    Samsung is in the process of developing a super slim flagship phone that aims to combine high-end hardware with a top-notch design. The Galaxy S25 Edge has been mentioned in various rumors and reports, and the newest certification discovery highlights its underwhelming fast charging capabilities.

    Galaxy S25 Edge Certification

    The Galaxy S25 Edge models for both India and the US have been approved by the FCC. The Indian models are listed with the SM-S937B/DS and SM-S937B identifiers, while the American versions go by SM-S937U and SM-S937U1 (as per 91Mobiles). Although the certification doesn’t officially name the device, the model numbers indicate that it is indeed the Galaxy S25 Edge. The certification doesn’t share much detail, but affirms support for 5G, Bluetooth LE, WiFi, NFC, WPT, and UWB.

    Key Specifications Revealed

    One of the crucial points confirmed by the listing was the fast charging rate. Sadly, Samsung is adhering to the disappointing 25W charging speeds for the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is the same as the standard Galaxy S25. According to previous leaks, the S25 Edge is expected to feature a 2K resolution on its 6.6-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, wrapped in a durable titanium frame. The expected global launch for the S25 Edge might be in April 2025.

    The device might be powered by a 3,900mAh battery. Additional impressive features include an IP68 rating, dual rear cameras with 200MP and 50MP sensors, Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, a weight of 162 grams, an ultra-slim body measuring 5.84mm, One UI 7 custom interface out of the box, 12GB of RAM, and options for up to 512GB of internal storage.

  • Red Magic 10 Pro+ Live Images and Battery Specs Unveiled on TENAA

    Red Magic 10 Pro+ Live Images and Battery Specs Unveiled on TENAA

    Nubia is getting ready to unveil its latest flagship gaming smartphones in China in the near future. Before the official reveal, images of the Red Magic 10 Pro+ and its battery specifications have been disclosed through a certification listing.

    Design of the Red Magic 10 Pro+ Uncovered

    The new gaming phone was seen on China’s TENAA certification (Via 91Mobiles). The database shows the front and back design of the Red Magic 10 Pro+. It comes with flat edges, a slim body, small bezels, a full-screen display at the front, and a see-through panel at the back. You can also spot the camera sensors and the LED flash module located at the top left corner of the rear side.

    Specifications of Red Magic 10 Pro+

    Recently, the full design of the Red Magic 10 Pro series was showcased through promotional images (teasers also confirmed the Deuterium Transparent Dark Night and Deuterium Transparent Silver color options). These renders match up with the earlier teasers. An interesting feature seen in these live images is that the camera modules are flush with the rear panel, meaning they don’t stick out. The TENAA listing has also verified the battery specifications of the Red Magic 10 Pro+.

    The device uses a dual battery setup, with one battery being 3,100mAh and the other at 3,450mAh. This gives an impressive total battery capacity of 6,550mAh. This is a significant improvement over last year’s Red Magic 9 Pro+, which had a 5,500mAh battery. Earlier rumors had suggested that this model could come with a larger 7,050mAh cell. It is confirmed that this smartphone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC and will feature a BOE display with a resolution of 1.5K and a refresh rate of 144Hz.

  • OnePlus 13R Launch Soon: Certified on Official Site

    OnePlus 13R Launch Soon: Certified on Official Site

    The OnePlus 13 has made quite a splash with its recent release in China, but now chatter about its lower-cost counterpart, the OnePlus 13R, is starting to heat up. Recently, the device was listed on the Global Certification Forum (GCF) website, suggesting that it may be launched soon.

    GCF Listing Reveals Details

    The model number CPH2645 for the OnePlus 13R was uncovered by MySmartPrice through the GCF listing. This entry also confirms that the phone will support various connectivity options, such as 2G GSM, 3G WCDMA, 4G LTE (covering both FDD and TDD), and 5G.

    The 5G capabilities include numerous bands—n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n20, n28, n38, n40, n48, n66, n77, and n78—guaranteeing it works with most networks worldwide.

    Expected Features of OnePlus 13R

    While further specifics about the OnePlus 13R remain unclear, we can speculate based on rumors and previous models. It’s anticipated that the OnePlus 13R will come with a 1.5K resolution screen, but the exact dimensions are still not known. Considering that the OnePlus 12R had a 6.78-inch display, it’s reasonable to expect a similar size for this new model.

