Apple Vision Pro 2 isn't coming in the next 18 months, new report says

Apple releases a new iPhone family every year like clockwork, but the same won't be happening with the Vision Pro line of headsets, according to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who is generally very accurate with Apple-related rumors.

Gurman says the Apple Vision Pro 2 headset is at least 18 months away from launch at this point, so Apple is clearly using a different strategy for these compared to its smartphones.

The Vision Pro 2 is to arrive in August 2025 at the earliest, but it wouldn't be surprising for its launch to be pushed to September so it can coincide with the...

Galaxy F15 5G teaser images leak, reveal a 6,000mAh battery and promise 4 OS updates

Last week we saw a Geekbench result from the Samsung Galaxy F15 5G with a Dimensity 6100+ chipset, the same chip that is inside the Galaxy A15 5G. The two phones have a lot in common, though as leaked teaser images show there will be some differences too.

The biggest is that the F15 will have a 6,000mAh battery (1,000mAh more than the A15). This is the same capacity as last year’s Galaxy F14 5G that this phone will replace. We also saw the battery in question get certified recently. Anyway, the phone should support 25W charging over USB-C.

Huawei Pocket 2 is officially launching on February 22

Huawei is launching the Pocket 2 this Thursday, the company announced on its Weibo profile. The date is not a coincidence – the number two version with two circles is arriving on the 22nd day of the 2nd month. Sadly, it does not fall on Tuesday; otherwise the tongue-twister would've been complete.

The official teaser pretty much confirmed the leaked renders of the flip foldable were true – one circle for the cameras, and the other for external display. The arrival is a bit earlier than expected, as some rumors suggested the Pocket 2 will arrive alongside the P70...

Top 10 trending phones of week 7

Seven is a lucky number for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Samsung flagship making a strong claim for the longest winnning streak of 2024 in our chart even though we have barely past the mid-way point of February.

It's worth nothing, though, that the Redmi Note 13 Pro in second is the closest a runner-up has been to the S24 Ultra. Are we finally going to see a change of guard?

Huawei MateBook D16 2024 review

Introduction and unboxing

If you live outside of China, then Huawei smartphones have become somewhat of an afterthought for you in these last few years. We won't go over the reasons for this here but we'll add that it's a shame for most of us at GSMArena, because Huawei makes some of the finest hardware (and particularly cameras) in the world and we rightfully feel like we're missing out due to the software's limitations.

But none of that affects the company's PC business and Huawei has kept on making excellent laptops for just about every budget. Today, we're looking at probably the...

Weekly poll: do you use AI and what do you do with it?

Decades can be defined by buzzwords. If you are of a certain age, you will have grown up hearing the “information superhighway” more times than you can count. But the 90s are over and the Internet is old news – it’s all about AI now.

Things are moving fast as multiple companies are competing on multiple fronts. Yesterday, Google announced Gemini 1.5, claiming that it has finally beaten OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Meanwhile, OpenAI announced Sora, a text to video generation system that is scary good. Also, Nvidia passed Alphabet (Google’s parent company) and Amazon in market valuation.

iQOO Z9 pops up on Geekbench with key specs

The iQOO Z9, which is expected to launch soon in India, has popped up on Geekbench. It has model designation I2302 and runs Android 14, likely with Funtouch OS 14 on top.

iQOO Z7 Pro

The Z9 has 8GB of RAM onboard with the Dimensity 7200 SoC at the helm. Previous rumors claimed the iQOO Z9 would be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 or the Dimensity 8300 chip, so we'll have to wait for multiple sources to corroborate the details about the Z9's processor.

Other rumored specs of the iQOO Z9 include a 1.5K OLED screen and a 6,000 mAh battery.

iPhone 16's camera module leaks confirming new vertical arrangement

The iPhone 16 will have a redesigned camera arrangement on its rear, with the two sensors being stacked vertically this time around, in a weird but obvious nod to the way Samsung likes to do these things.

Such an arrangement has been rumored multiple times so far, and today we get an image of what is purported to be the iPhone 16's camera chassis. And indeed this shows two cameras vertically arranged, not diagonally as they are the iPhone 15.

With over two weeks to go until its official debut, Nothing Phone (2a) managed to leak yet again, this time in an AnTuTu 10 listing. Benchmarking leaks like this should always be viewed with caution as we can only assume the device in question is a pre-release model and its performance will probably not be indicative of real-world performance from a commercially available unit.

The Nothing Phone (2a) is getting unveiled on March 5. The startup's first proper mid-ranger (can we call it that?) has seen a lot of anticipation recently, but obviously a lot of its success will inevitably be tied to its price.

The prototype unsurprisingly ran Android 14, and it's going to launch with One UI 6 on top. It had 4GB of RAM, but Samsung may decide to offer more memory options when the phone becomes official.

While the chipset isn't outright stated in the Geekbench database, it's being speculated that the F15 will sport...

OnePlus on why just 5 years of updates, Phone (2a) render was fake, Week 6 in review

OnePlus defended its policy of giving its users 5 years of software updates (4 years of major OS updates, and 5 years of security support) over the 7 years of Samsung and Google. OnePlus is focusing on the quality of the software and its fluidity over what it deems a promise that misses that point.

Weekly poll: aluminum, stainless steel or titanium?

It was clear as far back as 2017 that metal is the preferred material for a phone body. But which metal? Aluminum is the default, Apple used stainless steel for a few years before switching to titanium and Samsung followed that move too.

Each has its advantages. Aluminum is cheap and light. Stainless steel offers great strength, but is too heavy. That may be why Apple had to switch to titanium – it’s more durable than aluminum but lighter than steel. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro Max weighs 240g, the 15 Pro Max is 221g.

In fact, the Pixel 8 series can already detect a screen protector and once you apply one, the system prompts you to boost touch sensitivity. But it looks like Google is ready to expand on that feature, which is found in the Android 14...

Foldables are now attainable, if not quite cheap. The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra is down to €800, its lowest price yet. It combines a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with a 6.9” FHD+ 165Hz LTPO OLED internal display and a usable 3.6” cover display (144Hz, both 10-bit). The 12+13MP camera leaves something to be desired, but the 3,800mAh battery offers both 30W wired charging and some wireless (only 5W but still).

Apple Vision Pro’s micro OLED displays, battery detailed in iFixt teardown part 2

iFixit shared a part 2 video to its Apple Vision Pro teardown which details the key components inside Apple’s first Spatial Computer. Spoiler alert – Apple did some clever marketing tricks with the whole “more than a 4K TV for each eye” claim it made during the Vision Pro announcement.
