Leaks / Rumors

Huawei has now endorsed rumors that the Nova 12 series will launch soon with a considerably upgraded, updated camera hump. It is integrated into an eye-catching design with "youthful" new colorways, one of which has already been teased in the hands of the smartphones' new celebrity spokesperson ahead of their late December 2023 debut.

It looks like the next couple of years are going to be big for the Apple AirPods lineup with the possible introduction of two new AirPods models, the refreshed AirPods Max, and the AirPods Pro (3rd generation). Mark Gurman, the source behind the information, has also alleged that Cupertino is developing hearing aid functionality for the new AirPods.

A new leak has identified seven official embargo dates relating to NVIDIA's RTX 40 SUPER series refresh. Starting on January 8 and ending on January 31, the same leak also reveals the SKU numbers for the RTX 4070 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and RTX 4080 SUPER.

Honor is not quite ready to release its next generation. Nonetheless, render images of two forthcoming handsets have surfaced online, both with triple camera setups. Seemingly, the pair are the Magic6 Pro and Magic6 Pro Porsche Design, with the latter featuring a more luxurious design than the former.

Hands-on photos of Nothing's next smartphone have leaked online, over two months before its rumoured official reveal. Arriving as Nothing Phone (2a), the device is expected to feature a mix of Nothing Phone (2) hardware like a pair of 50 MP rear-facing cameras, as well as more mid-range components.

The Poco X6 Pro 5G is set for a global release in January, according to a report that refers to internal sources. The smartphone is also likely to have been optimized for a particularly good price/performance ratio.

The Galaxy S24 leaks are slowly becoming a little more substantiated and now also confirm information that was previously not backed up by solid evidence. This applies, for example, to the information on color options and memory options of the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra, which will be launched in the beginning of 2024.

As the latest hands-on photo of the Galaxy S24 Ultra camera shows, comparatively little changes in Samsung's flagships from year to year. A usually quite reliable leaker has put the spotlight on what we can expect from the cameras of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S26 Ultra in the coming years.

The OPPO Find X7 Pro has yet to launch as a new premium Android smartphone, yet has allegedly appeared in another new render in advance. This one contradicts the first such tip attributed to the high-end device, in that it has a considerably different camera hump in this new image. Typical OPPO attributes such as an extra Hasselblad logo are still included, however.

iQOO has confirmed that it will launch the Neo9 and 9 Pro later in December 2023 - however, according to the latest leaks, the premium mid-range Android smartphones will bring an entire ecosystem of products along with them. They are said to include the brand's first round AMOLED display smartwatch, as well as some new wireless earphones.

Google appears to be planning to replace Google Assistant on Pixel phones and launch a Pixel-exclusive new assistant called "Pixie" with the introduction of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. Thanks to Gemini, among other things, it is likely to be much more powerful and personalized and also possible to use on low-power devices such as the Pixel Watch.

Once again, it can be said that Apple is a few years behind trends in the Android world. While Android camera flagships with three or even four 50 MP sensors are no longer unusual, Apple is only very hesitantly approaching this goal. At least one analyst expects the iPhone 17 Pro Max to be on this level by 2025.

iQOO has now confirmed that it will launch the Neo9 series of Android smartphones, and also the date on which this event will occur. However, according to less official sources, that is not all the brand will have to unveil on that day. The Neo9 and Neo9 Pro are tipped to launch alongside a more affordable version of iQOO's current flagship tablet.

Honor has announced that it has a product to launch later in December 2023 - however, it is a tablet rather than a certain upcoming flagship smartphone. Regardless, the Pad 9 is now backed to launch with next-gen "soft light" display technology for enhanced user comfort and, according to a famous leaker, a spec not often seen in its price range.

Motorola is preparing a new entry-level smartphone, which it intends to sell as the Moto G04. Arriving soon in four colour options, the Moto G04 will feature a 16 MP single camera and Motorola's new design language.

A renowned leaker has revealed the Moto G24, a mid-range smartphone that will set between the Moto G14 and Moto G34 in Motorola's new Moto G series. The Moto G24 will be available in at least three colours, all with 50 MP primary cameras.

