iQOO 16 now tipped to pack an 8,400 mAh battery

Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station had earlier claimed that the iQOO 16, expected to launch this month, would pack an 8,500 mAh battery. Now, the tipster says the smartphone is confirmed to come with an 8,400 mAh battery. Even if the iQOO 16's battery capacity is lower than previously rumored, it is still higher than the iQOO 15's 7,000 mAh battery capacity. [#InlinePriceWidget,14198,1#] The iQOO 16 is rumored to have the same wired charging speed as the iQOO 15: 100W. It is also rumored to support wireless charging, but it's unclear how fast it will be. The iQOO 15 supports 40W...

iPhone 18 colors, Galaxy S27 Ultra camera detailed, Poco F9 series unveiled, Week 36 in review

The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max could get a completely refreshed color palette this year. A new leak claims Apple will offer the pair in Dark Cherry, Sky Blue, and Black, with Dark Cherry expected to replace Cosmic Orange as the headline finish. The wine-like red/purple shade has appeared repeatedly in previous leaks, while Sky Blue should be a much subtler, almost silvery option. Perhaps more interestingly, the leak claims Silver won’t make the cut, despite earlier reports and leaked dummy units pointing to a silver version. Black, meanwhile, would make its return after being conspicuously...

Huawei Watch 6 46mm in for review

Huawei's got a watch for everyone - whether you're into smart bands (the Fit and Band series), affordable classic watches (the GT line), all-out superwatches (the Ultimate), and if you're into classy timepieces that aren't your regular watch lookalike, there's the Watch series. This is the Huawei Watch 6 46mm, and it brings back the styling of its predecessor.

Samsung Galaxy A35's One UI 9 beta update release is imminent

About a week ago, a One UI 9 beta build with firmware version A356NKSUAZZH5 for the Galaxy A35 was spotted on Samsung's test servers in Korea, suggesting the smartphone would receive the One UI 9 beta before the stable update. Now, another piece of evidence suggests the Galaxy A35 will receive the One UI 9 beta update and that its release is imminent. A Samsung user posted a screenshot on the company's community forum showing a beta section for the Galaxy A35, suggesting the Korean brand will soon open the One UI 9 Beta program for the Galaxy A35 and allow users to try One UI 9 before...

Apple apparently has two game controllers in the works

Practically anything Apple releases tends to enjoy at least some popularity. Unfortunately, like with most of the industry, the days of outright silly products like the iPod Socks (yes, we are not making this up) seem to be gone now. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t still room for somewhat stranger products. Apparently, Cupertino is working on two different game controllers, or at least that’s what code found inside macOS 26.7 suggests. The macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate code actually seems to contain a bunch of references to unannounced devices, including camera-equipped AirPods and...

Deals: Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Z Flip8 get first big price cuts, Galaxy S26 FE launches

The Samsung Galaxy Z8 series of foldables launched about a month ago and we’re already seeing the first big discounts for the Z Fold8 Ultra and the Z Flip8. They are still not cheap – flagship foldables never are – but the price drop is tangible. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is $300 off. This is a great discount and it makes the Ultra $100 cheaper than the wide Galaxy Z Fold8. Ideally, the choice between these two would come down to form factor preference – the multitasking-friendly Ultra vs. the media-friendly Z Fold8 – but price is a factor that is hard to ignore. The Ultra also has...
