Samsung's alleged Galaxy S22 Ultra is thought to get a major overhaul in terms of its looks in early 2022. Now, the latest word on its possible vanilla and Plus counterparts corroborate others that suggest they will get considerably less of the same treatment. The phones' latest renders hint at how that may work out in real life.

Lenovo could be launching a new ThinkBook Plus upgrade featuring a color touchscreen tablet display within the keyboard deck instead of opting for an e-ink display on the lid like the current iteration. Specs and launch dates of the upcoming ThinkBook Plus are not currently available.

Royole was an early adopter of foldable phablet technology, although it may have been overtaken by other OEMs such as Samsung since then. Now, a new leak alleges that the company will be back in this market again with a new device that will depart from its FlexPai predecessors with a snappier new moniker. Then again, it may be less than next-gen in some aspects.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo is one of the most interesting 15.6-inch gaming laptops out there, thanks to its innovative dual-screen set-up. Now, a famous leaker claims that a possible successor or second variant for this machine is coming, with a different screen size this time around. It may or may not arrive alongside new TWS earbuds to match its branding.

Xiaomi is tipped to launch two new devices soon. While the leak fails to specify which devices those are, the provided specs and feature hint heavily at devices based on the Xiaomi Civi that was launched a while ago in China.

A noted leaker has been offering up a wealth of details about a potential 2022 Apple iMac Pro that would be fitted with a choice between the M1 Pro and M1 Max processors. The supposed iMac Pro with Apple Silicon would also sport an HDMI port and possibly be priced at a surprising level. However, it seems only a medium-sized 27-inch option is on the cards right now.

Xiaomi will launch the Xiaomi 12 series in the near future and a new leak has now provided information about the line-leading Xiaomi 12 Ultra model. Apparently, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be equipped with a newer sensor that should deliver significantly improved telephoto capabilities.

Lenovo will debut its new high-end tablet for its domestic market, China, in a few days from now.

In more concrete pre-launch tips, the OEM has revealed that it will come with a custom magnetic keyboard dock.

OPPO has taken to launching Pro and Pro+ models alongside a vanilla variant when it comes to unveiling new Reno-series smartphones. Now, a new leak alleges that the OEM is going to shake this scheme up with their upcoming next generation. The line is said to get an SE edition for the first time.

This model appears to be based on the same GA103 die that was leaked back in June with the Lenovo ThinPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 laptops. It is rumored to launch at CES next year with 7680 CUDA cores and up to 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM.

A Twitter user managed to get his hands on the JioPhone Next's retail box. It confirms many of the phone's key specs, such as a 5.7-inch HD+ screen, Qualcomm 215 SoC, 3GB RAM, 13MP rear camera and a 3,500mAh battery. One will have to pay Rs 1,999 (US$27) for the phone upfront and the remaining amount over eighteen or twenty-four months.

If implemented, Volkswagen's alleged plans to produce the European units of the Volkswagen ID.6 electric SUV in China would most likely lead to job cuts in its home country of Germany, where such considerations would certainly be heavily criticized.

The next Galaxy S-series top-end model is slated to be a ground-breaking phone in a number of respects, even for its premium line. Now, an eminent leaker asserts that the South Korean giant has broken a specific record in developing a display for this flagship device. The feature in question is now projected to beat even the Galaxy Z Fold3 in these terms.

The M4 Pro is now rumored as the next phone to launch from the Xiaomi brand POCO. This event is looking more and more likely in the face of new Geekbench listings for a device with a model number thought to conform to the device. They point to a mid-range MediaTek Dimensity processor and Android 11 for the upcoming smartphone.

The newest top-end mobile GPU unveiled by ARM is the Mali-G710, likely to form part of upcoming SoCs such as the Dimensity 2000. However, the chipset IP colossus has now hinted at its successor, rated to improve further on the potential gains of the G710. Then again, the company has yet to offer many metrics or indicators of its apparent relative superiority over current cutting-edge smartphone graphics.

A new leak has provided some information on the battery capacities of two devices Xiaomi has in the works. The source fails to specify what devices they refer to exactly, but claims they'll be launched under the Redmi brand, perhaps hinting at the upcoming Redmi K50 series.

Samsung has been observed to have posted pages for a device called the SM-G990B/DS, a model number previously linked to the Galaxy S21 FE, a phone thought to have faced the axe due to supply constraints. Therefore, it seems the latest Fan Edition flagship smartphone variant is now back as an upcoming product.

Some recent leaks concerning Xiaomi's Mi 11-series successors have hinted that the OEM might not change these smartphones much in terms of their curved displays, a potential source of consternation among tech fans who prefer other panel types instead. However, a prominent leaker now suggests the situation might be less pronounced compared to earlier indications.

Samsung is rumored to provide a successor to the Galaxy A52 5G in 2022. Now, a new leak suggests that it will reprise some of its forebear's better specs, and might launch at around the same time of year. It might, at least, break into new color options in 2022.

Motorola had confirmed plans to release new smartwatches under its branding with a new partner, currently known as CE Brands. Now, this company has dropped this wearable's final product name, as well as several strong hints as to its design and about how much it might cost. It is now to be followed up by 2 more of its new series on its launch.

An Apple tipster has indirectly claimed that there could be an event held by the tech giant in March of next year.

