Leaks / Rumors

Samsung will launch the Galaxy S24 series in the first quarter of 2024. According to a new leak, the range-topping Galaxy S24 Ultra will arrive with a titanium frame, not at all dissimilar to what has been rumored for Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Xiaomi has announced that it will debut a 5G version of its affordable "Style Icon", the Redmi 12, in India soon. It is slated to have the largest display among the brand's Android smartphones yet, and to have dual rear cameras with a 50MP main camera. It will launch via Amazon.in as one of the site's Specials soon.

Sony's alleged quest to make wireless earbuds that match the PlayStation 5 (PS5) may have reached a pivotal stage, which would be their approval for sale by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The US regulator has also given their "USB Transceiver" (no prizes for guessing why that is a thing) a pass for launch alongside them.

Nvidia seems to have internally shelved plans of launching the RTX 4090 Ti with 18,176 CUDA cores, likely because there is no real threat to the RTX 4090's dominance from AMD. Instead, the company could introduce new RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 refreshes. We are also getting to know that the upcoming RTX 50 Blackwell could very well use a 512-bit memory interface.

Samsung's first gen "Galaxy Ring" could have a release date set in 2024 - so long as it goes into mass production soon. The South Korean giant is said to make a decision as to do so or not in August 2023, which might affect the Galaxy Watch series' new in-house rival's chances of being ready to go to retail by then. Meanwhile, the accessory is said to have potential VR use-cases as well as those of an advanced fitness-tracking device.

Recent Nikon certification documentation indicates that the Japanese camera maker plans to release one more camera before the end of 2023. This time, it appears to be a retro-styled full-frame mirrorless body or an update to its popular Z6 II. Although specifications are as yet unknown, the rumoured price of between US$2,000 and US$2,500 is tantalising.

Predictions of a 2023 launch for a smartphone called the Xiaomi 13T Pro have been all but vindicated with a new discovery. It consists of a certification by the Thai regulator NBTC for a device of that name. It also validates an additional detail featuring in previous leaks.

OPPO's next top-end foldable smartphone is all but certain to launch as the Find N3 in China - and as the OnePlus Open elsewhere - in 2023. It is also now tipped to have the best zoom lens in its category for the year, beating rivals such as the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 in these terms. The Find N3 is also now slated to beat the Z Fold5 in another important aspect of premium foldable specs as well.

Realme has now confirmed that it will launch the GT5 as its next "God of War"-class Android smartphone soon. It is now also tipped to live up to this hype with up to 24GB of RAM to go with its up-to-240W charging speeds. The new vanilla flagship's SoC has also reportedly been confirmed in advance of its launch.

The Huawei Mate 50 is now thought to have a successor that might look much the same from the front. From the rear, however, the Mate 60 might drop the stove-top camera hump of yesteryear for an updated alternative. It is also thought to have a feature that is growing increasing rare among smartphones these days.

A PlayStation 5 Pro specs prediction has resulted in a console that would be more than twice as powerful than the current revisions of the PS5 in some processes. The original poster has reckoned on 23+ TFLOPs of graphics processing performance for the Pro model where the original manages with 10 TFLOPs. An optimistic PS5 Pro price prediction has also been offered.

A new rumor about the PlayStation 5 has turned up on social media, with a couple of details being offered about what could end up being the PlayStation 5 Slim console. According to the source, a new PS5 model will be treated to an APU that is based on the efficient 5 nm manufacturing process. This in turn will apparently negate the requirement for a liquid metal thermal conductor.

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.

A new leak from Kopite7kimi says the GeForce RTX 5090 could feature a 512-bit memory bus. The graphics card is due to launch sometime in 2025. It is said be manufactured on TSMC's 3 nm node and feature GDDR7 memory.

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 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.

According to a report, Google plans to offer the Pixel Watch 2 with only an aluminium housing. Succeeding the current stainless steel model, the Pixel Watch 2 should be lighter but more susceptible to scratching and less durable overall.

A new financial report from a Chinese-language media site has once again offered up a tasty morsel about the potential Nintendo Switch 2 release date period. This time around, a “Japanese game console” or “Japanese game machine” is mentioned, but evidence in the article points to this being the Switch 2 or next-generation Nintendo Switch.

Rumour has it that Sony is slated to release two new mirrorless cameras within the next two months. Along with an updated A7C II, expected to arrive with the A7 IV's 33-MP BSI CMOS sensor, Sony will allegedly also launch the A7C R as a high-resolution version of its video-focussed A7C compact full-frame camera.

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.

According to a report, Microsoft has settled on an early autumn release for the Surface Laptop Studio 2. Likely debuting alongside the Surface Go 4 and the Surface Pro 10, the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is said to retain its predecessor's design while adding Raptor Lake-H processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs. Microsoft is said to have made other changes too, but there will be AMD APU or larger options.

