The upcoming device, which is rumored to directly replace the Galaxy S25, could come with a 6.3-inch display (up from 6.2 inches), according to a report from Android Headlines. Based on leaked renders, it also looks like a new pill-shaped bump could house the phone’s three cameras.

If you care about who makes the processors that MediaTek, Samsung, and more use in their smartphone chips, you’ll want to know that Arm has released new CPUs and GPUs named Lumex. It marks the end of its “Cortex” cores, which now get boring names like “C1-Ultra” and “C1-Pro.”

Unsure about the Air or put off by the Pro? Don’t worry: with double the storage, a 120Hz display, and its upgraded selfie camera, the regular iPhone 17 looks like the best of the bunch, and not for the first time.

Samsung earned plaudits for its super-slim Z Fold 7, but it’s not done yet. Korea’s ET News reports it plans two Folds next year, with one squatter and wider, with a square screen inside. No doubt it’s pure coincidence that the foldable iPhone is rumored to be a similar shape.

Last month Google bigged up the replaceable batteries on the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2A. It didn’t talk much about phone repairability, but maybe it should have: iFixit gave the Pixel 10 a provisional 6/10, noting the battery is easier to access than on previous Pixels.

Bad news if you were hoping to Hulk out: Apple is rolling out a software update across the bloc to reduce transmitter power and meet strict radiation standards. It’s an expansion of a change it made in France in 2023, following a new European Commission decision backing the French regulator.

We’re still waiting for Samsung’s first trifoldable phone — last we heard it’s due “this year” — but Huawei is ready for round two. It’s announced a September 4th launch for the Mate XTs, a follow-up to the impressive Mate XT, and has already teased a major upgrade: stylus support.
