Samsung confirmed the Galaxy S25 Edge launch date this week – the slim Galaxy is coming on May 13. The Edge “embodies the ultimate camera experience” with its much-rumored and now confirmed 200 MP main sensor, which “continues Galaxy’s iconic camera experience, delivering pro-grade capabilities to intuitively capture the world around you”. And of course, the phone will have a ton of AI features, which we already know and love from the other members of the S25 family.
Google poked fun at Apple for copying its camera bar design. The ad is part of a long-running series that anthropomorphizes a Pixel and an iPhone and presents them as friends.
In the build-up for its global GT 7 launch, Realme showed off a prototype phone with a 10,000mAh battery. The most impressive thing about this prototype is that it measures only 8.5mm thick and weighs 215g. Realme used a battery with 10% silicon anode and achieved an energy density of 887Wh/L.
The incredibly dull and unshocking revelation is that companies copy concepts from each other – go figure.
It’s thinner and lighter than you might think.
The company has also confirmed the main camera’s resolution.
A leak detailed vivo’s X200 FE for the Indian market. It’s said to sport a flat 6.31-inch OLED screen with “1.5K” resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and an under-display fingerprint sensor, and will be powered by either the Dimensity 9300+ or the still-unofficial Dimensity 9400e. The X200 FE will apparently come with a 50 MP main camera using Sony’s IMX921 sensor, a 50 MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom using Sony’s IMX882, and an 8 MP ultrawide. For selfies, we’ll get a 50 MP snapper. The phone will allegedly be offered in two RAM/storage combo options: 12/256GB and 16/512GB. It will be IP68 and IP69 certified for dust and water resistance, and will get a 6,500 mAh battery with support for 90W fast wired charging. It’s rumored to weigh approximately 200g.
The specs of the Honor 400 Pro also fully leaked. It’s expected to have a 6.7-inch 1080×2412 OLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and 5,000-nit peak HDR brightness, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC at the helm, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. On the rear will be a 200 MP main camera with OIS, a 50 MP telephoto camera, and a 12 MP ultrawide. For selfies, there’s a 50 MP shooter and a depth sensor. There’s a 5,300mAh Si/C battery with 100W wired charging. p. It will be IP68 and IP69 rated for dust and water resistance. It measures 160.8 x 76.1 x 8.1 mm and weighs 205g.
It will be a smaller-screen device with flagship specs, but not quite identical to the X200 Pro mini.
There is also a version in China that has a smaller battery.
It’s expected to be unveiled alongside the non-Pro 400 very soon.
Finally, Sony will unveil its Xperia 1 VII on May 13 – the same day as the Galaxy S25 Edge. Anyway, back to Sony – according to the leaks, the Xperia 1 VII looks nigh-on identical to its predecessor, but is slightly shorter, wider, and thicker, while expected to keep the same 6.5-inch screen size. It will reportedly be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM.
But only in one region most likely, and you probably know which one.
Get ready for a new flagship Xperia!
Time to migrate to Microsoft Teams.
Apple is apparently betting on two things.
