Leaks / Rumors

OnePlus 11 pricing has leaked for the Eurozone. The handset will soon be available in two storage variants, but an ongoing patent dispute between OnePlus and Nokia will prevent the OnePlus 11 from being sold in Germany. Amazon US has confirmed a specification change for North American models too, as well as when pre-orders will open.

AMD is expected to reveal midrange RDNA 3 cards, possibly the RX 7600/XT, with the Navi 33 GPU sometime in the coming months. Now, the latest rumor claims that the chip will only present measurable yet ultimately unexciting performance gains over the RDNA 2 boards.

Apple’s first mixed reality headset is rumored to release this year. According to the latest report by Bloomberg, the device will feature an interface that is practically identical to iOS/iPadOS, advanced hand and eye tracking, a breath of video calling features, and up to 2 hours of runtime on a single charge.

Rumors suggest that the Redmi Band 2 could soon arrive in Europe after a supposed Declaration of Conformity for the wearable was found in Italy. Last year, the lightweight gadget launched in China with features like exercise tracking, blood oxygen level monitoring, and WeChat or AliPay payments.

A new leak has now revealed most relevant hardware details of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

A leaker has discovered early retailer listings for the Forerunner 265 and Forerunner 965, a pair of next-generation Garmin smartwatches. Not only has the retailer revealed some details about both smartwatches, but it has outlined launch prices, too.

A comparison has been made between the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Google Pixel 7 Pro in regard to the capabilities of their selfie cameras.

Smartphones that can convert into phablets or even tablets without the need for a hinge may once have been thought to be the trend that would leave devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 behind without delay. However, according to the latest industry leaks, rollables will fail to overtake foldables in the near future after all, as OEMs struggle to solve some of the greater manufacturing and durability problems implied by the newer form-factor.

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is projected to arrive as an upgrade on the OEM's current Leica-branded flagship Android smartphone, the 12S Ultra, soon.

On that note, there is potential bad news for Indian fans of super-premium camera-heavy mobile devices to be found in this new leak.

Pricing and specifications have leaked for the Moto G13, another upcoming Moto Gx3 series smartphone. The Moto G13 will match the Moto G23 in many areas, albeit for an alleged 25% lower starting price.

Then again, the OEM's own teaser paints a different picture.

Launch reviews of the RX 7900 XT/XTX found that the GPUs weren’t performing as well as AMD had advertised. This disparity between the marketed and the measured performance sparked speculation that the Navi 31 GPU might be suffering from bugs. Later rumors suggested that a revised Navi 31 could be in the works. Also called RDNA 3+, reports now claim that the possible RDNA 3 refresh has been canceled.

Following the hands-on leaks of the Galaxy S23 Ultra yesterday, camera samples from the February 1-bound flagship have now also leaked, showcasing the phone's apparently improved low-light and zoom camera performance.

Xiaomi's main mobile device sub-brand Redmi is said to augment its new Note 12 line of smartphones with a new Turbo Edition soon.

The Realme GT Neo 5 is already being touted as its brand's next smartphone with the most premium charging tech as an option at launch.

The TicWatch Pro 5 will be one of the first smartwatches to launch with Wear OS 3, too.

Another Samsung Galaxy S23 price leak has emerged out of South Korea, and it may be a sign of good news for potential buyers.

The RTX 4060 Ti is rumored to pack an AD106 Lovelace GPU, 4352 CUDA cores, 8 GB of GDDR6, and a TDP of 160 W. Latest reports from leaker kopite7kimi and MyDrivers suggest that the board will only bring a conservative performance uplift over the RTX 3060 Ti while costing less than US$500.

Tecno has shared its take on the foldable smartphone, although its version also finds a way to turn into a 10-inch tablet on command. It does so by integrating the emerging rollable display type. The OEM touts the Phantom Vision V as part of its commitment to "innovation", although others such as Samsung and TCL might not agree.

OnePlus has debuted the China-only version of its new flagship Android smartphone with faster charging compared to its 10 Pro predecessor.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will come equipped with a new 200 MP camera. This sensor, the ISOCELL HP2, has a physical size of 1/1.3", falling short of a type 1-inch sensor like the IMX989 on phones like the Vivo X90 Pro and Xiaomi 13 Pro. Apparently, Samsung has a reason for that decision.

A Mac Mini powered by Apple's shiny new M2 Pro SoC has shown up on Geekbench. It scores 1,952 and 15,013 points on the single and multi-core benchmark, outperforming its last-gen counterpart by a significant margin and even punches above its weight class by besting the M1 Max.

Meanwhile, a possible explanation for its updated looks and specs has emerged.

Pre-order info, pricing, and even the spec sheet of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series leaked yesterday. It appears one detail in the leaked spec sheet may have been inaccurate, though, with word on the grapevine indicating the reality of the matter to be a significant positive.

A supposed Samsung Galaxy S23 series price leak for France has come hot on the heels of a similar rumor posted in regard to the potential Australian prices for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra.

After reporting RTX 4060 Ti’s hardware specifications last month, kopite7kimi is back with a revised power target for the card.

Huawei is thought to launch a P60 series of conventional premium smartphones soon.

It is thought to be able to have satellite communications features that are an upgrade over those supported by the Mate 50 flagship phablet series in China.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is projected to launch with a new rear camera that may or may not be based on the latest, most compact, zoom technology. Now, Apple has reportedly tipped LG, the OEM responsible for this breakthrough, for components that could make such a camera module for an upcoming flagship smartphone. Then again, another parts company has also secured a piece of this pie.

Allegedly, the launch of a second-generation HomePod is imminent. According to a typically well-informed source, the revived HomePod will be available with hardware upgrades and a cheaper launch price.

The Oppo Find N2 Flip is edging towards a global release. Having recently received several global certifications, the device has now surfaced on Geekbench.

The Find X6 Pro is an allegedly upcoming Android flagship smartphone said to challenge rivals such as the Xiaomi 13 Pro with purpose-driven, high-end rear cameras.

Additionally, some of these boards have also been listed for sale on the Chinese e-commerce site Goofish. The appearance of wallet-friendly AM5 boards is welcome since there is no true budget option among the currently available products.
