Leaks / Rumors

Only available for purchase in Russia so far, the 5.5-inch ZenFone 4 Max is now official in Taiwan. However, the details regarding its price and launch date are still shady at this time.

Not long after obtaining its FCC certification, this upcoming 8-inch Android slate surfaces at TENAA with a quad-core processor, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB and 64 GB storage versions, as well as a 5,000 mAh battery.

Chinese behemoths Xiaomi are allegedly working with Google on the creation of a new Android One phone. Considering Xiaomi's MIUI skin isn't loved by many, it'll be interesting to see Google software on a Xiaomi device.

The design of the Mi Mix 2 has been revealed in a Facebook video by designer Philippe Starck, and it's more edgeless than ever. The Mi Mix was arguably Xiaomi's real flagship for 2016, so it'll be fun to see how much the OEM can pack into its successor.

Samsung's next-gen affordable 8-inch Android tablet is expected to hit the market soon, as it has just received all the needed certifications from the WiFi Alliance and the FCC. However, the details are nowhere to be found yet.

This upcoming version of Google's most used mobile app aims emerging markets, where low-end handsets are very popular. The official announcement still has to arrive, but the app is already in testing.

The Nokia 8 was released within the last few days and there's already word of a Nokia 9, the company's more impressive, larger flagship. Nothing is concrete at this point, though, but we'll be looking forward to it.

HiSilicon's next-gen Kirin 970 has been spotted on Chinese social media platform Weibo. While much cannot be inferred from the listed specifications, it's shaping up to be a worthy competitor to whatever Qualcomm and MediaTek put out next year.

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo seems to suggest that the upcoming Apple Watch Series 3 might support VoIP instead of traditional phone calls, possibly to avoid user experience issues and also due to the lack of internal space within the device for a proper SIM slot.

The Chinese phone maker has just sent out invites for the Mate 10 launch, confirming that this next-gen phablet would be unveiled in October, just as most recent rumors revealed.

Taiwanese manufacturer MediaTek have sent out invites for an event scheduled for August 29, one where they are expected to announce the release of two new mid-range SoCs—the Helio P23 and P30.

The Redmi Note 5A has been spotted on TENAA, and the listed specifications are quite unimpressive, as they represent a step backward. A 5.5" 720p display, 3000mAh battery, and Snapdragon 425 is, well, underwhelming.

Google might not launch a new Pixel notebook, but this patent that recently surfaced online shows an interesting device that comes with a section that can be covered and opened.

This long-awaited phablet that is expected to show up next week surfaced online with a both Qualcomm and Samsung processors on board, next to 6 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage, and a 12 MP main camera.

According to a filing with the FCC that surfaced online yesterday, the HTC-made Google Pixel 2 borrows the squeezable sides of the HTC U11. This feature is allegedly called "Active Edge" and launches Google Assistant by default.

The expected October time frame for the Mate 10 lines up with previous rumors about a Q3 to Q4 delivery date of the Kirin 970 processor.

Although its predecessor used a MediaTek processor and most rumors mentioned the M6 Note would use a chip from the same manufacturer, Meizu's head of global marketing mentioned that this handset might come with a surprise in this department.

Although this is only in the patent stage for now, future Note devices might come with a breathalyzer-stylus accessory that also bends to act as an external microphone and a gas sensor.

The latest leak concerning this 5.5-inch handset that is expected to show up later this week reveals 6 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, a dual-camera setup, as well as Android 7.1 Nougat.

A Geekbench v3 multi-core score of 78323 has been achieved by a i9-7960X overclocked to 5.4 GHz on all 16 cores using liquid nitrogen (LN2) as the coolant, which is three times higher than an i7-7700K. While LN2 results are always at the top end of the scale, it shows that this CPU could have a sizeable headroom for overclocking. The only official results which are higher come from Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC server processors.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is all set for an official unveiling on August 23 but if word on the street is to go by, the device could land up in shelves as early as the next day, at least in the US.

At the end of a long stream of HTC Ocean Life-related rumors, we find out that this mid-range handset is going to hit the market later this year as HTC U11 Life, but this has not been confirmed officially yet, either.

While the US market only got a model with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage, it looks like China is on its way to a Moto Z2 Force with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage, but with a slightly lower battery capacity.

The LG V30 will not be alone when it debuts later this month. It will be joined by the V30 Plus, a more robust version of itself which will include boosted specs and some features missing from the standard V30. Of course, with better features comes a higher price tag.

Without any official confirmation of a Bixby global launch yet, Samsung updated its Contacts app and added "Bixby English global launching" to its changelog. For now, the US remains the only market where Bixby is available with English language support.

This handset with more storage and memory than the regular KEYone arrived as an exclusive edition for India, and now a teaser for IFA 2017 suggests that more markets would follow this fall.

The upcoming fitness tracker from Garmin features a round face and an overhauled UI more reminiscent of Garmin's own Fenix line of wearables. This may position the Vivoactive 3 against competing smartwatches, especially Fitbit's upcoming smartwatch.

A render made by a case manufacturer showing an iPhone in their rugged case appears to show the iPhone 8 will have an all-screen design and an on-screen button. The location of the fingerprint scanner isn't shown, but it could be under the screen, on the back, or completely absent in favor of an IR scanner.

Although this 8-inch tablet is not official yet, a T-Mobile support page for it is already live. This page reveals the following specs and features: a 1.4 GHz octa-core processor, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB storage, Android 7.0, as well as a docking accessory.

Live photos show off what is likely a development model of the Google Pixel 2. There are slight changes to the aesthetic, but (sadly) a headphone jack is nowhere to be found.

Insiders familiar with the matter claim that the next-gen Galaxy flagship will use a new type of mainboard that would allow for a bigger battery without increasing the device's dimensions.
