Interestingly, the official name of the phone seems to be Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica, and as rumored countless times before, it will feature the iconic red dot Leica logo on its back in at least one colorway.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Last week we saw the first CAD-based render depicting the upcoming iPhone Fold, and today a video shows the device from more angles - or does it? It might be based on the leaked CAD schematics, but if it is then why isn't that mentioned in it? We assume it's to make you think this is a leak. It's not. It's more like speculation. And there is at least one significant departure from the previously leaked CAD schematics, in how inconsistent the selfie camera's placement is on the inner, folding screen. While we don't know who's right here, we will say that this video starts by proclaiming...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Introduction Samsung is ending 2025 on a high note. The Galaxy S25 series outsold previous generations of S phones and Samsung’s foldables are more popular than ever. However, there’s trouble brewing underneath the success. As popular as the S25 phones were, they felt like they were in a holding pattern with minor upgrades. And the big experiment this year, the S25 Edge, failed. As for foldables, the Z Flip7 and Z Fold7 brought much-needed upgrades to the Z series. And look at the Galaxy Z TriFold – that’s certainly a head-turner even if it’s more of a commercially available tech...

Click Here To Register...] The information comes from an official support page in Hindi, which also clearly states that the feature will be rolling out gradually to users, so don’t expect to see this option right away, if at all.Reading through the support page, the way it works is that once every 12 months, Google will allow you to “change” the email address associated with your Google account. In actuality, the process is more like adding a new alias email to your account since your old email address will not be deleted and will remain functional. You still get one email inbox and outbox, but presumably, you will...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Motorola seems to be on a roll with announcements. At the end of October, the company launched the Edge 70, as the global version of the X70 Air. As the name suggests, it is a device that emphasizes a slim body. We aren't exactly sure why Motorola decided to go through with copying the trend after both Apple and Samsung had rather disappointing sales on their "air" devices. Still, for better or worse, all signs point towards an upcoming X70 Air Pro model, likely to be called the Edge 70 Pro globally.Motorola put out an official teaser image for the X70 Air Pro, stating that it will be...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Google's hardware division didn't have a particularly strong 2025, releasing new phones that didn't really stand out as particularly innovative. That's not the best strategy in any market, but it's particularly damaging in those outside the US where more makers are present.And, sure, Google isn't primarily a hardware company, but it makes phones, earbuds, and smartwatches every year and fails to make a meaningful market impact against the likes of Samsung and Apple, its main rivals.Still, Google's phones are getting better and better even if not always at an impressive pace.
