Samsung is expected to announce their next-gen foldables this year, but when? Last we heard, the rumors claimed it will take place in July. Now a report from SamMobile has seemingly confirmed it. The publication claims that the next Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled for the 10th of July.

The report also claims that Samsung could host it in Paris, France. Seeing as Paris will host the upcoming Summer Olympics, it makes sense as Samsung is one of the event's sponsors. The date also makes sense because the previous foldables were also announced in July.

The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event will see Samsung announce a bunch of new devices. This includes the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 where we heard that there could be a new "Ultra" variant. We also heard there could be a cheaper variant that could encourage adoption of the foldable form factor. Samsung will also most likely share launch and pricing details about the Galaxy Ring wearable that was initially teased earlier this year.

Needless to say that this should be taken with a grain of salt. If you're looking forward to new foldables and a new wearable from Samsung, be sure to check back with us again in the future for more updates.

With Google I/O 2024 coming up pretty soon, we've gotten a ton of leaks on new Pixel devices such as the Pixel 8a, which at this point has been leaked into oblivion. With that being said though, it looks like the 8a isn't the only device that a lot of fans are looking forward to seeing this May.

A recent claim made online by Twitter/X user @MysteryLupin suggests that Google will be "relaunching" its Pixel Tablet at a more affordable price, this time without the charging speaker dock. Additionally, a pen and Bluetooth keyboard are rumored to be part of the new bundle. As the Pixel Tablet currently goes for around $500 with the included dock, the dock-less version will be sold at a considerably cheaper price.

In terms of specs, the Pixel Tablet comes with a large 11-inch display, and is powered by Google's Tensor G2 chipset, which works alongside 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. There's also a large 7,000 mAh battery onboard, and a pair of 8-megapixel cameras for video calls and photos.

Going back to the leak, we're bound to know more once Google I/O goes live this May.

During the Snapdragon Summit last year, Qualcomm unveiled its new Snapdragon X Elite chipset. This is a new chipset that is designed to compete against the Apple Silicon and bring more Arm-based computers to the market. Now thanks to benchmarks of the Snapdragon X Elite that have been spotted on Geekbench, it looks promising.

This was discovered by Windows Latest who found a benchmark for the Surface Laptop 6. It is widely speculated to be the Snapdragon X Elite, even though the chipset was not identified specifically. According to the scores, it managed to achieve 2,714 for single-core performance and 14,078 for multi-core performance.

For context, Apple's M3 Pro scored 3,084 in single-core and 14,017 in multi-core. While the M3 Pro seemingly leads the way in single-core performance, the Snapdragon X Elite has it slightly beat in the multi-core department according to the benchmarks. That being said, it should be noted that these scores only tell one side of the story. There are other things to consider when purchasing a laptop.

Plus, Qualcomm seems to be mired in some controversy right now regarding its benchmarks. The company has yet to disclose its chip TDP. This means that it is possible that the company's chipsets could be drawing more power than the Apple Silicon. This in turn could give it higher benchmark results. We'll have to wait for the actual laptops to be released to get a better idea.

One of the changes to Android we've seen in the past few years is dark mode. This is where the overall UI takes on a darker look so it doesn't look so glaring at night. Developers have largely supported it, but there are some that haven't. Luckily, Android 15 will change that by forcing all apps to go dark even if they don't support it natively.

According to a report from Android Authority, a recent APK teardown has revealed that Google plans to introduce a feature in Android 15. This new feature will basically force all apps to have a dark mode. This comes in the form of a toggle called "Make all apps dark", although there is a bit of a catch.

Since some apps don't have a native dark mode, Google notes that toggling on this feature could result in some display issues. Android Authority tested it out and found that in some cases, it ended up reducing the contrast of some buttons. We suppose it will vary from app to app, but it could be a good way to make sure all your apps are dark when dark mode is toggled.

For the most part, a lot of apps out there do support dark mode. Hopefully this could force those holdouts to implement something native of their own, or risk ruining the user experience. Either way, we'll have to wait and see, but if you do like using dark mode, then this Android 15 feature could be something to look forward to.

OnePlus recently announced that it will be launching an exclusive new edition of its flagship smartwatch model, which it calls the OnePlus Watch 2 Nordic Blue edition. The new special color variant is designed for European markets, and draws inspiration from classic timepieces. Priced starting at £329 / €379, it's currently exclusive for European and UK markets, and adds a bit of flair to the otherwise plain-looking design on its siblings.

This includes a new hybrid leather strap, which combines fluororubber and genuine leather design accents for a more classy look and feel, in addition to a unique-looking two-tone blue GMT dial not found on the other OnePlus Watch 2 variants. It does make for a much-welcome does of variety though, in case you want something other than the original two models launched a while back.

With all that said, the new color edition comes with all of the same hardware specifications as on the other variants - this includes a 1.43-inch AMOLED touch screen, IP68 dust and water protection, Snapdragon W5 chip, 2GB of RAM and 32GB ROM, as well as the secondary BES 2700 MCU Efficiency chipset.

As for price, buyers in the United Kingdom and EU regions can grab the OnePlus Watch 2 Nordic Blue edition for £329 / €379.
