Nothing Phone (2a) price leaks ahead of March 5 unveiling

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.

And that's right where today's leak comes in. According to a source in France, over in the EU, the Nothing Phone (2a) with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage will be priced at €349. There will be an additional version, with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, this one going for €399 instead.

Of course this is just an unconfirmed rumor at this point, so keep that...

Samsung Galaxy F15 5G runs Geekbench ahead of its release

Samsung launched the Galaxy F14 in March last year, so the Galaxy F15's release is rapidly approaching, even if it's still not official. Either way, a prototype F15 5G just ran Geekbench earlier today, and it managed a 690 single-core score and a 1,752 multi-core score.

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...

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series comes with a feature called Instant Slow-Mo, which turns a regular video into a slow-mo clip with the help of AI, eliminating the need to record a video in native Slow-Mo mode.

Samsung Galaxy A35 runs Geekbench with Exynos 1380

The Galaxy A55 is expected to run on the new Exynos 1480 – we saw as much in a Geekbench scorecard. Its sibling, the Galaxy A35, will instead use the previous chip, the Exynos 1380, and we have the Geekbench result to prove it.

The Samsung Galaxy A45 (SM-A356E) was equipped with 8GB of RAM and Android 14 (undoubtedly with One UI 6.x on top). The 1380 chip is fabbed at Samsung’s 5nm EUV foundries and has four Cortex-A78 cores (2.4GHz) and four A55 cores (2.0GHz), plus an ARM Mali-G68 GPU.

Honor Magic V2 RSR Porsche Design in for review

Honor signed a partnership with Porsche Design, and the first product that was born of the joint venture is the Magic V2 RSR. The RSR letters mean RennSport Rennwagen, which is literally translated as racing sports racing car, while the design of the phone is inspired by the race track version of Porsche 911 cars.

Porsche Design added a couple of cool design elements to Honor's amazing foldable without making the device gaudy or obnoxious. On the contrary, Magic V2 RSR has a deluxe feeling straight out of the box.

The unit ships in a similar retail package as the regular Magic V2,...

The vivo V30 series consists of two smartphones - V30 and V30 Lite. These will be soon joined by the V30 Pro, which was recently spotted on Geekbench and has now appeared in leaked renders.

The images show the vivo V30 Pro in two colors and reveal the smartphone will pack a curved display and sport triple rear cameras. We also see ZEISS branding, meaning we could see some ZEISS bokeh styles for the Portrait mode from vivo's X series.

Leaked renders of the Huawei Pocket 2 flip foldable show off three colorways

Huawei launched two horizontal foldables last year, the Mate X3 and Mate X5, but no vertical foldable – the last one is the Huawei Pocket S from late 2022. A new model is finally on its way and leakster Fixed Focus Digital shared early renders of it on Weibo.

The Huawei Pocket 2 is shown in three colorways: a plain black, Dark Purple (which seems to have a leather texture) and Rococo White (which has a marble look to it).

Huawei Pocket 2 renders: Black • Dark Purple • Rococo White

Xiaomi Watch 2 listed by European retailers ahead of announcement

Several stores in Europe have jumped the gun and started selling the Xiaomi Watch 2, a cheaper version of the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro, even though Xiaomi is yet to announce the watch officially.

A couple of stores in Belgium are charging €200 for it, one in Slovakia has it priced at €250. We guess the former is the intended price as the Pro model can easily be found for €230 these days (it launched at €270 for the Bluetooth model and €330 for the LTE one).
