Amazon set the date for the next Prime Day – it starts on July 16 – but in the meantime, the retailer is running 4th of July deals. Best Buy has its own shopping holiday dubbed Member Deals Day, which offers additional savings for members of My Best Buy Plus or Total.

Samsung officially confirmed the July 10 date for the big Galaxy Unpacked event, which will bring the next generation of Galaxy Tab S flagship tablets.

Oppo unveiled the A3 Pro in April and is set to introduce the A3 on July 2. However, Oppo won't be done launching A3 series smartphones with that since it's working on the A3x, which has been certified by Thailand's NBTC.

If you are eyeing a new Motorola phone, you may have stumbled upon the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion and the Motorola Edge 50 Pro, which honestly look visually quite identical. There is a bunch of differences under their respective hood, though, and we'll have a look at those in this comparison to assess whether the huge difference in price is well deserved. The Edge 50 Fusion retails for around €350, while the Pro can be found for almost double that at around €580. Sure, the Pro is expected to be the better device in every way, but maybe the Edge 50 Fusion has what it takes to get you a lot of...
According to a tipster on X, Huawei is working on next-generation Taishan cores that are more powerful and energy-efficient than ever before. The Taishan cores are said to be used in Huawei's upcoming CPU architecture and will serve as the power-efficient cores. The new cores allegedly have lower power consumption, while outperforming the Kirin 9000s' Cortex-A510 cores. The tipster claims Huawei's upcoming Taishan V130 architecture will aim to compete with Apple's M3 chip and be based on the 5nm manufacturing node. If true, this is a big breakthrough for the company, which was...

On the metaphorical eve of the Galaxy Z Fold6 announcement (July 10), Samsung has released an infographic, dedicated to the progress of its Fold series. It goes device by device, starting with the Galaxy Fold of 2019, and ending with the Galaxy Z Fold5. The theme of the infographic is the reduction of thickness and weight while retaining structural integrity. The theme strongly suggests a thinner and lighter Galaxy Z Fold6 is coming in two weeks. Rumors have suggested as much, and it's logical to assume that Samsung will aim for a lower weight. Per reports, the Galaxy Z Fold6...
vivo introduced the X Fold3 series in late March and the company finally brought its foldables outside China with the X Fold3 Pro's debut in India and Indonesia.

A pretty wild rumor out of Samsung's home of Korea today claims the company is thinking about using MediaTek Dimensity chips for the Galaxy S25 family which is due to launch next year in January. Not just MediaTek chips, mind, but MediaTek Dimensity chips (presumably the Dimensity 9400) alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Samsung's own Exynos 2500. So if this pans out (and that's a huge if), then the next flagship family from the Korean brand could have three different SoCs in various markets. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra This, however, is far from a given, considering how even...
Samsung is unveiling the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 on July 10 in Paris. Recently we've seen some rumored European pricing for the Galaxy Z Flip6, and today a new rumor brings very similar numbers: €1,330 for the model with 256GB of storage and €1,450 for the one with 512GB. Both of these are said to have 12GB of RAM. The Flip6 will thus be over €100 more expensive than its predecessor was at launch. Today's leak also brings us purported European pricing for the Galaxy Z Fold6, and it's not pretty. The foldable is said to start at a whopping €2,200 with 256GB of storage, then go up...
Late last year Apple gave users in the US access to a very important tool for self repair, the Self Service Repair Diagnostics software.

Google usually holds its annual Pixel launch event in October, but this year things are going to be very different. The company has just announced a surprise Pixel event for August 13, which is around two months earlier than usual. Google hasn't specifically mentioned any devices in it, but the invite says: "You're invited to an in-person Made by Google event where we'll showcase the best of Google AI, Android software and the Pixel portfolio of devices". That's pretty vague and could just mean the company wants to "showcase" the existing, already official devices, but here's the...
Following the introduction of the Olive Green colorway for global markets last week, today the Redmi Note 13 Pro is getting a new hue specifically for the Indian market: Scarlet Red. It's very red, as the name implies, but interestingly the frame is black for a bit of contrast, as is the camera island at the back. This definitely makes for a striking look, and if you haven't yet purchased a Redmi Note 13 Pro because you felt the other colors were just too bland, well, this one definitely isn't. The Redmi Note 13 Pro in Scarlet Red is priced at INR 24,999 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of...

You may like to watch YouTube videos as you fall asleep, but if you do you've certainly noticed a huge glaring omission in the service's mobile apps. There is absolutely no way to make YouTube stop playing after a set time - there's no sleep timer. That's set to change soon. According to a teardown of the most recent version of the YouTube app for Android, a sleep timer is now finally in development, as evidenced by the strings in the screenshot below.

Acefast is a brand popular for its semi-transparent designs and the latest gadget we are reviewing makes no exception. The Acefit Neo wireless earphones have a patented concha hook that should provide comfort and stability. The packaging explains how the hook should be placed at least three times, and we can see the case with the buds sitting behind a plastic screen. The actual case has a transparent lid, through which we can see the magnets that keep the whole thing closed. The box also includes a fabric pouch with different-size hooks and a USB-C charging cable, but we should note...
Spotify recently put its latest price hike into effect in the US, bringing individual plans from $10.99 up to $11.99. Dual Plans went up to $16.99 ($2 increase), and family plans now cost $19.99 ($3 increase). One of the ways the streaming giant justified the price increase was the introduction of audiobook support to the platform, with premium users now getting 15 hours of audiobook listening per month. Apparently, Spotify is aware that not everybody is going to care about its audiobook offering, and it is now introducing a new “Basic” plan in the US. It includes unlimited access to music...

Realme is working on a new range of smartphones it seems, based on a new leak out of China. The company is expected to introduce the V60 and V60s soon, and today a promo shot has been leaked along with specs. Intriguingly, the V60 and V60s seem to have identical specs - even their TENAA listings confirm this. Obviously then the question becomes why launch two identical models with very similar names, but we're way past asking Chinese smartphone makers such questions. Anyway, the V60 (and V60s, but we won't keep referring to both for the sake of brevity) is going to come with a 120 Hz...
