Leaks / Rumors

Camouflaged Tesla Cybertruck prototypes have once again been spotted out in the wild — this time in the frozen test facilities of the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds. The Cybertruck was spotted doing both ice and snow testing, with a playful drift session taking place thereafter. As is to be expected, the Cybertruck's four-wheel-drive system conducts itself impressively, even if there does seem to be some understeer.

More details about the DJI Air 3 have appeared online. Not only has the FCC published initial documentation for the drone and its two launch remote controllers, but leakers have found pictures of the drone's camera and retail packaging.

Xiaomi is now slated to take its current Pad 6 series to the "Max", in at least 1 sense of the word. The possibly super-sized variant is thought to join its vanilla and Pro siblings on the Android tablet soon, with its own first-party keyboard dock to boot. The accessory has now been certified as a Bluetooth accessory, presumably in preparation for its launch.

According to an anonymous Chinese source, Nvidia appears to use the same anti-competitive tactics that made the GeForce Partner Program so infamous. On top of reportedly getting delayed to sometime in 2024, Intel's Arc Battlemage GPUs might also face supply issues if Nvidia has its way.

MLID is back with a new report on Intel's Arc Battlemage status and it looks like there are fair chances to see this series launched sometime in 2024. However, the performance target of the top G10 die that was supposed to beat Nvidia's RTX 4080 has meanwhile been nerfed a few times and it might not even beat the RTX 4070 if it ever launches.

It appears that Xiaomi is in the final stages of developing the Xiaomi 13T Pro, which is rumoured to be available in some markets as the Redmi K60 Ultra. Sporting a MediaTek Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset and 16 GB of RAM, the Xiaomi 13T Pro will seemingly launch in September with Android 13, not Android 14.

Another chunk of alleged Nintendo Switch 2 information has hit the notorious 4chan site, with the kind of details that will excite any who are nervously awaiting an announcement for the next-gen console.

Tesla's much-embattled Cybertruck electric pickup truck has been spotted out for testing yet again, this time giving onlookers a clear look at what the rear light bar will look like. Consensus on current Cybertruck pre-production test mules is that Tesla has either finalised the design or is close to finalising it. It's likely that Tesla had to include the light bar to comply with US regulations, and Elon Musk has previously confirmed that the light bar will be present on the final production model.

Intel’s 13th gen Raptor Lake CPUs are soon to be followed by the 14th gen Refreshed Raptor Lake parts if leaks are any indication.

The listings confirm that the Phone (2) will launch with Android 13, too.

A new rumour now hints that the a6700 will ship with 6K video chops, setting it up as a competent vlogging camera.

The Realme GT Neo5 (or GT3) switched to a transparent look for its rear camera hump on its early 2023 debut.

It might also have the specs to match - albeit without the class-leading charging spec of the Neo5.

Volkswagen has taken more than a little flak for its design choices when it comes to the ID.7 Tourer.

A new, and hard to believe, leak about a Nintendo Switch 2 dev kit has started making the rounds on social media and gaming forums. The source of the information is as spurious as a source can get, although there has been some defense offered because of a user function tie-in with a patent from Nintendo’s past.

An alleged Nintendo Switch 2 dev kit leak has turned up on Twitter that has YouTubers and fans alike wildly speculating on the theme of the next-generation Switch console.

OPPO is now said to have secured an advanced display panel from Samsung for a successor to its current Find X6 Pro flagship smartphone.

A tentative rumour suggests that a new Sony camera other than the A6700 will be launched in the start of 2024.
