A South Korean media outlet reports Samsung will decide if it will power the Galaxy S25 series with an Exynos 2500 in the coming days. If not, the SoC is expected to debut alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 later next year.

The Honor Magic7 Pro is an upcoming Android flagship smartphone believed to launch on or around the same time as other big-name rivals such as the Xiaomi 15 Pro. Now, it is also tipped to do so with faster wired charging than its predecessor - not to mention wireless charging even faster than that of the OnePlus 13. However, there might also be some less good news for the 7 Pro's spec upgrades.

Realme is tipped to aim for a truly high-end experience with its next-gen Android flagship smartphone to rival others such as the Xiaomi 15 Pro and OnePlus 13. Then again, it is also now said to have the same core rear camera specs as its closest predecessor. However, the GT7 Pro might have the better periscope zoom lens of the two.

The iQOO 13 may or may not have been seen beating the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in a test of performance in its last leak. Now, the upcoming flagship Android smartphone is also said to underpin those supposed gaming credentials with the rear-firing RGB accents to match. Can they help set it apart from the competition?

OnePlus is tipped to launch a new flagship smartphone with the potential for much more screen-on time for its advanced display in what might be only a few weeks. Now, a new leak purports to pin down exactly how big the 13's battery upgrade is supposed to be. Then again, if its fans want even more of the same, there are alternatives, albeit with a catch.

With its visible, "laptop-grade" rear-mounted RGB fan and "3D heat pipe", RedMagic touts its Nova as the most gaming-ready flagship Android tablet on the global market. Could that "laptop-grade" cooling make it more vulnerable to a rage-quit? A vlogger famous for destroying tech set out to find an answer to that question.

An upcoming Android smartphone has appeared on the Geekbench database with new silicon of the same (or very similar, rather) specs as that now associated with the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. The impending device has apparently done even better than the Samsung flagship, with five-figure multi-core scores and superior single-core scores on top of that. It is also tipped to come with other high-end specs and the latest software available to it out of the box.

The wait for a brand-new top-end Android counterpart to the iPhone 16 Pro series is about to come to an abrupt end, according to an esteemed leaker. Furthermore, they are all now projected to become available on a daily basis fairly soon, as OEMs enter a race to conduct the world's first launch-day Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition smartphone release.

Nubia's next-gen flagship Android smartphone is tipped to go beyond others thanks to a new display with a virtually invisible selfie camera. The OEM has been working on this technology for the last few years, but is now backed to have reached a level at which its Z70 Ultra screen is more consistent in color, brightness and detail from edge to edge.

The X200 series is currently touted to comprise the most modern (as in, most iPhone-like) flagship smartphones released by Vivo to date very soon. Now, the version of Android with which they will hope to take iOS on has been previewed on Weibo. OriginOS 5 is now slated to debut with its own version of the Dynamic Island, Google Gemini and Circle to Search.

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is one of the most exciting foldable smartphones of the year and impressed in more ways than one in our review. However, the super-thin and light Xiaomi smartphone comes with a handicap for which it can do little.

The performance-focused Android smartphone brand iQOO went to its parent company's 2024 developer conference with its upcoming flagship, according to a new leak. The "13" was apparently confirmed to come with the latest display technology from BOE, rated to make the device brighter yet more power-efficient despite its advanced refresh rate and resolution.

MediaTek has officially announced its latest flagship SoC, the Dimensity 9400. The Dimensity 9400 is built on the Armv9.2 instruction set and features a new Cortex-X925 prime core along with 3x Cortex-X4 cores and 4x Cortex-A720 cores. The Dimensity 9400 also brings forth a new Immortalis-G925 GPU with opacity micromap support, a new NPU 890 with Agentic AI, and enhanced connectivity.

The 2023/24 flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor for top-end mobile devices has been thought to be succeeded by a new one called the 8 Gen 4 for some time. This is not the case, however, according to a veteran leaker. Then again, the latest alleged re-brand for the potentially class-leading SoC is not the same as the last.

The latest Honor X60-series leak purports to show the upcoming smartphone in two colors and with an updated camera hump. The tip also predicts an "ultra-large" battery for the device, which is also believed to come with water- and drop-proofing. Its configurations have also allegedly been exposed, that of its top-end satellite messaging edition included.

Realme's next flagship Android smartphone is now tipped to be available on the international market. Moreover, the device is said to have a display from Samsung rather than a Chinese supplier. It is also projected to be packed with other premium hardware such as the latest chipset and fingerprint sensor from Qualcomm.

OPPO has announced that it will launch a Plus version of the K12, an up-to-date mid-range Android smartphone with the same specs and look as the OnePlus Nord CE4. The newer model is now officially linked to a long-lasting battery and a robust build. The K12 Plus is also slated to debut with a new version of OPPO's SUPERVOOC charging technology that might also be destined for the brand's next flagships.

The Vivo X200 Standard Edition and OPPO Find X8 are projected to do battle for the title of best new vanilla flagship Android smartphone with the new MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor from their potentially imminent October 2024 debuts. Now, the former is believed to go into the fight with the larger battery of the two - although the X8 could hit back in other ways.

