iPhone 17 Pro Render Shows New Apple Logo Placement and Aluminium Design

0

Highlights

  • iPhone 17 Pro render leak shows that the Apple logo is now aligned with the centre of the glass portion on the back, rather than the physical centre of the phone.
  • Apple is reportedly using an all-aluminium frame and matching camera bump, giving the phone a sleek two-tone look.
  • The render was shared by Majin Bu and supported by Sonny Dickson, adding credibility to the design changes ahead of the iPhone 17 launch.

The iPhone 17 Series launch still has some time but when did that stop leakers from giving us heads-ups on what to expect from Apple’s upcoming offerings? Several leaked images of dummy units and hands-on videos have already indicated the directions Apple is going with the next iPhone series.

We already saw an early preview of the iPhone 17 Pro series this last week and now, the latest render offers a much clearer view of what to expect.

iPhone 17 Pro – New Leaked Render

Apple leaker Majin Bu has shared a new image on X (formerly Twitter) that gives a better look at the updated Apple logo placement on the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models.

One major change with the iPhone 17 Pro’s design is its shift toward a more two-tone look. Apple is said to be using an all-aluminium frame and matching camera bump this time around. But don’t worry, a glass section will still be there to support wireless charging, MagSafe, and wireless passthrough.

The image also confirms a key design detail that the Apple logo isn’t centred on the phone itself. Instead, it’s aligned with the centre of the glass portion on the back. So technically, it’s still “centred” and just not in the way you might expect.

Sharing the new render, Majin Bu wrote, “Do you like the new Apple logo position on iPhone 17 Pro?”

While the repositioned logo might feel a bit odd at first, it may not be such a big deal once you see it in person. In fact, another trusted leaker Sonny Dickson has backed up Majin Bu’s claim, adding more credibility to the leak.

So if this turns out to be true, the iPhone 17 Pro models will not only bring a fresh logo placement but also a striking new aluminium-based design.

Samsung’s next big Unpacked event is set for July 9 and the Korean tech giant is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Flip 7 FE, and the Galaxy Watch 8 series during the event.

Now, thanks to trusted leaker Steve H.McFly, we’ve got details on when you’ll be able to pre-order and get your hands on these new devices. So, here’s what we know.

There are also whispers that Samsung might tease its much-talked-about tri-fold phone during the event. However, it’s not expected to launch until October.

This Unpacked event is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in a while. This is especially true because the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumoured to be a major step up. While Samsung’s foldables have always been feature-packed, the design had started to feel a bit behind competitors. That’s likely to change this year, with leaks hinting at a thinner profile, larger screens, and a lighter build for the Fold 7.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also expected to be thinner and come with bigger screens and a slightly larger battery. Meanwhile, the more affordable Z Flip 7 FE might offer a folder-style outer display to keep costs down.

As for the Galaxy Watch 8 series, it’s rumoured to feature a refreshed design and new AI-powered health tools.

If you’re interested, reservations are already open for both the Fold 7 and Flip 7. Samsung is offering a $50 credit for early sign-ups, which you can use on other products too and not just the new foldables. There’s no upfront cost, and you’re not locked into a purchase if you change your mind later.

FAQs

Q1. When can I pre-order the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7?

Answer. Pre-orders for Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 will open on July 9 at 3 PM, right after the launch event. The actual shipping will begin on July 25.

Q2. What are the expected upgrades in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7?

Answer. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumoured to be a major step up… with a thinner profile, larger screens, and a lighter build. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also expected to be thinner and come with bigger screens and a slightly larger battery.

Q3. Is there any benefit to reserving the Fold 7 or Flip 7 early?

Answer. Samsung is offering a $50 credit for early sign-ups, which you can use on other products too and not just the new foldables. There’s no upfront cost, and you’re not locked into a purchase if you change your mind later.

0

Highlights

  • Pixel Watch 4 will come in Wi-Fi and LTE versions with 41mm and 45mm sizes and five case colour options including Moonstone and Silver/Iris.
  • Google is introducing new band colours across familiar styles like Active, Leather, Woven and Gradient Stretch Bands, with standout multi-tone designs.

While the Pixel 10 series has seen plenty of leaks, the Pixel Watch 4 has mostly stayed under the radar until now. A new leak has now revealed details about the upcoming smartwatch’s case colours and band options, giving us a clearer picture of what to expect.

