Leaks / Rumors

According to reports, Xiaomi is preparing to launch another member in the Redmi Note 11 series. Billed as the Redmi Note 11R, the smartphone appears to be a re-branded POCO smartphone, underlined by similarities between its specifications and those of the POCO M4 5G.

Two renowned leakers have shared numerous details about the Redmi Pad. Equipped with a 10.61-inch display and a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, the Xiaomi Redmi Pad will launch later this year in multiple colours and with a stylish design. Based on the device's name, the Redmi Pad should be a cheaper option to the Xiaomi Pad 5 series too.

Intel's upcoming Raptor Lake-H mobile parts have made their first appearance on Geekbench. The Core i7-13700H and the Core i9-13900HK were spotted running on a pre-production Samsung laptop. The cache specifications seem to suggest a similar configuration to that of Alder Lake-H. Accordingly, we see only minor single-core gains and similar multi-core figures with Raptor Lake-H parts when compared to their Alder Lake-H predecessors.

Motorola is now projected to have a new Moto G-series of Android smartphones to introduce to the Indian market soon. This "G72" is the subject of new leaks that hint at a design more like that of higher-end 2022 devices from the same OEM, not to mention updated biometrics. Then again, unlike its apparent predecessor, it may only support 4G/LTE.

Apparently, Xiaomi is planning to release another entry-level smartphone under the Redmi A series. Alleged to be the Redmi A1 Plus, the device should have a distinct advantage over the regular model, albeit with the same drawbacks too.

Twitter leaker Majin Bu states that the iPhone 15 Ultra (aka iPhone 15 Pro Max) will ship with two selfie cameras. It will feature a USB Type-C port and at least 256 GB of storage.

Google is a little over a week from launching the Pixel Watch, Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro. While the company has already confirmed the latter's design, many specifications remain unclear.

The Sony PlayStation 5 developer kit has finally been showcased in an in-depth video. Detailing not only the dev kit's hardware, the video also showcases its software and how it differs from a retail PS5.

The US$659.99 i9-13900K may be the first flagship CPU to launch with a lower MSRP compared to AMD's direct competitor. This does not apply to the i5-13600K and i7-13700K models, however, as they appear to be a bit more expensive than AMD's counterparts.

Xiaomi's rumored next-gen Android flagship smartphones might indeed be closer than ever to their projected late-2022 launch, as one of them might have surfaced on the 3C website already. This "13 Pro" may thus have been revealed as having the same charging tech as its predecessor - however, that might still ensure it blasts past most of its potential competition in that regard.

The latest set of specs reveal most of the essentials of the upcoming Google Pixel 7 handset, including a Tensor G2 SoC and a Titan chip, 8 GB of memory and up to 256 GB internal storage, Android 13, 4,700 mAh battery with 30 W fast charging and wireless charging, and more. However, all these are not confirmed by Google yet.

Vivo's impending new foldable Android flagship smartphone the Vivo X Fold Plus (or Fold+) has popped up on the Wireless Power Consortium's website. The new leak links the device to 11 watt (W) wireless charging, which, as its predecessor was rated to charge much faster the same way, is a little odd.

Smartphone OEMs might be pivoting towards under-display camera (UDC) tech to free their future devices from punch-holes, notches or sensor bars of all kinds. Now, Samsung has taken this potential trend particularly far by patenting a screen with dual UDCs. The South Korean giant apparently intends them for use in improved user authentication.

Xiaomi has claimed that it can have its first electric car on the market by 2024. Now, one of its latest patents hint at the latest step in achieving this goal. The OEM's dedicated EV division has invented what could be its answer to systems such as Tesla's Supercharger facilities.

Nothing has officially announced that its second-gen audio accessories will go live as the Ear (stick) buds soon.

The TWS products are already being touted as the ideal companion to the OEM's inaugural Phone (1).

OPPO is already rumored to launch a flagship Android smartphone called the Find X6 Pro in 2023.

The new tip also contains a possible tip said to pertain to the OnePlus 11.

Noctua's response to the imminent release of Ryzen 7000 chipsets mostly consists of an updated compatibility list for its heatsinks. The good news is that a number of the OEM's coolers in circulation can fit to the new CPUs' AM5 socket out of the box. For others that cannot, the Austrian company will once again send out free mounting kits on request.

An appearance by a likely Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra test unit on the 3C certification website has revealed a charging capability that has been met with a mixed response from fans.

OnePlus has now officially announced that the Nord Watch will launch imminently in September 2022. The OEM's second non-band wearable's Apple Watch-like design with a single physical button is currently being hyped via its new Indian-market website.

After the discontinued Audi R8 e-tron did not appeal to too many buyers back in 2015, a true electric successor to the powerful German coupe is rumored to launch in 2025. Supposedly, it could be based on one of Porsche's sophisticated EV platforms that will also power the upcoming generation of the successful Taycan.

New Samsung Galaxy S23 series rumors have suggested that the battery capacities for the upcoming three premium smartphones may not be what fans had hoped for.

ZTE has issued what might be its response to the launch of the iPhone 14 series with one of its own for a smartphone with no kind of display punch-hole at all. It will go live as the Axon 30S later in September 2022, with the same "ultimate screen-to-body ratio" as its flagship counterpart. Its selfie camera-concealing display is said to be AMOLED, even though it may be driven by a mid-tier processor.

The Zen 4-based AMD Ryzen 9 7950X is quite the overclocking monster. One user managed to push it past the 7.0 GHz and 6.0 GHz barriers on the single and multi-core front, shattering all of Zen 3's records by a wide margin.

Wi-Fi 7 is the latest standard in conventional consumer-grade wireless data technology, and as such may start to overtake its 6/6E predecessors as the latest in marketing buzzwords alongside phrases such as 'cutting-edge'.

Although DLSS 3 will be exclusive to the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4000 series, it might become compatible with the RTX 2000 and 3000 series in the future. However, if this happens, those older cards won't get the same benefits as the RTX 4000 (or later) when running DLSS 3-enabled games.

The PN52 successor that launched earlier this year could arrive sooner than expected with processor options that include the Ryzen 5 6600H, Ryzen 7 6800H and Ryzen 9 6900HX, which integrate RDNA2 iGPUs. The USB4 connector is apparently missing from the port selection. There will be barebones models starting at €657, as well as variants pre-configured with RAM and storage starting at €850.

Vivo has now confirmed that it will indeed launch a new Plus version of its top-end X Fold Android smartphone. The OEM has dropped hints as to how this upcoming foldable will look, which is mostly like its immediate predecessor with a new finish option. On the other hand, the Plus model is touted to have additional upgrades, even if they are mostly on the inside.

Key OnePlus 11 Pro specifications have been revealed by a new leak. They include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 50 MP primary camera sensor, 32 MP telephoto lens, 48 MP ultra-wide-angle lens, 16 GB of RAM and a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 100W fast charging.

Vivo has announced that it will launch an X Fold Plus later in 2022. Now, the upcoming foldable Android flagship may have surfaced on the AnTuTu website, 120Hz display driven by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor and all.
