The Infinix Note 60 series will use Snapdragon chipsets

Infinix's upcoming Note 60 series will use Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets, the brand has officially confirmed today. This is significant because it's the first time Infinix has gone the Snapdragon route for its phones in many years - all of the recent ones have been powered by MediaTek SoCs. Infinix says "select models" in the Note 60 series will choose Snapdragon over MediaTek, and through pre-order pages in some markets it's already confirmed that the Note 60 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. Infinix "aims to achieve deeper integration of chipset capabilities" within...

iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max pricing leak brings some good news

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will cost exactly the same as their predecessors, according to a new research note from GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu, a constant purveyor of Apple-related supply chain information. That is obviously very good news, if it pans out, since the pricing stability of smartphones is anything but guaranteed this year given how memory production seems to mostly be going to AI data centers. Pu says Apple is focused on cost management, based on his supply chain research, in order to keep the prices the same as last year. Pu thinks Apple has been...

Following all the leaks, rumors, and speculation, today the inevitable has happened - a new leak brings us full spec sheets for all three members of the upcoming Galaxy S26 family.

Orange is the new black: Apple's record-breaking iPhone sales could be down to new color

Apple announced record-breaking iPhone sales for Q4 2025, which in turn resulted in the best-ever financial quarter for the company, posting $143.8 billion in sales revenue. That's a 16% increase year-over-year, which is quite impressive for a company of this scale. The reason for the unprecedented iPhone demand? Some analysts believe it's the color orange. China seems to be a big contributor to Apple's recent success. While previous quarters had either flat or declining sales in the country, the fourth quarter last year turned out to be a resounding success for the smartphone maker...

Infinix Note 60 Pro will borrow a feature from the Nothing Phone (3)

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

Bluetooth SIG has listed multiple models of the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G, which are all region-specific versions, with the one bearing model designation SM-A576S expected to be released exclusively through SK Telecom in South Korea. Leaked...

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.

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...
