Someone has put the Galaxy S24 Ultra next to the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The former's titanium chassis gives the smartphone a unique sheen. Samsung has also tweaked some minor design parameters of its upcoming flagship.

The Fairphone 5 is not only fair but also sustainable, offering an appealing overall concept on the data sheet, which includes many modern technologies. However, the test shows that all that glitters is not gold. Here's a summary for you once again.

The OnePlus 12 has been launched in China. It features a 6.8-inch 120 Hz LTPO OLED panel, three rear cameras (50 MP + 48 MP + 64 MP), and up to 24 GB of RAM. Its global launch is expected to happen sometime in January 2024.

Samsung plans to use a Sony IMX sensor as the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus' primary camera. It is said to be called the IMX890 for Galaxy and will be used exclusively by Samsung.

The OnePlus 12 will launch with the best display in the Android smartphone market on its launch - according to its maker, at least. Now, a new leak purports to confirm how big that potentially class-leading screen is going to be. The same tip may also hint at how much battery life, RAM and internal storage the smartphone can offer.

OnePlus had announced that the OnePlus 12 will have a third color option in addition to the familiar black and green of its predecessors. Now, the OEM has displayed it in advance in some new official preview shots. Meanwhile, a less official leak might help discern whether the new colorway will look the same in the real world.

One of the most distinctive-looking Android smartphone series is moving on to a new generation soon, according to the latest leaks. Tecno's Camon 30 Premier 5G is slated to launch with SoC and Bluetooth upgrades over its predecessor, although its software out of the box could be more up to date.

The OPPO Find X7 is thought to launch as an Android flagship smartphone with nearly all of the features of its Pro sibling despite its vanilla status. They include an advanced telephoto lens as one of its rear cameras, according to the latest leak. The device is now thought to get a display with the potential for "new" brightness and power-efficiency specs.

The Open is the first foldable smartphone OnePlus has ever launched, yet is backed to withstand no less than 1,000,000 uses of its hinge over its lifetime. The OEM also claims it is further reinforced with materials such as carbon fiber and a titanium alloy. Now, the device has challenged the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 in terms of JerryRigEverything bend test survival.

Samsung's upcoming mid-range, the Galaxy A55, will supposedly use an Exynos 1480 SoC with an AMD GPU. Otherwise, it is essentially identical to its predecessor, the Galaxy A54.

The rumored 14 Ultra is now slated to launch with the fastest wireless charging Xiaomi can provide; on the other hand, this leak also indicates that an upgrade for its wired charging will not be forthcoming. On the other hand, the supposedly upcoming super-flagship might have the edge on the 14, 14 Pro and 13 Ultra in another way.

Huawei's next horizontally-folding smartphone will come as one of a crop of next-gen mobile devices that will also include the brand's next Kirin 5G-powered devices, according to a new leak. The clamshell is slated to have a design most like its highest-end predecessor, albeit with some tweaks of its own.

A Taiwanese news outlet says Qualcomm has chosen TSMC's N3E node to manufacture the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Its initial plans to dual-source from Samsung fell apart due to yield and capacity issues.

Realme has scheduled a full, formal debut for its next flagship Android smartphone for after that of the OnePlus 12 in China. However, some of that event's key information has allegedly leaked out already, its price included. In the meantime, the OEM is teasing some of the GT5 Pro's main upgrades, most of which are found in its ultra-fast display.

OnePlus has just confirmed second-gen Rain Touch Control and Tiangong cooling technology for its upcoming flagship Android smartphone. The 12 has allegedly shown these new AnTuTu Benchmark-destroying enhancements off already in another new leak; then again, this one might also reveal that its new and allegedly class-leading display may be less than 100% perfect.

Meizu now asserts that its latest flagship Android smartphone has more to offer besides its well-hyped ultra-slim-bezel Samsung OLED display. They include a "custom" 200MP main rear camera, dual linear speakers and an updated OS with an AI assistant. The Meizu 21 starts at less than US$500 with the new top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.

DSCC's Ross Young, a well-known analyst, says Samsung plans on increasing the Galaxy Z Flip6's cover display size. It will now span a colossal 3.9 inches, making it the largest ever on a Galaxy Z Flip device.

The Motorola Razr Plus, known globally as the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra, has received a hefty price cut on Amazon and Best Buy. Its base variant with 256 GB of storage and 8 GB RAM can be bought for US$699 on the platforms.

Ice Universe has confirmed that the Galaxy S24 series will not get a memory upgrade. The Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra will get a max of 12 GB, with no 16 GB variant in sight for the latter.

Apple has reportedly failed to develop its own 5G modem and will abandon any further efforts. It was slated to debut alongside the iPhone SE 4 sometime in 2025.

Periscope zoom lenses are projected to be huge among the premium Android devices of 2024 on a number of levels - however, they may not come bigger than in the Honor Magic6 series, according to a new leak. It is said to have well over 2x the resolution of the next largest new zoom lens, although its may be paired to a main shooter that comes with more compromise than previously rumored.

A famous X leaker says that Samsung will ditch the Exynos branding starting next year. Upcoming mid-range and flagship SoCs will be called different versions of Dream Chip.

Realme has announced that it has successfully shipped at least 200,000,000 smartphones. The brand has only been in this industry since 2018; nevertheless, this is only 1 of many major sales milestones achieved in that relatively short time. It has unveiled this latest news ahead of the launch of its next flagship Android device.