According to leaker @MysteryLupin on X, the Pixel Watch 4 will be available in both Wi-Fi and LTE versions, though 5G is still not coming to wearables. It will also come in two sizes including 41mm and 45mm. Just like last year, Google is planning to offer four case colour options –

  • Black/Obsidian
  • Gold/Lemon
  • Moonstone
  • Silver/Iris
  • Silver/Porcelain

Moonstone is expected to be a shade of grey, paired with a matching band. Last year, Google offered certain case colours only with specific sizes like Matte Hazel only being available in the larger size and no Champagne Gold. We’ll likely see similar limitations again this year.

From earlier renders shared in April, it looks like the design of the Pixel Watch 4 will remain mostly the same. The absence of charging pins on the back hints at the return of wireless charging. Interestingly, there are two new cutouts next to the speaker that haven’t been explained yet.

When it comes to bands, Google seems to be refreshing the entire lineup with new colours for 2025, which includes –

  • 2-Tone Leather Band – Jade
  • Active Band – Iris, Lemongrass, Moonstone
  • Active Sport Band – Indigo, Lemongrass, Moonstone, Peony
  • Crafted Leather Band – Moonstone
  • Gradient Stretch Bands – Lemongrass/Frost, Moonstone, Obsidian/Hazel, Peony/Iris
  • Metal Mesh Band – Matte Black, Polished Silver
  • Performance Loop Band – Moonstone
  • Woven Band – Indigo


These appear to be the same band types as before, just with new colour choices. The biggest visual change seems to be the multi-colour designs in the Gradient Stretch Band lineup.

FAQs

Q1. What sizes and connectivity options will the Pixel Watch 4 offer?

Answer. The Pixel Watch 4 will be available in both Wi-Fi and LTE versions… It will also come in two sizes: 41mm and 45mm.

Q2. What are the new case color options for the Pixel Watch 4?

Answer. Google is planning to offer four case colour options – Black/Obsidian, Gold/Lemon, Moonstone, Silver/Iris, Silver/Porcelain.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 Leak Shows Ultra-Thin Design, Battery and Durability Details Revealed Via EU Energy Label

0

Highlights

  • A leaked Amazon screen protector video shows the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s incredibly slim profile, wider outer display and refined hinge gap for easier one-handed use.
  • An EU energy label leak confirms a 4,400mAh battery, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and class B energy efficiency.
  • The Fold 7 scores class A drop resistance, measures just 8.9mm folded, but has class C repairability and an IP48 rating.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 official reveal is just around the corner and it is going to be a buzzy few days leading up to the launch. Earlier this week, a hands-on image of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 leaked online. And now new hands-on video and a leaked EU document are giving us a closer look at the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7. There’s obviously a lot to unpack here, so here’ what we now know based on recent online reveals.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 Hands-On Video Leaked In Screen Protector Listing

An Amazon listing from a seller named WSKEN recently went live on the website. The listing includes a demo video for screen protectors made specifically for the Fold 7. The phone shown in the video may be the real deal or just a dummy unit, but it clearly highlights one thing that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 is incredibly thin when closed.

While we can’t post the video here since it is on an Amazon listing, here are some screenshots from the demo.

While the screen stays off and the back of the phone isn’t shown, the button and port placement match previous leaks. The gap between the two folded halves suggests easier one-handed opening, and the whole device looks just as slim as the Oppo Find N5.

Moreover, the wider outer display gives it a more traditional smartphone feel.

Galaxy Z Fold 7’s Battery and Durability Specs via EPREL label

In another leak, a European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL) document shared by @MysteryLupin on X spills even more details. These labels are now required under EU regulations and give insight into energy efficiency, battery performance, durability and repairability.

According to the EPREL label, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 packs a 4,400mAh battery that offers up to 40 hours and 28 minutes of use per charge and still retains 80% of its capacity after 2,000 charge cycles.

Thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and One UI 8.0, it gets a class B energy efficiency rating.

On durability, the Fold 7 scores a class A drop resistance rating, which is impressive for a device that measures just 8.9mm when folded and 4.2mm when open. This also means it will be thinner than the Vivo X Fold5.

However, its IP48 water and dust resistance rating is the same as last year’s Z Fold 6 and still trails behind rivals like Vivo’s IP59. Repairability is rated class C, meaning repairs could be tricky due to the complex foldable design.

