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.

The other details we got is that Z Fold6 Slim will be lighter and thinner than the regular Z Fold6 while...

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...

Leaked images show the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, plus the Galaxy Ring in its charging chase

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). Note that while we’re calling this a “crown”, it might just be another...

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).

Psst! Some flip-worthy news is coming......

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...

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...
