Like vivo, Oppo is also working on an Ultra flagship smartphone for 2025: the Find X8 Ultra. This will apparently have a very similar design to that of the Find X8 Pro which is already available, albeit with a thicker camera island. It should still be large and round. The phone's metal frame also has chamfered transitions between materials. The Find X8 Ultra is said to come with a 6.82-inch "2K" OLED screen made by BOE, which features quad-curves with the same depth across all four sides. The ..

Samsung initially teased the Galaxy Ring at its Unpacked launch event for the Galaxy S24 family back in January, then showcased it at MWC in February, then finally fully launched it in July.

Pale colorways are nothing new in the mobile world, but Samsung seems ready to be taking paleness to a whole new level with the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. Today the "blue" colorway for the device has been leaked over on X, and as you can see in the embedded post below, it doesn't really look blue. Sure, one could argue it's gray with a slight hint of blue, and the iPhone 15 may agree since it had the previously palest blue ever. But it's not what most people expect to see when they hear the ..

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 ..
