The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 should be launching in October as Qualcomm's new top of the line mobile chipset, and you may be wondering which phones will be the first to rock it.
According to a new leak by a usually reliable source, Xiaomi apparently has an exclusive deal with the chip maker to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 first. Thus, the first two devices to use the new SoC will be the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro.

During the Analyst Summit 2024, Huawei's current chairman Xu Zhijun shared the company's plans to expand globally after taking care of things on home soil. Huawei believes it can make HarmonyOS the world's third option for a mobile operating system, despite US sanctions.
Huawei will work closely with app developers and provide all the needed support, tools and encouragement to build a robust app ecosystem for HarmonyOS. It will first focus on the Chinese market, where research shows that 99% of users spend their time on a little more than 5,000 apps. This means the tech giant needs to...
The Google Pixel 8a has been leaking like crazy recently, and today there's yet another leak, of course. This one comes from a mobile phone seller in Casablanca, Morocco, who already seems to have received stock of the Pixel 8a.
Thus, a quick hands-on ensues, showing us the oft-leaked handset and once again confirming its design cues, borrowed from the Pixel 8 as the naming scheme implies.

It’s been over a year and a half since Apple launched its last iPads and that will finally change come May 7 when we’re getting a new generation of iPads. Apple is holding an online launch event scheduled to start at 7AM PT / 10AM ET where we’ll likely see the new iPad Pro and Air models alongside a new Apple Pencil.
Apple is finally expected to make to switch to OLED displays on the iPad Pro lineup. Rumors point to 13-inch and 11-inch display sizes with repositioned front-facing cameras that will now lie on the horizontal side of the display. We’re also expecting two iPad Airs...

Poco is one of Xiaomi's value brands, alongside Redmi, and while we've already seen Redmi tablets, Poco is yet to launch one. That will however change soon, since a Poco tablet has already received its FCC certification, and it was also spotted in the Camera FV-5 database. Thus we know a tiny little bit about it.
The Poco tablet will apparently be called Poco Pad. It will have the model number 2405CPCFBG for global markets, and it will ship running Xiaomi's HyperOS 1.0, presumably on top of Android 14. The Poco Pad supports Wi-Fi 6 and comes with a 33W charging adapter, which implies it...
Four years ago HMD released the Nokia 225 4G, a refresh of an old (2014) Nokia feature phone. Now the company is ready to do another re-release and this time the design looks much closer to the original as can be seen in the renders from @OnLeaks.
Nokia 225 4G (2024) in two colors
The so-called Nokia 225 4G (2024) runs the S30+ OS, so it’s not a KaiOS device. It will have 64MB of RAM and 128MB storage, plus (almost certainly) a microSD slot. Again, this is a feature phone, so these specs are no surprise. It will be powered by a 1,450mAh battery, which sounds small but is 300mAh...

As usual, to start things off a heat gun or hairdryer is required to weaken the adhesive and take off the back plate, which in this...
vivo unveiled "BlueImage" brand today, which will encompass the imaging technology that it is developing and is likely to make its debut with the upcoming vivo X100 Ultra. "Blue" is used in a lot of vivo branding, a cheeky nod at the "Blue Factory" nickname that is used in certain circles.
