After launching the Phone (2a) series, Nothing now seems to be gearing up to introduce the CMF Phone 2 under its budget-focused sub-brand. The company has dropped a teaser for the upcoming CMF smartphone, and a dedicated microsite is also live on Flipkart.
The teaser carries the tagline “In search of the perfect shot” and reveals a glimpse of the device, showing a camera module that appears to house a single rear camera. That seems unlikely, though, considering the CMF Phone 1 has two rear cameras—even if one was just a 2MP sensor.
Last week, Nothing teased four Pokémon on its social media channels and community page. Among them, Bulbasaur is likely the codename for the CMF Phone 2. Whereas, the other three Pokemons might be a hint that Nothing might launch new accessories under the CMF brand alongside the phone. And this could include a smartwatch, TWS earbuds, and possibly a pair of neckband earphones.
Speaking of audio gear, the CMF Buds 2 Plus has recently appeared in the FCC database with a new Smart Dial feature. The buds weigh 105 grams in total, with the charging case packing a 460mAh battery and each earbud housing a 53mAh cell.
As for the CMF Phone 2, there’s no word yet on what the device could bring to the table. But if Nothing sticks to its playbook, we can expect it to retain the modular design introduced in its predecessor.
The CMF Phone 1’s biggest standout feature was its customizable back cover, secured that allows users to attach a lanyard and other accessories. We hope Nothing retains this unique design in its successor and perhaps makes it more modular. For example, by offering a removable battery.
Now that the first teaser is out, Nothing will likely reveal more details soon. The launch could take place later this month or early next month.

The upcoming Galaxy M56 is shaping up to be a downgrade in terms of performance, swapping the expected Exynos 1580—found in the Galaxy A56—for the older Exynos 1480. Typically, the M series phones mirror their A series counterparts with similar or equal processing power, trimming costs elsewhere. This time, though, the M56’s downgrade has Galaxy fans scratching their heads.
Samsung Galaxy M55
Alleged Galaxy M56 surfaces on Geekbench with Galaxy A55’s Exynos 1480
The Galaxy M56 has been spotted on Geekbench’s database under model number SM-M566B. As per the listing, the phone is powered by the Exynos 1480, a 4nm chip that debuted in last year’s Galaxy A55. This chip includes four Cortex-A78 and four Cortex-A55 CPU cores plus an Xclipse 530 GPU, which is paired with 8GB RAM and Android 15 for the upcoming M series model.
Compare that to the A56’s Exynos 1580—boasting four Cortex-A720 and four Cortex-A520 cores with an Xclipse 540 GPU—or even the M55’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 (Cortex-A710, A510, Adreno 644), and it’s a clear step back. The M55 brought performance and charging boosts last year, but the M56’s chip selection feels like a retreat. Samsung’s M series thrives on budget appeal, yet this move risks alienating upgraders expecting more grunt. The Exynos 1480 trails the 1580’s modern CPU cores and more capable GPU, and even lags the M55’s Snapdragon in certain aspects like sustained gaming performance and power efficiency.
However, it’s also worth noting that the A55’s Exynos 1480 outshone the Snapdragon-powered M55 in real-life use cases, hinting that the M56 might still feel snappier than its predecessor. Samsung’s challenge now is convincing buyers this isn’t a downgrade worth skipping. Will software enhancements and strategic pricing save the model? Remains to be seen. It will largely depend on the combination of software optimization, pricing, and clever marketing. We’ll see when it lands, but for now, it’s surely a puzzling pivot from the M series norm.

