Huawei Mate 40 and 40 Pro cases show a round camera bump, vanilla model has a 3.5 mm jack

Basic transparent cases that allegedly belong to the Huawei Mate 40 and Mate 40 Pro have surfaced, courtesy of leakster Digital Chat Station. They have a circular opening for the camera bump on the back, rather than square. There’s no extra hole for the LED flash, which suggests that it has been incorporated into the circle. Which makes sense as the circular hump is now larger than on the Mate 30 series. Now let’s have a closer look at the differences between the Pro and the vanilla model. Huawei Mate 40 Pro case: note the volume rocker and the extra grille The Huawei Mate 40...

Apple iPad Air manual leaks to reveal side-mounted Touch ID

A leaked user manual for the upcoming iPad Air reveals a couple of features and bits about the design. The manual itself is in Spanish and comes from the Eurasian Economic Commission as part of the registration process. Shots of the user manual Judging by some of the images from the user manual, we can say that the new iPad Air will feel and look a lot like the 11-inch iPad Pro from 2018 with super-thin bezels but instead of Face ID, the device will adopt Touch ID. The fingerprint reader is said to be integrated into the power button on the right side, making this the first...

Sony Xperia 5 II official announcement set for September 17

Sony scheduled a “new product announcement” for September 17 and the #SonyXperia hashtag leaves little doubt that there’s a new phone on the way. The company wouldn’t be making so much noise unless it was about to launch the Sony Xperia 5 II, right? We saw the first renders of the phone yesterday, showing a triple cam with ZEISS T* lenses as well as a classic top and bottom bezel design on the front. There isn’t much info on the hardware, however. It should be very close to the Xperia 1 II, save for some changes (e.g. the 3D ToF sensor seems to have gone missing). The screen size is...

Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro hands-on photos leak, show huge 108 MP cam

A cache of images and info on the Xiaomi Mi 10T has leaked from a couple of sources. They all paint a picture of a supercharged flagship that will be available globally (unlike the Mi 10 Ultra). There are at least two models, Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro, and there could be more. Hands on photos with the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro show a massive lens for the 108 MP sensor. The layout is similar to the vivo X50 Pro, so this might feature an advanced stabilization system of some sort. Alleged Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro hands-on photos A config file shows that the Mi 10T Pro (code name Apollo Pro)...
