Oppo A6c goes global with 7,000 mAh battery and revised camera design

If you thought that the day would pass without another Oppo A6 series announcement, guess again. Following a detailed leak from earlier this week, Oppo has finally unveiled the international version of its A6c. It features several differences from the Chinese A6c, including a Unisoc chipset, a larger 7,000 mAh battery and a different camera island. The global A6c arrives with the CPH2895 model number and brings a 6.75-inch IPS LCD with HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Here’s how the iPhone Fold stacks up next to the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max

Rumors about the iPhone Fold have been going on for years at this point, and Apple is expected to introduce its first non-slab phone this September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series. We now have a new look at how the trio compares size-wise thanks to case mold images shared by Sonny Dickson. The Fold features a peculiar, wide design just as previously rumored. We can spot a dual camera setup on the back, which is expected to consist of two 48MP sensors (wide and ultrawide) housed inside a camera plateau like on the iPhone Air. The new images were not accompanied by exact dimensions,...

Honor Win 2 specs leak

The Honor Win launched in December and according to a new leak from China the brand is already busy working on its successor. We will tentatively call this the Honor Win 2. It will allegedly be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 SoC, but the 'normal' version, not the Pro - Qualcomm is rumored to be releasing two options this year, with the Pro being the proper successor to the 8 Elite Gen 5. The Honor Win 2 reportedly has a 6.89-inch QHD+ OLED screen with a 185Hz refresh rate, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, and a 10,000 mAh battery. So, compared to...

iPhone Fold may arrive earlier than recently rumored

The iPhone Fold (or Ultra) has widely been reported to finally become official this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. However, recent rumors have claimed that it wouldn't actually start shipping right away - Apple would announce it at the same event as the Pros, but those would become available in late September as usual, while the Fold would take a few more weeks to actually arrive in stores according to one source. Another source claimed it might only be released in December. However, Apple seems to be doing all it can to have the iPhone Fold's arrival fully...

Google is launching a Pixel that's exclusive to one market

Limited editions are all the rage in many different fields, and Google apparently wants to play this game too. So it's preparing a Pixel phone that will be limited to only one market - it's not limited in the number of units available (that we know of), but will only be sold in Japan. What is this mystery device? Google's official X account for Japan has released the teaser image you can see below. And while it doesn't outright say what device this is, we're going to go ahead and assume it's just a colorway for an existing phone, a hue that won't be available elsewhere. Since...

There were no new major launches in the US, so we will focus on the recently released Galaxy S26 series. Meanwhile, the previous generation Pixel phones have resurfaced. The S26 flagships are in an intermediary period – they are too new for straight discounts, but it has been a month since they arrived, so they need a sweetener – the top dog, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, is paired with a $200 gift card from Amazon.

The next Sony Xperia 1 (number VIII) may finally bring a redesign to the (a bit stagnant) series. Case renders from China show a new camera island design, a more conventional (rather Moto-like) square camera island. The vivo X300 Ultra is official in China.

Weekly poll: is the vivo X300 Ultra a phone that you can see yourself buying?

The vivo X300 Ultra was officially unveiled on Monday with plans to ship it in China first and expand to the global markets soon after. Yes, the X Ultra is going wide for the first time. So, are you tempted? In China, the base 12/256GB model costs CNY 7,000 and started shipping on Friday. This converts to $1,020 / £775 / €885 / ₹95,000. These won’t be the actual prices of the X300 Ultra on the global markets, of course, those will be revealed later.

Weekly poll results: the Galaxy A57 is interesting but pricey, the Galaxy A37 gets shown the door

There may be trouble brewing on the horizon for the Galaxy A57 and A37 – the results from last week’s poll are in and the consensus is that the two phones are overpriced. And that there is some serious competition in the mid-range market. Luckily, Galaxy A phones don’t stay at MSRP for long, so the first issue will correct itself soon enough. If it hasn’t already – we’re seeing deals in some markets. Zooming in on the Samsung Galaxy A57, there is interest there, but it is strongly contingent on a lower price or a good bundle deal.

Samsung is rumored to be launching a wider form factor Galaxy Z Fold this year alongside the Galaxy Z Fold8, which will keep the taller and narrower form factor of its predecessor. The "Wide Fold" was shown in some leaked renders last month, but it doesn't have an agreed upon name yet, we've heard it referred to as Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide in the past, and today it's the Galaxy Z Wide Fold. Regardless of its name, here are some images depicting its aspect ratio when unfolded. It's 4:3, which is very far from, and much wider than, the Fold7's 1.11:1 (or 3.33:3).

Report: Samsung is looking to offset rising RAM prices in an unusual way

The rising cost of memory chips in the last year or so has forced manufacturers of electronic goods to come up with various strategies to offset the burden, especially smartphone makers that have a portfolio of low-end to mid-range devices. Bumping up the price of more affordable devices could potentially spell trouble. This doesn't necessarily apply to the high-end smartphones, where manufacturers are more inclined to shift the cost to consumers. A report from a Korean publication DealSite suggests that Samsung swapped out its homemade OLED panels in some of its mid-range models,...

Weekly poll results: the Oppo Find N6 gets praise, but limited availability is an issue

The Oppo Find N6 will be a very popular phone – and it could have been even more popular, but Oppo decided not to offer it in Europe. Otherwise, the N6 could have hit an impressive 50% positive vote in last week’s poll or gone even higher, assuming the phone reviews well (we have a review unit and we’re already testing it). The phone’s predecessor, the Find N5, impressed us last year and the N6 brings several important upgrades like the “zero-feel” crease, the 200MP main camera and the larger 6,000mAh Si/C battery. Of course, foldables aren’t for everyone – many in the comments said...

Apple discontinues the Mac Pro after twenty years

Apple has discontinued the Mac Pro. The venerable desktop computer had a twenty-year run and served as the flagship model in the company's lineup for most of its lifetime. The company has since removed the product from its website. The Mac Pro first launched in 2006 as a replacement for the then flagship Power Mac G5. Similar to its predecessor, the Mac Pro was a desktop tower PC with a modular design that allowed the user to replace the CPU, memory, optical and storage drives, and PCI expansion cards. The basic format of the Mac Pro remained unchanged till 2012, even as it...

Apple is opening up Siri to more third party AI chatbots, new rumor claims

According to a new rumor from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who is usually a very reliable source of Apple-related information, the company is planning some big changes to Siri in iOS 27, which is due to be unveiled on June 8. We don't just mean that the long-awaited, much-delayed AI-infused Gemini-powered Siri will finally make an appearance. Gurman now says Apple will also "open up" Siri and will let it run any AI service via an extension that plugs into Siri if a respective third-party AI app allows this. Thus, ChatGPT will no longer be an exclusive partner for Siri. Currently, when...

OnePlus Nord CE6 leaks in hands-on image, Nord CE6 Lite is on the way too

OnePlus is launching the Nord 6 on April 7. While this device has been leaking a lot lately, until today we weren't sure whether there will be a Nord CE6 too.

All iPhone 18 models and the iPhone Air 2 are now rumored to get this improvement

Apple was long rumored to get rid of the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, but recently a new rumor claimed that wouldn't happen, and instead, they would just have a smaller Dynamic Island.
