This is rumored to be India's first Snapdragon 8 Elite powered smartphone

Image
The Realme GT7 Pro is getting official in China before the end of this month. But you may be waiting for it to launch in India, and wondering when that might happen. According to a rather prolific tipster, the phone will land in India in mid-November, only a few short weeks after its initial unveiling in China. This will make it the first smartphone to arrive in India with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset at the helm. It will be followed by the iQOO 13 on December 3. The Realme GT7 Pro is rumored to cost between INR 55,000 ($654) and INR 60,000 ($713). It will have a 6.7-6.8" "1.5K"... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/oAmvHGZ

Take a look at the OnePlus 13 in all its glory

Image
The OnePlus 13 will be unveiled before the end of this month, after Qualcomm introduces the Snapdragon 8 Elite on Monday. That SoC will power the new OnePlus flagship of course, and if you've been wondering what the phone will look like, wonder no more. Today three different images depicting it have been leaked in China (the last one showing it next to the Oppo Find X8). So we can, for the first time, gawk at the new design, which isn't entirely removed from what we've seen in the OnePlus 12, but has some differences anyway.

Realme GT7 Pro gets unboxed underwater just as reservations start

Image
Realme is making the GT7 Pro official before the end of this month, and it looks like the company can barely contain its excitement about the upcoming smartphone. It already posted a quick unboxing video, with a twist - the unboxing takes place underwater. This is clearly done in order to highlight the device's water resistance rating - IP68/69. In other related news, reservations for the GT7 Pro have been launched in China, where you can pay a mere CNY 1 to place a reservation. If you do so, you'll get a special two-year warranty, apparently, as well as a 30-day worry-free returns... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/Qi7MPGv

Samsung says a new Galaxy is coming on October 21, could be the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition

Image
Samsung has announced it will unveil a new Galaxy on October 21. The brand hasn't revealed the product's name, but we'll likely see the rumored Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition unveiled next Monday. You can watch the video teaser shared by Samsung below. It's also unclear if this upcoming foldable will be called the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition or the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition.

Samsung Galaxy A36 runs Geekbench with a surprising Android version

Image
Samsung is already working on the Galaxy A36, which will obviously be the successor to the Galaxy A35 which launched back in March. Today a prototype A36 has performed quite a few Geekbench runs, and this has revealed the fact that Samsung is testing the device with Android 15 on board. That's a version that Google launched for its Pixels yesterday but which Samsung is only expected to release next year with the arrival of the Galaxy S25 family in January. This probably means that the Galaxy A36 will only land after that, if it is to run Android 15 from day one, which is what the fact it's... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/3AmeQEZ

Honor CEO shows upcoming Magic7 Pro

Image
Honor CEO George Zhao has given us a glimpse at the upcoming Honor Magic7 Pro in a demo he recently did. The phone is housed in one of those camouflage cases, meant for prototypes only, and designed to hide most of their distinctive design features. Thus, as you can see, we can't really tell a lot from these images. What is obvious is that the phone has a pill shaped cutout at the top of the screen housing the selfie camera and 3D face unlock tech. The screen also appears to be curved, just like its predecessor's. Tiny bezels are a given in late 2024 for high-end Chinese phones, and... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/LBp57g9

Realme GT 7 Pro confirmed to arrive this month

Image
Realme is ready to launch the GT7 Pro as early as this month. The confirmation comes from Xu Qi Chase, the brand president of the Chinese maker, who posted some details about the phone on his Weibo page. The executive revealed that the new phone will combine a top-tier Snapdragon flagship chipset with a periscope telephoto lens so that the user "does not have to choose between the two."

Samsung Galaxy A16 5G in for review

The freshly announced Samsung Galaxy A16 5G has landed at our HQ for review, but before we put it through its paces, let's do a quick unboxing and see what's on offer. The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G comes in a white-colored retail box, including some paperwork, a SIM ejector tool, and a charging cable. We've got the blue model, but there are three more colors you can opt for. On the front, we have a 6.7" FullHD+ 90Hz AMOLED screen with a notch for the 13MP selfie camera.

Poco C75 leaked images show some glitzy color versions

Image
A while back the Poco C75 was certified by the FCC on its way to launch, and today we have our first ever leaked renders to look at. These show the device in all three colors in which it will be offered, and while the black one is reasonably subdued, the other two are all glitzy and glamorous - or at least they're trying to be. As you can see, the phone will come in black, gold, and green. It will allegedly be powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB of storage, and will have a 6.88-inch HD+ LCD touchscreen with 120 Hz refresh... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/d3jQua6

Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G is on the way, key specs outed

Image
Xiaomi already announced the 5G-capable Redmi Note 14 Pro, but now it looks like there will be a 4G-only model as well. This has been certified by the FCC under the model number 24116RACCG - that "G" at the end stands for "global". This model will apparently come with a 6.67-inch 1080x2400 pOLED screen, it will have 8/12GB of RAM, 128/256/512GB of storage, and a 5,500 mAh battery. It will run Android 14 with HyperOS 1.0 on top.

vivo X200 Pro mini hands-on review

Image
Today, vivo unveiled its X200 series with the X200, the X200 Pro, and the X200 Pro mini. Undoubtedly, the mini is the most impressive of the bunch. Here, mini means smaller, not inferior. The X200 Pro mini has the same display technology, almost the same cameras, and the same new chipset, only in a more compact, and different-looking package. So what's different? The biggest visual difference is the frosted glass back of the X200 Pro mini. The X200 Pro has a glossy finish. Vivo made a few leaps with the X200 series over the X100.

