Apple unveiled the iPad mini (2026) with an OLED screen and the A20 Pro chipset on Monday, and the first units will reach buyers on November 6. Ahead of that, one has already been run through Geekbench 7, so we now have a good idea of how it performs. The listing is for the iPad19,2, which is the Wi-Fi + Cellular model, and it shows 3,879 points in the single-core test and 9,870 in multi-core. The CPU has five cores (two performance and three efficiency ones), with the performance cores clocked

Motorola first showed off the Signature 27 during Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit back in September, but it's been holding back the full specs and pricing ever since. Yesterday, its Indian website said the phone is "coming this November", and now the company has narrowed that down to an exact date: November 5. Here's what we already know. The Signature 27 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, cooled by an ArcticMesh system with a vapor chamber that's 40% larger than the pre

The Oppo Find X10 Ultra's full camera setup leaked earlier this week, but what about the chip that will be powering it? The Find X9 Ultra launched back in April with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, so you'd expect its successor to stick with Qualcomm. That might not necessarily be the case. Today, a tipster on Weibo said that a Dimensity 9600 Pro version of the Ultra is being tested with customized imaging algorithms. This image processing customization would presumably be in service of Op

SpaceX has made no secret of its plans to enter the US telecom market, and earlier this month it bought more spectrum to turn Starlink Mobile into a full-fledged carrier. It's also reportedly in talks to get access to at least 80,000 cell sites across the country. A quicker way to get started would be an MVNO deal with an existing carrier - basically, renting capacity on someone else's network. Now, T-Mobile CEO Srini Gopalan has made it clear that this won't be happening with his company. Aske

OnePlus announced the Ace 7 series, comprising two phones: the Ace 7 and the Ace 7 Pro. Some believe that the vanilla Ace 7 is going to be rebadged as the OnePlus 16R for markets outside of China. The party trick of the two phones is that they feature fans to keep the powerful chipsets running cooler during long gaming sessions. After all, the Ace 7 series are gaming-oriented devices. Let's start with the OnePlus Ace 7 Pro, which is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with

Honor’s latest addition to its X-series is now official with the Honor X9e s. The device is already available across the Middle East with a starting price of SAR 1,499 ($400) for the single 8/256GB trim.

Honor X9e s The X9e s comes in the same Dawn Orange, Midnight Black and Glacier White colors. It’s built around a 6.79 AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh ra

There has been no shortage of controversy surrounding the iPhone Duo and more specifically its delicate hinge mechanism. We’ve seen numerous reports of inner display damage with Apple openly acknowledging the issue, claiming it only affects “a small number of iPhone Duo units” and that affected users should contact Apple for a replacement.

Xiaomi’s first clip-on style buds, suitably named the Xiaomi Clip-on, were unveiled back in May alongside the Xiaomi 17 Max launch. Today, the company is introducing the Redmi K100 and the Redmi Clip Neo buds appeared alongside. This style of buds clips around your ear instead of relying on friction to stay in your ear.
