A second Galaxy S23 FE variant with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has been spotted on Geekbench. It scores 1,594 and 3,718 points in the single and multi-core tests and packs 8 GB of RAM.

Motorola's Edge 40 is a strong midrange smartphone with good performance, long battery life and a bright OLED panel. A special feature is the slick haptics, including a vegan leather back cover.

The K70 Pro is tipped to launch as Redmi's first Android smartphone to launch with the successor to the current top-end mobile processor from Qualcomm. The SoC might drive a display with on-trend specs and features on. The K70 Pro is also backed to debut with a battery that exceeds the traditional top-end 5,000mAh limit - albeit not by much.

Samsung may finally allow its flagship Android smartphones to charge faster than they have for generations in 2024. This upgrade is said to come courtesy of new battery tech developed along the same lines as those intended for electric vehicles. Then again, the upgrade may be exclusive to the top-end variant of the Galaxy S24 series - whereas Apple might also use it for the entire iPhone 15 line-up.

A reliable leaker has unearthed official pricing for the Galaxy Z Flip5. Spotted in a document on Samsung's servers, the pricing appears to confirm that the Galaxy Z Flip5 will cost more than its predecessor, the current Galaxy Z Flip4.

Xiaomi's Mix Fold 3 is already tipped to become the OEM's best-designed flagship foldable Android smartphone to date on its upcoming launch. However, according to a new leak, it may not be as advanced in certain other ways. They include the rate at which it can re-fill its battery, for a start.

The Fairphone 5 has appeared online again, this time revealing performance upgrades over the Fairphone 4. Official images of the Fairphone 5 have already leaked, confirming the design of Fairphone's next smartphone.

The Redmi K60 (also known as the POCO F5 Pro for the international market) is now said to have a successor in the works. Accordingly, the "K70" is most likely to turn out as the vanilla variant of its upcoming line-up - however, it is also now tipped to launch with the same processor as the current K60 Pro. Then again, the K70 Pro is believed to do better than either in this respect.

Nothing has now launched the Phone (2), its first Snapdragon 8 series smartphone and successor to last year's Phone (1). While the Phone (2) contains several performance improvements over its predecessor, Nothing has also made sure that its new smartphone withstands a thorough beating up.

@OnLeaks has returned with renders of the OnePlus 12, a flagship that OnePlus is not expected to release for nearly another six months. The OnePlus 12 features a few design changes from the OnePlus 11, including a new telephoto camera and a repositioned selfie camera.

Google has published Android 14 Beta 4, its second Platform Stable build. Rolling out to Pixel smartphones, including the new Pixel Fold, Android 14 Beta is also available on the Pixel Tablet for the first time.

One of the many tempting Prime Day discounts brings the US version of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with 512 GB in Phantom Black, Green or Cream finish down by 29%, so those interested can get them for US$979.99 instead of US$1,379.99. The Galaxy S23 and S23+ are also more than 25% off for the time being.

Nothing is now selling the Phone (2), its 6.7-inch and Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1-powered smartphone. Backed by a 4,700 mAh battery, the Nothing Phone (2) also has improved main and front-facing cameras compared to the Phone (1), as well as a 512 GB of storage option.

Nubia has hinted at an enhanced size and scale in the camera hump of its latest flagship Android smartphone. The Z50 Pro is thought to refresh the existing Z50 with a slightly faster, "Leading" edition of the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, with a respectable amount of RAM and Android 13 out of the box. It is also now tipped to come with a power brick in the box to help make sure it can charge at its top rated speed.

Teased early last week, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888-powered Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has been silently relaunched in India yesterday. As expected, the price is INR 49,999 (roughly US$610) for the model with 8/256 GB, which is the only hardware setup available and comes with five color options.

MediaTek has introduced the Dimensity 6100 Plus (or 6100+) as the latest option in processors to help mobile device OEMs "democratize" historically high-end features such as up to 120Hz displays. It also purports to bring power drain on 5G down compared to its competitors - then again, it seems MediaTek has decided that the actual SoC specs needed for these potential advantages are hardly brand-new.

More hands-on images of the Galaxy Z Fold5 have appeared online shortly before its release. The new images not only provide a clearer look at Samsung's tweaked design, but also the lack of apparent improvements at hiding the under-panel camera or display crease.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 is said to be Samsung's best-designed clamshell foldable Android smartphone to date. However, a hands-on video with an alleged dummy of the device still seems to exhibit signs of a gap created by its hinge when folded, a feature often linked to the increased risk of fragility.

RedMagic has confirmed that its Android gaming flagship smartphone refresh is headed to the international market, and sooner rather than later. The 8S Pro will bring "sleek design" powered by the "Leading Version" of the latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC to regions such as Europe soon. It will also boast a particularly large battery and class-leading display specs on its July 2023 launch.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 are almost upon us, with Samsung having scheduled their launches for July 26. In the meantime, leaker @billbil_kun has revealed how much each foldable will cost, as well as their launch memory configurations.

The Xiaomi 14 is expected to emerge as a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered upgrade over its 2022/3 forebear.

Therefore, fans of this flagship Android smartphone series might stand to expect yet more boxy camera humps - with more nearly bezel-less flat screens, at least.

