Samsung has apparently confirmed to Korean media that its Exynos 2500 production yields are improving, following a few months of struggles. So, the company plans on equipping both the Galaxy Z Flip7 and the Galaxy Z Flip FE, which is also expected in 2025, with the Exynos 2500 SoC. That may of course prove rather controversial, seeing as how the Exynos chipsets' reputation hasn't been amazing over the past few years. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 It's interesting that the report says nothing about the Galaxy Z Fold7 - so maybe there's a chance it could be using a Qualcomm chip instead....

Chinese smartphone makers love to create sub-brands to cater to different areas of the market - think Redmi, Poco, iQOO, Realme. And vivo is apparently working on its next sub-brand following iQOO.

But now it looks like Jovi is all ready to grow up and become its own smartphone brand. The information comes from records found in the GSMA database (that's the GSM Association, no relation to us by the way). These show three upcoming vivo...

Last week’s poll shows that things are not equal in the Honor 300 series – we didn’t expect them to be, but one phone beats the other two by a very wide margin.
