Leaks / Rumors

Hyundai's N Vision 74 Rolling Lab has apparently received the go-ahead for production. A Korean news publication claims that Hyundai will announce its production intentions on May 27. The retro-inspired N Vision 74 was a big hit with fans when Hyundai unveiled the concept car back in 2021, and it took a lot of inspiration from the 1974 Pony Coupe.

The OPPO Reno10 Pro Plus (or Pro+) is an upcoming Android smartphone series flagship that will be sold in two different colors, according to a famous leaker. Their latest post also purports to show the device's all-new camera hump, and in the wild this time. It seems to contain a high-end lens type, hinting at a new premium spec for the otherwise mid-range handset.

The Pixel 7a has yet to be announced by Google - however, it already somehow has listings on the online US marketplace Swappa. The popular source of second-hand smartphones has a page for the new mid-range handset, which, furthermore, has multiple listings for allegedly in-hand units. They all drop similar strong hints as to the 7a's specs and color options ahead of their official reveal.

Full European pricing has leaked for the Pixel Tablet, Google's return to releasing tablets after a period of absence. Not only will the Pixel Tablet retail for more than Apple's entry-level iPad, but it will also cost more than the cheapest iPad Air configuration. The Pixel Tablet could prove more versatile thanks to its bundled docking station, though.

A new leak says the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will launch in two models, one with 8 GB VRAM and the other with 16 GB. The former is expected to hit shelves in May, while the latter goes on sale in July.

A well-renowned industry analyst says the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature 6.2x and 6.8x-inch screens (value of x to be revealed later), along with a higher aspect ratio and thinner bezels.

The Vivo X90s is an allegedly upcoming Android smartphone now tipped to be the brand's first to use the equally impending Dimensity 9200 Plus (or 9200+) processor. Its latest leaks also purport to specify Wi-Fi 7, 120W charging and an AMOLED display for the device. However, its status as an interim class-leader might be blown out of the water by a subsequent flagship with an even better chip upgrade.

iQOO's supposedly inaugural Pad is also now tipped to launch as an Android tablet with the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 Plus (or 9000+) SoC. The platform might give the first-gen slate an edge over its potential rivals from OnePlus or even iQOO's own parent company Vivo. On that note, it may also stand to boast a (nearly) unique aspect-ratio and a display with a top refresh rate for its category.

Case designs for the Galaxy Z Flip5 have started appearing online, roughly two months before Samsung is anticipated to announce its fifth-generation foldable. As expected, the Galaxy Z FLip5 has an unusual cover display, with a tabbed look that does not cover all the space available.

All key specifications for the Pixel Tablet are now known, courtesy of a substantial retailer leak. Amazon Japan has not only confirmed more specifications about the Pixel Tablet, but it has also showcased availability and launch pricing.

HTC's upcoming addition to its U series of smartphones is tipped to launch with what might be the highest-end collection of specs the once-iconic Android brand has gotten together as of late. Then again, they are still distinctly sub-flagship in nature, depicted as packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7-series chipset and a relatively pedestrian battery capacity into an arguably last-gen build.

Apple is once again tipped to produce its inaugural Ultra-class iPhone in 2023, with this alleged new 15-series flagship turning up in dummy form on a popular tech YouTube channel. It may be slightly narrower and thicker than the 14 Pro Max it is tipped to replace, and also incorporate all of the subtle rumored updates that could make it the most significant upgrade for several generations - except for one.

The Galaxy S23 - or, perhaps even its long-awaited, allegedly upcoming Fan Edition varient - is now slated to launch in a new color, likely to be dubbed Lime, soon. However, it seems the new choice of finish is exclusive to one market in which the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy-powered vanilla flagship is sold: India. The OEM has hinted that it will be available "soon".

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is likely to sport a 3.4-inch cover display with a 720p resolution. The larger screen estate could mean added functionality and more capable widgets than what is currently possible with the Galaxy Z Flip4.

The Realme 11 Pro Plus (or Pro+) is scheduled to unleash ultra-high-res rear cameras with the premium design upgrade to match on the sub-flagship Android smartphone market in China soon. Now, according to a new leak, it will also do so in India thereafter, having secured the necessary certifications to be sold in that market.

Huawei's most up-to-date Mate 50 premium candy-bar smartphones feature what is arguably the plainest iteration of its series' "Star Ring" rear camera hump yet. Their successors, however, are now backed to upgrade to a more elaborate, potentially more appealing, version that may draw comparisons between the device's rear panels and a popular snack food.

