This prospect is presented alongside images that might show the profiles of not only its rumored first laptop, but a tablet as well.

Some consumers all set to buy the rumored Samsung Galaxy S21 FE may have been put off by leaks pointing to only 6GB of RAM for the upcoming flagship variant.

Apple's 'other' personal audio brand, Beats, is projected to release its next product, a pair of TWS earphones, soon.

The new tip seems to confirm their updated design, as well as that of their charging case.

The Honor 50 and 50 Pro are Android smartphones subject to numerous leaks that purport to out their design and specs ahead of their launch.

Realme CEO Madhav Sheth's latest tweet hints strongly at the imminent launch of this company's inaugural laptop.

The current silicon crisis is often perceived as bad news for CPU and GPU supplies worldwide. However, a new report highlights the point that its ramifications might be more widespread than that.

OnePlus is projected to launch a smartphone with silicon from MediaTek, rather than Qualcomm as usual, later in 2021.
