Lenovo Halo gaming phone leaks with Snapdragon chip and mature design
A gaming phone that doesn't look like one
Lenovo doesn't get a lot of attention for its phones, but that's because Lenovo-branded handsets rarely launch outside of China. The company's Motorola subsidiary is more prominent in the west, but you might be wishing Lenovo supported more regions when the Halo launches. This newly leaked phone, courtesy of our old friend @evleaks, is just 8mm thick with a 5,000mAh battery and the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (SM8475), which might be branded as "Gen 1 Plus."
New renders show how easily you might confuse the Pixel 6's camera strip for an airport runway
It's an absolute unit
The Google Pixel 6 has leaked so many times we've already lost count. We've seen what's inside, what's outside, what it'll run, and when we'll have it on our hands. It features a distinct design that's radically different from previous Pixel phones, signaling it's Google's most premium smartphone in a good number of years. New press renders have now leaked, showing the phone from a few different angles.
Here's the Pixel 6 from the few remaining angles you haven't seen yet
Plus a good look at the new Pixel Stand charger
Leaks surrounding the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro just won't stop. Google is scheduled to announce the new Pixels on October 19th, but given the current pace of leaks, it's likely that everything about these phones will be detailed before that. Just shortly after a German retailer accidentally revealed the launch pricing and pre-order offers for the Pixel 6 in the region, leaker Evan Blass has shared a plethora of marketing renders of the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro.

5G phones don't need to cost over a thousand dollars. The Motorola Edge, for example, will cost $700 once it arrives in the U.S. But there's word that the company wants to push the barrier further down with not one, but two upcoming Moto G entries.
Huawei teases P40 Series as fresh leak shows off all the color options
The March 26 announcement will now be an online-only event
Previous leaks have given us a pretty good idea of what the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro will look like, but with 10 days to go until the official unveiling, new leaked renders show off every color option for the upcoming phones. Huawei has also shared a teaser video on YouTube that shows off the sleek, curved edge of the display and confirms something we could have easily guessed: the cameras will be the key focus.
The Pixel 4a was just caught on camera yesterday, and it looks like that was only the beginning of the leak season. Evan Blass has posted a triptych of what appear to be advertising or website assets on Twitter, photoshopped into an image of a billboard. We see a few more angles of the phone in these photos, but in one of them, an interesting detail is visible: It has a $399 price tag, just like its predecessor.
Traditionally, LG's spring release cycle has been based around the G-series phones. However, signs increasingly point to LG moving the V-series to the spring slot. A new leak from Evan "evleaks" Blass shows the unannounced V60 ThinQ as a translucent render. LG appears to be packing in the cameras and battery capacity this time.

If the Galaxy Buds weren't compelling enough as a pair of true wireless earbuds for you, you may want to stick around and see what Samsung's cooking up next. The rumor beat for the upcoming Galaxy Buds+ is generating some impressive anticipation already. But if you want to know exactly how the Buds will stack up with the Buds+, Evan Blass has a leak for you.
Huawei's upcoming Mate 30 line is just around the corner, and while the inclusion of Google apps is still a question, an avalanche of leaks over the last two days has answered plenty of others. Following the pile of official-looking renders dug up by Evan Blass, specs have started to leak and hands-on photos have been posted to Chinese social platform Weibo. Most notably, the leaks peg the Mate 30 Pro as having a slightly insane 7680 FPS camera.

- In a press release issued today, TCL teases its upcoming IFA announcements, in the process supporting some of the findings from this leak. We know that the company intends to show off "the first TCL-branded smartphone for global markets," and while it's not sharing details just yet, that news would seem to align with what we've heard about the T1.
TCL may be more known for its TVs than its own phones, but it's had opportunities to flex its mobile muscle by gaining ODM contracts — first, Alcatel Mobile, then BlackBerry, later Palm. Well, at this point, things are seemingly at a lull for the Chinese manufacturer, but it supposedly does have plans for itself when it comes to a real TCL phone or two (or even five).
As is the way with such a high-profile new phone, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ have been leaked left, right, and center. Thankfully, it looks like a plan to ditch physical buttons didn't work out in the end. Previous rumors have suggested that the phones wouldn't be getting Qualcomm's latest silicon, the overclocked plus variant of the 855, but fresh information from a trusted leaker contends that point.

- A new report from Bloomberg reiterates that May 16 date, and attempts to pin it down as when the GS10 5G will ultimately arrive in carrier stores. It also adds that pre-orders are expected to open in just a couple weeks, on April 18. Final pricing is still unknown, but north of $1,000 sounds like a safe bet.
In two days, smartphone fans in Korea will spend up to roughly $1,400 to purchase the Galaxy S10 5G. Samsung's 5G flagship will be the first meaningful push for 5G phones in many countries, but the only thing we knew about its path to the United States was that it would first come to Verizon sometime before summer. That was until leaks blogger Evan Blass tweeted out a cryptic message today.
LG's last few V-series phones have been pretty similar to each other, but it looks like the upcoming V50 is going to have something special up its sleeve: 5G. A leaked photo of the Sprint V50 from Evan Blass reveals that the phone will have 5G capabilities, and given the giant yellow logo on the back, it isn't shy about it.
Samsung's annual Galaxy S refresh is always a big deal, and it's getting to be that time of year. The leaks are increasing in frequency and (we hope) accuracy, and there's another to unpack today. Evan "evleaks" Blass has a photo of the purported Galaxy S10 (code name Beyond 1) sporting an "Infinity-O" camera hole, and he says the phone will also have some cool wireless charging tricks.
Flagship phones with just one rear camera are becoming rare, and apparently two sensors on the back isn't enough either. Nokia's upcoming flagship, the Nokia 9 PureView, has previously been rendered with a whopping five cameras on the back, and this latest leak from Evan Blass confirms the camera setup.
With 2018's high-profile phone launches now behind us, it's time to look ahead to what next year will bring. One of the first and most anticipated releases in the calendar for 2019 is the Samsung Galaxy S10, which we will probably see unveiled at the end of February during MWC in Barcelona. Evan Blass has just shared some details about the device.
Razer started sending out invites to an October 10th event just a couple of weeks ago, with little detail except for a big give away in the shape of a phone silhouette. At the same time, a render of the phone's front conveniently leaked, matching the outline in the 'Save the date.' Now, another render has been uncovered giving us a look the back of the device as well.
Phones are starting to look the same, largely thanks to the iPhone X. Huawei was never very good with making their own designs, and while it's improved over the years, WinFuture and Evan Blass have revealed that it just couldn't resist joining the notch movement with the Mate 20 Lite.
According to known leakster Evan Blass, we're only a few weeks away from Android P's official release date. Pick up your calendar, folks, and mark August 20, because this is when P will likely drop.

- We're just a couple more weeks away from Samsung's presumptive launch event, and the Note9 leaks are only ramping up in intensity. Just the other day we got to check out a new dual-device wireless charger, set to support the Note9 and new Galaxy Watch, and now we've got another glimpse at the Note9 itself, once again thanks to the sleuthing of Evan Blass.
We've been hearing some interesting things about the Galaxy Note9 lately, including a potential in-display fingerprint sensor, a Bluetooth-equipped S Pen, and ISOCELL Plus camera tech. We got a quick look at the phone itself a few days ago via a print ad leak, but it wasn't very comprehensive and it was the only source we had. Now, two more Note9 leaks have presented themselves: a live photo, along with a press render supplied by none other than Evan Blass.
