Motorola's next budget-friendly phone shows its slim chassis in leaked renders
Motorola has different series of phones that cater to different budgets. The Moto G series has been specially designed to serve customers who can't afford mid-range and high-end phones or simply don't want to spend more on an Android smartphone.
Two new Moto G series phones are likely to be announced very soon, the Moto G56 and Moto G86. Today, we're going to talk about the former, which will be launched as one of the cheapest members of the family. More than dozen pictures of the Moto G56 have just been leaked, confirming the phone will be available in four different colors. We also get the chance to admire the phone's slim silhouette one more time before Motorola finally makes it official.

Also, rumor has it that the Moto G56 will come in three storage options: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. Some of these versions will pack 4GB or 8GB RAM, depending on the model.

In comparison, the Moto G55 has a much smaller 6.49-inch FHD+ display with 120 Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.Another upgrade over the Moto G55 is the battery. The upcoming Moto G56 is said to pack a 5,200 mAh battery with 33W wired charging support, as opposed to Moto G55's 5,000 mAh battery that features 30W wired charging support.

There's also a 32-megapixel front-facing camera, a considerable upgrade over the Moto G55's 16-megapixel selfie snapper.
As far as the price goes, there are no details about that yet, but Motorola is likely to make it available for the same sum as Moto G55, which means the Moto G56 could cost around €160 / $160.

iPhone 17 to be an underwhelming upgrade
Vlad, 31 May 2025 A few hours ago a rumor claimed the iPhone 17 would grow its screen size to 6.3" (from 6.1" in the iPhone 16), matching the Pro model. With this rather significant upgrade in tow, you may have expected the phone to come with other substantial upgrades in other areas as well. But apparently not. According to a new research note by GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu, the iPhone 17 will be powered by the A18 chip, and will have 8GB of RAM. Those are not typos - that's the exact same chipset and RAM amount that its predecessor has. iPhone 16 So, in this regard, the iPhone 17 will just be an ever so slightly larger iPhone 16. This is despite the fact that all three other members of its family will get the A19 chip as well as 12GB of RAM. The iPhone 17 was at one point said to be considered for a memory upgrade, but that was apparently decided against after all. As for the chip staying the same as in the iPhone 16, that's a more baffling decision that clearly won't make it a best-seller. But maybe that's the point - Apple trying to nudge people towards the more expensive and more profitable Air, Pro, and Pro Max models.

Everyone wants TSMC to build their 3nm chips as Samsung Foundry has trouble finding customers
Let's say you work for a major device manufacturer that is a fabless chip designer. In other words, while you design your own chips, you lack the facilities to produce them which explains the fabless label (Fab is short for a semiconductor fabrication facility). Suppose part of your job is to decide which foundry is going to build your chips. Right now, if you need advanced semiconductors, you have only two possibilities, TSMC and Samsung Foundry. But if you need your chips built using the most advanced process node of 3nm, there is no choice. TSMC is the foundry of choice. You might have to pay more and hope that there isn't a capacity issue that forces your order to be put on allocation by the foundry. However, if reliability is an issue, which it usually is, you want the foundry churning out 3nm chips with a 90% yield rather than the one with a 50% yield at that node which is Samsung Foundry. Big tech firms that count themselves as TSMC customers include Apple, MediaTek, Nvidia, and Qualcomm. The latter had decided to have Samsung Foundry produce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 during 2021-2022. However, the foundry reportedly had an extremely low 35% yield and Qualcomm pulled its business from Samsung Foundry. Instead, it reworked the chipset and had it built by TSMC as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+. Since then, Qualcomm has relied on TSMC exclusively to manufacture its flagship Snapdragon 8 SoCs. The extreme ultraviolet lithography machine helped to take chip production under 5nm. | Image credit-ASML While TSMC is clearly the most reliable in-demand foundry, Samsung Foundry is a distant second. Coming up fast behind Samsung is China's SMIC which happens to be the third-largest foundry in the world. Due to U.S. and Dutch sanctions, SMIC is not allowed to purchase an extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machine used to transfer circuitry patterns onto silicon wafers using lines thinner than human hair. EUV machines allow for the placement of billions of transistors inside these semiconductors. SMIC reportedly is using older Deep Ultraviolet Lithography (DUV) machines, purchased before sanctions hit, to build Huawei's new 5nm Kirin X90 chip used to power the Mate Book Pro laptop. The foundry also uses multiple impressions in an attempt to make up for the lack of an EUV machine. However, this results in lower costs and higher prices for such chips. Still, SMIC is ready to make 5nm and 7nm chips for the Chinese automotive manufacturing sector which would be another blow to Samsung Foundry which has been doing brisk business making such chips for these Chinese-based firms. With 2nm chips coming to smartphones next year, including the iPhone 17 line, TSMC will remain on top and possibly stay there well beyond 2026.

vivo X200 FE and X Fold5 launch date leaks
According to a new rumor out of India, both the vivo X200 FE and the X Fold5 will launch on the same day: July 10. This strongly implies that they will both be the stars at the same launch event. The X200 FE has been rumored to sport a 6.31-inch flat OLED screen with "1.5K" resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, an under-display fingerprint sensor, the Dimensity 9300+ or Dimensity 9400e chipset at the helm, a 50 MP main camera using Sony's IMX921 sensor, a 50 MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and Sony's IMX882, and an 8 MP ultrawide. vivo X Fold3 Pro Selfies will be taken care of by a 50 MP camera, and the phone will be available in 12/256GB and 16/512GB trims. It will be IP68 and IP69 certified for dust and water resistance, and will get a 6,500 mAh battery with support for 90W wired charging. It should weigh approximately 200g. The X Fold5, on the other hand, will allegedly come with an 8.03-inch foldable AMOLED screen with "2K+" resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, a 6.53-inch LTPO OLED cover screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 6,000 mAh battery with 90W wired and 30W wireless charging support. It will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It will have a 50 MP main camera with the same IMX921 sensor as the X200 FE, a 50 MP ultrawide with autofocus, and a 50 MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom and (you guessed it) the IMX882 sensor. For selfies the device will have two 32 MP shooters. There will also be a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a three-stage Alert Slider-like button, there will be an IP rating too. The X Fold5 will be 4.3mm thick when unfolded and 9.33mm thick when folded. Source