Early information about a future Nothing smartphone has surfaced online, months before the company's MWC 2024 hardware launch event. Reportedly arriving as the Nothing Phone (2a) and under development as the 'A142', the unreleased smartphone is said to be a return to the mid-range market for Nothing and the company's first reliant on a MediaTek chipset.

A new leak has identified the Moto G34, an unreleased smartphone powered by a 5G chipset. The Moto G34 5G will be available in several colour options and will sport a new rear design language for Motorola's mid-range smartphone series.

MySmartPrice has provided numerous official images for the Moto G24 Power, another unreleased Motorola smartphone. Likely equipped with a larger battery capacity than its Moto G24 counterpart, the Moto G24 Power also lifts from the styling of recent Samsung and Oppo flagship smartphones.

The Z60 Ultra is officially on the way as Nubia's latest flagship Android smartphone for the international market. The brand has confirmed that it will have a "seamless" screen thanks to its OEM's under-display camera (UDC) tech to go with a new 35mm lens for its main 50MP rear camera. Its design and other unique attributes have been confirmed via its pre-launch Chinese social media presence.

Honor has indicated that its upcoming Magic6 series of flagship Android smartphones will have a top-end special edition. Furthermore, the OEM has collaborated with Porsche Design to deliver this premium device. The partners assert that it will become an instant classic on its impending launch.

Some interesting PS5 Pro price speculation has resulted in the potential for Sony to perhaps only introduce a 10-20% price hike over the current PS5 Slim prices for a console that could be capable of offering more than a 30% performance increase. There are expectations that the PlayStation 5 Pro release date could land in September 2024.

The new BIOS updates for the X670 mobos from Asus and ASRock include detailed specs for the upcoming Ryzen 8000G series. ASRock even shows a CPU-Z screen with the Ryzen 7 8700G coupled with 256 GB of DDR5 RAM.

Contrary to rumors, Apple does not have a foldable iPad in "intensive development". However, the plans for iPads with an OLED display are apparently being maintained.

A renowned source has detailed the ROG Phone 8 series, for which ASUS has created ROG Phone 8 and ROG Phone 8 Pro models. While the pair look similar, ASUS appears to have distinguished the pair in at least three areas.

Samsung is said to have brought forward the launch of its own Galaxy Glass AR glasses and, in doing so, it may well have a headstart over Apple and its Apple Vision Pro. The product could also certainly be viewed as a shared project.

According to a new report, Xiaomi has decided to reduce the amount of flagships it offers globally. Surprisingly, the company is alleged to have consigned the Xiaomi 14 Pro to a Chinese exclusive, despite offering the Xiaomi 13 Pro this year.

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is one of the most distinctive devices in the Android smartphone world, because of its unavoidably prominent camera hump and also the rear panel around it. Now, its upcoming successor is rumored to improve on this design in an updated color palette. Their only description thus far can be interpreted as hinting at new materials for these finish options.

The OPPO Find X-series of flagship Android smartphones is due a shake-up in 2024 - according to a new leak, that is. This latest rumor asserts that an Ultra version is coming to join the more traditional vanilla and Pro variants, set apart from them by the OEM's most cutting-edge mobile device technology.

After the official announcement happening at CES '24 on January 8, Nvidia is rumored to spread the release schedule for the RTX 4000 Super cards throughout the remainder of January.

At today's "AI Everywhere" conference, Intel is expected to present the new Intel Core Ultra mobile processors of the Meteor Lake generation. However, Microsoft has already accidentally leaked the names of all models in a support document.

A new mini PC from MECHREVO has appeared on Geekbench. Named MECHREVO iMini Pro, the listing on Geekbench confirmed that it will feature the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor. With this, it will be among the first mini PCs with the Intel Meteor Lake CPU.

The Huawei Nova series of smartphones are now said to overthrow their typical mid-range status with a new Ultra variant packed with flagship-grade features. They include the variable-aperture camera technology heretofore reserved for the OEM's top-end devices, not to mention an OLED display, fast charging and even satellite functionality.

Sony's compact vlog-centric ZV-E10 looks to be readying for an update before the middle of 2024. The new compact camera is rumoured to be based on the tech in the recent A6700. It will likely feature much of the same design as the outgoing model, meaning no EVF and no in-body image stabilisation, although at almost half the price of the A6700.

