The first Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phones could have ridiculously big batteries

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A new Xiaomi 16 series leak suggests major battery upgrades across the board. This varies from 7,000mAh for the compact Xiaomi 16 all the way to 7,500mAh for the purported Xiaomi 16 Pro Max. These will be the first phones with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (or Gen 2) processors. Xiaomi will be the first Android brand to offer phones with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (or Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2) processor. However, it looks like all three of these upcoming

The tiny iOS 26 update that made a big difference for me

Nina Raemont/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Apple increased the size of its timer and alarm buttons on iOS 26. The update makes it easier to dismiss them. Not every software update needs to be flashy to be helpful. I'm waking up at the crack of dawn, after a shoddy night of sleep. My iPhone alarm and its ever-strong siren song blare as it shakes me from my slumber. At this point, I'll do anything to turn that wretched sound off as quickly

After Apple presumably unveils the iPhone 17 at next week's Awe-Dropping Apple event on Sept. 9, the familiar waiting game begins: a few days until preorders open, followed by what can feel like an endless slog before the new phones finally arrive. But when exactly? We don't know everything yet. Despite months of leaks, Apple still holds onto the key details, such as shipping dates, until the official announcement. Once the rumored iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, Pro and Pro Max are actually revealed

The Apple iPhone 17 'Awe dropping' event happens next week: Here's what to expect on September 9

We're now less than week away from the Apple's September 9 event, where the company is all but certain to unveil the iPhone 17 line. This year's theme of "Awe dropping," which was featured in Apple's invitations to the media sent on August 26 doesn't reveal much by way of clues, though some think the heat-mapped Apple logo is indicative of better thermal cooling in the new models. But more importantly, we already know how to watch the Apple iPhone 17 event itself: The keynote will be livestreame

3 Sports Documentaries You Absolutely Should Watch Right Now

There was a time in 2012 when NBA fans from all over were stricken with Linsanity. Jeremy Lin was a benchwarmer for the New York Knicks for much of that season, until he helped the team lock down a seven-game winning streak when he replaced a sidelined Carmelo Anthony in February of that year. Lin's popularity exploded, and though he was traded in the following offseason, his dazzling performance cemented a lasting legacy. Lin left the NBA in 2019 to play internationally, and he just announced

This Pixel 9 Pro Is So Clean, It Feels Like the iPhone of Androids

CNET's key takeaways After months of using Google's Pixel 9 Pro, I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. While Android users swear by them, a lot of other people consider Android phones to feel overly complex. The user interface isn't quite as easy to adjust as Apple's offering. And while it may sound unreasonable, Samsung's Galaxy S25 range, for example, has deep menu settings that let you tweak nearly every as

Huawei Releases Its Second Trifold Phone Weeks Ahead of Samsung's Expected Launch

Huawei's second-generation trifold phone, the Mate XTs, is now available, just shy of a year after the company's first trifold phone was released in September 2024. The trifold phone isn't much different from the Mate XT, but two big upgrades take the spotlight. The Mate XTs let you use a stylus on the phone's folding screen and comes in purple, red, black or white. It runs on HarmonyOS 5.1, which Huawei calls a "PC-level" experience, and has a new M-Pen 3 stylus. "In the free multiwindow mode

Honda teases its first full-size e-motorcycle with fast charging

Here's How Much the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max Will Reportedly Cost After Price Hike

Less than a week before Apple officially unveils all the details on its iPhone 17 lineup, the rumor mill is buzzing with estimates of what each of the four predicted model types will cost. For those who are anticipating purchasing an iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max, there may be an increase in price over last year's model. Citing a report from Trendforce, the website Macrumors reports that the base iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models will cost $1,199, $200 more than the iPhone 16 Pro, but will include tw

Honda combines Type-R handling with hybrid efficiency for 2026 Prelude

At the end of last year, we learned that Honda was bringing back the Prelude. Although Honda has varied the ingredients over the years, the recipe for the Prelude remains the same: a sleek coupe body and some cutting-edge technology under the skin, like four-wheel steering, as rhapsodized by the verbose but usually insightful motoring writer LJK Setright. Today, the new car broke cover ahead of its arrival in showrooms later this fall. It's a handsome shape, though I can't quite get over the re

‘The Black Phone 2’ Trailer Sees Ethan Hawke Call Collect Supernatural Vengeance

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse just released a new trailer for the sequel to Ethan Hawke’s terrifying horror film, Black Phone 2. The short story that the original movie is based on, written by Joe Hill (son of Stephen King), follows a masked serial killer who abducts children, locks them in his basement, and torments them.

The Galaxy S25 FE is finally here, and there’s good and bad news

TL;DR Samsung has launched the Galaxy S25 FE smartphone. The phone has larger battery and faster charging than the S24 FE, but retains most other features. The Galaxy S25 FE starts at $649 and goes on sale today. We were expecting a new member of the Galaxy S25 series to be revealed today. Now, Samsung has made it official and finally pulled the curtain back on the Galaxy S25 FE. Those hoping for a giant leap forward in most areas might be disappointed, but the new phone still brings a few k

Hands-on: Kuxiu’s new X40 Turbo brings Qi2.2 fast 25W charging to your iPhone

Wireless charging and iPhones have had an interesting relationship. While Android phones had wireless charging extremely early, it took Apple years to adopt the regular Qi wireless charging with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus back in 2017. Back then, it only charged at 7.5W, and it was not very efficient. Then Magsafe and the Qi2 standard recently came around and allowed iPhones to charge at 15W. But now we are getting Qi2.2, which is faster, cooler, and more efficient, and Kuxiu is the first to bring

TCL's new smartphone uses the latest version of its eye-comfort screen tech

TCL is showcasing a new phone at IFA 2025. A late entrant to the modern mobile market, the company tries to differentiate its devices with NXTPAPER eye-comfort screen tech. The new NXTPAPER 60 Ultra is TCL's first phone to feature the latest version of that technology, which it first introduced in a tablet at CES 2025. The idea behind NXTPAPER is to strike a balance between e-paper and OLED screens, alleviating eye strain without sacrificing color range or refresh rates. Its hardware-level feat

TCL’s New Phone Is What You Want if You Stare Too Long at Screens

TCL, the company whose bread and butter is putting giant TVs in living rooms for relatively cheap, seems to understand many of us are tired of looking at screens. The company’s new phone promises to offer all the peak features mobile buyers expect with a display that can become an e-reader with the flip of a switch. And before you ask—no, sorry—you can’t buy it in the U.S. Announced at IFA 2025, the NXTPaper 60 Ultra is the sequel to last year’s budget 50 NXTPaper phone. The phone’s main raison

No, Your iPhone Isn't Listening to You. Here's What's Really Happening

The bartender's first hoot is so clean and high-pitched it sounds piped in from the ceiling speakers — a single whooo that slices through the post-punk and clinking glassware. My friend Michael jolts on his barstool, beer sloshing dangerously close to the rim. "Did you hear that owl?" he whispers. "Not an owl," I say, matter-of-factly, wiping condensation from my glass before it drips onto the bar. The bartender, in his mid-30s with slicked-back hair and an immaculate black apron, lets out ano
