It is backed to start a "tiny revolution" later in June 2023.

OnePlus has dropped the strongest hints yet as to the launch date of its upcoming third-gen Nord-series flagship smartphone.

A camo-wrapped Cybertruck prototype has been spotted, indicating that the design is final. It appears that many of the issues that were still present at the previous Tesla Investor Day sighting have been resolved, but the presence of a round steering wheel is bound to raise some eyebrows. The Cybertruck should head into early production any day, now.

If recent rumours about Sony's roadmap are anything to go by, the next iteration to its A7C compact hybrid camera line-up will arrive sooner rather than later, with a Q3 2023 release seeming somewhat likely. Rumours put the release date of the A7C Mark II between the upcoming A6700 and A9 III, and the proposed spec sheet reveals some compelling upgrades over its predecessor.

In choosing an official product name for its "first spatial computer", Apple apparently blanked on the fact that another major electronics OEM also calls its flagship AR glasses the "Vision" series.

An engineering report centring on an early CyberTruck design was leaked, revealing that the electric pickup truck started life with elementary automotive design flaws, from a leaky cabin to shoddy brakes and terrible steering.

Kamila Wojciechowska has revealed full camera details for the Pixel 8, as well as its Pixel 8 Pro sibling. The same leaker has hinted at some of the features headed to this autumn's Tensor G3-based smartphones too.

A new side-by-side comparison of three allegedly upcoming premium foldable Android smartphones shows that the OPPO Find N3 will upgrade to its OEM's latest top-end camera hump, whereas putative peers the Honor Magic V2 and Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 will not.

The FCC has published initial documentation for two of Samsung's next-generation flagship tablets.

Samsung's tradition of launching ultra-premium versions of its latest foldable smartphones as Chinese-market exclusives is now thought to continue in 2023 with the new "W24" series.

Additionally, Paul has confirmed that the RTX 50 Blackwell GPUs will follow the release pattern of previous GeForce launches.

However, according to a new leak, that bug has finally been squashed.

Samsung has reportedly confirmed that it will push the annual Galaxy Unpacked event for premium devices such as the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5 forward to July in 2023, as opposed to its traditional early-August window. Now, according to some new leaks, this may be due to the launch specifically for the US and Canadian markets that will be occupying that time-slot this year.
