This week, Poco issued a much-requested firmware update to the F7 with camera and performance improvements. Users should get “more natural skin tones and facial details”, with “improved facial contrast and accurate brightness in portraits”, crisper images overall with “better detail retention across lighting conditions”, “superior HDR control” with balanced highlights in bright areas and reduced overexposures, as well as “greens and landscapes” appearing “more real and accurate”.
Another week, another Google Pixel 10 series render pack is leaked. At this point, we have a perfect idea of what the 10 and 10 Pro units will look like. The latest renders show the phones in Obsidian Black and Frost – a white-ish with a blue or purple hue.
The Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G got its EEC certification. The 14 series became official in China in September and made its global debut in January; no word yet on when to expect the 15 series to make its debut.
We saw the color options of the Galaxy S25 FE. It will come in Icy Blue, Navy, Jet Black, and White. Not very inspired.
It was developed based on feedback from the community, the brand says.
Their official announcement can’t come soon enough.
The 4G-only version isn’t dead.
The phone has been leaking quite often lately. Previously, we knew the name of the colors, but hadn’t seen them in pictures (not all of them, anyway).
The OnePlus 15 will reportedly drop the circular camera island and go with a rectangle-shaped one in the top left. That would put it in line with the 13T and 13s design. The phone won’t have Hasselblad co-branding, and will have a lower-resolution “1.5K” panel. It will still be a LIPO panel. The OnePlus 15 will have a 50 MP main camera, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC at the helm, and a 7,000-7,500 mAh battery with support for 100W wired charging.
The Galaxy A17 went on sale ahead of its formal launch across several European retailers. It has a few notable updates over its predecessor – an Exynos 1330 SoC, OIS on its 50MP camera, and a sturdier display. Galaxy A17 comes in Black, Blue, and Gray colors. The 4/128GB trim is listed at €230 in France while the 8/256GB version is currently €309 in Spain.
And one spec downgrade that you may not like.
The latest Galaxy A-series member is listed across several European retailers.
As the name implies, you do have to be a business to purchase one – and there’s an extra caveat too.
Apple may very well unveil its iPhone 17 series on September 9.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra will have the same ISOCELL HP2 1/1.3-inch 200MP sensor but with a nicer f/1.4 lens.
It’s happening precisely when you’d expect it to based on prior rumors.
But that module is getting a better lens.
