[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Samsung's oft-rumored Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, known until very recently as Galaxy Z Fold Slim or Galaxy Z Fold Ultra, will actually have S Pen support, according to a new rumor today.This contradicts a previous rumor which claimed it wouldn't support Samsung's stylus. Of course, we can't vouch for the validity of either of these rumors, so do take both of them with a grain of salt.Also, keep in mind that supporting the S Pen, if it does pan out, won't mean that the phone will have a dedicated internal slot for the stylus, just that you will be able to use it on the device -...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Today, following months of developer previews and public betas, Android 15 is finally fully baked. It's ready, it's stable, it's out - but not for you. Or us. Just developers for now. Google has uploaded the Android 15 source code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), but updates aren't ready just yet - not even for Pixels. The September update that started rolling out today for Google's smartphones is still Android 14. Android 15 will finally make it to Pixels - including the just-launched Pixel 9 family - "in the coming weeks", Google promises, while devices from Samsung,...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Google launched the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold last month, and today all of these devices are receiving their first ever software update. This is the September update that is going out to all of the Pixel devices that Google still supports. And it's not Android 15, in case you were wondering. While it fixes security vulnerabilities for all, this update also adds a specific bug fix for the Pixel 9 family. This will improve Wi-Fi stability and performance "in certain conditions", Google says, without going any further into detail. As usual with Google...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] The Xiaomi 15 Ultra may arrive sooner than its predecessors, and it has been rumored to pack a significant upgrade compared to the 14 Ultra: a 200 MP periscope telephoto camera. Today a new report 'confirms' this information, as much as any unverified rumor can. The new camera will enable a 10x option in the viewfinder, and this level of magnification will be achieved through a combination of optical zoom and in-sensor zoom. Xiaomi may or may not market this as "lossless", and we're not going to debate the accuracy of the term. We prefer to simply get excited about the quality of the...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Google just launched the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, all powered by the same Tensor G4 chipset. The only one missing in the family is the upcoming Pixel 9a, the most affordable option of the bunch, which is now rumored to arrive between March and May next year. The Pixel 9a will, according to a new report, use the Tensor G4 SoC as well, but with an unfortunate twist. It will be paired with the Exynos 5300 modem, not the new 5400 model that is inside the other Pixel 9 devices and runs cooler and more efficiently. Google Pixel 8a This means satellite...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Huawei's long-teased tri-fold smartphone is getting official in China on September 10, and it will be called Mate XT. A newly outed image purports to show us a hands-on view of one of the device's sides, but do take this with a gigantic pinch of salt, since not even the Chinese source of the image is sure of its authenticity. It's hard to tell how real this is since the Mate XT will be the very first tri-fold smartphone we'll ever see. Maybe it will look like this from the side, maybe it won't. Either way, we'll have official images in exactly one week, so there isn't that much more...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Apple took its sweet time switching to OLED display panels for its mainline iPhones, but the iPhone SE stuck with the cheaper LCD technology. That will, however, change when the next iPhone SE is released, most likely next year. According to a new report out of Asia, the next iPhone SE will have an OLED panel as well. This confirms many previous rumors. Thus, Apple will no longer be making any smartphone using LCD panels, which will hurt Japan Display and Sharp, as they were the suppliers for those and neither makes OLED panels for phones (JDI supplies small OLEDs for the Apple...
