Samsung LSI may soon ask TSMC to manufacture a future Exynos chip. This could be due to plummeting yields on Samsung's own 2nd-gen 3 nm node.

The 13R is thought to launch as the cut-price alternative to OnePlus' latest flagship Android smartphone - although it might come with some advantages of its own. It also definitely has 5G, according to a new leak. It is also purported to confirm that the device will indeed be available globally alongside the 13 itself.

Asus is backed to launch what might be its most powerful (and feature-rich) series of Android smartphones in the form of the ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro. Now, a benchmarking website purports to confirm that one or both of these machines will have at least 1 industry-leading spec besides its cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite silicon.

The Galaxy S24 FE offers many reasons in favor of a purchase. While the numerous cost-saving measures of the S24 FE in the upper smartphone range are not without criticism, the overall features of the Samsung model will be difficult to beat when it sinks the mid-range price level.

The Xiaomi 15 is touted as the iPhone 16 Pro's closest rival of the moment as it crams cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite performance into a 6.36-inch display form-factor. Unfortunately, it is not yet officially available outside of China. A possible (if dubious) early sighting of a new version of the compact flagship might hint that that is about to change.

A number of OEMs have taken to releasing a version of their latest flagship Android smartphone with series-exclusive, often literally 'Ultra'-tier camera upgrades. Honor is now tipped to be the first among those companies to launch its contender in this ring - although it might be called something else in its case. The Magic7's "Ultimate" form is thought to rock cutting-edge variable aperture technology alongside the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC and a tandem OLED display.

The S20 Pro might be one of the more affordable new Android smartphones to be released by Vivo in the near future. Despite that, the device is now depicted as having a lot in common with the OEM's latest X200-series flagships, one of their 50MP rear cameras included. The S20 Pro also seems to have the same wired charging speed and screen resolution as its higher-end counterparts.

The latest global smartphone market report placed the iPhone 15, 15 Pro Max and 15 Pro (in that order) as the devices with the most sales. The Galaxy S24 made it as the 10th most sold device on the list, whereas its predecessor did not at the same time in 2023. Ironically, 4G/LTE-only handsets from Redmi and Samsung itself have beaten it to higher spots on the same chart.

Then again, it has an AMOLED display and a generationally enlarged battery.

The iQoo 12 may no longer be the brand's flagship smartphone, although it remains relevant for its owners with a new major software upgrade. Funtouch OS 15 for the global version of the 144Hz display device confers new features such as Circle to Search, Live Transcribe and Link to Windows.

A new leak has revealed important specifications of Huawei's upcoming Kirin 9100. It comes with an 8-core CPU manufactured on SMIC's N+3 (6 nm) node. For the GPU, it will use an in-house Maleoon 910 GPU from last year.

Xiaomi has just released a major software upgrade for its most compact Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered flagship smartphone. It is rated to elevate user experience, features and stability for owners of the vanilla 14 in regions such as Europe - although it also comes with a catch.

MediaTek is now tipped to launch a mid-range counterpart for its new Dimensity 9400 flagship processor for mobile devices soon. Its most prominent upgrade thus far might also be its most power-efficient, thereby possibly making for better battery life in next-gen mid-tier devices. Then again, the 8400 might stay the same as its predecessor in some respects.

The iQoo Neo10 is depicted as an upcoming rival for the new Vivo X200 and Oppo Find X8 Android smartphones with the same new top-end MediaTek Dimensity 9400 silicon. Should that be the case, it might have the edge on those existing devices in certain potentially important ways, one of which might be confirmed in a new leak.

The Xiaomi 14T Pro presents its good side in our test. Especially the 144-Hz AMOLED display and the new Mediathek Dimensity 9300 Plus of the Xiaomi smartphone bring some positive surprises. As soon as its price drops to the level of a Xiaomi 14, the Pro model of the T series gets our purchase recommendation.

With its 165Hz folding AMOLED screen, the Razr+ 2023 is one of the most advanced clamshell Android smartphones of its generation. Now, it is available for $450 off its original list price as part of Motorola's latest online sale. There are also extra discounts on the device's successor and its vanilla counterpart.

Oppo's announcement that it is "nearly time" to share "something incredible" with its UK fans has led to speculation that the OEM is about to bring the Find X line of premium Android smartphones back to the country. They are touted to combine "smart AI features" with "incredible" designs and "stunning" camera performance.

The RedMagic 10 "Pro" and "Ultra" is now thought to dwarf even its cutting-edge Android gaming powerhouse predecessors on various levels. One of them might also become the largest Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered device to date on its launch. Then again, the devices are also believed to ditch a key part of the RedMagic signature look in order to do so.

The leak also contains some potential reassurance concerning the device's thermal management.

A hands-on leak has led to effusive praise for OnePlus' upcoming flagship Android smartphone, even when compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The 13 is said to be the lighter of the two premium devices, and to avoid some of the new Apple flagship's worst drawbacks in terms of hand-feel. Then again, the Pro Max might still have the edge in one key area.

The Xiaomi 15 is said to launch (very shortly) as a compact flagship - however, it is not to be judged on its size, according to its latest leak. Its full-sized Snapdragon 8 Elite power joins other specs to match rumored rivals from OnePlus and iQOO. The 15 is also now slated to run the latest version of HyperOS out of the box.

The iQOO 13 is said to beat other upcoming next-gen Android flagships such as the OnePlus 13 in terms of performance and screen quality. Further tidbits about its display and its supposedly advanced specs have allegedly leaked out, alongside multiple candid photos purporting to confirm others concerning the smartphone's appearance.

A newly leaked image of the OnePlus 13 sheds light on its familiar circular camera design. Likely to be powered by a custom Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition chip, it is expected to boast a BOE X2 display, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and a 6,000mAh battery, as per past leaks.

When we tested the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6, the lightweight productivity laptop achieved an outstanding battery life.
