The Nothing Phone (4a) and (4a) Pro are rumored to be launching globally in early March, and today Nothing has pretty much confirmed that they're coming soon, by starting the teaser campaign for the duo.

Infinix is unveiling the Note 60 series soon, and a week ago the RAM and storage amounts were revealed for the Note 60, Note 60 Pro, and Note 60 Ultra. Now, a pre-order link shared by Infinix's Instagram account for Nigeria outs some more details about the Note 60 Pro. The phone is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 SoC, as previously revealed by its FCC certification. One of the Note 60 Pro's unique selling points will undoubtedly be its dot matrix display that's part of the big camera island. This reminds us of the Nothing Phone (3), and it looks like Infinix really...

Weekly poll: are you interested in the Moto G67 or Moto G77? What about the G17 or G17 Power?

At the end of January, Motorola unveiled two mid-range models, the Moto G67 and Moto G77, and two entry-level phones, the Moto G17 and G17 Power. What do you think – can one of these be your next phone or do you have another model in mind? The Motorola Moto G77 features a 6.78” 120Hz OLED display, a sharp 1,272 x 2,772px panel with 10-bit colors, HDR support and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. That’s great for multimedia, but the Dimensity 6400 chipset isn’t suitable for serious gaming. The G77’s claim to fame is the 108MP main camera with OIS that has native 3x in-sensor zoom. It can...

OpenAI's first hardware product will be AI-powered earbuds

According to a Chinese tipster on Weibo, OpenAI is gearing up to launch its first hardware product - a pair of earbuds, of course, powered by the company's own AI model. According to the report, the company decided to scale back on its hardware efforts for the time being, likely because of the rising hardware costs. At first, OpenAI was rumored to be working on a small pendant or a pen, which is in line with the CEO Sam Altman's remarks about the device being more "peaceful and calm" than a smartphone. Especially after OpenAI hired Apple's ex-chief designer Jony Ive. Plans have...

Weekly poll results: most people still don't care about magnetic charging

Last week we asked you how important magnetic wireless charging is to you. For now, the majority doesn’t particularly care – at best it’s a “nice to have” feature for them but nothing vital. The argument is simple, especially now that the whole world has converged on USB-C for charging – just use a cable. It’s faster and more efficient than any form of wireless charging. There is a caveat – many of the people who reported that they use wired charging only also said that they don’t need top-ups during the day. These days, phone batteries have gotten quite huge, so finding a phone that...

Weekly deals: OnePlus 13 is back with a vengeance, Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL on sale

There are two sayings that can’t both be true at the same time: “newer is better” and “old but gold”. Today, we’re going with the second one. Amazon dug up some left over OnePlus 13 units – only 12/256GB – and is selling them at $700. Coincidentally, that is the same price that the new OnePlus 15R sells for (to be fair, that also comes with a $100 gift card or store credit). The OnePlus 13 has the better screen (1440p+ LTPO vs. 1272p+ LTPS), better cameras (triple 50MP including a 3x/73mm periscope vs. no tele camera at all), even its chipset is better – the Snapdragon 8 Elite edges out...

Samsung Galaxy A57 5G inches closer to launch as it gets Bluetooth certified

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A56 last March, but it's rumored to introduce the Galaxy A57 5G early, that is, in the second week of this month, meaning next week.

Poco X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max prices officially revealed by mistake

We get a ton of leaks and rumors about upcoming devices as you probably know, but this one is something special. It's not actually a leak. Instead, someone in charge of Poco's official website for Belgium mistakenly uploaded pricing information for the yet-unannounced Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max. The images in question (which you can see below) were quickly taken down, but the Internet is forever, so there's no hiding now. Let's start with the Poco X8 Pro. It will go for €399.90 in its base configuration with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The model with 512GB of space will be priced...

Oppo K14 is on the way too, certification reveals

Oppo is launching the K14x in India next week, and it's also working on the K14 Turbo and K14 Turbo Pro for China. There will, however, also be a 'vanilla' Oppo K14. This has been revealed through its certification by the Bluetooth SIG. It has the model number CPH2869, whereas the K14x (which was also certified by the same authority) has the model number CPH2871. No other details are known about the K14 yet, but its model number reveals that it's headed to international markets outside of China. We'll let you know when we find out more about it. Via

Samsung Galaxy S26 official renders leak

Following up on the earlier leak showing the Galaxy S26 Ultra from all angles through a 360-degree video, Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) is now back with some very official-looking high-res renders depicting what seems to be the vanilla Galaxy S26. Of course there's a chance it's the S26+ in these images, but based on how much the camera island occupies of the total length, it's a tad more likely it's the S26. Samsung Galaxy S26 leaked renders There is, of course, nothing new here, but we are seeing the white color and all of the previously leaked features of the design are...

Honor Magic V6 certified with top of the line charging speed

Honor is unveiling the Magic V6 foldable smartphone at MWC in Barcelona in a few weeks, and ahead of that, the device has seemingly now been certified for sale in China by 3C. This process reveals two model numbers: PNM-AN10 and PNM-AN20. The former is believed to be the regular model, while the latter will offer satellite connectivity. Most intriguingly, however, this certification also reveals that the Magic V6 will support 120W wired charging. That's the fastest we've ever seen on a foldable smartphone, and should pair very well with the Magic V6's battery capacity, which is...

Yesterday, Google finally confirmed that the Pixel 10a is coming soon - on February 18, to be precise. The company showed us one colorway, but past rumors and leaks claimed there would be four in total, called Obsidian, Fog, Berry, and Lavender.

Quick Share-AirDrop interoperability is coming to all Android phones soon

Google delighted its Pixel users last year by introducing an updated version of Quick Share that worked with Apple's AirDrop, but it has remained exclusive to the Pixel 10 series with a promise to bring it to older Pixel phones as well. Now Eric Kay, Vice President of Engineering at Google, confirmed that Quick Share compatibility with Apple's AirDrop is coming to a wider range of Android devices. Maybe the signs were there all along after Google upgraded the Quick Share Extension from a system app to a full-fledged APK that can be found on Google Play. This was a clear sign that...
