Insta360 files countersuits against DJI in the US for infringing its patents related to gimbal and 360° camera tech

Camera company Insta360 launched the Luna Ultra three days ago. On the same day, DJI sued Insta360 in the US for how similar the Luna Ultra is to its upcoming Osmo Pocket 4P. Now, Insta360 has filed two countersuits against DJI in the US, asserting DJI infringed its patents related to gimbal and 360° camera tech. Insta360 says the patents infringed by DJI relate to gimbal stabilization, gimbal directional control, camera smooth stabilization, telemetry overlay, and panoramic video stabilization tech, all incorporated into several DJI products, including the Osmo Pocket series, Ronin/RS...

Honor X7e Plus 5G is coming to join the X7e

Honor launched the X7e 4G earlier this month, and if you've been wondering whether this phone would get a 5G option, the answer seems to be "yes, kind of". The Honor X7e Plus 5G has now been certified for sale in the UAE by TDRA and it's also been spotted in the SGS database. We're not sure exactly what makes this a "Plus" aside from the 5G connectivity, so we can't be sure how similar it is to the already launched X7e 4G. But based on the SGS certification, we can assume the X7e Plus 5G will be offered in the EU and Saudi Arabia too. Honor X7e Plus 5G...

Nothing Ear (3a) price leaks alongside colors

Nothing unveiled the Ear (3) earbuds in September of last year, but just like the Nothing Headphone (1) has a cheaper version in the Nothing Headphone (a), the company is also going to launch the Ear (3a) as a more affordable alternative to the Ear (3) soon. A new leak today tells us that the Ear (3a) will be available in white, black, yellow, and pink. Their pricing in France is expected to be €99. That's the same price at which the Nothing Ear (a) launched back in 2024. Nothing Ear (3) For comparison, note that the Nothing Ear (3) launched at €179 in the Eurozone. So the Ear (3a)...

Tecno Pova 8 unboxing and hands-on

This is the brand-new Tecno Pova 8, and it brings a design-first approach to the lower midrange segment. But first order of business, what do you get in the box? Pova 8 ships with a clear silicone case, a 45W charger and a USB-C cable. Now that we have that covered, we can go over the phone’s key feature – the Alive Matrix Display. It’s a tiny LED status display, which occupies its own cutout in the triangular camera island. With 104 individual LEDs, it can quickly alert you for incoming notifications but that’s far from the only useful bit. Similar to the Nothing Phone (3)...

Honor X80 Pro Max leaked hands-on images confirm its gigantic battery

The Honor X80 Pro Max is coming later this month with a rumored 11,000 mAh battery, paired with support for 90W fast wired charging. Now, the device has seemingly been caught out in the open somewhere in China, and the following hands-on images ensued. The rear seems to have a fake leather finish, and as you can see it's two-tone. The huge central circular camera island advertises a 50MP sensor (probably for the main camera), while the screen has tiny bezels on all four sides and a centered punch-hole for the selfie camera. Honor X80 Pro Max leaked hands-on images According to...

Moto G Max silently launches as a rebranded Moto G87

Motorola launched the Moto G87 back in late April, releasing it in May, and now it's kind of launched it again, in Brazil. But it's called Moto G Max over there for whatever reason. The Moto G Max can be yours from Motorola's Brazilian online store for BRL 2,519.10, which right now translates into $488. [#InlinePriceWidget,14644,1#] For that amount of cash you get a smartphone with a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with "1.5K" resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 5,000-nit peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass 7i on top. The device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM...

The new Tecno Pova 8 boasts an 8,000mAh battery, Alive Matrix Display on its back

With the Pova 7, Tecno took a page out of Nothing’s book with the Delta Light Interface, a triangular strip of light with 104 LEDs. Now the company is going to the next level with the Alive Matrix Display. This is a small dot-matrix display in the third “lens” of the camera island (there’s only one actual camera on there, despite appearances). The new Tecno Pova 8 is an upgrade over the Pova 7 in some respects, but a downgrade in others. It has a larger 8,000mAh battery (up from 6,000mAh). TÜV SÜD has tested the phone and found that it lasts 2 days on a single charge. That’s not all – the...

Samsung is already working on Galaxy A18 firmware builds

Samsung is currently working on the Galaxy A18 4G, in fact the company is already developing test firmware for the device as you can see in the screenshot below which originates on Samsung's test server for Europe. The phone will have the model number SM-A185F. Interestingly, because Samsung is using the SHA256 hash for these builds instead of the older MD5 format, the Galaxy A18 4G may launch with One UI 9 on board from day one. If that's the case, then it will only get official in late summer or in the fall, since One UI 9 is expected to make its debut next month on the company's...

Samsung Galaxy S27 surfaces for the first time

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 has now been spotted in the GSM Association's IMEI database. This confirms its name and its model number, that is SM-S952 with a letter affixed to that, which signifies which market(s) it's intended for. The specific model in the IMEI database is the SM-S952U, as you can see in the screenshot below. This one is going to US carriers. Of course, having this confirmation that the Galaxy S27 is actually in development, and will be sold in the US through the big three carriers, is anything but surprising. And yet, it's nice to have, as the IMEI database...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra's battery capacity could disappoint you

Samsung is expected to be launching the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra alongside the Galaxy Tab S12+ later this year (possibly in September, which is when its predecessor got official in 2025). The device will allegedly have the exact same battery capacity as the Tab S11 Ultra, according to a new report. Unfortunately, Samsung has decided not to go past 11,600 mAh for whatever reason. Since it's literally the same battery pack, it's also very likely to top out at 45W wired charging capacity, just like the S11 Ultra. Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra Interestingly, the Galaxy Tab S12+ is said to...