The AI Wash system utilizes sensors to detect fabric type, load size, and soil levels and automatically adjusts detergent, water, and cycle intensity for optimal cleaning. For delicate fabrics, it reportedly reduces wear and tear by up to 25% by selecting gentler wash settings.
Beyond AI, Samsung has incorporated its “Ecobubble technology”, which uses BubbleStorm and Dual Storm systems for deeper cleaning. BubbleStorm dissolves detergent into a foam for better fabric penetration, while Dual Storm’s pulsator system ensures thorough mixing of water, detergent, and clothes.
Availability and pricing:
While Samsung has not yet disclosed the pricing, this Bespoke AI Top Load Washer is expected to hit the market soon. It will offer a blend of smart connectivity, energy efficiency, and improved cleaning performance. This launch also reflects Samsung’s AI-focused approach to innovation in home appliances.
When Apple releases a new iPhone, it’s not just the hardware that gets attention. The accompanying wallpapers often carry subtle design choices that reflect the device’s features. And that’s true with the iPhone 16 lineup as well.
The wallpapers on the new iPhones embed nuanced details that align with each model’s camera system. Take the latest iPhone 16e, for example. It has a single rear camera, and fittingly, its wallpaper features one prominent circle.
The standard iPhone 16s which houses two vertically aligned cameras has a wallpaper with (you guessed it) two stacked circles. And for the iPhone 16 Pro series with triple camera on the back, Apple went with three overlapping circles.
It’s a small but thoughtful touch. The wallpapers subtly mirror the physical attributes of each device. Apple has a long history of sweating the details, and this is just another example of how even something as simple as wallpaper can tie into the broader design language of the iPhone.
That said, here are the official wallpapers of the iPhone 16 series for you to download.
Apple uses the same wallpaper for both the white and black iPhone 16e models. You can also find custom color variations designed independently from Apple. For now, here’s the link to download the official one in high resolution.
2. iPhone 16 / Plus wallpapers
The wallpapers for the vanilla and Plus models are available in five different colors: Ultramarine, Teal, Pink, White, and Black. You can download them here.
3. iPhone 16 Pro / Pro Max wallpapers
Last but not least, the iPhone 16 Pro’s wallpapers are available in blue, yellow, orange, and green.
Sony’s upcoming flagship, the Xperia 1 VII, has surfaced in detailed 5K CAD renders and a 360-degree video via XpertPick and tipster OnLeaks, offering the first comprehensive look at the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered device ahead of its expected May launch.
The design isn’t a huge change. It still has a 6.5-inch screen with thicker bezels on the top and bottom. The top bezel has a 12MP selfie camera. It’s a bit wider and thicker than the last model, measuring 161.9 x 74.5 x 8.5mm, or 11mm at the camera bump. The power button with a fingerprint sensor, volume buttons, and a camera shutter button are all on the right side. The left side is plain. It keeps the 3.5mm headphone jack, which is rare these days, and a microphone on the top.
It has dual front speakers for good sound. The bottom has a SIM/microSD slot, a USB-C port, and another microphone. The back has a vertical camera setup: a 48MP main camera with image stabilization, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 12MP periscope telephoto lens that can zoom from 70 to 200mm. It was previously rumored that all three cameras could feature Sony’s flagship Exmor T sensors, however, that does not appear to be the case as per this report. There are also some extra cutouts, which could be for laser autofocus or more microphones.
As for specifications, the phone is rumored to have the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, 256GB or 512GB of storage, and a 5,000mAh or bigger battery with 30W charging. The display is said to return to a 4K resolution OLED after the brand opted for a 1080 x 2340 pixel OLED in the Xperia 1 VI as a cost-cutting measure. The aspect ratio will remain 19.5:9, and the screen will offer a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. It will run on Android 15. The phone is said to start at $1,399, which is pretty pricey. However, these details are based on early speculation, so it’s best to take them with a grain of salt until more concrete leaks emerge closer to the official release.

According to the publication, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will be powered by the Exynos 2400e chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM. Samsung previously used this chip in the Galaxy S24 FE. This information pertains to the European variant, which carries the SM-F761B model number. It remains unclear whether the US version will feature the same processor or a different one.
For optics, the Z Flip 7 FE is said to feature a 12-megapixel main camera alongside a 10-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. On the front, it will sport a 10-megapixel selfie camera—the same camera setup found on the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which debuted in 2023.
While other details remain under wraps, the report speculates that the Z Flip 7 FE could be a rebranded version of the Z Flip 5, upgraded with a newer chipset. It is yet to be confirmed whether the device will retain the 3,700mAh battery found in the Flip 5.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is expected to be a more affordable alternative to the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which is likely to start at $1,099. The FE model could be priced around $700 in the US.

Samsung has already mastered book-style and clamshell designs and is currently working on several foldable and rollable concepts. Now, a new patent reveals the company’s wildest idea yet: a quad-fold device with three hinges and four panels, pushing the boundaries of foldable tech.
Samsung quad-foldable phone concept
The patent is titled “ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING BENDABLE DISPLAY
This patent showcases a device with four horizontal panels linked by three hinges, all under a single foldable screen. Accompanying drawings hint at a quad-fold smartphone—Samsung’s boldest concept to date. It’s early days, though; this could be a rough draft, subject to tweaks, or even a strategic patent grab to lock down the idea for a future when the technology and market demand align.
The filing also details a tri-fold phone—it includes three panels, two hinges, with a USB-C port and triple-camera setup. It looks polished and is possibly tied to the dual-hinge tease from Galaxy Unpacked 2025. While this tri-fold feels closer to reality, the quad-fold’s ambition steals the spotlight.
Samsung’s foldable journey started over six years ago, and this patent cements its lead over rivals like Apple, which has yet to enter the foldable space. The South Korean giant’s relentless innovation on the foldable form factor—from the original Galaxy Z Fold to this quad-fold concept—keeps it ahead of its competition.
Nonetheless, it’s worth mentioning that neither the tri-fold nor the quad-fold device have a confirmed launch date, and the latter one might stay a concept for a couple of years before it sees the light of day. But two different variants of the tri-fold were recently been spotted on the GSMA database with model number SM-F9680 (likely Chinese version) and SM-F968N (possibly the South Korean variant), suggesting the availability will be limited to these two countries.
Recently, Realme confirmed that it will launch the Realme GT 7 phone, equipped with the all-new Dimensity 9400+, this month in China. Today, Realme Vice President, Global Marketing President, and China Region President Xu Qi Chase released a Weibo post to share insights about the GT 7. At the same time, tipster Digital Chat Station published a Weibo post revealing the key specs of the device.
According to Xu Qi Chase, Realme’s internal research highlighted how many users compromise on gaming visuals to conserve battery life, which he sees as an industry-wide issue. He strongly believes that flagship devices should not force users to choose between performance and endurance.
He added that Realme has tackled this challenge on the Realme GT 7 by integrating the Dimensity 9400+ processor with a 7,000mAh+ battery and 100W fast charging, ensuring users get both raw power and extended battery life. The GT 7 is designed to eliminate battery anxiety, allowing users to enjoy their games and daily tasks without restrictions.