WAU CYBER is being touted as "the world's most powerful" e-bike in advance of its launch, which will be done via crowdfunding. Its makers assert that it will also look more electric than every other vehicle on its market thus far. It is also backed to have "more features" than its competition and, furthermore, to have its own Founder's Edition.

The Intel Arrow Lake CPUs could be the first products to use technologies proposed by Jim Keller’s Royal Core project if the latest leak from Moore’s Law Is Dead is accurate. The leaker also claims that Team Blue could eliminate Hyper-Threading from ARL chips completely. However, despite the removal of HT, the flagship ARL chip could still end up trouncing the top Raptor Lake SKU by 40%+.

Rumour has it that Panasonic is just about ready to replace its flagship Lumix G9 Micro Four Thirds camera, with the updated compact camera allegedly inheriting some of the most impressive features of the full-frame Lumix S5 II. An exact release date is still unknown, but the new M4/3 camera is likely to launch before the end of 2023.

The would-be next-generation Nintendo Switch leakers have hit Twitter hard recently, with rumors turning up in at least three different and tenuous accounts. Supposed Switch 2 specs have been posted, along with information, including a price limit, about a Nintendo Switch Next. If that wasn’t enough, a regular contributor to the Switch 2 rumor mill has had more to say about the Joy-Con 2.

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.

A leaker has outlined the many variants of the Galaxy Tab S9 series that Samsung plans to offer in Europe. Not only has @billbil_kun also confirmed pricing for the Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9 Plus and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, but they have also outlined pricing for the three tablets' official accessories.

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.

Sony is on the cusp of introducing the WF-1000XM5, the long-awaited successor to the WF-1000XM4. Full specifications for the upcoming earbuds have now surfaced online, thanks to another retailer leak.

A reference to what seems like an AMD Zen 5 Ryzen 8050 Strix Point APU with 12 cores has been spotted on the MilkyWay@Home computing project. Details of the APU are not entirely clear, but rumors so far indicate up to a 45 W TDP, a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, and 24 MB unified L3 cache.

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.

As Tesla finalises the Cybertruck's testing and validation stages, footage has emerged of the electric pickup with an all-new digital camo wrap. It's unclear whether these wild colour schemes we've seen the Cybertruck wearing in recent sightings will be available for purchase, but they've certainly generated quite a din among fans of the vehicle.

Project Q, Sony's first handheld after the PS Vita, is confirmed to use a non-detachable controller. It also runs a heavily-modded version of Android. Sony is expected to launch it later in 2023.

Hong Kong-based ArtraLab has revealed that it will soon be expanding its handsome, retro-themed NONIKKOR lens line-up with a 24 mm f/1.7 pancake lens for both Micro Four Thirds and Nikon Z-mount cameras. The YouTube video that makes mention of the lenses suggests that the Z-mount version will be particularly suited for Nikon's APS-C cameras, like the Zfc.

More renders of the Sony WF-1000XM5 have been leaked by a well-known source along with the supposed prices of the earbuds for the US and Europe markets. The WF-1000XM5 truly wireless headphones are shown off in both black and silver, with the images including the cases in both open and closed states.

According to a new report from a previously reliable source, Sony is developing the PlayStation 5 Pro under the codename Trinity with considerably faster RAM and an overhauled GPU. Likely featuring as many Compute Units as an AMD Radeon RX 6800, the same source has also outlined a release window for Sony's next Pro console, among other details.

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 arrival of the Osmo Action 4 is around the corner, with DJI having teased a July 25 release. With specifications leaking earlier this week, leaker @Quadro_News has now provided US pricing for the action camera's Adventure and Standard Combo packages.

Intel designed the NUC Extreme mini PCs to accommodate high-end desktop-grade processors, but this might not be the case anymore, as the Meteor Lake models equipping the rumored Asus NUC Extreme only include laptop-grade cores.

Sony is on the verge of releasing the WF-1000XM5, its next-generation replacement for the WF-1000XM4. Although the company will not launch the WF-1000XM5 until next week, a European retailer has already listed the earbuds on its website, confirming its launch price in the process.

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.

Toyota has applied for new trademarks in the European Union Intellectual Property Office, and the naming scheme indicates that the trademarks may be related to at least one upcoming electric Lexus three-row SUV. If the new electric three-row SUV follows in its ICE and PHEV counterparts' footsteps, we should be seeing a pretty boxy design with pseudo-station-wagon looks.

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.

AMD is expected to release the RX 7800 and RX 7700 in September. The cards which could possibly be the last RDNA 3 offerings allegedly feature the mid-range Navi 32 GPU. According to recent 3DMark Time Spy Graphics figures reported by leaker All_The_Watts, the RX 7800 and RX 7700 could outpace the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 Ti respectively.

A known tipster has seemingly sparked huge speculation on social media that Sony is just about ready to spring the PlayStation 5 Slim (PS5 Slim) on its legions of fans.
