Google will finally release the Android equivalent of iOS' Battery Health screen for the first time. The facility is thought to land with the software's next major upgrade, although it might be accessed in its latest betas for the Mountain View's Pixel 7-series flagships. It is thought to yield useful information such as charging cycles and total capacity right from the system UI for the first time.

Qualcomm typically introduces its latest top-of-the-line chipset for mobile devices during its yearly Snapdragon Summit conference. The OEM has confirmed that it will hold such an event in 2023 - just about a month earlier than usual. Meanwhile, a famous leaker asserts that it will be followed by the first smartphone to be based on the potentially cutting-edge 8 Gen 3 SoC not long after that.

Motorola India has alerted its fans that it will "Flip the Script" for its next major product event. That is because it is now slated to unleash the OEM's latest foldable clamshell Android smartphone on another new market. It is backed to bring its enlarged cover display and all its new software tweaks with it to its new home.

Is it a multi-mode mobile device charging station?...is it a DIY desk toy?...is it a potential gift for a techy loved one? According to AOHi, it is all of those things. The brand's "Future Eternal City" accessory is intended to look like a space-themed display, yet is in fact a wired/wireless charger bundle, with a power bank to boot. It is also on sale with a coupon code for a limited time.

With generous discounts of over 20% available to some of its siblings as well, the 128 GB green Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is currently available on Amazon with an excellent discount of 33%. Thanks to it, those interested can get this previous-generation flagship device for US$799.99 instead of US$1,199.99.

There has been some considerable conjecture over what the recently discovered mysterious Samsung SM-S919O device could actually be. A couple of well-known leakers have been offering their opinions, with one stating it could be a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Exynos 2300 smartphone and the other opining that the Galaxy Note series could be in for a surprise revival.

Xiaomi appears to be laying the groundwork for a Xiaomi 13 Ultra global release later this month. While the company has not shared anything official yet, it has now scheduled two release dates outside China.

A leaker has revealed extensive details about the Redmi 12, a mid-range smartphone that Xiaomi is said to be releasing next month. Allegedly, the Redmi 12 will launch with a 90 Hz and 1080p display, a 5,000 mAh battery and a 50 MP primary camera, among other hardware.

In our review, the Oppo Find X6 Pro shows off its best side. Its appealing design and strong hardware make it a great alternative to the Galaxy S23 Ultra or Xiaomi 13 Ultra. Unfortunately, it is very unlikely that we'll have the pleasure of being able to buy Oppo's smartphone in Europe.

Google has announced several new features for Pixel devices that it will start rolling out later this month. Available for the Pixel Watch too, the June Feature Drop arrives just before Google starts shipping the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet.

Google is on the verge of shipping its Galaxy Z Fold4 competitor following several alleged cancelled prototypes. Now, several Google employees have confirmed as much, revealing that model before the Pixel Fold was simply not 'good enough' to bring to market.

Samsung took a disproportionate amount of orders for the OLED displays found in the iPhone 14 range during their production compared to other main display suppliers LG and BOE. The former is now said to have gained some ground back in this respect in 2023, having secured a contract to make an increased volume of "15 Pro" and "15 Pro Max" panels. Then again, Samsung may still be content with their additional vanilla "15" and "15 Plus" orders.

Nothing is preparing to launch the Phone (2), its next-generation smartphone. With the launch occurring next month, Nothing has taken steps to underline how it has lowered its carbon footprint between the Phone (1) and Phone (2).

Motorola will soon unveil the Razr 40 series, consisting of the Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra. A leaker has shared the latter's full specification sheet ahead of tomorrow's launch, confirming a rather limited IP rating. Motorola is already advertising the Razr 40 Ultra in Europe, too.

According to a new report, making the Galaxy S23 Ultra cost Samsung ~39% of its current official retail value per unit. About 35% of this production cost went on the super-premium Android smartphone's class-leading new processor, with another ~14% going on its headlining rear cameras. The total bill is still less than that of an iPhone 14 Pro Max, at least.

Early signs of the Xiaomi 14 series have been spotted, at least 6 months before the expected arrival of the Xiaomi 14 or Xiaomi 14 Pro. Chinese and global models have been seen so far, although a renowned leaker claims to have been privy to a mysterious 'N7' model too.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) has debuted in North America. Smaller than its predecessor, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) is also the world's first smartphone with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, a 4 nm chipset. The new Moto G Stylus 5G has a 120 Hz display, a 5,000 mAh battery and a 50 MP primary camera too, among other features.

Down from US$429.99 to a more wallet-friendly US$219.99 thanks to a 49% discount, the 4 TB Samsung T7 Shield portable SSD has been around since mid-November 2022 and became very popular since then. This fast and handy rugged storage accessory is rated IP65 for protection from dust and water.

OnePlus has announced that it is releasing a special edition of its current flagship Android smartphone for its fans in India. Its new Marble Odyssey finish is made of "3D crystalline rock" that falls into a pattern that may vary from unit to unit, making each one that much more "unique". The new version of the 11 is slated to arrive in early June 2023.

