Nothing Headphone (1)'s price in Europe leaks

Image
Nothing is getting into the over-ear headphone business. It will unveil the Headphone (1) on July 1 at its launch event where it will also make the Phone (3) official. Both the phone and the headphones will be offered in the US officially, and a past rumor told us to expect the Nothing Headphone (1) to be priced at $299. But what about Europe? Specifically, the Eurozone. If you live there you are surely used to a price like $299 magically transforming into €399 or even €449, so you may have been expecting something similar here. But according to a new rumor, you'd be wrong. The... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/7Ik9Gl4

Xiaomi starts teasing the Mix Flip 2, reveals when it's launching

Image
Xiaomi's Mix Flip 2 has been rumored to become official by the end of this month, and it turns out that rumor was correct. Today, Xiaomi has started teasing the device, publishing the image you can see below on its website. Our small glimpse of the box is accompanied by the text "See you this month", so it's settled - the Mix Flip 2 will be announced for the Chinese market in June. A global launch should follow, as it did for its predecessor, but it will probably come a bit later. Unfortunately, Xiaomi itself hasn't confirmed any of the Mix Flip 2's specs, but according to previous... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/u7QH2c1

Google mocks Apple for iOS 26 features Pixels have had for ages

Image
After Apple's unveiling of iOS 26, Samsung was quick to poke fun at some of the features that are coming to iPhones this fall after having been available on Samsung devices already, and today Google has joined the fun - better late than never? Google's exceptionally cringy "#BestPhonesForever" campaign has released a new video, and like all the other ones it's set up as a conversation between a Pixel and an iPhone. Only this time, it's all about how iOS 26 has been 'inspired' by Pixel features. Take a look: Auto-translation of messages is mentioned, with the Pixel saying it had that... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/UFbeMEW

Google Pixel 10 family's telephoto camera is getting a new feature

Image
Google is expected to announce the Pixel 10 series of smartphones on August 20. Today a new leak tells us that the phones' telephoto camera is getting a new feature: the ability to take macro shots. Thus, it will be a tele-macro. Interestingly, Google reportedly plans to continue fitting its Pixels with ultrawide cameras with autofocus - which means the ultrawides will continue to have macro abilities of their own. The ultrawides will be able to focus closer than the telephotos, so you'll get a choice between using the ultrawide or the telephoto for close-up shots but it's not really a... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/hf3LFBM

Image
The Trump Organization, run by US President Donald Trump's sons Donald Jr. and Eric while he's in office, has just announced that it's going to offer wireless service in the US, branded Trump Mobile. It will be an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator), using the actual networks of AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Its plan will cost $47.45 per month, because Donald Trump is the 47th President of the United States and was also the 45th.

Fairphone 6 specs leak

Image
Fairphone still exists and is still trying to make the modular smartphone a thing, despite overwhelming lack of interest from most people for its products (see: sales numbers). Last week a shot purportedly depicting the upcoming Fairphone 6 got leaked, and today the same source is back with its specs. So, it should come with a 6.31-inch P-OLED LTPO screen with a dynamic 1-120Hz refresh rate, 1116x2484 resolution, and Gorilla Glass 7i on top.

OnePlus Watch 3 review

Image
Introduction and unboxing Few remember the original OnePlus Watch, but many loved the OnePlus Watch 2 for its impressive asymmetric case design. It remains this reviewer's favorite watch design alongside Huawei's Watch GT 5 with its angled case. The OnePlus Watch 2 was also among the most long-lasting Wear OS watches around, thanks to its dual architecture - two processors, the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1, running Wear OS, and a custom BES2700BP, running a watered-down real-time OS to get the best endurance out of its 500 mAh battery. Coupled with the long list of features, the OnePlus Watch 2 is... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/bUj7Du8

Huawei introduced its new cameraphone flagship this week and it ended the week as the most popular smartphone in our database. The Pura 80 Ultra has some truly beastly hardware and we can't wait to see what it's capable of. The Samsung pair of Galaxy A56 and Galaxy S25 Ultra completed the podium. [#InlinePriceWidget, 13798, 1#] The OnePlus 13s slid to fourth, while the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro gained a lot of ground to place fifth.

