According to Digital Chat Station, the company has developed bigger batteries while simultaneously making the package thinner. The solution will debut in the Ace 3 Pro and will be implemented in all future flagships, including the OnePlus 13.
The new Ace will have at least three color options – plain Black, leather Green, and Ceramic White; the latter will be sold as "Collector's Edition", according to our machine...

Only the Galaxy S25 Ultra will get a camera upgrade, S25 and S25+ to retain the same hardware
Samsung's top-tier Galaxy S25 lineup is more than six months away, but GalaxyClub claims to reveal the trio's camera specs. Unfortunately, only the Galaxy S25 is getting a notable camera upgrade, while the vanilla S25 and the S25+ will settle for the same hardware as their predecessors.
The report claims that the Galaxy S25 and S25+ will get the same triple-camera setup on the back and retain the 12MP selfie unit on the front. This means that the S25 and S25+ will be the fourth generation in a row with the same camera hardware.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra, on the other hand, will boast...

EU settles with Apple over NFC usage by third party payment systems
The European Union has reportedly settled with Apple over its use of near-field communication system (NFC) to allow access for third-party payment platforms.
According to The Financial Times, Apple will give access for the next ten years but only on devices in the 27 member countries, and in return, the European Union will not fine the tech company.
The tap-to-pay function with NFC has been limited to Apple Pay so far and will remain so in all other markets. Three sources told The Times that the EU has been testing the new measures, but the report does raise a valid point that the...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim coming to China this Fall
Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim – that’s what IceUniverse says will be the name of the upcoming entry in the Z Fold series set to launch this October. This device was previously seen in rumors as the Z Fold6 Ultra. The new leaks also suggest Z Fold6 Slim will be heading to China as the Samsung W25. Z Fold6 Slim is not to be confused with the rumored Z Fold6 FE which will be the more affordable entry in the lineup nor with the Z Fold6 which is expected to launch next month at Samsung Unpacked.

Apple iOS 18 Neural Engine reaches impressive score on Geekbench
Apple revealed iOS 18 at the WWDC 2024 earlier this month, promising plenty of AI-infused features. The beta OS is already seeding to developers, and one of them decided to benchmark the CoreML engine, which is used for machine learning.
According to user @lafaiel on X, the machine learning score improved by 25% after an update to iOS 18.
The phone used was an iPhone 15 Pro Max that scored 6,249 in the Geekbench ML Score on iOS 17.5.1 and increased to 7,816 once the phone was updated to iOS 18. While the raw numbers do suggest a 25% increase, real-life improvements are not that...

Here is another look at the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Ring, this time without the pixelization filter. These images were posted by Ice Universe on Weibo and show the new flagship smartwatch in two colorways and the charging case for the ring.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is shown in dark gray and in silver, both with an orange color accent on the digital crown. This is a new development – Galaxy Watches don’t have crowns, they use a rotating bezel for navigation (either a physical or a virtual bezel).

Motorola US confirms June 25 launch date for the Moto Razr 50/Razr 2024 series
The next generation of Motorola Razr foldables is almost here. Lenovo China set the date for June 25, but that could have been just for the local launch. Now Motorola US posted on X with an official confirmation for the date.
The post itself is quite short, just showing a teasing view of two flip foldables – both with faux leather backs, one orange and one purple. By the looks of it, there will be 7 colors, though those might be split between the Motorola Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra, aka Motorola Razr (2024) and Razr+ (2024).

Sony Xperia 1 VII camera rumor points to larger telephoto and ultrawide sensors
A tipster from China shared some early info and renders for the Sony Xperia VII’s cameras. There is plenty of room for doubt regarding the validity of these rumors as the tipster does not have a solid track record of prior leaks but it's still interesting to see what Sony could be up to with its next-generation Xperia.
Sony is reportedly looking to break up the vertical camera alignment seen on past Xperia 1 devices and separate the telephoto lens from the main and ultrawide cameras. This move is said to free up enough space inside the device for a 1/2.3-inch telephoto sensor compared to...