    Rumors also suggest that the OnePlus 13R may be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. The camera setup is expected to include a 50MP Sony IMX906 as the main sensor, alongside a 50MP Samsung JN1 telephoto lens, marking an improvement over the OnePlus 12R’s 50MP Sony IMX890 main camera, which was paired with a lower-quality ultra-wide and macro sensor.

    Battery and Rebranding Speculations

    Moreover, the OnePlus 13R might house a bigger 6,000mAh battery, an upgrade from the 5,500mAh battery in the OnePlus 12R. There’s also a buzz that the OnePlus 13R could actually be a rebranded version of the upcoming OnePlus Ace 5, which is set to be unveiled in China before the year wraps up. This aligns with OnePlus’s trend of launching R-series phones as rebranded versions of their Ace series.

    With its certification from GCF, it seems likely that the OnePlus 13R will soon get a global rollout. We’ll be sure to keep you informed as new information becomes available.

  • Asus ROG Phone 9/9 Pro Leak: 24GB RAM and AI Features Revealed

    Asus ROG Phone 9/9 Pro Leak: 24GB RAM and AI Features Revealed

    The ROG Phone 8 Pro is a device that is expected to feature 16GB of RAM on platforms like Amazon.com, although it originally had a 24GB option at launch. It is believed that its upcoming successors will also boast this high-end specification when they are released.

    Upcoming Models and Specs

    The model number "ASUSAI2501C," which may refer to either the ROG Phone 9 or 9 Pro based on earlier leaks, has come to light showcasing its capabilities with 24GB of RAM paired with the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. This powerful combination has produced Geekbench AI results that are variably good to very good so far. Additionally, the “9/9 Pro” is reported to operate on Android 15 according to the latest information.

    Possible Features and Innovations

    In summary, this leak potentially adds more credibility to the idea that the 9 series could be the first in Asus’s flagship line to be labeled as ‘true AI gaming’ smartphones, which might launch in November 2024. However, this information doesn’t clarify how the 9 will be distinct from the 9 Pro. It’s possible that the standard model may not include the new AniMe display designed for the rear panel, which will allow for mini-games in this generation of ROG Phones.

  • OnePlus Open 2 Specs Leak: 5700mAh Battery, 50MP Cameras, Slim Design

    OnePlus Open 2 Specs Leak: 5700mAh Battery, 50MP Cameras, Slim Design

    Prominent leaker Digital Chat Station has recently revealed important specifications for the upcoming OnePlus Open 2 and Oppo Find N5 foldable smartphones. Both devices, similar to their earlier versions, the OnePlus Open and Oppo Find N3 (which we reviewed), are believed to share the same design. The OnePlus model is set to be released globally, while the Oppo version will be exclusive to China. Both smartphones are anticipated to debut in the first quarter of 2025.

    Slim Design Expected

    In a Weibo post, the leaker mentioned that the “extreme slimness” is likely to be the key highlight of these new foldables. This aligns with previous statements suggesting they might be slimmer than the current record-holder, the 9.2 mm thick Honor Magic V3 (check out our review here). Even though the overall design is expected to remain unchanged, featuring a prominent round camera module, the screen size is rumored to increase, though the exact dimensions remain unspecified.

    Enhanced Camera and Battery

    Regarding the camera setup, the new models are said to include three 50 MP Hasselblad-tuned cameras: a main camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto lens with 3x zoom capabilities. Additionally, the battery is reportedly getting a substantial upgrade to 5,700 mAh (using a dual-cell configuration), compared to the previous 4,805 mAh, and will support wireless charging.

    Powerful Performance Ahead

    The new foldable devices will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, which is also expected to feature in several upcoming flagship phones like the OnePlus 13, Xiaomi 15 series, iQoo 13, RedMagic 10 Ultra, and Asus ROG Phone 9.

    Interestingly, some of these specifications seem to conflict with recently leaked information from other sources, which suggest a larger 6,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery and a quad-camera arrangement similar to what’s expected on the Oppo Find X8 Ultra. As the launch date approaches, we can anticipate more information to surface.
