Apple is said to have a replacement for the classic iPhone mute switch in the works, thought of as an "Action Button" as it mirrors the new re-programmable analog from the Watch Ultra. Now, code outlining how it will work as part of a smartphone has allegedly emerged.

OPPO's A series is typically made up of Android smartphones with mid-tier specs that set them apart from premium mid-rangers such as the Reno series. However, from the looks of it, the upcoming A2 might aim for a higher-end appeal by moving on to a rear panel much more like those of the 2023 Find X6 flagships. It is also said to be graced with a (mostly) on-trend OLED display and an extra-large battery, yet not to break the bank with its price.

Xiaomi has announced the MIX Fold 3, its follow-up to last year's MIX Fold 2 and a future alternative to the Galaxy Z Fold5. Not only has Xiaomi confirmed when the MIX Fold 3 will arrive, but it has also teased new camera innovations that will debut in its next foldable.

OnePlus has unveiled its latest thermal management system for top-end Android smartphones at an ongoing Chinese tech expo. The new "Aerospace-grade Tiangong Cooling System" incorporates cutting-edge materials such as "next-generation super-thermal graphite" and thermal gel made of diamond, not to mention a vapor chamber about twice the size of those found in existing potential rivals of the first device to feature the system: the Ace 2 Pro.

A few days ago, we tested the Razr 40, a foldable that does without some features and is sold at a lower price. We summarize our findings here.

OnePlus appears to have confirmed prior leaks that claimed the company's first-gen foldable smartphone would be branded as the OnePlus Open. Indeed, the OnePlus Open seems to be on the way, and its launch could be imminent.

OPPO's Find N3 is now said to have taken an important step on its path to challenge its Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 rival in 2023. The foldable flagship Android smartphone has popped up by name on a Thai telecomms regulator's website, thereby possibly hinting at an imminent launch in Asia. The same device is also expected to hit other markets, albeit with a different moniker.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 has arrived, with Samsung equipping the new foldable with the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset as the Galaxy Z Fold5. For some reason, the smaller foldable still lacks Samsung DeX support, contrary to earlier rumours.

The long-rumored last member of the Galaxy S23 Android smartphone family was notable by its absence during Samsung's major Galaxy Unpacked event of today (July 26, 2023). However, it is still definitely on the way, according to a new tip. It will, apparently, arrive with wireless charging - and with other, more premium S23 party tricks in this area besides.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 is Samsung's latest attempt at a clamshell foldable. This time, the Galaxy Z Flip can close flush, eliminating the gap that existed with previous models. The Galaxy Z Flip5 also has a much more powerful processor than earlier models, among other changes.

Samsung has now presented the Galaxy Z Fold5 globally, one of its latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy-powered smartphones. The Galaxy Z Fold5 builds on the Galaxy Z Fold4 with minor but useful revisions, such as a new hinge design that helps it maintain a smaller footprint. The Galaxy Z Fold5 is ordearble from today with 12 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of storage.

A famous and typically accurate leaker has good news to share: the Realme GT series of high-end Android smartphones is back in earnest worldwide. It might pick up where it left off with a device heretofore thought of as the GT Neo6, which - while potentially impressive in itself with its Pixel 7 Pro-challenging specs and design - will be vanilla compared to its line's next-gen flagship.

OnePlus is now thought to launch its next flagship Android smartphone alongside a more affordable "12R" variant. However, the same device is projected to debut in China beforehand as the Ace 2 Pro. Those leaks come with a rumor of ultra-fast charging technology, which may have been vindicated by new evidence direct from a national regulator.

Lepow calls its latest portable monitor the DualViews, as it allows the user to connect not just one but two extra screens to a range of devices. They can be stacked vertically above a laptop for a particularly tall multi-tasking experience, or present information to others thanks to a convertible-like hinged build. Not only that, but one of the DualViews' screens is to have touchscreen functionality.