Twitter leaker Yogesh Brar has revealed the Pixel 8's price. The smartphone will start at US$649 for the base variant with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. Google is slated to launch the smartphone early in October 2023.

Realme is expected to launch a "GT Neo6" (or, possibly, GT3 Pro for the international market) with a particularly fast AMOLED display, albeit perhaps driven by a higher-end processor. Now, the device is also slated to get a new 50MP main camera from Sony, along with the same class-leading charging options as its Neo5 predecessor.

Meta announced that it had 'invented' a "new way to communicate with text" about 3 days ago (on July 5, 2023) - which has resulted in millions of users' worth of uptake already. However, as it turns out, the fact that many of them were able to register with their existing Instagram handle implies a potentially crucial drawback of the new social media option. The links between the two accounts means that one cannot be deleted without also dumping the other.

Samsung has presented the Galaxy M34, a 5G handset with a 120 Hz Super AMOLED display and up to 8 GB of RAM. Samsung has also committed to delivering four major OS updates and a fifth year of security updates, outdoing its competitors.

Google has released the July 2023 update Pixel devices, including the new Pixel Fold. Only the Pixel Tablet receives any bug fixes though, with TQ3A.230705.001 and TQ3C.230705.001 merely adding 2023-07-01 and 2023-07-05 security patches instead.

It appears that Xiaomi is in the final stages of developing the Xiaomi 13T Pro, which is rumoured to be available in some markets as the Redmi K60 Ultra.

According to a new report, Google has missed deadlines to release its first TSMC-derived chipset next year. Instead, the company is now looking towards 2025, during which it is expected to offer up the Tensor G5, likely in the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro.

Nothing is days away from releasing the Phone (2), its first attempt at making a Snapdragon 8 series smartphone. While the company has revealed that the Phone (2) carries the A065 model number, Geekbench has thrown up another model variant, also with 12 GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. The listings confirm that the Phone (2) will launch with Android 13, too.

Realme has applied one of its newest "Mars Horizon" design languages to its latest mid-tier Narzo-series smartphones. They have been unleashed on the Indian market with up to 120Hz displays and dual rear cameras, although the most usable sensor may have been reserved for the top-end variant. The 60 Pro is also the only one of the series with a whopping 1TB internal storage SKU.

Nothing is gearing up to release the Phone (2), its second smartphone. Leaker Kamila Wojciechowska has now shared various specifications about the Nothing Phone (2) though, outlining camera upgrades from the Phone (1). The leaker has published numerous official wallpaper images that will ship with Nothing OS 2.0 , too.

OnePlus has unleashed a more affordable alternative to the new Nord 3 mid-range smartphone - albeit in India only, making the CE 3 the only device in its class to launch with a "flagship-grade" Sony IMX890 main camera. It also boasts NFC, Bluetooth 5.2 and Dolby Atmos - however, a selling point of its affordable forebears has gone missing in this generation.

OnePlus has now made its latest Nord-series flagship official. The Dimensity 9000-powered Android smartphone has made the switch to a flat AMOLED display for its third generation, and pairs this spec to 8 or 16GB of RAM, with increasingly rare IR blaster support to control other devices such as TVs. The OEM has kick-started its availability with European pre-orders sweetened with "free gifts" and offers.

Xiaomi is likely still over five months away from presenting the first member of the Xiaomi 14 series. Nonetheless, a known leaker has outlined a few specifications for both the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. Reportedly, both models will launch with larger batteries than their predecessors, but more so for the Xiaomi 14.

The Honor X50 is the first ever Android smartphone to debut with the new SGS five-star certification for drop resistance. It also offers 16GB of RAM for less than US$300, and has 5G thanks to its mid-range, if first-gen, Qualcomm chipset. The X50 has also launched with a 120Hz 1.5K AMOLED display kept on with an unusually generous 5,800mAh battery.

The Nothing Phone (2) may not be arriving until next week, but Evan Blass has shared numerous promotional images of the smartphone in both of its launch colours. The images show the Nothing Phone (2) from all sides, highlighting its similarities with the Phone (1).

Nubia has presented the RedMagic 8S Pro, which it also sells with a bigger battery and faster charging as the RedMagic 8S Pro+. The new gaming smartphone has plenty of tricks up its sleeve, including a new version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Leading Version and 24 GB of LPDDR5X RAM help the RedMagic 8S Pro exceed 1.7 million points in AnTuTu too.

OnePlus has now confirmed that the Nord CE 3 will launch as an Indian-market exclusive on July 5, 2023. The brand has also revealed some processing, design and display specs for the upcoming device. Meanwhile, its closest sibling the Nord 3 has been teased as a higher-end smartphone with a "flagship" main camera.

The Realme GT Neo5 (or GT3) switched to a transparent look for its rear camera hump on its early 2023 debut. Now, its Neo6 successor's alleged new take on the same design is thought to drop Nothing Phone (1)-esque lighting to follow a trend to be set by next-gen flagships from other brands such as Google or Xiaomi. It might also have the specs to match - albeit without the class-leading charging spec of the Neo5.
