For the first time, there is a concrete indication of the planned availability of the Vivo X100 Pro successor in Europe, and a leaker recently again commented on an aspect of the Zeiss camera, which will probably inherit an important feature from the Vivo X100 Ultra in 2025.

Who remembers the Mi 8 or Mi 9 with its transparent Explorer Edition? According to a recent hint, a partially transparent version of the Xiaomi 15 or Xiaomi 15 Pro may make a comeback at the end of 2024, for which there is already a render image.

Will we soon get an even smaller and lighter HoverAir-like mini drone from DJI? It looks like it, as a video leak and a certification suggest: the FCC has confirmed a new flying object called DJ Neo. A drone expert provides the first potential specs.

At its imaging festival in China, Vivo made initial promises about the camera system of the Vivo X200 series, which will be unveiled in 2024 and is also expected in Europe in the form of the Vivo X200 Pro. Anyone who currently has a Vivo X100 Pro or Vivo X90 Pro should soon benefit from a new feature of the Vivo X100 Ultra.

New information about the new Pixel 9 generation has once again emerged, namely about the availability and pre-order status of the four new Google phones and the Pixel Buds Pro 2, two of which will only appear in stores weeks after the launch. This information has been supplemented by a number of new official render images, which a leaker has posted online without any watermarks.

It's only logical: As the Xiaomi 15 Pro is expected to inherit the 5x telephoto of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra this year according to leaks, we can expect an even better zoom solution for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra at the beginning of 2025. In fact, Xiaomi is likely to be planning the most far-reaching optical telephoto in smartphones to date.

In the past, Samsung's cheaper fan editions were often not recommended, but a Galaxy S24 FE has now been announced for October 2024, which may well live up to its name if the price is correspondingly attractive. Official images, lots of marketing material and new specs have now been leaked in advance.

Some news from a proven leaker from China is spreading like wildfire. In a Xiaomi 15 Ultra test device, major changes to the camera module of the next flagship Leica camera not only suggest a larger telephoto with a 200 MP sensor, but also new features for the main camera.

The European made Geo was originally supposed to weigh just 11 kilograms (24 pounds) in total, but came in at around 16 kg (35 pounds) when it was finally delivered to early Kickstarter backers in August of 2024. It's not just the award-winning folding design of this new e-bike from Spanish manufacturer Ossby that stands out amongst its peers of electric folding bikes but also the unusual features and the proposed sustainability of this lightweight city bike in 2024. Unfortunately, the promised aluminum-equivalent strength of the "composite frame" made from recycled materials disappoints - at least in my case. A way too short report of my personal experience with the Ossby Geo.

Some buyers of the Galaxy Z Fold6, which is not exactly cheap at around $1700, have expressed their displeasure on social networks at the quality of the coating, which appears to be peeling off in places after just a few weeks. Samsung has addressed this problem in the form of a help page, but blames the use of third-party products.