Elon Musk has announced that the site heretofore known as Twitter will "bid adieu" to its former brand identity, iconic blue bird avatar included. Company CEO Linda Yaccarino has touted the announcement as a pivotal stage in the social media platform's evolution into an "everything app" that integrates payments as well as multimedia messaging.

Apparently, Sony will increase the gap between its Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 smartphones this year with its fifth-generation models. Based on a leaked promotional video, Sony is making savings in at least one major area, with the Xperia 5 V lacking three rear-facing cameras like previous models.

The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will debut soon. Word on the grapevine has claimed in the past that Apple could launch the phones with a price hike versus their predecessors, and a new report from Bloomberg seems to indicate that possibility as well.

Apple could be set to all but completely eliminate the bezels on an upcoming iPhone, according to well-known tipster, Ice Universe. The company will also take Face ID completely under the display at the same time.

One week after being unveiled, the 4.3-inch Blackview N6000 is now launching globally for US$149.99. After the first 200 units, the price will go up by US$10. This rugged phone that runs Android 13-based DokeOS 3.1 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 and sports a 48 MP Samsung ISOCELL GM2 main camera.

The Sony IMX903 is projected to skip even the iPhone 15 series to debut as one of the iPhone 16 Pro series' major upgrades instead. It is joined by what might be an even more powerful sibling, the IMX907, in its latest specs leak. Both mobile device camera sensors are tipped to have relatively large footprints, exhibit advanced auto-focus (AF) and to have an appreciably high pixel density.

Samsung seems nearly ready to move on in terms of its budget Android smartphone offerings already, with a Galaxy A05 apparently poised to take over from the A04 soon. A device by this name has shown up on an independent testing database even though it has yet to launch, suggesting that it might be ready to lead a new generation of Galaxy A handsets into 2024.

Vivo has announced its latest, third-generation custom-designed ISP for the next generation of its premium smartphones. The V3 chip is touted to bring "4K Cinematic Portrait Video" to Android devices for the first time. The X100 and its higher-end siblings may be the first handsets to debut with this new co-processor.

OnePlus's inaugural foldable smartphone, reportedly branded as the "OnePlus Open" is set to launch soon. New leaks have now revealed more information on the foldable, including its launch date, availability, and its hardware credentials.

The Mate 60 series is said to launch as Huawei's next premium, non-foldable line of smartphones. They are now also projected to do so with long, pill-shaped cut-outs, so as to house an array of multiple front-facing image sensors. This is not the first time the OEM has gone with this kind of notch alternative - however, a prominent leaker fears it is doing so for the wrong reasons this time.

The Razr Plus (or Razr 40 Ultra, depending on its region) is Motorola's latest foldable flagship Android smartphone. The OEM has overhauled its design for consumers who want a cover display of the greatest size possible; however, the company clearly did not take YouTubers who would prefer to bend it in the wrong direction into account while doing so, as JerryRigEverything host Zach Nelson has just discovered.

A little snippet of possible information about a foldable Sony Xperia phone has surfaced. Shared by a known leaker, the details are in regard to the display of an upcoming flip phone. It has already been rumored that Sony could be working on an Xperia Fold or Xperia Flip that would take a compact clamshell form.

OnePlus is now projected to produce an R variant of its next flagship Android smartphone, as it did with the 11R in 2023. However, this "12R" exhibits even fewer design updates than the "12" as leaked thus far, if anything. Its alleged resemblance to its putative predecessor belies upgrades that may only just start with its processor.

Nubia has now officially updated its 2023 Z50 Android flagship smartphone series with a new variant based on the upgraded Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Leading Edition SoC. The Z50S Pro is also backed to rival other top-end mobile devices with cutting-edge 1-inch main rear camera sensors with many attributes shared with professional cameras - even if the actual sensor size in question is not one of them.

The Nubia Z50S Pro is a flagship-refresh Android smartphone is down to its last 24 or so hours ahead of its launch. Nevertheless, the OEM has decided that now is the perfect time to spring a full rear panel design reveal on its Weibo audience. The new post describes how the resulting, eye-catchingly bright and shiny SKU in question came to be.

