The Punkt MC03 UX design divides your phone experience into two environments: One is a distraction-free, fully protected private environment called the Vault; the other is called the Wild Web, and it's where all the Android apps you want to install live. The Vault is the phone's main screen. Here you'll find the core built-in apps and services, all designed with safety and privacy from the ground up, with encryption, no third-party tracking, no data profiling whatsoever. Stuff like mail, messaging, calendar, contacts, or your file cloud live here. They're featured on a white-on-black home screen in Helvetica type that's meant to recall the iconic design aesthetic of Dieter Rams for Braun (an influence that permeates all of Punkt's products).

When was the last time you opened your contact app? Do you even bother with it? If you use email, chances are you also use your contact app -- perhaps without realizing it. However, not all contact apps are created equal. Some contact apps are very basic, while others are overly complicated. And then there's the sweet spot -- those apps with just the right number of features wrapped up in a well-designed GUI. Are you ready for this? Let's get connected.

The RedMagic 11 Air uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, as confirmed by a Geekbench run of a device with the model number NX799J. This is most likely the RedMagic 11 Air. The prototype which ran the benchmark has 16GB of RAM, but of course more memory options could be offered upon launch (in fact, up to 24GB was rumored). The phone will run Android 16 from day one, unsurprisingly.

Back in September, Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon X2 Elite and Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme chipsets for Windows on Arm laptops, and today it's introducing the cheaper option in the portfolio, the Snapdragon X2 Plus. This is the successor to the Snapdragon X Plus from September 2024. The Snapdragon X2 Plus uses the third generation Oryon CPU and it has an 80 TOPS NPU.

The Motoko's dual first-person-view cameras are positioned at eye level to basically see what you see, enabling real-time object and text recognition - translating street signs, tracking gym reps, summarizing documents on the fly, all of that. There are also dual far and near-field mics, working together to capture voice commands and pick up dialogue within view.

The iPhone 17e is coming soon, expected to be unveiled at some point this coming spring. A new rumor out of China today 'confirms' (as much as any rumor can) the fact that it will boast a 6.1-inch screen with a 60Hz refresh rate and the Dynamic Island feature (which also implies a hole-punch cutout replacing the iPhone 16e's notch), and a downgraded version of the Apple A19 chip that also powers the iPhone 17.

The vivo Y50s 5G and Y50e 5G are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC. At the front, the handsets sport a 6.74-inch flat LCD panel with a refresh rate of 90Hz, HD+ resolution, and 1,000 nit peak brightness. At the back, both phones come with a single 13MP camera, which is paired with an infrared sensor and LED flash. There's also a breathing ring light housed within the camera module.

We're not exactly sure what this entails, but it could be a nod to flagship camera hardware and a larger battery capacity compared to rivals like the iPhone Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Tipster UniverseIce also shared a schematic render for the Magic 8 Air, which shows a brushed aluminum back with a visor design for its cameras that's quite similar to the Google Pixel series. This image is just a render, so the actual device may end up with a different design.

The iQOO 15 launched in China in October and elsewhere in November, and we recently heard that it will soon be joined by the iQOO 15 Ultra, which, according to the latest rumor on the matter, will boast the biggest active cooling fan ever seen in a smartphone. Today the prolific Chinese leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo has shared when we should expect the iQOO 15 Ultra to be launching - in early February.

The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is rumored to arrive in March, and now a new rumor from a tipster over on X claims to shed some light on the camera sensors it will use.

OnePlus is launching the Turbo 6 on January 8, and ahead of that it's already revealed the phone's design, its 9,000 mAh battery capacity, and its slim 1.7mm camera island.

They showcase it in two colorways: one that machine translates from Chinese as Chasing Light Silver (above), the other apparently called Wilderness Green (below).

The Galaxy S26 will come with a 4,300 mAh battery (300 mAh bigger than its predecessor's), while the Galaxy S26+ will support "3x zoom HDR shooting", and the S26 Ultra will have a previously rumored electronically controllable "privacy display" feature to keep prying eyes away from it.

Samsung's upcoming premium A-series smartphone, the Galaxy A57, will reportedly sport a flexible OLED display for the first time. According to a report, the panel will be supplied by Chinese display manufacturer CSOT. While CSOT won't be the sole supplier of the flexible OLED panels for the Galaxy A57, this would mark the first time Samsung is set to source displays from a manufacturer other than its in-house Samsung Display.

It's worth noting that both Dimensity chipsets have yet to be announced.

It's powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC, paired with 16GB of RAM. It runs Android 16. As you can see from the screenshot below, the prototype which ran Geekbench managed a single-core score of 2,753 and a multi-core score of 8,990, but as always we'd caution you against taking such scores too seriously as the device hasn't been launched yet.

The iGaming industry has evolved rapidly over the last decade, driven by innovations in software, regulation and player expectations. Operators now compete not only on game libraries and bonuses but on user interface quality, fairness, and mobile-first delivery. A sophisticated approach to product design and customer care is essential for any brand that wants to retain players and expand into new markets.

Google's hardware division didn't have a particularly strong 2025, releasing new phones that didn't really stand out as particularly innovative. That's not the best strategy in any market, but it's particularly damaging in those outside the US where more makers are present. And, sure, Google isn't primarily a hardware company, but it makes phones, earbuds, and smartwatches every year and fails to make a meaningful market impact against the likes of Samsung and Apple, its main rivals.

Nothing has released the stable version of the Android 16-based Nothing OS 4.0 for the CMF Phone 1.
