Qualcomm denies rumors about Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 overheating

Yesterday, a Korean news outlet shared some concerning news about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra.

In contrast, the Exynos 2700 is doing just fine. But after the rumor did its rounds on the internet, Qualcomm's CMO responded to a thread on X saying that these rumors were inaccurate.

Moto G47 Power is coming with a much larger battery than the G47

Motorola launched the Moto G47 in April, and interestingly, the company is now readying not a successor, but a new member of the Moto G47 family - the Moto G47 Power.

We checked the online store in multiple countries: the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, France, India, Australia, New Zealand and...

Boost Mobile teams up with Mike Tyson for its new ad campaign

Boost Mobile today announced a partnership with Mike Tyson, who will front its new US campaign called "What's Your Plan?". The name plays on the boxer's famous quote "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth", and in this case the punch is hidden fees, sudden rate hikes, and locked-in contracts from traditional prepaid carriers, as Boost puts it. Boost Mobile, which is owned by EchoStar, uses the campaign to highlight its no-contract approach and plans like the $25/month unlimited one, which it says is priced that way "forever". Bob Rupczynski, Group President of Boost...
