Buyers of the 256GB OnePlus 12R are now entitled to a full refund

The OnePlus 12R recently reached North American and European shores but those who bought a 256GB storage version prior are now entitled to a full refund if they are willing to return their device.

To recap, OnePlus was advertising that the 16GB RAM and 256GB storage trim OP 12R was packing UFS 4.0 storage while it was actually using the slower UFS 3.1 type as later confirmed by OnePlus President and COO Kinder Liu. The executive now confirmed that all buyers of the 256GB storage OnePlus 12R are entitled to a full refund valid until March 16.

Nothing Phone (2a) emerges in benchmark listing

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. Still, this is our first look at what the Phone (2a) could provide in terms of raw power.

YouTube doesn't have an official app for Apple's Vision Pro yet, but it's working on one now - after having initially opted out altogether. It is however unclear when that may arrive.

Samsung Galaxy A35 found in the Google Play Console

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy A35 is one phone that can't seem to stop leaking in recent days. Today we have yet another encounter with it, this time in the Google Play Console, where it's been listed ahead of its launch.

This gives us the image you can see below, showing the phone's front with a rather symmetrical bezel arrangement around the screen (but not entirely, the bottom one is still a bit thicker), the centered hole-punch for the selfie camera, and the very recognizable Samsung design on the back with the three individual camera circles.

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.

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...

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.
