Nothing has finally confirmed a key detail about its upcoming Phone (3), set to launch on July 1 in London.

With rumors of a new design and flagship ambitions swirling for weeks, the company has now revealed what powers its latest smartphone under the hood. Through an X post, Nothing announced that the Phone (3) will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset.

The vivo X Fold5 is just days away from its official unveiling, but that hasn’t stopped the leaks from flowing.

Early unboxing videos have started popping up online, giving us a detailed look at vivo’s upcoming foldable. And there’s something quite unexpected: when unfolded, the phone is actually thinner than its own USB-C port.

If your M2 Mac mini refuses to power on, Apple might have you covered. The company has quietly launched a new global service program to address a rare “no power” issue affecting certain 2024 models—offering free repairs for eligible devices.

According to Apple, the issue affects a “very small percentage” of Mac minis manufactured between June 16 and November 23, 2024.

Xiaomi’s next-generation Xring chip could feature Arm’s upcoming “Travis” super core, according to a new leak from popular tipster Digital Chat Station.

The Xring platform has reportedly received Arm architecture authorization, clearing the path for Xiaomi to integrate Arm’s most advanced CPU core yet.