Realme GT 6 price, memory options in Europe leak ahead of launch
Realme is launching the GT 6 smartphone on Thursday, June 20, and we expect to see a phone with a 50 MP main camera with OIS and Sony-LYT808 sensor. Previous reports suggested the phone would be the international version of the Realme GT Neo6, available in China, and now we get an European price to add to the list of known details.

Assassin's Creed Mirage for iPhone review
Assassin's Creed Mirage is the latest AAA title to be released for iOS and iPadOS. It is the last of the four major games that were announced during the iPhone 15 keynote in 2023, the others being Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4, and Death Stranding Director's Cut.

Deals: Nothing Phone (2), Galaxy S23 and iPhone 15 Pro see price drops
The Nothing Phone (3) isn’t coming this year, CEO Carl Pei confirmed. It looks like the company is focusing on the CMF Phone 1 for now. So, we’ll have a look at the Nothing Phone (2) instead. This launched in mid-2023 with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and some features that still keep it competitive.
The phone has an LTPO display, a 6.7” 120Hz 10-bit panel with FHD+ resolution, and 15W wireless charging (wired is 45W), things that some mid-rangers skip. There’s also the 50MP main (1/1.56”) and 50MP ultra wide cameras, plus a 32MP selfie. And, of course, the unique Glyph lights at the back.

iQOO Neo9 Pro hands-on review
iQOO launched the iQOO Neo9 and Neo9 Pro last year in China, but only one smartphone escaped the country - the iQOO Neo9, which was introduced as the Neo9 Pro in India. The most notable difference between the Chinese Neo9 - called Neo9 Pro globally - and the Chinese Neo9 Pro is in the chipset and camera departments.
The Neo9 Pro is powered by Dimensity 9300 SoC and features a 50MP ultrawide camera, while the Neo9 has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip at the helm and sports an 8MP ultrawide camera. We used the Indian iQOO Neo9 Pro - sharing hardware with the Chinese Neo9 - for over a month, and...

Weekly poll: Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro go global, any takers?
The Honor 200 and 200 Pro are expanding to a global audience – pre-orders start today, open sales on July 28. The vanilla phone is priced £500 (and comes with a free JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi), while the Pro model is £700 (comes with Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 8 50W BT speaker).
Honor 200 • Honor 200 Pro
The two are quite similar, except that the Honor 200 Pro has a larger, curved 6.78” display, a more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and 66W wireless charging for the 5,200mAh battery. The cameras are slightly different too, with a larger 1/1.3” 50MP sensor in the main on the back and...

Weekly poll results: the Redmi 13 doesn't offer enough bang for your buck
Over the years, the Xiaomi Redmi number series has built a reputation for itself as solid value for money phones, though some were better than others. Will the Redmi 13 fall in the “better” category? Well, judging by last week’s poll, the answer is “no”. Let’s have a closer look to see what went wrong.
Price is definitely a major concern – at $180/€170, the Redmi 13 isn’t expensive, just expensive for what it offers. It’s a 4G phone, with one of the older Helio chipsets (well, it’s old on the inside) and a 90Hz IPS LCD.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra gets a free storage upgrade, so the 512GB model costs what the 256GB one normally does - $1,300.

The Oppo F27 Pro+ was announced this week as one of the toughest phones that still looks normal. It is the first model in India to carry an IP69 rating (protection against high temperature water jets) and it has military-grade durability (MIL-STD-810H).

Earlier this week Honor held its global launch for the Honor 200 series and we got to spend some time with the Honor 200 which slots in the middle between the affordable 200 Lite and more premium 200 Pro.
At first glance, Honor 200 looks and feels nearly identical to its Pro sibling. It’s only after you take a closer look at the display that you notice the single punch hole cutout which houses a 50MP main cam but omits the 2MP depth helper from the Pro model.