Apple is projected to launch second-gen AirPods Pro in 2022. These TWS earbuds have allegedly been captured in new renders hinting that their charging case will come with new and heretofore-unseen features. Then again, their source may be less than 100% reliable in this case.

A new tip purports to offer more insight into what might prove a successor to a premium Xiaomi smartphone. It focuses on the new "12 Pro's" display, which will apparently split fans down the middle with the return of a certain display type often seen in high-end mobile devices. The render also hints that the Pro will not get much of a selfie-camera upgrade.

OPPO has claimed some new intellectual property that might dictate how smartphones such as those of the allegedly upcoming Reno 7 series might look.

Devices based on this updated design might be unveiled as early as November 2021.

Honor has announced that it will release 2 new phones as a Chinese Singles' Day special, although they will launch on October 28 rather than November 11, 2021. The OEM skirts around the actual names of the new phones, although some leaks assert that they are the X30 Max and X30i. Both devices have very well-worn designs, although their internals might be up to date, at least.

A reliable Weibo leaker now claims that OPPO will hold a "blockbuster" launch event before the end of 2021, and that its inaugural foldable smartphone is likely to be the star of this show. The device is painted as a bona fide rival for flagships such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 or Huawei Mate X2 based on its rumored specs.

A well-known leaker with a noteworthy track record has further elaborated on his quite intriguing predictions regarding Apple's upcoming 2022 MacBook Air upgrade, which will supposedly feature unusual bezels in an off-white type of color, a considerable display upgrade but also an increased starting price.

Huawei's latest Nova-series phones are veritable unicorns in the smartphone industry, having launched in China with a 4G/LTE-only version of the Snapdragon 778G. Now, some new leaks allege that they are coming to Europe, bringing this chipset with them. However, it already seems it is lacking in areas besides connectivity.

Motorola has just launched the Moto G Pure for the Canadian and US markets. Now, a device that looks like it might be a higher-end variant of the same phone has leaked via the FCC and Wi-Fi Alliance. They indicate that the device is 4G/LTE-only; however, images allegedly linked to the same phone show scope for a more premium display than that of the G Pure, at least.

A Lenovo representative has announced that the OEM will hold a major product event for later in 2021. A new tablet, the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6, is confirmed as one of the stars of this show. However, there may be others, and they may be new PCs of the Yoga line.

Vivo launched its first-gen smartwatch in 2020. Now, a device that might prove to be its successor has been certified in China. It is rumored to uphold its series' trend of high-end specs such as a round AMOLED display, and add some of its own such as standalone connectivity.

Realme launched the Realme Pad last month in India as an affordable but capable tablet. Apparently, the Realme Pad is set to make the trip over to Europe and a new leak has now provided information on the tablet's pricing for that market.

A new leak has revealed details of both the Snapdragon 898 and MediaTek's upcoming Dimensity 2000. Both chips are similar with a few notable differences, but those differences hint at the MediaTek chipset having a performance edge over Qualcomm's offering.

Multiple sources have indicated that Ubisoft is working on a new Splinter Cell game. It is in the early stages of development and could be shown off sometime in 2022.

Apple has switched its main lineup to OLEDs but it appears the iPhone SE 3 will retain its LCD roots. It's tipped to be the only device with both an LCD and a flagship SoC when it's released, with the same leak providing some important details of the iPhone SE 2 successor.

Redmi is projected to launch the Note 11 series of mid-range smartphones soon. It has been said to consist of vanilla and Pro variants, with up to 67W fast charging.

Sony's Alpha division has just tweeted that a new camera is coming. This device, teased as the latest addition to the alpha series, will thus join the growing list of potentially major new devices to be launched this week (October 18-24, 2021). It is likely to come with the latest processor for its form-factor from the OEM, although further upgrades remain to be seen.

AMD may introduce some of the upcoming Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 Raphael desktop offerings with RDNA 2 graphics under Raphael-H mobile with up to 16 cores and even higher performance than Zen 4 Phoenix-H. While not confirmed, if true, this move could be seen as AMD's counter to Intel's plans of pushing higher performance mobile CPUs above 55 W TDP with Alder Lake-S mobile and the ensuing Raptor Lake mobile parts.

A new set of leaks have now revealed pricing of the upcoming Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro for both the US and UK markets. The leaked prices indicate that the phones will be cheaper than expected, with the Pixel 6 supposedly starting at an incredible US$599.

iQOO has already launched the Z5; now, a new phone with a very similar name is coming. The brand has confirmed this device will launch in late 2021. It is destined for a MediaTek processor rather than the Qualcomm platform of the Z5; however, the upcoming variant will still have 5G.

The Honor 50 is a premium mid-range smartphone said to launch in Europe soon. Now, its maker is rumored to be preparing a 50 Lite to go along with it. It is said to have the exact same specs and looks as a device from Honor's former parent company Huawei - however, one version might have some crucial advantages over the other.

Apple may use a different nomenclature for its M1 successor at tomorrow's Unleashed event. Bloomberg quotes developer sources that claim the names M1 Pro and M1 Max have appeared in their app logs. While it is not clear whether Apple would indeed opt for a delineated nomenclature instead of just using M1X, there is no ruling out the possibility either.

The Galaxy S22 series is on its way. When exactly it will launch remains a question but a new leak provides some information on the memory and storage options of the phones, and power users are unlikely to be thrilled.
