Google’s Made by Google 2026 event is just around the corner, but at this point, it feels like the company has very little left to surprise us with. The latest leak brings what appear to be official marketing renders of the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, offering perhaps the clearest look yet at Google’s upcoming flagship phones. Shared by well-known leaker Evan Blass, the images don’t just show off the hardware — they also hint at camera upgrades, AI features, and the next-generation Tensor chip powering everything under the hood. While none of the images reveal anything…

I’ve never once suspected my smart TV of moonlighting as someone else’s internet connection. However, that’s apparently been happening to millions of Samsung smart TV users. So what exactly did researchers find? Norwegian cybersecurity firm Mnemonic discovered that several popular Samsung smart TV apps, some claiming installs on hundreds of millions of devices, contain code that quietly shares the owner’s internet connection without permission. One of the apps flagged was a Pac-Man game that, ironically, Samsung had featured in its own “Editor’s Choice” section. That game contained code from Bright Data, which is an Israel-based internet company that runs proxy…
China’s largest homegrown DRAM manufacturer is getting close to producing the memory that could power the next generation of flagship phones, and the timing could hardly be better for buyers. According to China Business News, ChangXin Memory Technologies, better known as CXMT, has nearly completed R&D verification for LPDDR6. This is one of the final major technical stages before small-scale trial production, and the company could begin mass production during the second half of this year. Its current design reportedly reaches speeds of up to 12.8Gbps. This is happening while the global RAM market is in a mess. AI data…
For a brand that’s stuck to safer updates for most of its annual updates, Samsung’s odd new passport-shaped foldable was a surprisingly risky move–and it seems like that gamble is paying off. Early demand suggests the company may have underestimated just how many buyers wanted something different. According to a BusinessPost report, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is selling at roughly three times the pace of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 during the comparable early sales period. Demand has reportedly caught Samsung off guard, leaving the company working to increase production and get more units into stores. Samsung hasn’t shared…
Chromebooks spent 15 years establishing Google as a viable laptop platform. The leaked Lenovo Googlebook 15 suggests the company now wants its next generation of Android-powered computers to sit beside premium Windows machines without those obvious compromises. This model looks distinct from Lenovo’s upcoming 2-in-1 tablet that leaked online a few days ago. Digital Citizen obtained what it describes as the complete press-image collection for the unannounced laptop, revealing its exterior, keyboard, ports, and the clearest look yet at Google’s new desktop interface. Lenovo has yet to unveil the device, but a proper reveal could arrive at IFA in September.…
Samsung appears ready to place another major bet on MediaTek for its most expensive Android tablet. After using the Dimensity 9300+ inside the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and the Dimensity 9400+ in last year’s Tab S11 Ultra, the company may stick with the chipmaker for a third consecutive generation. A new Geekbench listing linked to the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra now gives that possibility more weight. The device carries the model number SM-X946B, closely following the SM-X936B used by its predecessor. Its processor configuration points toward MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500. The chip features one prime core, three performance cores, and four…
Apple’s cheapest new iPhone could receive one of the strangest specification upgrades in the company’s recent history. But rather than going from 8GB to a more typical 12GB of RAM, the iPhone 18e is reportedly landing with an odd 9GB of memory. GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu expects the iPhone 18e to include 9GB of RAM, according to MacRumors. His prediction backs up an earlier report from TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, giving the unusual memory configuration considerably more credibility. Apple is expected to release the phone around March 2027 alongside the standard iPhone 18. The current iPhone 17e…
Xiaomi’s new family SUV is basically a house on wheels with enough claimed range to cover more than 1,000 miles. It also costs considerably less than its outlandish feature list might suggest. The company has officially launched the SkyNomad N90 Max in China for 299,900 yuan, equivalent to roughly $44,400 through direct conversion. Preorders are open now, with the first vehicles expected to reach customers in September. The converted figure provides useful context, though it does not represent pricing outside China. Xiaomi describes the seven-seat flagship as a “house you can move.” This unusually grand pitch starts making sense once…