The QR code on the label that’s meant to link to more specs currently leads to a blank EU database page, likely because of a 72-hour delay after launch.

Samsung is offering $50 in credit if you pre-order now from its official website.

FAQs

Q1. What battery performance can users expect from the Galaxy Z Fold 7?

Answer. According to the EPREL label, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 packs a 4,400mAh battery that offers up to 40 hours and 28 minutes of use per charge and still retains 80% of its capacity after 2,000 charge cycles.

Q2. How durable is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 according to the EU energy label?

Answer. On durability, the Fold 7 scores a class A drop resistance rating, which is impressive for a device that measures just 8.9mm when folded and 4.2mm when open.

Q3. What does the leaked video reveal about the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s design?

Answer. The phone shown in the video clearly highlights that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 is incredibly thin when closed.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Users Report Camera Shake After June Software Update

0

Highlights

  • Some Galaxy S25 Ultra users report flickering and jittery camera previews after the June 2025 update.
  • The issue may stem from the ultrawide lens’s focus motor, especially since it lacks OIS. Basic fixes haven’t resolved it for most users.
  • While no official statement has been made, some users have received replacement camera parts under warranty. Visiting a service centre is advised.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is facing criticism as some users have started reporting a strange camera issue after a recent software update. The phone’s 200MP camera is one of its biggest highlights, but now, a flickering problem with the ultrawide lens is frustrating users.

The issue was first noticed earlier this year, but it seems to have gotten worse after the June 2025 One UI 7 update (firmware G928U1UEU2BXF7). Here’s what we know so far.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – Camera Glitch

Recently, an X (formerly Twitter) account named “The Sam #OneUI8” @Samoneui8 posted a video showing what’s happening to a Galaxy S25 Ultra after the last update. The video shows camera preview jitters and this makes photos and videos come out blurry.


Some users on Reddit and Samsung’s official forums have also mentioned hearing a faint rattling sound during the glitch.

While it’s not a widespread issue, it’s not limited to just the S25 Ultra either. A few owners of older models like the Galaxy S24 Ultra have reported the same problem.

Basic fixes like clearing the camera app cache, restarting the phone, or even doing a factory reset haven’t worked for most people. That’s led many to believe it might be a hardware issue, not just a software bug.

Samsung hasn’t made an official statement yet, but some affected users have reportedly received replacement camera parts under warranty. Based on reports, the problem might be caused by the ultrawide lens’s focus motor, especially since this lens doesn’t have optical image stabilisation (OIS).

Meanwhile, Samsung’s support team has also suggested that flickering could be due to indoor lighting, but that doesn’t explain the physical vibration seen in videos.

If you’re dealing with this issue, it’s a good idea to visit a Samsung service centre to check if your device is eligible for a warranty fix. As of now, only a small number of users seem to be affected. But if more cases pop up, Samsung may be forced to take a closer look.

The June update has added smoother animations and new AI features. And since most users aren’t facing any problems, the update itself might not be the main reason.

FAQs

Q1. What issue are Galaxy S25 Ultra users experiencing after the June 2025 update?

Answer. Some users have started reporting a strange camera issue… a flickering problem with the ultrawide lens is frustrating users.

Q2. What might be causing the camera glitch on the Galaxy S25 Ultra?

Answer. Based on reports, the problem might be caused by the ultrawide lens’s focus motor, especially since this lens doesn’t have optical image stabilisation (OIS).

Q3. Has Samsung responded to the camera issue?

Answer. Samsung hasn’t made an official statement yet, but some affected users have reportedly received replacement camera parts under warranty.

Galaxy S26 Ultra Camera Leak Hints at Familiar Setup, Minor Tweaks Expected

0

Highlights

  • The S26 Ultra is expected to retain the 50MP 5x telephoto camera seen in the S24 and S25 Ultra.
  • While the main 200MP and 50MP ultrawide sensors may remain unchanged, a second zoom lens (possibly 3.5x or 8x) and software enhancements could offer subtle upgrades.
  • Samsung may introduce a thinner design, improved battery energy density and better heat dissipation for slightly faster charging.

As the Galaxy S26 Ultra launch inches closer, a new leak reveals key details that might not be what fans were hoping for. While Samsung seems to be fine-tuning the camera system, one key part looks like it’s staying the same, leaving many feeling a sense of familiarity.

