This week we heard Xiaomi will change the name of its Android OS from MIUI to MiOS but it’s unclear what other changes will come with the rebranding.
The OnePlus Open once again leaked in detailed renders and this time we also get pricing information – $1,699. That would likely mean north of €1,700 for European users. The company’s inaugural foldable will have a triple camera in a sizeable island on the back with a 48MP main camera, a 48MP ultrawide, and a 64MP 3x zoom camera. There’s a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of storage, a 6.31-inch outer screen, and a 7.8-inch flexible main screen sourced from BOE.
We saw a few noteworthy benchmark leaks this week. Notably, the upcoming Exynos 2400 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, respectively tested on a Galaxy S24 and a Galaxy S24 Ultra. Reports suggest that the Ultra will have a Snapdragon exclusively, while the S24 and S24+ will have an Exynos 2400.
Sony unveiled a new version of the PlayStation 5. The new PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition models are smaller in every dimension. Sony claims the new 2023 models have been reduced in volume by 30%, and in weight by 18% and 24% compared to the previous models. Since there have been a few minor revisions over the years due to reduced heat sink sizes, here is a chart to illustrate all the changes so far.
