The Redmi Note 15 Pro+, unveiled a few months ago in China, made its international debut today. However, the international model doesn't share all the specs with its Chinese counterpart. For starters, the Chinese Redmi Note 15 Pro+ came with a 50MP primary camera, but the international Redmi Note 15 Pro+ features a 200MP HPE primary camera with 2x and 4x in-sensor zoom. Its camera lens also supports five focal lengths, ranging from 23mm to 92mm. The international version's primary camera is joined by an 8MP ultrawide camera, like the Chinese model, but it drops the 50MP telephoto...

The global Redmi Note 15 series just went official, and the base Note 15 model again comes in two flavors. There’s the Note 15 5G, which gets some altered specs for its global run, and it’s joined by the 4G Note 15, which features a more affordable price point. You’d be hard-pressed to tell the two apart as they feature identical designs with screens and backs as well as identical camera islands. Both global Redmi Note 15 variants get curved 6.77-inch AMOLEDs with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The panels feature 3,200 nits peak local brightness and integrated optical...

It’s Redmi Note season, and the Note 15 series is now going global with 5 new entries. We'll be covering the two Pro models in this post, and they're shaping up to be minor upgrades over their predecessors. Redmi Note 15 Pro and Note 15 Pro 5G The Note 15 Pro duo comes with larger batteries than their predecessors with the Redmi Note 15 Pro offering a 6,500 mAh cell with 45W charging, while the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G is outfitted with a 6,580mAh silicon–carbon cell.

vivo launched the Y50 in China in July, and it's now working on two new members of the same family: the Y50e and Y50s. These have both been added to the Google Play Console's Supported Devices List. Both are likely to be variations of the already available Y50, just like the Y50i and Y50m. It's unclear why vivo is playing these naming games and why it feels the need to launch so many almost identical devices. All of the Y50 options share a model number, which reveals how similar they are. In other vivo news, a new smartphone with the model number V2531A has just been certified...

A recent rumor claimed that Xiaomi would launch the Xiaomi 17 Ultra on December 26 in China. Well, that rumor has partly proven true. We say this because Xiaomi has confirmed that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is coming next week without confirming the date. The Chinese brand also confirmed its collaboration with Leica for the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and if the machine translation of Chinese is correct, the smartphone will bring improvements to the telephoto camera and night-time image quality. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra recently got FCC certified, so we could see it make an international debut. The...

Poco is once again rumored to unveil the M8 Pro in January, and today a new rumor from a tipster over on X claims to shed more light on what we should expect from the device. According to this source, the Poco M8 Pro will be identical to the upcoming Redmi Note 15 Pro+ in every way bar one. The key difference will be in the camera department, where, the tipster says, "Poco swaps the 200MP 4x optical zoom periscope telephoto camera for a 50MP main camera on the rear". That doesn't make a lot of sense - how can you replace a telephoto camera with a main camera? Poco M7 Pro 5G So...

After the introduction of Gemini 3 Pro last month, today Google has unveiled Gemini 3 Flash. This is the faster model, as its name implies. It's built from the ground up for speed, in fact Google says it feels as fast as a Google search for most prompts. Gemini 3 Flash is now the default model in the Gemini app - you're using it if you select "Fast" or "Thinking". Gemini 3 Pro is used if you pick "Pro" in the app. Google says Gemini 3 Pro is still "the best choice for advanced math and code", but is confident that Flash will do for everything else. Of course, Flash is easier on...

Following the developer-focused release which came out yesterday, today Apple has made the first public betas of iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3 available to those who are part of its beta program. With iOS 26.3 you get an easier way to transfer your data to an Android device if you're switching to that. This is something that's also being added to Android by Google. There's a new Notification Forwarding feature for third-party wearables in the EU, which allows notifications to be forwarded from an iPhone to a third-party device as the name implies. This was mandated by the EU and ensures...

One way to drive hype about a new product is to supply way less of it than is demanded, and then wait for all the "sold out" headlines to appear. This seems to be exactly what Samsung is doing in Korea with the Galaxy Z TriFold, which already sold out once, in mere minutes, when it first went on sale a few days ago. The company then promised a restock for this week, and this has happened earlier today. Once again, it sold out - in two minutes this time. But here's the thing - reports say the initial stock that sold out the first time was 1,000 units, and the total "initial sales volume"...

The upcoming Realme 16 Pro+ has been officially certified for sale in China by TENAA, and this process has thankfully revealed the phone's specs. It comes with a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with 1280x2800 resolution, a 200MP main camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom, an 8MP ultrawide, a 50MP selfie snapper, and a battery rated at 6,850 mAh, which will most likely be advertised as having a 7,000 mAh typical capacity. The device will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC, paired with 8/12/16/24GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB/512GB/1TB of storage. There's an...
