OnePlus is expected to unveil a new flagship smartphone in the OnePlus 10 Pro, with some new leaked specifications to get excited over.

The new OnePlus 10 Pro smartphone will rock Qualcomm's newly-named-and-still-not-yet-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SoC, along with 12GB of RAM and a 6.7-inch QHD+ display with a slick 120Hz refresh rate. Not only that, but we'll have a large 5000mAh battery and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

We should see a 48-megapixel main sensor, 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and 8-megapixel 3.3x telephoto sensor on the back for cameras on the OnePlus 10 Pro smartphone. For selfies, OnePlus is reportedly deploying a high-end 32-megapixel sensor for those super-sharp selfies. We don't know anything more at this point, but that's about all you need to know anyway without confirmed specs -- oh, and the OnePlus 10 Pro will obviously have 5G support, too.

Apple's next-generation iPhone 14 will arrive in 2022 with fresh rumors that it will be a "complete redesign", while a new concept of the iPhone 14 teases an alternate look at what Apple could do.

The new video was posted by ConceptsiPhone, showing a sleek new iPhone 14 with a dual-screen design which is giving me some serious HipTop vibes (man, I loved the HipTop). The second display slides out from beneath the main display, with a new A16 Bionic chip inside, Face ID and Touch ID technologies of course, and a new "Air Charge" technology for wirelessly charging your iPhone 14 from a distance... oh yeah.

I don't think Apple would do this style of radical redesign with a secondary, slide-out display but with their main competitor, Samsung, having multiple generations of awesome foldable smartphones... Apple needs to do something big with the iPhone 14.

Caviar is no stranger to making some of -- if not the -- most expensive custom smartphones ever. Today, Russian luxury company Caviar has unveiled its new Tyrannophone... which has a real tooth fragment from a real T-Rex, which is 80 million years old.

The company is only making 7 of its very, very limited edition Tyrannophone which it makes in just 1 smartphone variant: Apple's new iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max smartphones, and only in the 1TB capacity model. Hardware to the side, the Tyrannophone features the aforementioned T-Rex tooth fragment, and so much more.

Caviar has used a beautiful, hardened titanium panel and Teradiamond option of the Tyrannophone which features 1024 diamonds on the back. The new Tyrannophone uses a lightweight composite foundation with engraving on the back, with beautiful gold-plated jewelry alloy. But it's the eye of the T-Rex that's the best, with Caviar using real amber -- and then using titanium for the awesome volumetric head sculpture of the T-Rex.

Samsung's next-gen Galaxy S22 series family of smartphones could use Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 898 chipset exclusively, and not use its own in-house Exynos SoC at all according to new rumors.

The rumors from our friends at Lets Go Digital add that Samsung could be "completely abandoning the Exynos 2200 for the Galaxy S22 series. For many this will be a disappointment". The new Samsung Exynos 2200 has been talked about for a while now, as it involves a custom GPU based on AMD's own RDNA 2 GPU architecture, which was meant to be something quite special.

Maybe we'll see Samsung save its super-fast in-house Exynos 2200 SoC for a new smartphone the company hasn't announced yet, a new premium smartphone outside of the Galaxy S and Galaxy Z Fold, Z Flip families of handsets. The Galaxy Note seems to be retired, but maybe a powerhouse new smartphone might be announced exclusively using Samsung's in-house Exynos 2200 SoC while the mainstream Galaxy S22 series is powered by Qualcomm's mighty Snapdragon 898 SoC.

Google has made its new flagship Pixel 6 Pro smartphone official, with the most premium Android phone from the company packing some serious hardware chops.

First off, we have a huge 6.7-inch 3440 x 1440 LTPO AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, with battery life expanded with the LTPO display dynamically adjusting between 10Hz and 120Hz, depending on the content displayed on the screen.

Google is using its own Tensor Processor inside of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, made on the TSMC 5nm process node and joined by a secondary Titan M2 co-processor. We have 12GB of RAM across the board, with the new Pixel 6 Pro available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB capacities. Battery life shouldn't be an issue with a 5000mAh battery, 30W fast charging, and 23W wireless charging -- Google provides no charger in the box.

