Sony stops selling the Xperia 1 VII to fix some issues
Sony unveiled the Xperia 1 VII, its latest flagship smartphone, in May, and it's already been available in Japan for a while now. However, today the company has announced that it's temporarily suspending shipments and sales of the device in its home market.
This is due to many reports of Xperia 1 VII units turning off by themselves, randomly rebooting, and even not turning on. Obviously, any one of those three is a huge problem individually, but apparently all of them are currently happening in the wild.
To those who have an Xperia 1 VII that won't turn on, Sony suggests holding both the power button and volume up button for about 20 seconds to recover it, and then applying the latest software update. If that doesn't help, then Sony is advising people to contact its support staff. Sony Xperia 1 VII 5G 256GB 12GB RAM £ 1,399.00
Detailed instructions for the software update procedure are provided at the Source linked below. Interestingly, while Sony implies that the latest update will fix the issues, it also, in the same page, says that it's still investigating what's causing them. So maybe the software update is more of a precautionary thing, and not an actual solution. We'll let you know how this situation develops.
Thanks for the tip, Josip!

Here's how much Nothing's CMF Watch Pro 3 is rumored to cost
Nothing's more affordable sub-brand CMF is apparently readying a new smartwatch. This will be called CMF Watch Pro 3 and will obviously be the successor to the CMF Watch Pro 2, which made its debut last year. The CMF Watch Pro 3 is rumored to cost €99 in the Eurozone, as you can see in the screenshot below. The device will be offered in Dark Gray. This leaked price represents a €30 increase compared to the CMF Watch Pro 2, which isn't much in absolute terms, but percentage-wise, that's a 44% hike, so we're hoping this upcoming CMF Watch will also have some impressive hardware and software improvements to make up for it. The CMF Watch Pro 3 still doesn't have even a rumored release date, but it is said to be coming soon. We'll let you know when we find out more about it. Source

Among them was a mention of the Dynamic Island, which, according to a machine translation, may feature a brand-new UI. Do you think the Dynamic Island should be smaller?

That's far from the first time we've heard about such changes on theseries, first heard of a smaller Dynamic Island late last year. Initially, rumor had it that the changes would only apply to the iPhone 17 Pro Max . However, in January, that rumor was debunked by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who claimed the size of the Dynamic Island would remain largely unchanged across Apple's 2025 to February of this year, and Digital Chat Station was insisting on a smaller Dynamic Island for the. The leaker then claimed Apple may use metalens technology for the Face ID system to shrink the size of the display's opening.

Realme 15 Pro render leaks
Realme started teasing the 15 and 15 Pro at the end of June, and today a purported render depicting the latter has been leaked. Interestingly, it kind of looks more similar to the Realme 14 than the 14 Pro it's replacing, which had a circular camera island. Speaking of which, the 14 Pro arrived back in January and the 14 joined it in March. So it's intriguing to see Realme already teasing their successors, after such a short time. Of course, the launch of the 15 and 15 Pro is probably still a few weeks out at least. The source of today's render says this colorway could be called Flowing Silver. Additionally, the 15 Pro is rumored to come in Velvet Green and Silk Purple. The Realme 15 Pro will have a 50 MP main camera, and allegedly, the Pro model should be getting all of the 'premium' features so far reserved for the Pro+. Does this mean there won't be a Realme 15 Pro+? It's unclear, but we wouldn't be surprised. As you can see from the render, the screen has very slim bezels and a centered hole-punch for the selfie camera. On the back there seems to be a semi-transparent design. Realme has already confirmed that both the 15 and the 15 Pro will be powered by Snapdragon chipsets, and will have AI Edit Genie on board, that will let you edit photos with voice commands. According to a previous leak, the Realme 15 Pro will come in four RAM/storage versions: 8/128GB, 8/256GB, 12/256GB, and 12/512GB. Realme 14 Realme 14 Pro Source
