Redmi is working on three smartphones with 10,000 mAh batteries

According to a new rumor from the prolific Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Redmi is currently working on not one, not two, but three different smartphones which will all have a 10,000 mAh battery. The battery used in these handsets will be single-cell (so no chance of seeing it in the EU unfortunately), and will support 100W wired charging. The devices that will use it will be both in the mainstream Note line, as well as in the performance-oriented K series. The Redmi Notes in China have, in recent years, either been quite different from their similarly-named international...

New batch of Sony Xperia 1 VIII renders detail its dimensions

We’ve got a new batch of renders for the upcoming Xperia 1 VIII, and they are our best look at the device yet. According to MyMobiles, we’re looking at the finalized design, and the source assures us they are based on the same CAD data used by Sony suppliers. They depict a familiar design upfront with a tall and narrow-looking display with the front-facing camera integrated inside the top bezel next to the earpiece. Earlier renders suggested we might see a punch-hole cutout approach, but it seems that’s not going to be the case. The new renders suggest the bezel width will be unchanged...

Nothing launched the Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro last month running the latest Nothing OS 4.1 on top of Android 16.

iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Ultra dummy units leak

Dummy units have leaked today showing the shapes of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Ultra (which is the name the iPhone Fold is rumored to actually get). The dummy units are created based on CAD renders sent to case makers, so they are usually accurate with the most important details - things like the overall shape and dimensions, as well as the shape and size of the camera islands. In the family shot above you can see that the iPhone Ultra is missing MagSafe support, which is an interesting omission for sure. We obviously can't tell if it has wireless...

vivo X500 series screen details leak

vivo's upcoming flagship series will probably be called X500, to avoid the number 4 due to tetraphobia. These will of course be the successors to the X300 line. Today in China, prolific leaker Digital Chat Station has seemingly revealed what we can expect from the X500 family in terms of screens. While he doesn't mention the exact model names, he does say there will be one device with a 6.37-inch flat LTPO OLED display with 1.5K resolution, and another device employing a 6.83-inch flat LTPO OLED panel with 2K resolution.

These are the camera upgrades coming to the next iPhone generations

Apple has twice so far been rumored to explore a 200MP camera for upcoming iPhones. The first time it was supposedly going to be the main camera, and then, a few days ago, we heard about a 200MP telephoto camera that would only arrive in 2028. Today a new leak from Digital Chat Station on Weibo clears up some of the confusion. According to him, Apple will launch a big camera update every year starting with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max this September. Those two are getting the much-rumored variable aperture.

More details about the iPhone 18 Pro's hero color leak

Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to have a new 'hero' color - the one that gets marketed the most, like Cosmic Orange was for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 won't upgrade battery, charging

Last month, we heard that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 will have a 4,300 mAh battery, the same as last year's Galaxy Z Flip7. A new rumor out of South Korea confirms it, while also shedding light on the Flip8's battery charging speed. The source claims that the Galaxy Z Flip8 won't get any charging speed upgrades either, meaning the smartphone will support 25W wired charging. That's not just the same as last year's Flip7, but also the Flip4 launched in 2022, as Samsung hasn't upgraded the charging speed on the Flip models since then. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8's leaked CAD-based render...

iPhone 18 to have some important cost-cutting downgrades, new rumor claims

The 'vanilla' iPhone 18 has long been rumored to miss its traditional September launch window this year. It's instead said to land next spring at the same time as the iPhone 18e, leaving only the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Fold (or is that iPhone Ultra?) to be unveiled at Apple's annual event in September. Now, a leaker from China claims that not only will the iPhone 18 launch alongside the iPhone 18e, but it will be more similar to the affordable model than you may expect. That's because Apple is allegedly going to cut some costs in the iPhone 18, we assume due to...