A major French retailer has revealed Google's plans to offer a pair of Pixel Buds as a pre-order bonus for early Pixel 7a orders. The retailer appears to have confirmed when pre-orders will open and close, too.

Ford will open up orders for the F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck on May 9, 2024. No reservation will be required, and customers can place an order online or at their local Ford dealership with a deposit securing the order. Not all is rosy, though, as Ford has sold out of the 2023 F-150 Pro trim, and dealership allocation is limited.

Another Sony Xperia 1 V price leak has appeared, with a price mentioned for the Chinese market. The figure suggests there could be a generational price cut to be enjoyed for Xperia fans in China, but it will be a big surprise if Sony offers the Xperia 1 V at a cheaper price than the Xperia 1 IV globally. A tempting bundle offer might be the most realistic thing for global model buyers to hope for.

Honor is now said to have a second-gen foldable flagship Android smartphone in the works. The successor to the Magic V is tipped to launch with a high-quality "custom" main display and, furthermore, to blow its competition away with a battery of an unusually large size for its form-factor. Then again, its closest rival might have the edge on it in other ways.

Vivo is now believed to have a new smartphone called the X90s in the works. Should that be the case, it should join the brand's most up-to-date line of 'mobile photography flagships' on its launch. It is slated to have the exact same specs as the pre-existing X90 thus far - with one potentially significant difference.

The Fairbuds XL has leaked again, courtesy of Roland Quandt and WinFuture. Apparently, Fairphone plans to launch the Fairbuds XL within the next few weeks for €249 in two colour options, both with recycled plastic cases.

The OPPO Reno10 series is thought to be unleashed with a dramatic change in terms of design compared to their late-2022 predecessors. A series of new, high-quality images associated with the Pro member of this supposedly upcoming Android mid-rangers purport to confirm this update. The renders may also hint at a potentially significant difference between this variant and the most premium Pro+ model.

New details about the Pixel 7a have emerged online, courtesy of a hands-on preview with a retail model. Surprisingly, the Pixel 7a is 25 g heavier than the Pixel 6a, despite having a nominally smaller battery capacity.

Apparently, Logitech is preparing to launch a new edition in its MX Anywhere series. Dubbed the MX Anywhere 3S, the new wireless mouse is rumoured to feature a more precise sensor than its predecessor, while retaining its overall feature set.

European and UK pricing for the Pixel 7a has leaked online, less than a week away from the device's anticipated launch during Google I/O 2023. As expected, the Pixel 7a will be more expensive than the Pixel 6a, which is rumoured to be sticking around for another year. With Google now discounting the Pixel 7 in some markets, it seems that there will be little separating from the nominally less Pixel 7a.

The Radeon RX 7600 and the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti are reportedly going to be the newest additions to the next-gen GPU race from AMD and NVIDIA respectively. According to a recent listing by EEC, both cards feature 8 GB of VRAM.

The Realme 11 Pro Plus (or Pro+) is already touted as the first mid-range smartphone that will combine Xiaomi 13 Ultra looks and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra-esque camera performance. Its new alleged specs leak puts the emphasis on "mid-range", though, hinting at the inclusion of the latest affordable-grade mobile processor from MediaTek. Then again, it may have a healthy amount of RAM and a more or less up-to-date OS on its debut.

Reportedly, Huawei plans to host a big launch event later this month. According to the same leaker, Huawei will use the event to showcase the long-awaited Watch 4 series, as well as various laptops like a 2023 refresh of the MateBook X Pro. Huawei could also introduce the MatePad Air, among other tablets.

European pricing information for the ASUS ROG Ally has surfaced online. While ASUS' gaming handheld will rival the Steam Deck in the US, it is alleged to be nearly 17-90% more expensive than Valve's gaming handheld, with no cheaper Ryzen Z1 models available at launch.

Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake CPUs are expected to share the “15th gen” moniker as the former will allegedly only target the mainstream Core i5 buyers while the enthusiasts will be served by the latter. According to a recent leak from RedGamingTech, the P-cores on Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake CPUs will bring a single-digit and up to 20% IPC gain vs Intel Raptor Lake respectively.

Full specifications for the Razr 40 Ultra have leaked online. While the device is Motorola's next-generation foldable, it will contain several hardware downgrades from last year's Razr.

Paul from RedGamingTech is at it again with another round of leaks concerning AMD’s Zen 5 processors that are expected to debut sometime in 2024. Per the leaker, the Ryzen 8000 CPUs could bring north of 25% IPC uplift, a larger L1, 1 MB L2, and a new “Ladder” L3 cache.

