Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 benchmark performance tipped
Yesterday we got word of what to expect in terms of benchmark performance from Apple's upcoming A19 Pro chip, that will power the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, from the Weibo account Digital Chat Station, a prolific source of mobile-related information.
Today he's back with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 scores. Once again we're talking about Geekbench 6, and Qualcomm's next flagship SoC will allegedly achieve a single-core score over 4,000 and a multi-core score over 11,000.
For reference, note that the Snapdragon 8 Elite usually manages around 3,100 and 9,800, respectively (exact numbers obviously depend on device). The A19 Pro should go to 4,000 single-core score too, but it will be outdone by the Elite 2 in multi-core, only managing around 10,000.
Compared to its predecessor, the Elite 2 will improve the single-core score by about 20-30% and the multi-core score by about 10-15%. Not huge numbers, but nothing to scoff at either. The Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 will be announced in late September, while the A19 Pro will launch in the upcoming iPhones during the same month, most likely - and September is also when MediaTek is apparently unveiling its next flagship SoC, incidentally.

Samsung Galaxy F36 surfaces in the Google Play Console, here's what it looks like
Samsung is working on the Galaxy F36, and today it's been spotted in the Google Play Console. The listing brings with it the image you can see below, as well as a few specs. The F36 comes with a waterdrop notch screen, and an oval camera island housing three sensors, two of them in another oval of their own. The LED flash array is to the right. Overall it's a very Samsung-esque design, and the integration of all the cameras into one big island has become a staple for devices that aren't flagships. The phone's screen has 1080x2340 resolution and 450 ppi pixel density. The F36 is powered by Samsung's Exynos 1380 SoC, paired with 6GB of RAM. The device will launch running Android 15 with One UI 7 on top, even though Google has already finalized Android 16. Google Play Console listings strongly imply that the Galaxy F36 will be identical to the Galaxy M36, which was spotted in the Geekbench database in April rocking the same Exynos chipset. These are both likely to become official very soon, perhaps even by the end of the month. Via

A new retail leak hints at just how thin Samsung's Z Fold 7 might be
Samsung is getting ready to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and a new leak has given us an early preview of what to expect. A photo of what appears to be an official promotional stand has surfaced online, showing off the foldable's updated design in what could be its thinnest form yet. The image, shared by a Reddit user and originally posted on Korean forum DogDrip, shows a marketing display likely intended for retail stores or carrier shops. What stands out most is the Z Fold 7 's slimmer look, with a visibly smaller hinge and noticeably thinner frame compared to previous models. Although the stand is just a physical mock-up and not the device itself, it still gives us a better idea of how far Samsung may be pushing the foldable's design this year. According to recent reports, the Z Fold 7 could measure around 9mm when closed and just 4.5mm when opened. That would make it Samsung's slimmest Fold yet, and possibly more competitive with thinner foldables from companies like Oppo and Honor. Samsung has made some progress on design in past generations, but it has still trailed behind rivals when it comes to thickness. This year, the gap might finally close. This Galaxy Z Fold 7 promotional display shows off the phone's thin pofile . | Image credit — u/Such_Code_923 (Reddit) Reactions from fans have been mixed but mostly positive. Some are impressed with how sleek the foldable looks, especially the thinner bezels. Others have noted that the deep blue/purple color shown in the stand adds to the premium appearance. If the actual device looks similar, many believe it could be Samsung's most refined foldable yet. The promotional stand leak adds to what we've already heard about the Fold 7 in recent weeks. Earlier reports have mentioned a wider aspect ratio, support for Qi2 wireless charging, andnew AI-powered camera features. At the same time, pricing may stay close to what Samsung offered with the Fold 6, which could help it maintain market appeal. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to be officially announced at Samsung's summer Unpacked event, rumored to be happening in early July. Until then, we'll likely see more details continue to leak out. While it's too soon to say how it will compare in real-world use, this early look suggests Samsung is putting serious focus on design this year. Whether that will be enough to stand out in an increasingly crowded foldables market remains to be seen.

Poco F7 renders purportedly leak showing a very familiar device
The Poco F7 is coming soon to join the F7 Pro and F7 Ultra in the brand's roster, and today we have some purportedly leaked official renders showcasing the device in black. We do however have to mention the fact that it's unclear where these are coming from, so do take them with more than just a pinch of salt. It could very well be that they are the real deal, or someone just slightly edited the official images of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro and added the Poco logo. We say that because, if these are real, then the oft-rumored rebranding of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro into the Poco F7 is pretty much confirmed - save for some minor details around the camera bump, the two devices look absolutely identical. Poco F7 leaked renders So, with that in mind, don't be surprised at all if the Poco F7 ends up having a 6.83-inch 1280x2272 AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC at the helm, a 50 MP main camera with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide, a 20 MP selfie camera, and a 7,550 mAh battery with 90W fast charging. More Poco F7 leaked renders Interestingly, only the Indian version is said to be getting that battery capacity, with other markets having to make do with 6,550 mAh instead, with the same fast charging abilities baked in. The Poco F7 should go up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, where the Redmi went to 16GB and 1TB, respectively. Xiaomi Poco F7 Pro Xiaomi Poco F7 Ultra Via