The iQOO 13 is now tipped to launch with a more refined IP68-rated build than its predecessor. It is also now once again backed to have a higher-quality display than other upcoming Android flagships, even the supposedly cutting-edge OnePlus 13. However, the latest tip also denies another potentially crucial edge over the iQOO device's competition.

The compact Jelly Max is now available for regular pre-order. According to the manufacturer, this is the smallest 5G smartphone and is very much aimed at a niche market.

Google may have inadvertently revealed a key component of the Samsung Galaxy S25. A blog post listing references Samsung mobile phones powered by a flagship MediaTek chip, tacitly suggesting the Galaxy S25 could be powered by a Dimensity 9400.

A new leak sheds light on some Snapdragon 8 Gen 4's key specs. Its UFS 4.0 modules are rated for read/write speeds of 4,500/4,000 MB. Contrary to earlier rumours, it will launch with LPDDR5X RAM and not LPDDR6.

The OPPO Find X8 is an upcoming flagship Android smartphone tipped to rival the iPhone 16 for buyers on its debut later in October 2024. Now, it has allegedly popped up in a new leak that purports to confirm a chassis updated to resemble its alleged competitors from Apple. The new photos might also highlight how thin and compact the device is supposed to be.

OPPO's upcoming flagship smartphones are tipped to aim to become the closest rivals to Apple's iPhones on their launch. The Find X8 series are thought to achieve this effect with their software as well as their considerably updated hardware. Now, their version of Android 15 has been previewed in more depth.

The Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro Plus have only been official for a week on the Chinese market, yet is said to have done better in terms of sales in that time-frame compared to all other new Android smartphones in 2024 thus far. The devices pack potentially intriguing features such as 120Hz AMOLED displays, large batteries and world-first processors for prices that start as low as ~$200.

The OPPO Find X8 and X8 Pro are upcoming flagship Android smartphones now tipped to have global versions cleared for launch, with the model numbers to match. They are also now officially slated to launch with advanced ingress-protection ratings and considerably refined builds, even the base model X8.

More details on the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G and its 4G/LTE-only variant have now reportedly leaked out. Both devices are said to have much in common with their A15 forebears - except for the enlarged displays and possibly unprecedented degree of official ingress protection, of course. However, the newer devices might forfeit a long-standing Galaxy A-series feature to get there.

OnePlus is now facing a new patent dispute with InterDigital over 5G tech, leading to a halt in smartphone sales in Germany. Other OnePlus products are still available for purchase.

Realme is projected to throw its next premium handset into the battle royale to result from the release of several next-gen flagship Android smartphones at around the same time in 2024. The GT7 Pro might enter the fray as one of the fastest-charging devices of the bunch, and may or may not come with other advantages such as improved build quality and biometrics.

The Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro 5G makes quite an impression, mainly because of its vibrant 12.1-inch display. But the metal casing also looks stylish. All details about our review are summarized here.

In our test, the Xiaomi Mix Flip impresses with its excellent OLED displays. But the alternative to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 still leaves some potential unfulfilled in everyday use, leaving some room for improvement for a future Mix Flip 2.

The OnePlus 13 is said to launch as one of the highest-end new Android smartphones on the global market soon. However, it might have to contend with a namesake from iQOO for that title, which might also be available internationally. It may be able to add faster charging to its list of advantages over its competition.

The OnePlus 13 is a next-gen flagship Android smartphone tipped to maintain its predecessors' reputation for fast charging over USB-C, even if some of its closest rivals might not. Now, a new tip purports to confirm that rumor, along with another potentially identifying detail for the device.

The Zero Flip has now been introduced by Infinix as the latest in a growing pool of foldable smartphones with more affordable mid-range specs. They include a Razr 2024-like cover display with a 120Hz refresh rate driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 SoC. Infinix' inaugural foldable also packs much faster (70W) charging than most for a relatively large (4,720mAh) battery.

iQOO is tipped to launch its next-gen flagship Android smartphone with many of the same specs as others such as the OPPO Find X8 Ultra and OnePlus 13. However, the 'other' 13 is also now backed to debut with the brightest and most energy-efficient display among its peers. The new screen is now linked with a generational peak brightness boost of over 10%, while using up to 10% less power.

The X200 is slated to launch soon as a member of Vivo's next-gen Android smartphones. Its OEM has now previewed its design, complete with extra-sized camera hump, in advance - revealing the extent of its updates compared to its predecessor in the process. The smartphone will have an all-new colorway with a new finish for its rear panel, at least.

The Dimensity 9400's Immortalis-G925 GPU has debuted on Geekbench. In the OpenCL benchmark, it scores 16,257 points, making it about 10% faster than its predecessor.

The Mate 70 series is projected to debut later in 2024 as their OEM's highest-end candy-bar smartphones to date, and are as such now tipped to ditch their predecessors’ design for a look so clean their displays won't even have punch-holes. Unfortunately for Huawei fans, however, this new rumor might be too good to be true.
