Samsung Galaxy S27 series might have a new camera placement, here's why

According to a new rumor from Korea, Samsung is now considering changing the position of the cameras in the upcoming Galaxy S27 family. It's unclear how the design of the camera island will change, but if this pans out it will be a pretty significant redesign - Samsung smartphones have for years been associated with the current camera island placement, which you can see below. Apparently the company's reason to do this isn't just cosmetic - the camera reshuffle might be required in order for Samsung to finally fit magnets to the rear of its flagship slab-style smartphones. The magnets...

Weekly poll results: the Poco X8 Pro Max is a fan favorite, Poco X8 Pro is liked but not loved

Poco knows its audience – that’s what we get from last week’s poll. For this year’s X series, the company added a new class, the Pro Max, and it completely overshadowed the regular Pro. Poco X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max at a glance The Poco X8 Pro Max is going to be a hit – the budding flagship killer got an overwhelmingly positive response in our poll. It got knocked for its camera – people still remember the 108MP shooter on the X5 Pro – and for still featuring a USB 2.0 port. But this applies to the Pro as well. Meanwhile, the Pro Max has a great chipset, huge battery and a huge...

OnePlus Pad 4 in for review

Today, we are taking a look at the new OnePlus Pad 4, the company’s latest premium Android tablet. But first, let’s do a quick unboxing. The OnePlus Pad 4 packaging is very simple, and comes in the familiar red and white colorway. Inside, the tablet itself takes very little of the vertical room, thanks to its slim 5.94mm profile. Most of the height is taken up by the 80W fast charger, along with the matching cable. There’s not much else in the box. The OnePlus Pad 4 is a relatively straightforward iterative update over the OnePlus Pad 3. It replaces the Snapdragon 8...

Google might be doing away with the Fitbit brand

There is no doubt that Fitbit still has enormous brand recognition. Whether or not the company’s current offerings are your best option is certainly debatable, but the make carries a lot of weight. Well, who better to potentially start killing it off than Google? The company certainly has a dark track record of mishandling brands and products. The situation might not be too bad at the moment, though. We are certainly only piecing clues together, and there is no formal announcement yet. Still, people noticed that on the software side of things, in some markets (mostly European), on the...

Google Photos AI Enhance is now live for all users

Google seems to be working hard on expanding its editing options in Google Photos. We recently saw the online titan add a quick facial touch-up feature. Now another similar feature has gone live. It is a very simple and straightforward “AI Enhance” button that sits beside the Enhance and Dynamic buttons that were already present in the Auto tab in the image editor. We tried it for ourselves, and while it can restore highlights and shadows quite effectively and deal with common issues caused by bad lighting and boost colors slightly, it is nothing truly spectacular in any way....

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 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...

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. There's also a third option that's allegedly still pending (so...