OnePlus Ace 3 Pro battery and charging details leak
OnePlus is working on the Ace 3 Pro, and upper-midrange smartphone that should slot in its portfolio right underneath the flagship OnePlus 12. This is likely to only launch in China, but it could end up being released internationally under a different name - after all, the already available Ace 3 is sold in global markets as the 12R, while the Ace 3V is rumored to be rebranded as Nord 4 for international markets in the coming weeks.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 stars in a new hands-on video
We are less than a month away from the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6's official unveiling on July 10 and we now get to see a hands-on video of what appears to be a Galaxy Z Fold6 dummy.
The video confirms what we've already seen in numerous leaked renders of the device. It compares the Z Fold6 dummy to an actual Z Fold5, and the differences in the bodies are quite notable.
Right off the bat, we see the Z Fold6 take a more blocky design with sharp corners, similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra's. The outer screen is wider and has considerably thinner bezels. The main display also gets thinner...

Complete Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 spec sheet leaks
We’ve been hearing a lot about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, but now its entire spec sheet leaked out – and it confirmed that major changes are coming. Samsung has rethought the floor plan of the device and while some features won’t change, the experience might be quite different.
Let’s start with the size. As you can see in the table below, the phone got a millimeter shorter and wider, but the aspect ratios of the two screens are more different than these measurements suggest. The important thing here is that the phone is thinner and lighter, which should make it feel closer to a...

OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite leaks in live image, runs Geekbench too
OnePlus has already launched the Nord CE4 in April, but we're still waiting for the CE4 Lite and the Nord 4 to get official. Now the Nord CE4 Lite has been leaked in the live image you can see below, which reveals the fact that it will have a 50 MP main camera.
The phone is likely to be a rebranded Oppo K12x, and it will have the model number CPH2621. The unit in the leaked image seems to have a silvery color, and a glass back. The frame is flat, unsurprisingly since that's been the trend for a while now.

Reuters: MediaTek is working on a Windows-on-ARM chip for Microsoft
Microsoft has redoubled its efforts to push Windows-on-ARM into the mainstream with the recent string of Snapdragon X laptops from Microsoft itself, Samsung, Dell, HP and Lenovo. But the company wants to offer more diverse options for manufacturers – Reuters reports that Microsoft has tapped MediaTek to design an alternative chipset.
The chip will be based on the standard library of ARM cores, which will speed up development (the Snapdragon X uses Qualcomm-designed CPU and GPU). It’s not clear whether the MediaTek design aims to qualify for the Copilot+ program, which requires at least 40...

X is now making Likes private for everyone
What posts you liked on X used to be publicly available information, which would sometimes get people in trouble, so now the social platform, previously known as Twitter, is starting to make that data private.

Shocking: iOS 18 lets you hide app labels on your home screen
AI is one thing (or two, actually, since it can either mean Artificial Intelligence or Apple Intelligence, as we found out yesterday), but have you noticed how many new customization features Apple packed into iOS 18? It's almost like it wants to finally give people some Android-like choices following many, many years of "we know best".
So you can now move home screen icons wherever you want, and even - please sit down for this one - have empty spaces. On your home screen. Steve Jobs is probably rolling in his grave. But wait, there's more! The intrepid folks over at MacRumors have...

Analyst: the foldable iPhone will have an outward folding design like the Huawei Mate Xs 2
Apple’s event yesterday focused on software and the company didn’t say much about hardware. But the company is working on at least two foldable devices behind the scenes – one 20.3” MacBook, which is reportedly closer to completion, and one 7.9” foldable iPhone.
The latter will have an outward folding design, similar to the Huawei Mate Xs 2, according to analyst Jeff Pu. This means a single display that covers the front and back of the device when folded and straightens out a flat singular display when opened.

The latest mosaic leak by Evan Blass deatails another of Samsung's upcoming devices. It's seemingly the Galaxy Watch7 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold6.

Deals: Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S9+ are $250 off
A few weeks ago, a free storage upgrade for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra brought the price of the 12/512GB model down to $1,300. Now that same model is $1,170. It has been at that price before, so there is some fluctuation. The good news is that this time the 12/256GB model is discounted too and can be had for $1,050 – and that is the lowest that we have seen.