The Xperia 1 VI (and 5 VI) are reportedly on the way as new flagship and sub-flagship Android smartphones respectively with the latest camera tweaks from Sony. They are said to go beyond hardware and into the "in-camera digital signature" tech also headed to flagship DSLRs of the same brand. The new digital signature is intended to counter the potential risks of images made or altered by AI.

Leaked images from Weibo suggest the Oppo Find X7 Pro will feature an octagonal camera housing. It is noticeably thick and houses four camera sensors.

The iQOO 12 is a premium Android smartphone with the latest top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and a 144Hz display - that is on the way to the global market soon, according to a new leak. Furthermore, it is slated to do so with a new version of Funtouch OS capable of eliminating some of the most negative feedback attracted by its recent predecessors.

Google offers a relatively compact, high-performance smartphone in the Pixel 8, which scores particularly well with its main camera, stock Android and seven-year update guarantee. But the latest Pixel smartphone isn't perfect either.

The OnePlus 11 comes in just 2 standard colorways - however, the brand has just confirmed the addition of a third for its "ten-year" successor. The 12 is also now believed to echo forebears from further back in its OEM's history by offering the option to protect any of these three finishes with a custom wood (or wood-effect) case.

RedMagic has formally introduced its industry-first flat-screen back" flagship smartphones. The new design joins other signature rarities such as integrated RGB fans, high-speed shoulder keys and class-leading screen-to-body ratios thanks to fifth-gen under-display camera (UDC) tech. The new Android smartphones have up to 24GB of RAM to go with their Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoCs for just under US$1,000.

RedMagic very nearly got to its next major product event without the main event leaking onto AnTuTu Benchmark. However, a device with a model number linked to one of the upcoming 9 Pro series has made it onto that database after all, achieving a top-ranking score in the process. That might have been due to its top-end specs, the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor included.

The MediaTek Dimensity 8300 has been officially unveiled for premium smartphones. It features a tri-cluster Arm V9 CPU, an Arm Mali-G615 MC6 GPU, a 780 APU and LPDDR5X 8533 memory. It will debut later this year alongside the Redmi K70.

OnePlus has announced that it will celebrate its tenth anniversary in early December 2023, in an event now believed to also unveil the OEM's next flagship Android smartphone. The 12 is touted to outdo its predecessors (and competitors) as never before with cutting-edge camera and display technology.

Xiaomi is expanding the Redmi Note 13 series with the new Redmi Note 13R Pro. For the equivalent of around 250 euros, the new 5G smartphone offers a 6.67-inch OLED panel with 120 Hz and a 108 MP camera, among other things.

Apple touts the vanilla iPhone 15 and 15 Plus as having Super Retina XDR screens - however, the supposed flagship devices are saddled with a display refresh rate that is virtually extinct amongst even the cheapest new Android smartphones in 2023. Nevertheless, according to a new leak, there is no point in upgrading to their 16-series successors in order to get away from that spec next year.

The prospect of the Samsung Galaxy A25's launch has attracted attention as the event is thought to unveil a new 5G smartphone with decent specs at a relatively low price. Now, a leaks blog purports to reveal exactly how cheap it is going to be, and how much RAM/storage the potential buyer might expect to get for their money.

OnePlus has collaborated with BOE to make the 12 with what the OEM is now calling the Android smartphone display of the highest standards in the industry. It is now touted to be particularly eye health-friendly despite its putative ultra-high brightness, and to have a new usability feature that debuted in the Ace 2 Pro. Meanwhile, the device has picked up more certifications on its way to a global launch.

Realme hypes its next top-end Android smartphone as a flagship among flagships thanks to its new Qualcomm platform and Miracle Cooling system. However, it seems to have failed its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 hype on its maiden run on a popular mobile device benchmark. Then again, subsequent testing might paint a better picture for the upcoming GT5 Pro.

OnePlus has announced that its next major stable software upgrade for Android smartphones will make them compatible with Microsoft Phone Link. Eligible devices will thus have a whole new way to move their calls, notifications and photos onto their users' Windows PCs, not to mention their whole UI if necessary.

The mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 8300 has shown up on Geekbench. It performs remarkably better than the Dimensity 8200 and outdoes the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 in multi-core performance.

MediaTek has unveiled its first-ever Radio Frequency System-On-Chip (RFSOC), the T600. It is manufactured on TSMC's 6 nm process and uses one Cortex-A35 CPU core.

The A25 5G might launch toward the lower end of the new mid-range Samsung smartphone spectrum, yet is thought to be interesting as it might sport some of the OEM's latest design refinements. Now, a new tip purports to confirm that rumor, as well as others that hint at how up to date its SoC and color choices are going to be.

OnePlus has finally released the version of its first-gen foldable smartphone with a black vegan leather back to the European market. Not only that, the Open Voyager Black has been unleashed as one of the OEM's Black Friday specials thanks to its introductory discount. The premium device is also on sale in other regions, the US included.

Qualcomm has officially unveiled its newest upper-mid-range SoC, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. It comes with a tri-cluster GPU, an Adreno 720 GPU, a Spectra ISP and a Hexagod NPU.

The Find X7 is thought to launch with MediaTek's Dimensity 9300 SoC rather than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 of other contemporary high-end Android smartphones. However, that is no handicap at all, according to AnTuTu. The benchmarking group believes that the vanilla X7 has sneaked onto its database, then torn it up with a class-leading score.

Meizu had hinted that its next premium smartphones would have the best-looking display bezels in the Android world on its launch; now, a company executive has revealed what it meant by that in a new hype post. Meanwhile, the 21's reservations have opened in the Chinese market with some interesting offers and an extended warranty.