According to a GalaxyClub report shared by SamMobile, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will once again come with a 50MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. This is the same setup found in both the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the S25 Ultra. The sensor itself is a 1/2.52-inch unit with 0.7µm pixels, phase-detection autofocus (PDAF), and optical image stabilisation (OIS), a reliable setup, but not new.

This might disappoint fans who were hoping for a bigger upgrade, especially after earlier rumours suggested Samsung might switch to a single 200MP ISOCELL telephoto sensor.

As of now, it seems like Samsung is trying to cut costs where possible, likely to balance out the expense of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 “Elite 2” chip and keep U.S. pricing competitive despite rising tariffs.

There’s still a bit of mystery, though. The second zoom lens hasn’t been revealed yet, but possibly offering 3.5x or even 8x zoom. So, there’s still a chance we could see at least one major upgrade in the zoom department.

Outside of the telephoto cameras, the rest of the setup may stay the same 200MP main sensor and a 50MP ultrawide camera, just like the S25 Ultra. However, Samsung might include some new software tricks or minor improvements.

According to reports, other expected changes include a thinner design, made possible by improved battery energy density. Rather than going above the usual 5,000mAh battery, Samsung seems to be focusing on making the phone sleeker. A better heat dissipation system is also said to be in the works, which might allow for slightly faster charging.

FAQs

Q1. What telephoto camera setup is expected on the Galaxy S26 Ultra?

Answer. The Galaxy S26 Ultra will once again come with a 50MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. This is the same setup found in both the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the S25 Ultra.

Q2. Are there any changes expected in the rest of the camera system?

Answer. Outside of the telephoto cameras, the rest of the setup may stay the same: a 200MP main sensor and a 50MP ultrawide camera, just like the S25 Ultra.

Q3. What design improvements are rumoured for the Galaxy S26 Ultra?

Answer. Other rumoured changes include a thinner design, made possible by improved battery energy density. A better heat dissipation system is also said to be in the works.

Google Pixel Buds 2a, Wireless Charger and More Could Launch with Pixel 10 Series

0

Highlights

  • Google may launch Pixel Buds 2a in Hazel, Strawberry, Iris, and Fog Light colours and a new Sterling grey colour for Pixel Buds Pro 2.
  • Leaks suggest multiple storage variants and colour options across Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold, including up to 1TB storage.
  • Google may introduce a Pixel Charger likely a MagSafe-style puck and a Pixel Wireless Charger.

Google’s next Pixel line-up is still a few weeks away but rumours and speculations are enough to keep the excitement going in the meantime. Recently, a new leak has revealed some of the first-party accessories Google might launch alongside the upcoming Pixel 10 series. Based on the leak, we can say there’s quite a bit to look forward to.

In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), popular tipster Arsène Lupin @MysteryLupin shared some insights on the upcoming Google launch.

Google Pixel Buds 2a – Possible Colour Options (Leaked)

According to the tipster, it seems Google is preparing to introduce the “Pixel Buds 2a” in four colours including Hazel, Strawberry, Iris and Fog Light. These most likely translate to shades of green, red, purple, and light blue.

The current Pixel A-Series earbuds date back to 2021, so it makes sense for Google to refresh its budget-friendly audio lineup.

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 – Colour (Leaked)

In a separate post, the tipster also mentions that a new colour for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 would be a sleek “Sterling”, which is expected to be grey. This could be designed to match the Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 10 XL.

With any luck, Google might also roll out a Feature Drop-style update that boosts Gemini AI’s capabilities on headphones, similar to what we saw during Made by Google 2023, when new Buds Pro colours and major software updates were released.

Pixel 10 Lineup Memory Variants and Colours (Leaked)

Now, that’s not all the information tipster @MysteryLupin revealed. There are also some fresh details about the Pixel 10 phones. According to a post by the same tipster, here’s what we know about the upcoming Pixel 10 lineup memory variants and possible colour options

Pixel 10

Google Upcoming Charging Accessories (Revealed)

As for charging accessories, the tipster points to two products in a separate post. One could be “Google Pixel Charger” in Rock Candy (white), which is likely a charging puck similar to Apple’s MagSafe Charger.

And the other one could be “Google Pixel Wireless Charger,” which sounds more like the next-gen Pixel Stand (version 3) rather than the previously leaked “Pixelsnap Charger with Stand.”

