Images, renders and videos of upcoming smartphones continuously leak. All of these leaks can be difficult to follow, so we’ve compiled a list of the past week’s hottest rumours.
From May 15th to May 21st, we saw a couple of leaks about the upcoming Pixel 6 series.
First, off it’s all about Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro rumours again. This week we got two detailed looks at both devices from leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (@Onleaks), showing off the phones in separate leaks.
Kudos @jon_prosser who shared a rather good look at the #Pixel6Pro.
That being said, his depiction isn’t that flawless…
Thus, I’m back to provide a more accurate look at this device + display size + dimensions + 360° video, on behalf of @digitindia 👇🏻https://t.co/SjL80zE2Ys pic.twitter.com/vF2lVyJKBN

Starting with the Pixel 6 Pro, we can see that the device sports more of a boxy look, akin to the Samsung Galaxy Note series. Additionally, it offers a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a centred hole-punch camera and measures in at 163.9 x 75.8 x 8.9mm (11.5mm with the camera bump).
From these images, we can now tell that the handset sports a telephoto periscope camera, which is a first for Google, allowing it to compete with devices like the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Huawei’s P40 Pro.
Reportedly, the device will sport dual stereo speakers, wireless charging and feature a SIM slot on the side.
It’s worth mentioning that display analyst Ross Young noted last year that Google was working on a device with a 6.67-inch display. At that time, he believed that the phone would launch in 2020, but the Pixel 6 Pro could possibly be that unreleased device.

Next up is the Google Pixel 6, which also offers a boxy design, but with a 6.4-inch flat display, thin bezels and a hole-punch camera. The device reportedly measures in at 158.6mm x 74.8mm x 8.9mm (11.8mm including rear camera bump).
And, in addition to yesterday’s #Google #Pixel6Pro leak, here comes a more detailed look at the #Pixel6!

Further, the smartphone features bottom-firing stereo speakers and two cameras, unlike the three available in the Pro model.

Apple
This week a dubious rumour appeared regarding a ‘Rose Pink’ iPhone 13 Pro Max. While the device looks undeniably cool, it’s likely entirely fake and won’t ever actually exist.

Samsung
While this isn’t necessarily a leak, Samsung Display has revealed several upcoming panels that it’s working on.
There’s the new S-Foldable OLED display, which can either be part of an in-folding or out-folding device, and can be folded twice. When folded twice, the panel can be used as a smartphone’s screen, but when unfolded, it reaches a maximum, tablet-like size of 7.2-inches
Samsung also showed off a prototype of its Slideable OLED display, which allows a device to extend horizontally without requiring additional folds. Further, Samsung Display showed off a foldable 17-inch panel at the event.
Lastly, the South Korean tech giant unveiled an under-panel camera display that was shown off in a laptop. This allowed the laptop to offer an entirely edge-to-edge panel.
Rumours indicate that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will sport under-screen camera technology similar to the panel shown off by Samsung Display.
