OnePlus 13R now rumored to sport a dedicated telephoto camera

Image
The OnePlus 13R is getting official on January 7 during the OnePlus 13's global launch, and so far most rumors assumed it would be a rebranded OnePlus Ace 5, which launched in China a few days ago. That's primarily because the OnePlus 12R was a rebranded OnePlus Ace 3. But the plot thickens, as OnePlus has already confirmed the 13R's battery capacity, and it's lower than the Ace 5's. And today a new rumor posits another difference between the two - the 13R will allegedly have a telephoto camera.

Samsung Galaxy A56's specs and price leak

Image
Samsung announced the Galaxy A55 in March, and its successor, the aptly named Galaxy A56, has been leaking quite a lot lately, signifying the fact that the finishing touches are currently being put on for its release. Now a purported spec list for the upcoming A56 has been outed by a tipster over on X. He claims the phone will be powered by the Exynos 1580 SoC, and will have a 120 Hz refresh rate AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution, an aluminum frame, and a glass back.

OnePlus Watch 3 and OnePlus Watch 3 Pro will bring new health tracking features

Image
A few hours ago a deep dive into the code of the latest version of the OHealth app which is used to manage OnePlus and Oppo smartwatches revealed that OnePlus is working on a OnePlus Watch 3 Pro alongside the vanilla Watch 3, and now the same source brings us more information about the new health tracking features that the duo will support. We're going to refer only to the OnePlus Watch 3 going forward, for simplicity and readability, but do keep in mind that all of this applies to the Watch 3 Pro as well.

OnePlus 13R leaked renders show both colorways in detail

Image
OnePlus will unveil the 13R on January 7 at the 13's international debut. The OnePlus 13R has been leaked today in a new set of renders depicting two colorways which are expected to be the only ones for this device. OnePlus 13R leaked renders The OnePlus 13R has long been rumored to be a rebranded OnePlus Ace 5, but OnePlus has already confirmed that the 13R will have a 6,000 mAh battery, which is 415 mAh smaller than the Ace 5's. So with that in mind, we wouldn't be surprised to see other minor differences between the two handsets. More OnePlus 13R leaked... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/bTJU58i

vivo will unveil a mixed reality headset next year

Image
vivo is planning to compete head-on with Apple's Vision Pro headset, despite its lackluster sales performance. At an event today, vivo announced that it will be unveiling a mixed reality (MR) headset next year. This will be showcased as a prototype in September or October, and we're told to expect some features that will surpass what the Vision Pro can offer. That may well be, but by that point the Vision Pro will have been available for more than a year and a half, so it's not really that outstanding to one-up a product that's so old. vivo's dedicated team for the MR headset has... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/F0Xk8WK

2024 Winners and losers: Oppo

Image
It's not easy summing up Oppo's year. In its home market of China, Oppo was a solid top brand - virtually matching vivo and trading blows with Honor, Xiaomi, and Huawei. But on the global stage, we saw very few products from Oppo. The company only resolved its patent disputes with Nokia at the start of the year and it takes time for the portfolio to be realigned for global launches. We were disappointed that some of Oppo's finest efforts were kept to China, but at least the Find X8 series finally marked the start of the long-awaited return. Winner: Oppo Find X8 The Find X8 series... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/PZuK21m

LG’s new UltraGear GX9 series gaming monitor can go from flat to curved

Image
LG announced its latest WOLED gaming monitors today with the new UltraGear GX9 series. The 45GX990A and 45GX950A have 45-inch screen diagonals with 5K2K resolution (5,120 x 2,160px) and 21:9 aspect ratios. They feature 0.03ms (GtG) response time and variable refresh rate support, although LG did not specify the exact refresh rate. The more impressive bit is that the 45GX990A can go from completely flat to a 900R curvature with a simple press. That’s ideal if you’ve been pondering between a flat or curved monitor, as you can have both.

2024 Winners and losers: Motorola

Image
The Motorola portfolio of smartphones for 2024 includes no less than 30 models. There has been a fresh set of Edge 50 phones, two new foldables, a handful of Moto G affordable devices and even a ThinkPhone as a nod to Lenovo – Motorola's parent company. There have been some impressive devices, while others disappointed. Here's our take on what went well and what flopped.

Top 10 trending phones of week 52

Image
It's the final chapter of our trending chart in 2024 and it comes with a fitting plot twist. A new phone rose to the top - one that isn't even official yet, but will most certainly be one of the most popular in 2025. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra managed to overtake the Galaxy A55 and its predecessor S24 Ultra, forming an all-Samsung podium. [#InlinePriceWidget, 12824, 1#] The Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max is in fifth, sandwiched between a pair of Redmi Note 13 phones - the Pro is fourth and the vanilla is sixth.

