The Moto E40 has yet to be confirmed, and yet is currently thought to be ranked among the highest-end devices of its series on its launch. It is rumored to be the first of the line to have a 90Hz display. Its newest leak suggests it could stand out in other ways as well.

Now that Realme has launched its latest high-end phone, the GT Neo2, the OEM has indicated that it will turn its thoughts to a new addition of its more affordable Q series of Android devices. A reliable leaker alleges that its display will have a higher refresh rate compared to the new flagship-grade handset.

Motorola has been said to have a new member of the Moto G series called the Pure nearly ready for launch.

They include a fairly generous "ultrawide" display, a MediaTek Helio processor and a battery rated to last up to 48 hours.

New performance predictions for the Apple M1X SoC have been offered up, and they show the 10-core Apple Silicon surpassing the 16-core Intel Xeon W-3245 in the Mac Pro from Late 2019. It has also been reckoned that the M1X cores will be based on both M1 and A15 cores, presumably for increased efficiency.

A leaker has posted a set of allegedly official renders for a second-gen Pixelbook. This rumored new Chromebook is now portrayed as coming in 5 bright colorways that definitely suggests Google is trying to keep pace with Apple in this regard. On that note, the device is now again touted to come with an in-house chipset.

Xiaomi has now affirmed that it has a second-gen round-faced smartwatch ready to launch, and that it will be called the Watch Color 2 in its native China. This potentially substantial upgrade compared to the original Color is now set to debut alongside the OEM's latest smartphone sub-brand soon.

Rumor has it that the joint venture would focus on notebook SoCs with integrated Wi-Fi 6, 5G and high bandwidth wired controllers. AMD could also be looking to use future MediaTek custom ARM cores in combination with RDNA graphics for high-end notebook processors competing with Apple's M models.

We’ve got our hands on the new iPhone 13 Max Pro and the iPad mini 6. Both feature Apple’s 15 Bionic with 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU configuration, but we have confirmed the performance of the chip in the iPad mini is indeed slower on the CPU side, but also on the GPU side too.

The display resolutions for Apple’s eagerly awaited next-generation M1X MacBook Pro models appear to have leaked. If accurate, they align with the rumored display sizes of 14-inches and 16-inches and will result in an increase in pixel density from Apple’s current 13-inch and 16-inch models.

The new Xiaomi Civi smartphone is being launched on September 27, but it seems fans who might have been hoping to get their hands on one of the Snapdragon 778G-powered devices will be out of luck if they are outside of China. Alleged price tags for three configurations of the Xiaomi Civi have recently surfaced.

RedMagic has confirmed that the 6S Pro, an Android gaming phone with the latest high-end specs and a ‘transparent’ rear panel option, is coming to international markets soon. There is a discount code to go with this event, although it is not free.

Huawei has unveiled the Nova 9 and its Pro variant in China today (September 23, 2021). They fall into the premium mid-range category with their Snapdragon 778G processors. However, they are practically unicorns in this sense as they are also 4G/LTE-only.

iQOO has launched the latest addition to its mid-range Z series of Android smartphones today (September 23, 2021). This new model has been revealed as a triple rear camera device with a 64MP rear camera, a 120Hz display and a large battery, starting at under US$300 in China.

The GT Neo2 is now official as Realme's latest 120Hz AMOLED display smartphone. The Android 11 device is by a powered by a high-end Snapdragon processor and up to 12GB of RAM.

Samsung's "most anticipated monster", the Galaxy M52 5G, was slated to have launched by now in its target market of India. This event has now been pushed back; in the meantime, the OEM has revealed that it is to be the slimmest of its series to date and will have a premium mid-range processor.

Apple is yet to set a date for its next Mac event, having recently wrapped up its iPhone, iPad and Watch event. However, the company may have now provided a hint for when it will launch its next-generation MacBook Pros, which are expected to arrive in 14-inch and 16-inch screen sizes with mini LED displays and Apple M1X SoCs.

The Google Pixel Fold has proven to be mostly elusive so far. Leaks from a while ago touted an imminent release, and new information from what should be reliable quarters now also point towards a conspicuous launch date.

Huawei has already confirmed that the Nova 9 will launch a few short days from today (September 20, 2021). Now, a new in-the-wild-type leak points to an additional Pro sibling for this device that will conceivably debut on the same date. The images may also show the OEM has secured a typical premium mid-range Qualcomm chipset, albeit one without a potentially important spec normally seen in phones with the processor.

The Xiaomi 11T series is currently making its media rounds. A set of tests by a reputable media outlet has now revealed some important details about the performance of the Snapdragon 888 and Dimensity 1200 as implemented on the Xiaomi 11T Pro and 11T respectively.

Xiaomi's Redmi K50 series is on the way, and a new leak has now revealed some salient details about the line-leading model, the Redmi K50 Pro. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset is penciled in, as well as a rather lackluster main camera sensor.

Microsoft could be internally testing the Windows Subsystem for Android on a variety of x86 and ARM hardware as evidenced by new Geekbench entries. The ARM results show scores equivalent to that of a Snapdragon 865 while we see some performance regression on x86 hardware, which is likely using Intel's Bridge Technology. A listing of the Amazon Appstore Preview has also popped up on the Microsoft Store.

Motorola is an OEM not typically associated with tablets. Nevertheless, a leaker now asserts that it will launch just such a device during Flipkart's upcoming Big Billion Day Sale, scheduled to take place in October 2021. The company is thought to get help from its owner Lenovo in pulling this premiere off.

A new device with a foldable main display has been patented by...Fujifilm.

On the other hand, it may not have the exact same use-cases as this new premium phablet.

OPPO is projected to launch a phone called the K9 Pro soon, with a rear panel possibly intended to remind one of a certain Xiaomi flagship.

The new leak may confirm its name, design and some rear camera specs, so the OEM now does not have to.

A famous leaker now asserts that Samsung intends to take the vanilla model of its next generation of flagship smartphones coming and make it a "compact" variant of the line-up. The resulting "Galaxy S22 Mini" is slated to be small enough to fit inside the footprint of the new iPhone 13. This claim is based on alleged new information about the device's battery.

It turns out that not all A15 Bionic chipsets are created equal. For some reason, Apple includes a weaker A15 Bionic in the iPhone 13 mini and the iPhone 13 than the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Even the US$499 iPad mini 6 contains Apple's best A15 Bionic SoC, though.

Xiaomi's latest mesh networking system comes in a pack of just 2 tower-like "nodes"; nevertheless, the OEM asserts this is all that is needed to allow the AX3000 to emit fast Wi-Fi 6 signals over an area of just over 370 square meters. It is based on a Qualcomm processor and also offers Gigabit ports.

The R3's CMOS is also rated to pick out and track specific subject types such as eyes and animals.

The Infinix Zero X, X Neo and X Pro have been announced with the 8MP periscope lens rated for powerful hybrid zoom normally reserved for high-end devices. However, with their 4G-only MediaTek silicon, these new products are not among them. Then again, the X and X Pro are also enhanced with display specs not normally associated with their chipset.

VAVA asserts that its latest high-end 4K UHD laser projector can support a home-theater experience without the need for heavy curtains at any time of day.