According to a new report, Samsung will jump aboard the SOS satellite connectivity train with the Galaxy S24 series. No price rises are expected from this year's Galaxy S23 smartphones, though.

According to the latest rumors, the Apple iPhone 16 will receive numerous design adjustments. In addition to the brand-new camera trigger and action button, customers can also expect an adapted camera module that could be optimized for spatial video.

OnePlus already offers relatively inexpensive earphones in the Nord Buds 2, which feature active noise cancellation and particularly large drivers for deep bass. Render images now reveal the fundamentally revised design of the OnePlus Nord Buds 3.

The Intel Meteor Lake processors are right around the corner with an improved iGPU, better efficiency, and a dedicated NPU for handling AI workloads on device. However, the Core Ultra processors could lose the AI race to AMD as the Meteor Lake NPU performance reportedly lags behind the Ryzen 8040 Hawk Point APUs.

Prior reports claimed the upcoming Galaxy S24 Ultra would ditch its 10x zoom lens in favor of a 5x zoom camera. New, conflicting information casts doubts on those reports, however, with the next-gen Samsung flagship now rumored to keep its 10x zoom lens, but deliver a significant upgrade on its second zoom camera.

The first 11 smartphones expected to receive the Xiaomi HyperOS Global software update have been leaked. Unsurprisingly, the list features some big hitters, such as the Xiaomi 13, POCO F5, and Redmi 12. HyperOS is Xiaomi’s replacement for MIUI and will come with better animations, focused notifications, and refreshed home screen icons.

The latest rumour about the next-gen Fujifilm X100V puts previous rumours of a lens upgrade to bed. It now looks like Fujifilm will use the same 23 mm lens from the existing X100V, keeping the 35 mm-equivalent focal length. If true, it also means the next X100 camera will not have optical image stabilisation.

According to new rumors, the PS5 Pro will purportedly feature an AMD Zen 2 CPU core variably clocked at 4.4 GHz, a 60-CU RDNA 3.5 GPU similar to the RX 7800 XT, improved ray tracing, XDNA 2 NPU, and more. The PS5 Pro is rumored to launch in September 2024 and, if indeed true, will be ready to play GTA VI in all its glory.

An early sighting of the POCO M6 5G has surfaced online. Seemingly, the upcoming POCO smartphone will be another Xiaomi Redmi by another name, this time powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6100 Plus chipset.

POCO asserts that it will bring 8GB RAM smartphones within budget for a whole new group of Indian consumers soon. The C65 also boasts a 50MP rear camera hump, finished in a Pastel Design that leaves the viewer in no doubt as to its branding. POCO has set up an exclusive retail partnership to introduce its next "Big Deal" to its new market.

Redmi India has announced that the smartphone also sometimes known as the POCO C65 will launch as the 13C very shortly. It is to be made available in two "Starshine Design" colorways, and will start at less than the equivalent of $100 in its new market (albeit with caveats). In the meantime, it has sneaked onto Geekbench in a leak that might hint at the specs that come with that price-point.

According to a new report, the upcoming Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro will not be reserved for China and will be launched globally. This means that the powerful premium tablet from Xiaomi could also arrive in Europe. The launch is set to take place next year together with the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

Bigger changes than in previous years are in store for Samsung's next foldables, which are expected in mid-2024 as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. According to a Samsung insider, we should expect a foretaste of design innovations that will also become mainstream in the flagship Galaxy S25 generation in 2025.

A brand new One UI 6.1 version has been circulating since this weekend and lots of photos and screenshots provide an idea about the new features and improvements that can be expected on the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra, as well as on older Samsung phones in the future. As expected, the magic word is AI.

It is still unclear when Huawei will actually unveil the P70 series; historically, the new camera flagships have always been launched in spring. In 2024, despite all the problems surrounding Huawei smartphones, things should get exciting again because the camera sensors are getting a shake-up, as several leakers affirm.

Smartphone displays will soon burn our retinas away, as the brightness values advertised in marketing currently only know one direction: upwards. A candidate for a 6000 nits display is said to be the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, and a leaker has provided information about the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro.
