The first protective cases for the successors to the Xperia 1 V and Xperia 5 VI have appeared on Chinese online marketplace Taobao. This is somewhat surprising in the case of the Xperia 5 VI, as it was recently declared as cancelled. At least in terms of camera design, the cases seem to follow the look of the predecessors.

Samsung is expected to expand its foldable lineup this year with the addition of a third variant. The new phone could rock the form factor of the Galaxy Z Fold6 while commanding a much lower price. New information out of Korea has now revealed the possible price of the cheaper Galaxy Z Fold6.

Recent rumors and leaks suggest Meta will release a budget version of its VR headset. Currently known as either the Meta Quest 3 Lite or Meta Quest 3S, the new headset looks like a stripped-down version of the Meta Quest 3.

Sony may be planning a bumper 2024 that could go beyond the releases of the Xperia 1 VI, Xperia 5 VI and Xperia 10 VI. Based on a recent leak, the company could also have its first Xperia 3 smartphone in the pipeline, although its alleged teaser is cryptic enough to have multiple meanings.

It seems that Motorola has developed yet another Moto G series smartphone, following the release of the Moto G04, Moto G24 and others earlier this year. Surprisingly, the new Motorola handset carries over plenty of features from last year's Moto G54 5G.

Apple will likely reveal the Watch X this fall with a new blood pressure monitoring tool. The report comes from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg and is supported by earlier rumors.

It appears as though Leica intends to replace the aging D-Lux 7 camera with a new iteration to combat the rise of Fujifilm's X100VI. Speculation about the new camera suggests that an APS-C sensor will replace the Panasonic-based Micro Four Thirds design of the old D-Lux 7.

A rumour from Naver says the 2025-bound Galaxy S25 will supposedly feature a 6.36-inch screen. The change comes four generations after the Galaxy S20 debuted with a 6.2-inch screen instead of the 6.1-inch panel found on the Galaxy S10.

Samsung's Electro-Mechanics division has developed the camera every auto manufacturer is going to want as part of their next-gen vehicles, according to the latest reports. The potentially crucial module is backed to last up to six longer than those in the market and work in all weathers, yet boast the latest "hybrid" lens for in-car cameras.

Apple's popular vehicle-control feature is already tipped to evolve into "the ultimate iPhone experience in the car" in its next generation. However, it is also now believed to convert into the ultimate full in-car OS thereafter. Can the Cupertino giant salvage all of its automotive R&D investment with this alleged new move?

Sony's Xperia smartphones occupy a specific niche as one of the very few 21:9 aspect ratio devices in the Android world.

The upcoming 1 VI flagship is rumored to keep the typical Xperia camera hump, yet may launch as something more like a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in terms of footprint nonetheless.

Information on the chipsets that will power the upcoming Poco F6 and Poco F6 Pro have now been revealed, indicating a rather peculiar situation in which the cheaper Poco F6 could actually deliver better CPU performance than the more premium Poco F6 Pro.

OnePlus has officially announced that its upcoming Ace 3V will be a world first, in that it will introduce a new Snapdragon 7-series SoC to the Android smartphone market. The chipset is touted to pack the "core advantages" of its top-end 8-series counterparts. They include "flagship AI capabilities" alongside potentially segment-leading power-efficiency and gaming proficiency.

Huawei has officially announced the Band 9, its next fitness tracker and replacement for last year's Band 8. Although the company has implored its fans to 'stay tuned' for the fitness tracker's release, a reliable leaker has already shared various promotional images while also highlighting the lack of differences between the two devices.

According to new rumours, Samsung is preparing to launch three Galaxy Watch7 models this year. Supposedly, the Galaxy Watch7, Galaxy Watch7 Classic and Galaxy Watch7 Pro are all in development with the same more powerful chipset than the Exynos W930 inside the Galaxy Watch6 and Galaxy Watch6 Classic.

The PS5 Pro appears to be a massive improvement vs the PS5 with a GPU that could bring an over 3x TFLOP increase in addition to a whopping 2 to 4 times better ray racing performance according to the latest leak from Moore’s Law Is Dead. The leak also reveals key details regarding the PS5 Pro’s custom image upscaling tech.

Fujifilm apparently has no plans to kill the Fujifilm X-E or X-Pro camera lines just yet, citing the need for a camera that delivers a “pure photography” experience that the X100VI and X-T cameras don't provide. Updates to the X-E4 and X-Pro3 will likely include much of the same hardware as the X100VI with the added benefits of an X-Mount.

Xiaomi is probably working on a new tablet for its Redmi brand, which is likely to be positioned above the Redmi Pad and the Redmi Pad SE. Hints have emerged about the Redmi Pad Pro, which will probably come with a keyboard cover and smart pen.

in 2022, game developer Netmarble announced that it was working on a mobile MMO in the GoT universe. Since then, fans have heard nothing more about it, so you might think the game has disappeared into oblivion again. According to the latest information, however, this does not seem to be the case.

OnePlus is currently gearing up to launch the Nord CE4 as its next Android smartphone for markets such as Europe. The OEM has shown the device off from the back, but not the front, thus far; however, a famous leaker now purports to have spoiled further teasers using the Chinese version of the same device, the Ace 3V. The new tip might also confirm the presence of a brand signature feature normally reserved for higher-end devices.

The Pova 6 is shaping up to launch as an Android 14 smartphone with the same high-capacity battery with upgraded charging, and, perhaps, the same Ultra-Slim Bezel screen as its recently-launched Pro sibling. Then again, some compromises have been made to render it the vanilla variant of its series.

It seems the Realme 12 series of mid-range Android smartphones has one more thing to add before the end of 2024, and that would be its final, possibly most affordable, variant. The 12x is all but confirmed to land in a new tip that hints at specs such as the same SoC as its higher-end sibling.

A renowned Nvidia leaker has shared some information about the GB203 and GB205 GPUs powering the GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5070. The former will allegedly launch with a 256-wide bus and the latter with a 192-bit interface.

Ross Young, a well-renowned display analyist, has confirmed the Pixel Fold 2 is due to launch later this year. Both its primary and cover displays will be remarkably larger than the original.

A new leak has now corroborated previous reports about the identity of the Poco F6. Like its elder sibling, the Poco F6 Pro, the vanilla Poco looks set to a rebadge of another Xiaomi device, albeit one currently unreleased.

It may not just be one Snapdragon X Elite for everyone, as Qualcomm recently tried to have us believe. Since the latest driver leak, we now know that there are at least eight different variants, four of which are not named Snapdragon X Elite but Snapdragon X Plus. This certainly indicates different price levels and configurations.

For the first time in what feels like forever, Samsung is planning to change the main camera in the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+, according to a leaker's sources. What is also exciting about the change is that Samsung apparently intends to use a Sony sensor instead of its own ISOCELL sensors.

The Geekbench 6 multi-core performance of the Apple A18 Pro has leaked with a score that is not a whole lot different than the Apple A17 Pro. However, what should be a cause for concern is that the leaked A18 Pro performance could potentially put the chip far behind both the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and the Dimensity 9400.

The powerful 8.8-inch Lenovo Legion Y700 (2023) Android tablet is expected to be released on non-Chinese shores as the Lenovo Legion Tab. While no official release date or price tags have been offered yet, there is some evidence to suggest that the Legion Y700 (2023)/Legion Tab will be coming soon but at a high price point.
