The iPhone Fold is now being tested with an under-display camera

Apple's first foldable iPhone is due to make its debut in late 2026 or 2027, and today a new rumor from Korea purports to spill the beans on the current state of the engineering prototypes. Thus, the iPhone Fold is said to have a cover display with a hole-punch selfie camera. The inner, folding screen, on the other hand, interestingly, has an under-display selfie camera, like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold6. Apple's foldable also sports a side-mounted Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and there's no support for Face ID. The screen sizes have shrunk ever so slightly compared to the previous...

Mystery Redmi phone gets certified with big battery, will also be Poco branded

Xiaomi's sub-brands are working on a new smartphone, which has just been certified by the FCC - that is, the Redmi version of it, bearing the model number 25078RA3EL. It lacks 5G support, so it will be 4G-only. The phone boasts a massive 6.9-inch LCD touchscreen, and a big 6,000 mAh battery. It will support 33W wired charging, and will ship running Xiaomi's HyperOS 2.2. The live image you can see below shows a V-shaped notch at the top of the screen, which, along with the lack of 5G support, confirms that this will be a very cheap device. It will also be offered under the...

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge in for review

The new Galaxy S25 Edge arrived at the office today and we have some thoughts. Let's get the obvious stuff out of the way first - it's thin (5.8mm), and light (163g), and it ships in a box with a USB-C cable. The S25 Edge is undeniably elegant and refined. It's also pretty in an understated and minimalist sort of way. And despite its svelte profile, it feels solid. There's also a good amount of top-tier tech - the Snapdragon 8 Elite, a 200MP main camera (though not the same as the one on the S25 Ultra), Samsung's excellent AMOLED upfront. So what's the point of this phone? We can't...

Nothing officially confirms that it's making over-ear headphones, here's when they're coming

Nothing is working on a pair of over-ear headphones. The company has officially confirmed the move in the video you can see embedded below. This follows Nothing's recent announcement about partnering up with KEF for future audio products, of which many will arrive as early as this year. So, we assume the headphones will too. Nothing was first rumored to be developing its own pair of headphones back in February, when they were allegedly certified by SGS Fimko with the model number B170 and identified just as "wireless headphone". Nothing CEO Carl Pei shared a few fan concept images...

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE chipset drama continues with an interesting Geekbench listing

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 FE was first rumored to employ the same Exynos 2400e chipset as its predecessor. Then, we got word that there was a chance of Samsung going with the Dimensity 9400 instead. Today, it seems like neither of those rumors were true. A Galaxy S25 FE prototype has seemingly run Geekbench, and as always this has revealed its chipset, which is the Exynos 2400. Not the 2400e found in the S24 FE, but the 2400, which has a prime CPU core clocked 100 MHz higher. Samsung Galaxy S25 FE SM-S731U confirmed to feature Exynos 2400 chipset.Specifications🔳 Exynos 2400 SoC🎮...

Samsung is preparing a new Galaxy AI gallery feature

According to a tipster on X, Samsung is preparing to include an image-to-video generation feature in its Galaxy AI suite. Unfortunately, the tipster doesn't elaborate further and only mentions the image-to-video AI feature. This report comes shortly after Google announced the advanced video generation capabilities of Gemini. Given that the two companies work closely together and Gemini is already the default virtual assistant on Galaxy phones, Samsung may leverage Gemini's AI capabilities. Furthermore Honor is about to beat Samsung to it. The Honor 400 series will have the...

According to sources close to Bloomberg, Apple is working on an AI-powered battery-saving feature for its upcoming iOS 19.

Samsung might kill the Galaxy S26+ in favor of the S26 Edge

Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge a few hours ago, and we already have a rumor about its successor, as apparently there will definitely be one. According to sources in Korea, the Galaxy S26 Edge will launch alongside the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra. In case you spotted what's missing, you're not wrong. The rumor says Samsung is currently considering giving up on the Galaxy S26+, as the Plus model has consistently been the worst seller in its flagship line for a few years now. So, if this gets done, then the Galaxy S26 Edge will basically be the Galaxy S26+'s replacement...

Canalys: global tablet market is up 8.5% in Q1 as people replace pandemic-era slates

The global tablet market grew 8.5% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025, reports Canalys. However, different markets had different reasons for the growth in shipments. There was a sharp uptick in tablet sales during the pandemic as people moved to work/study from home. However, those slates are now 4-5 years old and in need of replacement – that’s what pushed shipments in the US up in Q1. The Trump administration announced blanket tariffs but quickly made smartphones, tablets and chips exempt, so that didn’t move the needle much. However, tariffs will still have an effect –...

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7's edge-to-edge cover display confirmed in One UI 8 leak

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series has undergone several evolutionary stages as far as its cover display is concerned. The original Z Flip had a teeny-tiny display – just enough to show a few notification icons. The Z Flip3 (which is the second generation model) had enough for two lines of text, the same goes for the Z Flip4. Then the Z Flip5 and Z Flip6 expanded that to a larger 3.4” display – large enough to use apps, but still with massive bezels.

Weekly poll results: the OnePlus 13T (13s) is popular, but limited availability limits its potential

A great future denied – the OnePlus 13T (aka 13s) proved quite popular in last week’s poll, but most voters that are interested don’t live in one of the two countries where the 13T/13s will be available, China and India, respectively. Interestingly, less than 10% think that OnePlus cut too many corners – it did cut some, but it looks like none of the deleted features will be missed all that much. The main concern that we saw in the comments was about the cameras – no, not the missing ultra-wide module, but the image quality of the 50MP main and 50MP 2x telephoto. It was never going...