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra to have a 200MP 4.3x periscope camera

Image
A couple of months ago, Ice Universe reported that the upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra will have a 200MP telephoto camera. Now, fellow Weibo tipsters are providing more details on that camera, which will be exclusive to the Ultra – the vanilla and Pro models will have to settle for 50MP 3x cameras, based on what we’ve heard so far. The Ultra camera will have a 100mm lens, which works out to around 4.3x magnification. The lens will have an f/2.6 aperture. For comparison, the 14 Ultra had a 50MP 120mm periscope (5x) with an f/2.5 lens. Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s 50MP 120mm periscope Note that the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/4fcxqB0

CMF is a Nothing's more affordable sub-brand and it's already released half a dozen products.

Amazon’s Prime Day deals spanned two days earlier this week, but all that is now behind us. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t any good deals to be had, however. In fact, we spotted some new offers that weren’t available on Prime Day. The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is still too new for straight discounts, but both the 128GB and 256GB versions are available with a free $100 Amazon Gift Card in tow.

Weekly poll results: the Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro are great, but pricing is an issue in some regions

Image
The Xiaomi 14T phones are hot stuff and they drew a lot of interest in last week’s poll. However, the pricing is proving to be an issue in some regions. Not all, some commenters are reporting that they managed to get great deals and are happy with their purchase. Still, the results speak for themselves – the Xiaomi 14T Pro poll is nearly evenly split between people who like the phone and people who think that it is too expensive. We had more options in the poll and (as we suspected), some are just not fans of the HyperOS software. The hardware, however, had few detractors.

Huawei Watch GT 5 in for review

Image
The new Huawei Watch GT 5 series is out, and we have both the vanilla GT 5 and the GT 5 Pro. Now let's take a peek inside the box of the GT 5. At first glance, the GT 5 offers a modest upgrade and for the most part, it's true. The GT 5's hardware is largely the same as the GT 4 from last year. It comes in two variants - 41mm and 46mm, built around 1.32" and 1.43" screens, respectively. Huawei managed to shave 0.3mm off the thickness, though. We have the 41mm option, which is a better fit for smaller wrists. The 316L stainless steel body can still handle 5 ATM pressure and is... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/Y0vHwei

Instead, as the naming implies, they're meant to replace the Pad 6 and Pad 6 Pro, launched in April 2023.

Google started sending out the update to Wear OS 5 for the original Pixel Watch and the Pixel Watch 2 back in September. However, shortly after the rollout started, a lot of people reported a very nasty issue with these older watches - following the update, the watch would be stuck on a blank screen. Google listened to all of the reports and halted the update's rollout on September 26, but it only confirmed this today in an announcement on its support pages for the Pixel Watch line.

It's quite large and sits imposingly on the wrist – the 46 mm Titanium Body of the Classic Edition is matched with Titanium strap with a butterfly clasp. The Watch GT series is Huawei's middle ground of wearables — it is designed to match the Watch number series in looks but with a lower price tag and better battery life at the expense of cellular connectivity.

WhatsApp has been working on chat-specific theme support for a few months now, and the good news is that the feature has finally started rolling out. The bad news is it's only accessible by those who are using the Android beta of WhatsApp. So, while most of us won't get this right away, at least we can take a look and see what we can expect to roll out to every WhatsApp user in a few months or so.

Redmi is allegedly working on a new tablet that will be aimed at gamers. Given this fact, it will upgrade its power by using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series chipset. The exact one isn't mentioned by the Chinese source of this leak, which makes us (and many commenters over on Weibo) believe it's going to end up being the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which is not really a flagship SoC as the naming implies, but more of an upper-midrange offering.

Sony MDR-M1 Studio Headphones review

Image
The MDR-M1 are yet another pair of studio headphones from Sony. Some of you might remember the MDR-MV1 Studio headphones that we reviewed almost exactly a year ago. Well, this pair doesn't have anything to do with those. Instead, the M1 is the successor to the incredibly popular MDR-7506. The 7506, and its various variants, have been around for over three decades at this point, and have become a cult classic. You probably don't even need to know much about headphones to be able to recognize them, as you must have seen them at least once in your lifetime perched atop the head or... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/LXgMqp2

Is the Galaxy S26 getting canceled? Pixel 9a leaks: Week 40 in review

Image
Samsung has seemingly finalized its Galaxy S25 lineup for January of 2025 - expect the usual Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. But come 2026, the phone maker may drop the smaller Galaxy S26. It won't be a precedent - the company just dropped the vanilla model in this year's Galaxy Tab S10 series, only releasing the Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra. OnePlus and Oppo devices are once again banned from selling in Germany, but this time it wasn't Nokia's fault. This time it's a patent dispute with InterDigital over key patents for 5G and other mobile technologies. OnePlus' online store... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/NsRPFB1

Weekly poll results: the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE needs a price cut

Image
The results are in from last week’s poll and they are not encouraging – most voters believe that the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is overpriced. How come? Well, part of the problem is that the phone comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage as standard. While you can’t have more RAM, you could get 256GB storage. But since 128GB is pretty tight these days, people are looking at the 256GB price tag, not the 128GB one. That makes the FE feel expensive, especially when compared to mid-rangers from other brands, which start at 8/256GB or even 12/256GB. It’s not just other brands too, with a bit... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/k9lhFMG

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ hands-on review

Image
Samsung released just two flagship tablets this year - the nearly 15-inch Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and this 12.4-inch Galaxy Tab S10+. You no longer get an 11-inch option, which few people purchased anyway. The Galaxy Tab S10+ is much smaller and more portable than the Tab S10 Ultra. It's also cheaper, naturally, but doesn't compromise on display quality or processing power. You get the same 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with an anti-reflective coating upfront. Inside is the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ with four Cortex-X4 prime cores (one at 3.4GHz and three at 2.85GHz). Expect an 18%... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/RxpVjdQ
