OnePlus' next concept smartphone is slated to be unveiled during MWC 2023.

Adding to his previous leaks about the sales of the RTX 40 GPUs, Tom from Moore’s Law Is Dead now claims that the RTX 4090 boards may become harder to come by as Nvidia is reportedly constricting the supply of the cards in response to poor RTX 4080 sales.

The Chinese safety regulator 3C has approved 2 new devices from OPPO thought to launch as the OEM's next flagship Android smartphones.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has approved OnePlus' latest TWS earbuds for sale in markets such as the US.

Apple has been said to unleash its inaugural mixed-reality headset as early as March 2023.

Then again, it is possible that this might be the better option.

While the upcoming global release of the Xiaomi 13 series may be Xiaomi's current focus, the company will release a slew of other premium phones in the year, and a new leak has now provided insight into Xiaomi's plans—or lack thereof—for the Xiaomi 13S and Xiaomi 13T series.

Tecno asserts that its Phantom V Fold will prove a worthy Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 challenger on its MWC 2023 debut.

The Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Lite and Xiaomi 13 Pro may well be on their way to Europe and other markets, but there is still the final piece of the Xiaomi 13 series puzzle to go. Reportedly, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will look like render images that a leaker has commissioned based on recent leaks.

New iPhones are finally slated to drop proprietary connectors from their 2023 "15 series" onward. However, Apple fans looking forward to enjoying the universal appeal of USB type-C may be disappointed to learn that the Cupertino behemoth allegedly intends to impose its current MFi system on its version of the port. The rumored restrictions might be enforced using similar hardware that keeps the Lightning port in the same walled garden at present.

The Galaxy A34 is allegedly set to launch later in 2023, alongside other devices that might include the non-5G version of the A14.
