Read on to find out more details.

Samsung is set to refresh its Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ lineup with new color options, as confirmed by recently leaked images of the SIM trays. These colors provide an early look at the aesthetic direction Samsung is taking with its upcoming smartphones, expected to launch in January 2025.

Qualcomm unveiled the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite with notable improvements in performance and efficiency over its predecessor. But all of these upgrades came at a cost since the 8 Elite got a sizeable price hike. Now, a fresh leak has hinted at its successor getting another significant price hike as well.

iPads often come to mind first when we think about tablets, and for good reason—Apple has done a remarkable job creating a standout device for the large-screen market. But in today’s day and age, we have plenty of excellent alternatives, meaning you don’t need to join Apple’s ecosystem just for a tablet or stay locked into it.

iQOO, the smartphone brand that has been selling its devices exclusively online in India since its debut in 2020, is set to venture into the offline retail space starting this month. This move marks a significant shift in the brand’s strategy as it seeks to increase its presence and accessibility in the Indian market.
