iQOO Z9 Turbo specs leak

vivo sub-brand iQOO made the Z9 official a couple of days or so ago, but now according to a new rumor it seems like it's already working on an improved version. The iQOO Z9 Turbo is coming, according to prolific (and often accurate) Weibo leakster Digital Chat Station.

The Turbo model will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC which is due to be announced next week, compared to the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 that's inside the 'vanilla' Z9.

Google 2024 I/O conference set for May 14

OnePlus confirms the Ace 3V is powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset

For a few weeks now, the upcoming OnePlus Ace 3V has been leaking left and right, and one thing all of the rumors about it had it common was an insistence that it would be powered by Qualcomm's yet-unannounced Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC. Up until today, that was still just a rumored spec for the device, however.

But now, OnePlus itself confirmed it through its official Weibo account. The Ace 3V does indeed have the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 at the helm, and that could mean the next Nord device - Nord 4 or Nord 5, depending on whether OnePlus wants to skip the unlucky 4 - will also have this chipset...

Motorola is launching a new smartphone on April 3

Motorola recently unveiled the Moto G (2024) and Moto G Power 5G (2024), and we now learn the brand will introduce a new smartphone on April 3.

We received an email from Motorola's Indian branch asking us to save that date to witness the "fusion of art and intelligence." The brand didn't divulge anything else, and there's nothing to ascertain about the smartphone from the graphic sent by Motorola.

This event could be about the Motorola Edge 50 Pro that surfaced last week in different colors, with its screen having the April 3 date. However, the days don't match since April 3, 2024,...

Watch the ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra livestream here

Not that long ago, Asus Zenfones came in two sizes – a small vanilla one and a larger Pro/Flip. But those days are behind us and if you bought an Asus phone in the last few years, you either got the petite Zenfone flagship or the large ROG Phone with all of its “gaming phone” styling (though the ROG Phone 8/8 Pro were optimized for more mainstream appeal).

Today comes the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra and it marks the return to larger screens and batteries for Asus’ non-gaming phone line. Well, we assume so by the name – and by the copious leaks – as the company has not confirmed concrete...

Back in mid-February, OpenAI unveiled Sora, its generative AI model that creates videos from text prompts or even a still image and can also edit videos or extend them by filling in or adding frames.