I still remember owning the Nokia 6310 and it being the defacto indestructible phone, but did you know it has been 20 years since its release, and now Nokia is re-releasing the Nokia 6310 to celebrate the anniversary.

The new Nokia 6310 has some upgrades under the hood for 2021, with a new color display, rear camera, and then we've got access to news channels and radio stations. Nokia has thankfully retained the look of the 6310, but includes an upgraded larger curved display, and those same weeks-between-charges battery life.

Nokia's new 6310 is available in two colors: yellow, and black while inside we have 16MB of RAM, 8MB of internal storage (LOL) and 32GB microSD card supply. These specs sound so pathetically low, but that is what is inside the Nokia 6310 alongside the Unisoc 6531F processor and S30+ operating system.

Google's next-gen Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones are right around the corner, with some reports surfacing on pricing: the Pixel 6 starts at $749 while the bigger Pixel 6 Pro begins at $1049.

The new starting price of $749 is steep for the Google Pixel 6 is steep, but it's no different to the flagship Apple and Samsung smartphones -- Apple's new iPhone 13 starts at $699, $50 less than the Pixel 6's purported starting price. The bigger Pixel 6 Pro at $1049 or $1099, with Apple's new iPhone 13 Pro Max starting at $1099.

Google is swinging much higher this time around with the Pixel 6 Pro, offering a high-end flagship akin to the Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro Max. We should expect Android 12 nice and nude, the Google way, and many tweaks under the hood hardware-wise now that Google is using its own in-house Tensor chip.

Samsung's new flagship foldable Galaxy Z Fold 3 smartphone is in the hands of millions across the world, with one user dropping it from a bike -- the phone surviving, but then blowing up when it was being packaged up. Check it out:

The Galaxy Z Fold 3 survived a fall from his bike a week ago, after he visited a Samsung repair center and was told to box it up and mail it in. Once the Galaxy Z Fold 3 was put in the box, it exploded and was thrown in the garage for it to blow smoke out of the battery which now had a hole in it.

Just as @CoachCWC said on Twitter, imagine if this happened during shipping. It was being boxed up to be sent back, what if it did this as it was in the air and on its way to Samsung for repair. Just to be clear, this isn't an article about 'OMG the Galaxy Z Fold 3 exploding is like the Galaxy Note 7 all over again', but this phone was dropped beforehand.

Apple is just getting the iPhone 13 into the hands of millions of people across the world, but we're already hearing rumors of the iPhone 14.

Apple's next-gen iPhone 14 will reportedly be a "complete redesign" according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the first iPhone redesign since the iPhone X back in 2017. The just-released iPhone 13 isn't a big change over the previous iPhone 12 while the new iPhone 14 will be a big change.

Ming-Chi Kuo, the infamous Apple analyst, said that Apple would drop the notch in 2022 and that the iPhone 14 Pro would feature a hole-punch camera... just like most flagship Android smartphones. The new iPhone 14 would look more like the iPhone 4, just much bigger, with a band-style titanium outer ring, flush rear cameras, and a thicker chassis.

Apple has enjoyed great success with its phenomenal new 12.9-inch iPad Pro, rocking its in-house M1 processor and Mini-LED display technology. But the new iPad Pro, it is rumored to have a horizontally-placed camera to push users into using the iPad in landscape mode.

According to new rumors from @dylandkt on Twitter, who leaked out early whispers on Apple's unreleased M1X MacBook Pro laptops, has said: "Future iPad Pro's will feature a horizontal camera placement and a horizontally placed Apple logo on the back. Apple will make landscape mode the default for iPad Pro usage. I have not confirmed whether the next generation model will have this feature but it is in the works".

It makes sense, as an owner of Apple's new 12.9-inch iPad Pro it is definitely annoying having to use the Face ID feature with the camera at the top of the iPad if I'm watching videos or playing a game. Although, an under-display camera directly in the middle of the iPad Pro would be even better.
