Spotify has added five million premium users in the first quarter of this year (between January and March), the company has just revealed. That's a 12% increase compared to Q1 2024, and brings the total paying subscribers to 268 million. The streaming service has also reported a record quarterly operating income of €509 million (about $528 million). Revenue was €4.2 billion, or around $4.8 billion. Spotify now boasts that it has 678 million monthly active users, and 423 million ad-supported monthly active users, though the math doesn't quite add up - if 423 million users are ad-supported...

According to a new rumor from the usual reliable Digital Chat Station over on Weibo, all four iPhone 17 models will sport 12GB of RAM, and the A19 Pro chip used for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will be made on TSMC's 3nm process with significantly improved performance versus the A18 Pro. A previous rumor claimed three out of four members of the iPhone 17 family were set to get 12GB of RAM, with the vanilla model still up in the air until next month when Apple would be finalizing its decision regarding it. Additionally, the iPhone 18 family is said to be switching to using a...

In what may be the weirdest promo in a few weeks at least, Samsung is now advertising its Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy AI by providing everyone with a free ride on The View Ferris wheel in Brussels, Belgium, on Place Poelaert. This normally costs €10 to ride, but from May 3 until May 18, it will be free as Samsung is apparently paying for everyone's tickets. As you can see from the image above, Samsung's Galaxy AI will feature prominently on the wheel itself. The Ferris wheel lets you have a "spectacular view of the Brussels skyline", the Korean company says, and of course it...

Samsung took a long time releasing the update to One UI 7, but it now finally seems to have resolved all the issues, and its rollouts are starting slightly ahead of schedule for many devices. Case in point: the Galaxy S21 series, which was supposed to get One UI 7 in May, but the update is already being sent out in Korea with the software version G99xNKSU8HYD9. 2021 S Series joins the One UI 7 party.‼️The Galaxy S21 Series begins receiving the One UI 7 update in Korea.Build Version: G991NKSU8HYD9/G991NOKR8HYD9/G991NKOU8HYD9 pic.twitter.com/QuzDqCEqDT— Tarun Vats (@tarunvats33) April 29,...

Samsung is currently in the process of finally rolling out One UI 7 based on Android 15 to its devices, following a months-long delay. Next up will be One UI 8, based on Android 16, which will hopefully arrive in a more timely fashion. When it does, it will have the ability to AI summarize any online video through Samsung's built-in Internet browser. This has been discovered as it's currently in testing. Once it's implemented, you will be able to AI summarize any online video you come across in Samsung's browser, and on the Galaxy S25 series the AI magic will happen entirely...

Back in March we heard that the Xiaomi 16 would have a larger screen size compared to its predecessor's 6.36-inch panel. While that rumor didn't mention a specific size for the upcoming device, now a new rumor out of China kind of contradicts it, saying the Xiaomi 16's display will be in the 6.3" range still. So that could be up to 6.39", which of course is larger than 6.36", even though by such a tiny amount that it wouldn't really be noticeable. Anyway, today's rumor goes on to claim that this will be the best and most beautiful smaller screen, coming with insanely tiny bezels and eye...

Amazon's recurring deal bonanza known as Prime Day is coming back, unsurprisingly, and this year will take place in July. The retailer has for some reason refrained from giving us the actual dates - yes, plural, as despite the name Prime Day is usually two days - but at least it has given us a list of countries and territories where deals will be had. So, here goes: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the US,...

Samsung's AI-ification continues. The company has announced that Galaxy A series mid-rangers will soon get the option to invoke Google's Gemini AI assistant through the power button, by pressing and holding it. This will be offered on the Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy A26. The feature was seen before on Galaxy S series flagships. It will be available through a software update that will be rolling out to the aforementioned trio of Galaxy A devices starting in early May (thus we assume it's the same update that will bring the May security patches). Jay Kim, Executive Vice...

Apple will be unable to introduce a new anti-reflective coating on the iPhone 17 Pro displays, 9to5Mac reports. According to its sources, the new scratch-resistant display solution faced problems scaling up the production, and Apple is no longer considering the feature for the iPhone 17 Pro models. The yields of the new anti-reflective coating iPhone displays was too low, considering the millions of devices that Apple needs to manufacture, even if the feature was limited only to the Pro and Pro Max units. Currently, Apple does use a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating, but it...

Oppo launched the Find X8 Pro in October, and so its successor is probably coming around the same month this year. Ahead of that, we're now hearing that the Find X9 Pro will significantly alter its camera setup compared to its predecessor. According to a new rumor out of China, the Find X9 Pro will only have three rear cameras, unlike the X8 Pro which has four. There will be only one periscope, and it probably won't surprise you to find out that it will be using a large 200 MP sensor. Oppo Find X8 Pro It's unclear if this will be the same Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor that everyone...