Realme has now confirmed that the C53 confers the ability to "Shoot like a Champion" with a 108MP main camera for cheaper than ever before. The smartphone also offers an additional, potentially winning, perk in the form of the OEM's take on the Apple Dynamic Island: its "Mini Capsule for Android". However, this premium veneer of hype comes with frankly puzzling choices in other ways.

RedMagic has invited its fans who live outside China to join the "Winners' Circle" with the 8S Pro. It is touted as the ultimate form of the OEM's Android gaming flagship smartphone with the "strongest" version of the top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC to drive its "most advanced" 6.8-inch, 93.7% screen-to-body ratio AMOLED display. However, not all of its most ground-breaking specs have found their way to new markets.

The OnePlus 12's specifications have now leaked after a recent reveal of the device's renders. The OnePlus 12 will be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and is largely an iterative upgrade over the OnePlus 11. However, there are upgrades in terms of battery capacity, return of wireless charging, and a new camera setup with a 32 MP selfie shooter and a 64 MP 3x periscope telephoto lens.

Xiaomi has a bunch of devices scheduled to launch next month. Word on the grapevine indicates a launch event for the Redmi K60 Ultra and Redmi Pad 2, and also one for the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 and Pad 6 Max, with the latter two expected to remain exclusive to the Chinese market.

Xiaomi is expected to refresh its flagship 13-series Android smartphones with new T variants soon. Now, one of them, the 13T, is said to have popped up in a new leak. If so, it may outline RAM, storage, Wi-Fi and software specs for the upcoming mobile device.

At a whopping 58% off the original list price, the 2022 edition of the Motorola Edge has become a quite compelling bang-for-the-buck option for prospective Android smartphone buyers with a budget of less than US$300.

OnePlus' brand partnership with Genshin Impact has come to international markets in 2023, with a new buying option for the OEM's current flagship Android smartphone. It consists of the 11 in a new Custom Gift Box, which comes with collectibles and a version of OxygenOS 13 themed after one of the worldwide mobile gaming sensation's characters.

JLab has augmented its Epic series of products with an accessory that can connect to smartphones, tablets or PCs - however, it is for typing on them rather than listening to their audio in this case. The Epic Wireless Keyboard aims for a premium experience with a metallic build that incorporates a physical media dial and "soft touch" keys (that can be shared between up to 3 user devices), yet has been priced at well under US$100.

Although it comes with a tiny (by today's standards) 4.3-inch display, the Blackview N6000 rugged phone sports a resolution of 540 X 1,200 pixels and no less than 450 nits maximum brightness. This handset is driven by the MediaTek Helio G99 SoC alongside 8/256 GB memory/storage and a 3,880 mAh battery.

The OPPO K series have been some of the more eye-catching Android mid-range smartphones around for the last few generations. However, according to a new leak, the upcoming K11 iteration has not inherited these looks, and just bears a suspiciously close resemblance to a pre-existing OnePlus device. On that note, the two are now also said to have the same SoC, display and main camera.

Many people want a fast, compact smartphone, but options are becoming increasingly scarce. The Asus Zenfone 10 is one such smartphone, but our review summary shows that this only possible with compromises.

The Nothing Phone (2) is touted as a considerable upgrade over its inaugural predecessor in terms of specs, performance and rear-mounted LEDs. Now, it seems the 2023 Android smartphone has also become easier to take apart in this generation. That might also give its users a better chance of fixing certain aspects of the device themselves, if they want or need to.

Realme has announced that the C53 is on the way as a "108MP Champion" for the masses. This formerly more premium spec is thus set to trickle down to a whole new tier of the Indian smartphone market. Then again, taking it up at this level may entail compromises in other ways, such as a large battery hampered by slow charging.

The 12 has been unveiled as one of Redmi's most affordable new smartphones of 2023. It is now headed to India, hyped as a "Style Icon" with "Crystal Glass Design". Its launch is still weeks away from now (July 14, 2023), however; in the meantime, the OEM has released a preview involving a "stunning colorway" for its new market.