Assuming these leaks are accurate, we can say Google’s upcoming ecosystem is shaping up to be its most colourful and feature-packed yet.

FAQs

Q1. What colours are expected for the upcoming Pixel Buds 2a?

Answer. Google is preparing to introduce the ‘Pixel Buds 2a’ in four colours including Hazel, Strawberry, Iris and Fog Light.

Google has started rolling out its most advanced text-to-video AI model, Veo 3, for Gemini Pro subscribers globally including India. The update was recently confirmed by Josh Woodward, VP of Google Labs and the Gemini app, on X (formerly Twitter). Woodward said the feature is now available to all Pro-tier users worldwide.

Google also released a short video on YouTube announcing the launch of Veo 3 in India.

Veo 3 was originally only available to AI Ultra plan subscribers and later made its way to Pro-tier users in a few select countries. Even though India wasn’t on the initial list, some Indian users had already noticed the Veo 3 option appearing in their Gemini app.

Now, Google has officially confirmed that Veo 3 is available in India.

What’s New in Veo 3?

First announced at Google I/O last month, Veo 3 is a big leap forward for AI video creation. Unlike earlier versions, it can now generate realistic videos with synced audio including ambient sounds and even spoken dialogue.

Google explains, “Veo 3 excels from text and image prompting to real-world physics and accurate lip syncing. It’s great at understanding; you can tell a short story in your prompt, and the model gives you back a clip that brings it to life.”

Veo 3 also powers Google Flow, an AI filmmaking tool that lets paying users –

  • Create videos in 1080p resolution
  • Use advanced camera controls
  • Extend existing clips and much more

What Do You Need To Start Using Veo 3?

To use Veo 3, you’ll need to be subscribed to Google AI Pro, which costs ₹1,950 per month. With this plan, users get access to a lighter version called “Veo 3 Fast.”

It creates 8-second videos in 720p resolution. And thanks to backend improvements, it now delivers results twice as fast. Users can generate up to three videos per day using Veo 3 Fast. After that, the app switches back to the older Veo 2 model for the rest of the day.

If you want full Veo 3 access, you can also subscribe to the AI Ultra plan, which is now available in India for ₹24,500 per month.

Samsung might be getting ready to show off something completely new at its Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9th, 2025. Along with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, there’s a good chance we’ll also see a new premium tri-fold phone, possibly called the Galaxy G Fold.

Ahead of the big launch, a fresh leak from a One UI 8 build has given us a sneak peek at this upcoming tri-fold design. The Android Authority team has found animations within the latest One UI 8 build to give us a pretty solid idea of what the phone might look like. Here’s what we know.

Samsung’s Tri-Fold Phone Design

The animations within the latest One UI 8 build show tri-fold design features two hinges, allowing it to fold both the leftmost and rightmost screens inward. It is much like Samsung’s earlier Flex G prototype. This means the device can open up to reveal a much larger inner screen compared to regular foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 or 7.

There is also a dark variant of the same animation, which gives a better look.

Here’s what stands out from the leaked animations –

  • The rightmost screen has a punch-hole camera.
  • The middle part of the back is also a screen and includes another punch hole.
  • Samsung seems to have ditched the under-display camera this time.
  • The left part of the back has a triple-camera setup, which means you could be looking at four rear cameras in total.
  • The front left section doesn’t have a display. It’s just a blank panel.
  • You fold the left side first, then the right side folds over it.
  • The hinges are of different sizes, likely to support a more secure folding action.

Samsung’s Tri-Fold – What Else Do We Know?

As for other specs and rumours, the Galaxy G Fold is said to feature a 9.96-inch display, weigh 298 grams, and measure 6.54 inches in height when folded. With its complex folding mechanism, it might end up being thicker than Samsung’s current foldables.

There’s also mention of another Samsung folding concept, the Flex S. This S-shaped design also has two hinges and three parts. In this one, the left screen folds outward, and the right screen folds inward, both over the middle section. It’s a bit like Huawei’s Mate XT.

One thing to note is that even though these phones are being called tri-folds, they don’t actually fold in three separate places. Because of this, Samsung might not use the term “tri-fold” at all. The animation files Android Authority found are labelled “Multifold 7”, though it’s unclear if that’s just an internal name or something we’ll see in marketing.

At the end of the day, nothing is official yet from Samsung’s end yet. So, we’ll have to wait until Samsung’s announcement to know for sure.
