The new phones made somewhat of a negative initial impression for keeping things mostly unchanged, but there are some novelties. Let's dive in! From left to right - Google Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and the Pixel 11 Pro XL The Google Pixel 11 Pro XL is the biggest in the trio, and it feels it. It's tall and wide, and hefty at 226 grams.

Samsung Galaxy S27 CAD-based renders leak

Yesterday some new CAD-based renders of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra leaked online, and today it's the vanilla Galaxy S27's turn to get the exact same treatment.

According to the source of these renders, the Galaxy S27 Ultra will measure 163.76 x 78.25 x 7.97 mm, which makes it imperceptibly larger than its predecessor on all three axes....