According to reports, Apple is considering releasing an even more powerful iPad Pro tablet, which will also be significantly larger than recent 12.9-inch models. Dubbed the iPad Pro Max or the iPad Ultra, the tablet is rumoured to feature a 14.1-inch display and an Apple M3 Pro chipset. The device is thought to be the closest alternative to a MacBook yet, in part thanks to Apple porting many macOS features to iPadOS.

Google is a few days away from officially presenting the Pixel 7a, which will slot in between the Pixel 6a and Pixel 7. The company has now confirmed the device's impending release, but a comprehensive leak has revealed all key specifications, including how the Pixel 7a differs from its predecessor.

Google's first foldable smartphone is expected to land later this week, with an I/O 2023 presentation due alongside the Pixel 7a and the Pixel Tablet. In the meantime, the FCC has certified the Pixel Fold for release in the US, confirming the presence of a UWB chip and two models.

Carl Pei's tech brand Nothing has indicated that its current Phone (1) flagship will be among the first non-Pixel smartphones to land an official Android 14 preview. The device may thus be in a good position to develop a fully-stable upgrade to the current Nothing OS based on Android 13 as soon as possible, despite the OEM's relatively small market share and reach thus far.

It appears that NVIDIA is close to releasing the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, its next mid-range graphics card. Inexplicably, NVIDIA has configured the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti with 8 GB VRAM, which may hamper performance in some modern games. Allegedly, the card's release may only be a few weeks away.

According to a new report, Google may end the Pixel A-Series on a high with the Pixel 7a. Instead, Google could pivot to just selling flagship smartphones, with regular, Pro and foldable offerings going forwards.

Sony is less than two weeks from introducing its next flagship Xperia smartphone. In the meantime, a billboard in Hong Kong appears to confirm the device as the Xperia 1 V, revealing the smartphone's design and focus on camera performance in the process.

It appears that Samsung is finally ready to move on from tiny cover displays in its clamshell foldables. Based on various Galaxy Z Flip5 renders, Samsung will adopt a generously-sized cover display as it looks to see of competition from the likes off Oppo, Vivo and Motorola.

A new leak says the Exynos 2500/Dream Team chip will feature a 10-core CPU with 4 Cortex-X5, 2 Cortex-A730 and 4 Cortex-A520 cores in a 1+3+2+4 configuration.

A leak from Weibo says the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scores 2,723 and 7,525 in Geekbench 6's single and multi-core tests. In AnTuTu V9, the AP allegedly scores 1,712,271 points.

Amazon Canada has outlined all key details about the TicWatch Pro 5, Mobvoi's first Wear OS 3-powered smartwatch. Equipped with the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 platform and 2 GB of RAM, the TicWatch Pro 5 will contain numerous changes from the TicWatch Pro 3, as well as many of its predecessor's popular features.

Samsung is preparing to release the Galaxy Z Fold5 later this year, likely alongside the Galaxy Z Flip5. In the meantime, a renowned leaker has shared high-resolution renders, a 360-degree video of the Galaxy Z Fold5, and dimensions comparing the upcoming foldable against the current Galaxy Z Fold4.

Apple is now tipped to launch a major update to watchOS that revives the Glances feature from an earlier version. The rumored switch from apps to iPhone 14-style widgets is backed to make the "Watch X" (or "series 9") more intuitive and convenient to use. The potentially substantial software upgrade is thought to distract from minimal health-tracking feature updates, however.

The Mate X3 is now one of the world's most premium foldable smartphones, yet still falls behind the older Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 with a visible punch-hole in its main flexible OLED display. Things might be different for its successor, though, thanks to the alleged discovery of a new Huawei prototype with the latest under-display camera (UDC) panel from BOE and ZTE.

Update: Leaker has now shared the first photo of the Pixel Fold's internal display.
Official photos of the Pixel Fold have leaked online, courtesy of Evan Blass. Sporting a wider cover display than the Galaxy Z Fold4, the Pixel Fold also lacks the full-width camera bar of the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro.

MediaTek has announced a launch date for its latest flagship-grade mobile SoC, possibly to be presented in partnership with the gaming smartphone brand iQOO. The world's first Dimensity 9200 Plus-powered device may have been spotted on Geekbench, blowing even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 out of the water with unprecedented single-core scores.

Tecno is said to have developed a highly distinctive camera hump for its upcoming Camon 20 series of Android smartphones. It is also now said to consist of vanilla and Pro variants as well as the 20 Premier flagship. They may fall into a sub-US$300 bracket on their launch to their initial market, with slight compromises on what is still expected of a good mid-range device in 2023.