The Redmi Note 12T Pro is Xiaomi's latest mid-range smartphone and the second Redmi Note 12 series model released this month. Offered with a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultra chipset and up to 12 GB of RAM, the Redmi Note 12T Pro also has a 144 Hz display backed by a large battery that supports 67 W wired charging.

Volcan has now followed through on its crowdfunding teasers by announcing that its Energon 300 campaign has started today (May 30, 2023). Its angular metallic "space-age" case weighs about 3.6 kilograms (kg), yet is rated to pack 300 watt-hours of capacity, enough to power some iPhones more than 20 times over.

At Computex 2023, ARM unveiled its latest v9.2 big.LITTLE architecture promising up to 15% gen-on-gen gains.

ARM also detailed its latest 5th Gen graphics architecture coming to the Immortalis-G720, Mali-G720, and Mali-G620 GPUs that are slated to offer 15% improved performance and efficiency.

Xiaomi is preparing to release the Redmi Note 12T Pro, a new mid-range smartphone. Not only has the company revealed the device's release date, but it has also revealed various specifications following a Geekbench appearance.

OnePlus is now thought to launch a second-gen Ace Pro in China - which, if so, is an increasingly sure sign that it might debut as a new variant of the flagship 11 in the rest of the world. However, it might not have that Android smartphone's design this time around - in fact, it could look much more like the latest mid-ranger from OPPO instead.

A leaker has revealed what this year's Redmi K60 Ultra and Xiaomi 13T Pro will look like. Both due towards the tail end of 2023, the pair are expected to launch with 144 Hz displays and MediaTek Dimensity 9200 Plus chipsets, among other features.

Tecno has officially brought its latest Camon-series smartphones to the Indian market, its 20 Premier flagship included. It packs a 108MP shooter in its distinctive, angular rear camera hump, and also offers a large AMOLED display driven by a mid-range MediaTek Dimensity processor. It is joined by 20 and 20 Pro siblings slated to start at ~US$180 in their new region.

The barely unveiled Doogee V20 Pro and S100 Pro bring new combinations of highlights into the Chinese OEM's portfolio of products while remaining faithful to the MediaTek hardware. The first one replaces the secondary display on the back with an InfiRay thermal imaging camera and its sibling packs a 130-lumen LED light.

Motorola is edging ever nearer to releasing the Razr 40, one of two forthcoming clamshell foldables by the company. Both due on June 1, a recent Geekbench listing appears to confirm the Razr 40's reliance on an outdated Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, as well as up to 12 GB of RAM.

The memory specifications for the Sony Xperia 1 V RAM and storage have been shared by a well-known leaker. At the same time, a new rumor has sprung up about the storied Xperia line claiming that Sony could return to something like the Ambient Flow design that was sported by devices such as the Xperia XZ2 for a future smartphone.

An Apple rumors blog has shown off what might be a full collection of iPhone 15-series dummy models in a new video post. According to this new leak, the Cupertino giant will produce direct successors for each 14-series variant in 2023. On that note, the OEM may be banking on upgrades such as USB type-C charging to set the new iPhones apart from previous generations.

Xiaomi is projected to unleash an upgrade over its current 13 Pro flagship Android smartphone by the end of 2023. Then again, this "14 Pro" is now thought to launch with the same type of screen as its predecessor - albeit with tweaks that have already come in for praise from a noted leaker. Can Xiaomi finally get the display experience it is going for right in this generation?

iQOO is now thought to launch an updated version of its 11 Pro premium Android smartphone in mid-2023 - however, this one might have the 'overclocked' version of the top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset heretofore exclusive to the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The "11S" is also backed to outdo that Samsung flagship in terms of display quality and charging speed.

The Pixel Fold is now officially the most expensive Android device that Google sells through its online Store in the US - and is even more pricey in its top-end 12GB RAM/512GB internal storage configuration. Nevertheless, the Mountain View giant is now out of those SKUs to pre-order in the US.

ASUS is asking for support from fans to optimise the camera system of the forthcoming Zenfone 10. The company will give away three Zenfone 10 handsets as a reward. Arguably, ASUS's T&Cs are of greater interest, because they hint at the Zenfone 10's US retail price and release window.

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is one of the best Android smartphones in 2023 that is - at least currently - only available via import. Even though the Chinese version makes some compromises in the LTE bands, importing the Xiaomi smartphone might still be worth it.

With the CIVI 3, Xiaomi has created a new mid-range model that is available with more memory than many flagships. Not only is the CIVI 3 also the first smartphone to launch with the Dimensity 8200 Ultra, but it is also Xiaomi's first smartphone with a 4K selfie camera.

Samsung Display has revealed a new OLED display that includes integrated sensor technology embedded within the panel itself. The panel can authenticate via a fingerprint, but also measure heart rate, blood pressure and stress levels.