2024 Winners and losers: Google

Image
Google had a busier year than usual, mainly due to the excess of Pixel phones and the fast-growing AI segment. But as is usually the case, not all products were met with excitement from users and reviewers alike. But let's start with a winner. Winner: Pixel 9 Pro XL Despite the new XL designation, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is basically a successor to the Pixel 8 Pro from last year, so it's expected to get most of the attention from the trio. It's also the best Pixel phone from Google so far.

The Pulse Pro is the first HMD phone to receive Android 15

Image
HMD has arguably been doing a pretty good job with its device lineup. Unfortunately, the update schedule and frequency have been a bit spotty, but eventually, the company does deliver on its promises. In the case of the HMD Pulse Pro, the phone is in line for two major software updates and three years of security patches. Android 15 OTA HMD has now started its Android 15 rollout with the Pulse Pro. We have been getting reports of units already receiving the OTA.

The Huawei Watch D2 is the company's second watch to come with blood pressure monitoring.

New report corroborates rumors of seamless updates support for Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series was rumored to have support for seamless updates, and Android Authority has corroborated that rumor in its new report. The publication claims to have spotted some leaked files from the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and confirms that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra indeed has seamless update support, which should be the case for the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ as well.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra camera leak lists pretty much identical sensors to the S24 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to arrive on January 22, so it's right around the corner. We already have plenty of details and leaks on the upcoming flagship, including some covering its camera setup.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim once again rumored to arrive later than the rest of the family

Image
At its upcoming Unpacked unveiling event in January, Samsung is expected to announce not three, but four Galaxy S25 devices, with the Galaxy S25 Slim being the fourth member of the family seen in a recently leaked teaser. The Galaxy S25 Slim has been rumored a few times to arrive later in the year than the other three S25 devices, and today a new report corroborates this information thanks to Samsung's latest One UI 7 beta. This contains a list of US carrier-specific Samsung phone models, but the Galaxy S25 Slim's model number is not on the list.

2024 Winners and losers: Xiaomi

Image
Xiaomi had a relatively uneventful 2024, but not in the negative sense. Most of what Xiaomi released this year was expected evolution of its previous-gen devices, but not necessarily boring. Maybe the only thing that shook up the scene was the release of its first-ever EV - the Xiaomi SU7. So, let's begin with this one. Winner: Xiaomi SU7 If we just look at the stats, the Xiaomi SU7 is a hit. The company's brand-new factory is working overtime to meet the demand and was able to surpass its initial goal for 2024 by a large margin.

Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 to arrive early with big improvements

Image
Xiaomi launched the Mix Flip, its first flip-style foldable smartphone, back in July, and according to a new report from China it was very successful over there. So much so, in fact, that its successor is planned to arrive earlier than initially expected. It will allegedly land before the end of June, and it will be a major iteration, not just a small incremental upgrade.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to exclusively use next-gen Gorilla Glass Armor

Image
Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra uses Corning's Gorilla Glass Armor, and so far it's been the only device to go with it. This has an anti-reflective coating that essentially makes the S24 Ultra have the least reflective screen in smartphone history, which is a huge boon for usability. Today a new rumor from Ice Universe over on X claims the Galaxy S25 Ultra, probably due to be unveiled on January 22, will exclusively use the "powerful" second-generation Gorilla Glass Armor from Corning, and this too will have anti-reflective properties.

Huawei Pura 80 Ultra's cameras detailed

Huawei launched the Pura 70 Ultra back in April, and the company is now obviously working on its successor. The Pura 80 Ultra's camera specs have been leaked in China today.

vivo Y39 runs Geekbench, could be branded Jovi in some places

Image
vivo's upcoming Y39 has allegedly been spotted on Geekbench. It managed a 912 single-core score and a 2,214 multi-core score in Geekbench 6.3.0, so clearly this won't be a high-end device. And indeed it seems to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, which is a lower-tier SoC. The phone does support 5G, and the tested prototype had 8GB of RAM. There may be other RAM options available upon launch. The Y39 will run Android 15 from day one, and it could be branded Jovi in Brazil thanks to a trademark dispute with Telefonica Brazil which owns the name Vivo over... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/5MpJckx

A few days ago we got word of the upcoming vivo X200 Ultra's camera specs, and today it's time to talk about its release timeframe. According to prolific Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station, the X200 Ultra will most likely arrive in April, but there is a small chance it will be unveiled as early as March. As we know from a previous rumor, the X200 Ultra will unfortunately not be sold officially outside of China.

2024 Winners and losers: Apple

Image
The past year was a weird one for Apple, as it primarily focused on maintaining its smartphone market dominance while dipping its toes in XR and AI. Regulators from around the world came knocking on the doors of Cupertino’s walled garden and we saw the first cracks with iOS 18’s release.
