Specifications of the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 have leaked online. The SoC reportedly features a new "Travis + Gelas" CPU architecture with eight cores. The leak also alleges a big clock speed boost for the SoC with the Dimensity 9500's two big cores alleged to reach up to 4 GHz.

The Galaxy S25 Slim is tipped to launch as a new kind of flagship Android smartphone from Samsung in the new year. It is believed to have the OEM's most cutting-edge rear cameras as well as a new, thinner form-factor in order to compete with the rumored iPhone 17 Air.

The OEM has now confirmed that it is to become available outside China, starting with an Indian launch in early 2025.

Apple has popularized the concept of adding extra capacitive buttons to mobile devices with the iPhone 16 series.

A new leak outlines Vivo's potential 2025 product roadmap. The leak includes launch details for highly anticipated models like the X200 Ultra and X Fold 4.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is on the way, with a January 2025 release on the cards for the high-end gaming GPU. At first glance, it looks like the RTX 5080 will be some $300 more expensive than its RTX 4080 predecessor, but the leak might be missing important context.

Redmi is now thought to build on the success of the K70 Extreme Edition (or Xiaomi 14T Pro for the global market) with an even more powerful smartphone called the K80 Ultra. However, other brands are currently working on challengers with the same updated top-end MediaTek Dimensity-series silicon - except for Honor, which has other ideas for its upcoming "GT Pro".

The next-generation flagship gaming laptops are on the horizon, and a new leak reveals what users can expect from one of Clevo's most premium 18-inch models. With a 4K display, 192 GB of RAM, Thunderbolt 5 and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000, the ODM model promises powerful features.

Smartphone design is still evolving slowly, but the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL clearly distinguishes itself from the Pixel 8 Pro with a flat frame and a redesigned camera module. A concept design shows how Google could go one big step further with the Pixel 10 Pro.

Earlier this month, a redditor claimed that they had a Nintendo Switch 2 engineering sample in-hand, followed by promises to show off pictures of the gaming handheld on Christmas. Those images have now been posted online, and along with questions of their authenticity, the contents are just underwhelming to the community.
