asked Trump if he plans to offer exemptions, and a vague response followed, suggesting there will be exemptions for companies that are "hit harder". And let's be honest, who is going to be affected the most if not Apple? WSJ did the...

MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ is here with a minor prime CPU core frequency bump

The much anticipated MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ is now official, and as expected, it's a minor improvement over the 9400 which was launched last year. The Dimensity 9400+'s CPU has one ARM Cortex-X925 core clocked at up to 3.73 GHz, higher than the 3.63 GHz of the 9400. So basically, it seems like the 9400+ is a higher-bin 9400. While the NPU 890 is still in, it now comes with 20% faster agentic AI performance with Speculative Decoding+ and lets developers easily turn traditional AI applications into "sophisticated agentic AI applications" because "agentic AI" is the buzzword of early 2025...

Google shows off smart glasses prototype at a TED event

In December, Google announced Android XR, an OS for VR and AR headsets. Then in January, it acquired HTC’s Vive XR team. This is building up to several things and one of them was recently showcased at a TED event in Vancouver. Prototype smart glasses were worn by Shahram Izadi, the head of Android XR. These are not VR goggles, instead they have tiny displays that can overlay graphics on top of transparent glass.

Samsung Electronics posts earnings guidance for Q1 with higher consolidated sales

Last year, Samsung posted an impressive tenfold increase in profit for the first quarter of the year on the back of strong Galaxy S24 sales, as well as favorable prices of memory semiconductors. The Q1 report for this year isn’t ready yet, but the company just posted earnings guidance. Estimates based on K-IFRS show that Samsung is looking at higher consolidated sales of around KRW 79 trillion (up from KRW 72 trillion in Q1 2024), but the operating profit stays the same as last year at KRW 6.6 trillion. Samsung notes that K-IFRS requires specific numbers to be reported, but the press...

Samsung's Ballie companion robot is coming this summer with Google's Gemini AI built-in

Samsung initially introduced the Ballie "companion robot" in early 2020, and it's still not become an actual product you can buy. That, however, will finally change this summer, when Ballie will become available in the US and Korea. Ahead of the release, we've already seen a teaser video earlier this month, and today Samsung is announcing that Ballie will come with Google's Gemini AI built-in. Awkwardly, there's no mention of Bixby whatsoever in the press release, so maybe Samsung's in-house assistant got kicked out. Yongjae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display...

Here's the OnePlus 13T in a surprising colorway

The OnePlus 13T has been leaking a lot lately, and the company itself has already teased it and confirmed its battery capacity and weight. This is going to be a smaller flagship device with no compromises in terms of longevity and performance, that's for sure. Today a new leak says it will be offered in "pink" among other color options, though it is an incredibly pale shade - more like middle of the road between gold and rose gold, but not shiny, as you can see from the image below where it's sitting next to an iPhone. The OnePlus 13T is unfortunately only launching in China, at...

It's the end of the road for Samsung's Galaxy S20 family

Samsung may now be offering seven years of updates for its latest flagships (even eight for Enterprise models), but that hasn't always been the case. The Galaxy S20 series has now reached the end of the road - none of the devices will receive any more software updates from now on. We're talking about the S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra, by the way, which have all reached the five-year mark since their release. Samsung issued them with monthly security updates for the first four of those years, then switching them to a quarterly schedule for the last year. And now all of that has ended, as those...

Huawei Enjoy 70X Lite live images and specs leak revealing a surprising chipset choice

Huawei launched the mid-range Enjoy 70X back in January, and now it seems like it's almost ready to give us a slightly toned down version, called Enjoy 70X Lite. This has been leaked today in a couple of live hands-on images, which you can see below. We also have specs to talk about. Intriguingly, the 70X Lite will be powered by a Snapdragon chipset, unlike the 70X which uses the Kirin 8000A. This means the Lite version won't have 5G support since Huawei can't use 5G Snapdragon chips due to the US sanctions against it. Huawei Enjoy 70X Lite leaked hands-on images It will be...

Poco F7 is coming, certification reveals

Poco already launched the F7 Pro and F7 Ultra, and you may have been wondering whether they will be joined by a 'vanilla' F7 model. The answer is now a very clear yes, as the F7 has just been certified for sale in India by BIS. As you'd expect from the naming convention, this will be lower-end than both the Pro and the Ultra. The F7 is rumored to be a rebranded Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which should become official in China either this month or in May.

Gurman: Apple is preparing a major iPhone redesign in 2027

The original iPhone launched in June of 2007, which means we’ll be celebrating its 20th birthday in 2027, and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests Apple is eyeing a major redesign of its most important device. Apple will reportedly launch its first foldable iPhone in 2027, alongside a new iPhone 19 Pro model that “makes more extensive use of glass”. The report does not go into much detail about what that entails, but we’re guessing that would mean a larger percentage of the chassis is made from glass. This could mean a wrap-around screen like on the Xiaomi Mix Alpha or something else...

The OnePlus 13T will likely be the first model to ditch the Alert Slider in favor of a smart button

Deals: Google Pixel 9, Samsung Galaxy S24 FE and Galaxy A36

Things have quieted down after last week’s Amazon Big Spring Sale, but there were a number of important announcements this week that are worth keeping an eye on. For one, Google set an availability date for the Pixel 9a – April 10 for the US. The phone will start at $500 for the 8/128GB model, pricing for the 256GB variant hasn’t been confirmed yet. Meanwhile, the vanilla Google Pixel 9 is down to $650 for the base 12/128GB model and doubling the storage costs only $50. That still leaves a decent gap between the 9 and 9a and both models use the same Tensor G4 chipset. The Pixel 9 is...

TikTok gets another 75-day reprieve from Donald Trump

TikTok's 75-day grace period in which it needed to sell its US operations or get banned would have ended tomorrow, but today US President Donald Trump decided to give the app another 75-day reprieve. In a post on Truth Social, Trump says his administration has been "working very hard on a deal to save TikTok" and "made tremendous progress" - but not enough progress, it seems, for another reprieve not to be needed. Anyway, the deal apparently "requires more work to ensure all necessary approvals are signed", and Trump hopes to continue "working in good faith with China" regarding the...
