The latest Sony midranger brings a few key changes compared to its predecessor including a more capable Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset and 8GB RAM but it loses out on the dedicated telephoto cam.Xperia 10 VIXperia 10 VI features a 6.1-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate. You still get Gorilla Glass Victus protection on the front, an 8MP front-facing cam and Sony claims the speakers are now louder and offer improved...

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/24/05/sony-xperia-1-vi-official/-184x111/gsmarena_006.jpg The Sony Xperia 1 VI is official and it's looking like a welcome refinement of the Xperia 1 V formula.The biggest change is the move away from the staple 4K OLED in its cinema 21:9 aspect ratio and towards a more conventional 19.5:9 1080x2340px panel. The diagonal is still 6.5 inches, but with the new aspect it's actually a slightly larger screen.Sony Xperia 1 VI for both work and playThe display is now brighter too - up from 900 nits to 1,300 nits - and smarter - the LTPO panel variably adjusts between 1Hz and 120Hz, whereas the Xperia 1 V mostly toggled between 60Hz...

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/24/05/iphone-16-live-photo-leak/-184x111/gsmarena_001.jpg Apple is notoriously secretive about its unannounced devices and affairs in general. iPhone leaks, in particular, are very rare. We often rely on second-hand or related industry and supplier information to get some hints. Like when we learned just recently that the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro display production is expected to be on schedule in June, hinting that the new iPhone 16 models will stick to tradition and come out in September.This year, however, there might be some cracks in Apple’s security since we did already see a fairly believable dummy iPhone 16 Pro Max unit in the wild,...

Samsung might be the first across said line with its Galaxy Book4 Edge line.

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/24/05/iphone-17-slim-more-details/-184x111/gsmarena_000.jpg We've already heard that Apple is revamping its iPhone lineup next year, retiring the Plus model and launching a Slim one instead. But so far we thought the iPhone 17 Slim would be similarly positioned to the Plus, only thinner.According to a new report today, that won't be the case. Instead, the iPhone 17 Slim will be the most premium of the bunch, and thus more expensive than even the iPhone 17 Pro Max, believe it or not.Apple seems to love thinness these days, having recently released the thinnest device it's ever made in the 13" iPad Pro, and is now apparently looking to trim...

We've already seen leaks detailing the Razr 50 Ultra's specs and pricing, and today it's time to turn out attention to the non-Ultra Razr 50 - which, we should add, is likely to launch in some places like North America as the Razr 2024.This will allegedly come with a 6.9-inch pOLED folding screen with 1080x2640 resolution, and a 3.63-inch cover display with a 120 Hz refresh rate.

The phone will have a less visible crease on the internal display and will have a redesigned camera island.Recent reports indicate that the Galaxy Z Flip6 will also have a smaller crease, they attribute that to a thicker UTG – going from 30µm to 50µm will make the crease less pronounced, apparently. The reports also state that the hinge design is the same as last year, though a redesign is coming with the Z Flip7.Anyway, Samsung may have used the same approach for the Z Fold6 too.

The Gemini app can be accessed straight from the phone’s cover display.This year even the vanilla Motorola Razr 50 has a usable cover display – it’s not as big as the Ultra, but at 3.6”, it is still one of the biggest cover displays around. The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra, with its 4” outer display that goes edge to edge, has very little competition for the title of “biggest cover display”. In the US these phones are known as the razr 2024 and razr+ 2024.As you...

But apparently that's not the case, and the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are coming to sit at a more premium level above the Buds 3.

Qualcomm wants to do all it can to change that, however. The issuance of updates is very dependent on the maker of the chipset in your phone, as that company has to still actively support the SoC, and for most cheaper ones, the support window ends much sooner than for more expensive ones, perhaps understandably. Even at higher price points, the cadence of updates...

Even though we're still many months away, they've already been in the rumors quite a lot, and now some new purported spec sheets for both have been outed in China. So let's dive in.

If you look closely, you will notice that the CMF Watch Pro 2 is round rather than rectangular like its predecessor. In a way, this makes it less of a sequel and more of a separate model.

While a handful of premium smartwatches offer atrial fibrillation (AFib), Ultrahuman’s Ring Air is now the first smart ring on the market to offer FDA-approved AFib detection. Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) tracks irregular heart rhythm (aka arrhythmia) which can be an early sign of heart-related health complications.

Now it's time to get the full official-looking leaked image treatment. So let's take a look at the Pixel Buds Pro 2 in all the colors in which they'll be sold. The hues will be called Charcoal, Porcelain, Aloe, and Hot Pink. Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 in Porcelain Compared to the original Pixel Buds Pro, these will have a slightly chunkier case, but with the same overall look....

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/24/07/google-pixel-9-pro-all-colors/-184x111/gsmarena_000.jpg When it rains Pixel leaks, it pours Pixel leaks, apparently. Earlier today we had two of them - one about the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL, the other about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. And we're back to the Pixel 9 Pro, as this device has now been leaked in all four of its colorways. Google Pixel 9 Pro in Obsidian So, ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes upon Google's smaller high-end device (the Pixel 9 Pro XL should have basically the exact same specs in a larger package). Like all of the other Pixel 9s, this one too will become official at Google's big hardware launch...

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/24/07/xiaomi-mix-flip-in-for-review/-184x111/gsmarena_000.jpg Xiaomi has several generations of foldable phones under its belt, but the Mix Flip is its first clamshell foldable. And this just might be the most impressive of its kind, at least of the ones that will be available in Europe (it will cost around €1,300). First things first, the retail package includes not just a USB cable, but also a 67W fast charger. Yes, the Xiaomi Mix Flip battery goes up to 67W, which is well above what Samsung’s Galaxy Z phones can do (both the Fold and Flip top out at just 25W) and it beats the Moto Razr 50 Ultra too (45W). One downside here is that wireless...

Android 15 beta 2 added new features like Private Spaces, a more efficient AV1 video decoder and more. Then beta 3 finalized the APIs, so that app developers can start testing against the new additions and the deprecated features. This doesn’t leave much for beta 4. The only notable change is that...

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/24/07/qualcomm-snapdragon-4s-gen-2-leak/-184x111/gsmarena_000.jpg Qualcomm will announce a budget 5G chipset at tomorrow’s ‘Snapdragon for India’ event and Evan Blass may have just spoiled the surprise – here are the details for the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2. This is a lower power, cheaper version of the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 from last year. This is still a 4nm chip with an octa-core CPU (two Cortex-A78 plus six A55), but with the clock speeds dialed back by 200MHz. The GPU presumably took a step back as well. Also, only 2,133MHz LPDDR4X RAM is supported (the non-s model can also use 5X at 3,200MHz). In terms of performance, this should slot in somewhere...

The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ might use the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 SoC, according to a new rumor from China. That's the same chip that's in the upcoming Nothing Phone (2a) Plus. For reference, note that the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ also went with a MediaTek chipset, the Dimensity 7200 Ultra. The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is also said to come with a 50 MP rear camera, which is interesting because its predecessor's setup was 200 MP (main) + 8 MP (ultrawide) + 2 MP (macro). Redmi...

In that case, check out the latest video – this one runs for 19 minutes and is a proper hands-on look at the new flagship model. There might be nothing left to unveil by the time we get to the August 13 announcement. Starting with the exterior, it seems that Google (like Samsung) has adopted Apple-style flat sides for this generation. The distinctive visor camera bump protrudes from the back quite a bit and it no longer extends from side to side but is now more of an island. Pixel 9 Pro XL size...
