In the past couple of days both Apple and Google have unveiled the dates of their upcoming fall launch events, and today OnePlus has an announcement of its own, but this isn't about a new phone - the OnePlus Open's introduction is still up in the air, it seems. Instead, the company has revealed that it will release stable OxygenOS 14, based on Android 14, on September 25. That's quite an optimistic timeline on OnePlus' part, considering the fact that Google hasn't released stable Android 14 yet. A public beta build of OxygenOS 14 is promised to be released in the coming days for the...

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will use only Snapdragon chips, leakster claims

Yesterday, Ice Universe reported that Samsung will be using the Exynos 2400 for the Galaxy S24 series in Europe.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 survives a brutal torture test

However, they've come a long way and the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 can withstand a serious beating. In the latest JerryRigEverything video, the vertical foldable undergoes a brutal torture test. Aside from the usual scratching and burning, the Z Flip5 had to go through sand and backward bending.

According to the results from last week’s poll, the answer seems to be a firm “yes”, but with a big catch – so far, Xiaomi has made no plans to bring the Fold 3 to the global market, leaving it as a China exclusive. And that’s a problem for all those would-be buyers that live elsewhere. Some like the foldable well enough that they will try to import a unit, accepting the risks that come with buying a pricey device that has no official support (software and hardware) nearby.
