iPhone 15 Pro dummy shows tweaks to the button layout

The upcoming iPhone 15 Pro duo is rumored to have titanium frames instead of stainless steel. Also, reports claim that the Pro models will switch to solid-state buttons, similar to what happened to the Home key of iPhones of old. Someone got their hands on an iPhone 15 Pro dummy unit, which shows a slightly different button layout from the 14 series. The Volume rocker is now longer, perhaps to make it easier to use now that it’s not an actual rocker. Apple iPhone 15 Pro dummy shows the tweaks to the button layout on the side, USB-C port on the bottom How will the...

Samsung working on a foldable tablet called the Galaxy Z Tab

Samsung’s next generation of flagship tablets, the Galaxy Tab S9 series, is inching closer to official status amid numerous leaks. The company may have a surprise in store for us – a foldable tablet, which will be unveiled at the same time as the Tab S9 series, according to @Tech_Reve. The so-called Galaxy Z Tab will become part of the Z-series of foldables. Unfortunately, little else is known about the device – will it be a triple foldable like earlier rumors imagined? That’s unclear and perhaps even unlikely (having two hinges will significantly increase the complexity). Here’s what...

Samsung reportedly working on optimizing the AMD GPU for the next Exynos flagship chipset

Samsung and AMD recently extended their licensing agreement for use of Radeon graphics in Exynos chipsets. While it wasn't spelled out explicitly, this preparation for the next chip from Samsung LSI, which is tentatively named Exynos 2500. The focus with the new design will be on optimization. That’s pretty vague, but AMD already has high performance hardware – the problem lies in getting it to scale down to smartphone power levels. So the focus will likely be on improving efficiency rather than increasing performance (that said, in a thermally constrained smartphone they are almost one...

Xiaomi 13 Ultra prices leak

Now that we have official confirmation from on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra launch we can only start to wonder how much Xiaomi will charge for its upcoming top-tier flagship.

Flashback: the LG BL40 New Chocolate put a cinema in your pocket with its 4" 21:9 display

How wide is too wide? That’s a silly question, LG thought in 2009 when it released the LG BL40 New Chocolate. With a 4” display of cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio, this phone was unique for its time – at that point a typical phone had a 4:3 or 3:2 display, while media-focused devices went 16:9 to match the emerging HDTV standards. But 21:9 was unheard of. To some extent aspect ratio dictates what kind of content is viewed. The earliest TVs had squarish ratios because they mostly showed newscasters – portrait images, basically. The growing number of TVs at home pushed cinemas to go wider to...

Weekly poll: is the Motorola Edge 40 Pro your next flagship?

Motorola is launching the Moto Edge 40 Pro in Europe in the coming days and will soon make it available in South America as well. The base model has 12GB of RAM and 256GB storage and costs €900/£800. That’s less than you would pay for a Galaxy S23+ from Samsung. And the Motorola has certain advantages. For example, its 6.67” OLED display is a 10-bit panel with 165Hz refresh rate. It doesn’t have QHD+ resolution (it’s FHD+) and isn’t an LTPO panel, but the same goes for the Samsung too. Both phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but as we already mentioned, the Moto has...

Weekly poll results: positive reviews and a good price can help Huawei's Mate X3 and P60 Pro

Not having access to the Google Play Services or new 5G networks isn’t ideal, but some are prepared to live with that. A high price, however, might be a deal-breaker. We’re a month away from learning the pricing that Huawei has in mind for its new Mate X3 and P60 Pro and that will be crucial to their success. Last week’s poll shows that there is a large contingent of people who haven’t bought into the idea of foldables yet. Those aside, most people are waiting to see the reviews and the price tag of the Huawei Mate X3 before making a decision. Almost as many people (the difference...

Xiaomi 13T Pro surfaces online, could launch with Dimensity 9200

Xiaomiui unearthed an interesting entry in the IMEI database - the Xiaomi 13T Pro as well as its Chinese counterpart, the Redmi K60 Ultra. The database reveals the model numbers and signals nearing release. The model numbers are 23078PND5G and 23078RKD5C for the 12T Pro and the Redmi K60 Ultra, respectively. The "2307" part of the serial numbers suggests that the devices will see their release sometime in July this year, which isn't too far off given that the K50 Ultra was released in August last year. In any case, the global 13T Pro will surely come a month or two after the Chinese...