Deals: Xiaomi 15 and 15 Ultra prices fall to new low, plus some more affordable offers

Image
The pricing of Xiaomi’s 15-series has reached a new low, offering a choice between a relatively compact flagship and an all-out camera phone. We know that many don’t consider the Xiaomi 15 to be “small” with its 6.36” display and 71.2mm width. Still, it’s one of the smaller Snapdragon 8 Elite flagships and, unlike say a Galaxy S25, it has triple 50MP cameras on the back. This includes a main with a large 1/1.31” sensor, a 2.6x/60mm telephoto and a 115° ultra-wide. The phone runs on a 5,240mAh battery with fast charging (90W wired, 50W wireless) and gets great battery life. The display... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/fe9QNc8

Weekly poll results: the Realme GT 7 is great if you can get it at a discount, GT 7T not so much

Image
The Realme GT 7 and GT 7T may have been announced together, but last week’s poll suggests that they will go on very different paths in life. The GT 7 is proving to be quite popular, even if the MSRP is high, while the GT 7T has failed to convince most people that it is a good pick. Starting on a positive note, the Realme GT 7 saw a third of the votes go in its favor and a third saying that it’s a good phone, but it’s pricey. However, that isn’t necessarily the case – we saw people in the comments saying that they got great deals on the phone.

The promo page set up by Flipkart on its website reveals that the Poco F7 will pack a 7,550 mAh battery, making it the smartphone with the largest battery in India, unless another brand launches a phone with a bigger battery before the Poco F7 arrives.

Samsung is working on the Galaxy F36, and today it's been spotted in the Google Play Console. The listing brings with it the image you can see below, as well as a few specs. The F36 comes with a waterdrop notch screen, and an oval camera island housing three sensors, two of them in another oval of their own. The LED flash array is to the right. Overall it's a very Samsung-esque design, and the integration of all the cameras into one big island has become a staple for devices that aren't flagships.

The Poco F7 is coming soon to join the F7 Pro and F7 Ultra in the brand's roster, and today we have some purportedly leaked official renders showcasing the device in black. We do however have to mention the fact that it's unclear where these are coming from, so do take them with more than just a pinch of salt. It could very well be that they are the real deal, or someone just slightly edited the official images of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro and added the Poco logo.

Samsung is getting ready to unveil the Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic at its next Unpacked event, which is rumored to take place in New York next month. Both models will employ the squircle case design that made its debut in the Galaxy Watch Ultra from last year. As you'd expect, the Classic will feature a rotating bezel.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra runs Geekbench, here's the chipset it will use

Image
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has seemingly been spotted in the Geekbench online database, and, as usual, this has revealed its chipset. The Korean company's next flagship tablet will employ MediaTek's Dimensity 9400+ SoC, which is revealed by the 3.73 GHz Prime core. That said, the results this prototype managed are far from what you'd expect from this chipset, but that can most likely be because this is a very early prototype and Samsung is still tuning things. So don't give any thought to the numbers for now. The tablet will have 12GB of RAM and will run Android 16 when... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/nZM0yYD

Google will reduce the Pixel 6a’s battery capacity with an upcoming update

Earlier this year, Google released a Battery Performance Program update for the Pixel 4a which cut the phone’s battery life as a precautionary measure. The reason – Pixel 4a batteries were overheating and posing a fire hazard. Well, another Pixel a-series phone is getting similar treatment soon as the Pixel 6a will also get a battery voltage decrease to prevent it from overheating.

It's no different today, with the foldables receiving the SafetyKorea certification and the wearables showing up at the GCF. Unsurprisingly, SafetyKorea has certified the models that are headed to the country - the SM-F966N (Galaxy Z Fold7) and SM-F766N (Galaxy Z Flip7).

Last week’s poll shows that the Honor 400 Pro has hope of success, but the vanilla 400 just doesn’t have the feature set to compete.

The Honor 400 Pro has a good number of fans as it is and a positive review can make it even more desirable.

The latest feature that WhatsApp is working on is the ability for you to allow others to share your status updates. This is now live in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android, which means it will probably make it to the non-beta track in the next few weeks or months. The feature is pretty self-explanatory, really.
