The OnePlus 12R seems like a formidable budget flagship on its way to the US
A comprehensive leak on the OnePlus 12’s cheaper sibling
The OnePlus 12 was announced in China earlier this month as one of the first smartphones with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. While it was expected to be joined by another device in the series at a different price point, little was known about it. Today’s leak changes that, shedding light on the yet-unknown OnePlus 12R. And it seems like it will also be making its way to North America.
Qualcomm's next-gen Snapdragon Wear 5100 chips could be seriously battery friendly
Even if they may not be much faster than what we have now
Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear 4100 chipset represented a massive upgrade over its predecessor, and the series arrived as the SoC bump Google's Wear OS desperately needed. But almost two years after launch, it's high time to be thinking about a refresh. A new report suggests that Qualcomm’s indeed working on something, detailing what we might hope to expect from the Snapdragon Wear 5100 and 5100+.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 series could launch with Exynos 2200 chip in the UK and Europe
On-sale date rumored to be February 25
The leaks surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S22 series have mostly focused on the Ultra model and its new S Pen, the launch and availability of the phones, and the fate of the Samsung's Exynos 2200 chip. A new leak now focuses on the Galaxy S22+ specs and gives us another look at its design.
Samsung Galaxy S22 leaks have been making their way to the internet since late last year. At this point, almost everything about the phones has been detailed, including their design, key specs, and other features. The company could spring a last-minute surprise by not launching an Exynos 2200-powered variant in the international markets this time around, but that's about it. Now, ahead of the rumored Galaxy Unpacked event next month, a new leak has detailed the pricing of Samsung's flagship 2022 Galaxy phones and the Tab S8 series.

Samsung doesn't intend on fixing what's not broken
It's almost 2022, and that means we're closer than ever to the launch of Samsung's next-gen flagships. We've already got a glimpse of what's to come, thanks to leaked press renders of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, but now a new leak gives us a little more to chew on, along with some official-looking renders of the smallest member of the family, the Galaxy S22.
25W Samsung wireless charger destined for Galaxy S22 passes through FCC
Faster than before, but still not that fast
Samsung's flagship Galaxy S phones are among the best in the Android world, but their charging speeds leave a lot to be desired. While the likes of OnePlus and Xiaomi have launched phones capable of charging wirelessly at speeds upwards of 50W, the Korean smartphone giant's devices top out at a paltry 15W. However, if a new Samsung wireless charger spotted going through the FCC is anything to go by, it looks like the company will fix this issue to a certain extent with the Galaxy S22 series next year.

A new leak is giving the world its first look at the "Pixel Watch" by sharing some early marketing images.

We've already seen leaks of the upcoming Galaxy Tab A8 tablet, revealing a new design language for the budget line. Today we're getting word of the specs underneath the 10-inch screen.
