This week, Asus confirmed that it won’t be making any more smartphones. The company will instead focus its energy on R&D on commercial PCs and physical AI (i.e., robotics and smart glasses). The company will continue to support existing smartphones, however.
Per Ice Universe, Samsung will unveil the S26 series on February 25. Pre-orders will begin on February 26 and end on March 4. Then a pre-sale period from March 5 to March 10, and then general sales from March 11.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra was initially reported to ship in four colors, but Evleaks says we’re expecting more than that.
The maker is going all in on AI with robotics and smart glasses.
The series is tipped to be available for pre-order in South Korea starting February 26.
It seems Samsung will hold off on the trendy orange hue for its top-tier flagship.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 lineup next month.
A major report surfaced, saying that OnePlus is shutting down, but the brand put out an official report debunking the rumors. OnePlus is sticking around, for the time being.
Honor unveiled the Magic8 Pro Air with a 6.3-inch display, a 5,500mAh battery, and an impressive camera system – 50MP selfies, 50MP ultrawide, 64MP zoom, and a 50MP main camera.
We also got TENAA-backed specs for the Galaxy A57. It has a 6.6-inch screen, a processor running at up to 2.9GHz, and an Exynos 1680 SoC. The report details the cameras – 50MP main, and 12MP and 5MP secondary cameras, alongside a 12MP selfie.
OnePlus sticking around for the time being.
Honor’s iPhone Air competitor gets a 64MP telephoto periscope cam with 3.2x optical zoom.
It is expected to be powered by the unannounced Exynos 1680 SoC.
The iQOO 15 Ultra is coming with the biggest physical fan on a phone and is obviously a potent performer; it topped AnTuTu with a 4.5 million score.
The iPhone 18 Pros are getting LTPO+ OLEDs, which in addition to being more efficient, will be able to have the IR camera for the Face ID system hidden behind it, meaning the phones will have smaller pill notches.
The ultra-gaming phone is coming sometime soon with the biggest active cooling fan.
It will be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset.
Only Samsung and LG can make LTPO+ OLED panels, though.
