Qualcomm hinted that one of its new 64-bit processors would hit an Android device in late 2014 or early 2015, but it didn’t say which lucky manufacturers would use them. In early August, well-known leaker @upleaks posted a series of tweets, hinting that HTC will soon release a mid-range smartphone with one of Qualcomm’s 64-bit processors under the hood.

The device, code-named the HTC A11, supposedly features the 64-bit Snapdragon410 MSM8916 processor, which clocks in at 1.4GHz. It’s expected to be a variant of the existing Desire lineup and comes with other modest specs: a 4.7-inch display with a super low resolution of 854 x 480 pixels, ordinary speakers without Boom Sound, and low-res cameras. The back camera will only be a 5-megapixel shooter and the front-facing camera will only be 0.3-megapixels.

The A11 also looks more low end, with a shiny plastic back and rather plain design. It stands in obvious contrast to the high-end HTC One M8, which has a metal back and premium look to it. 

The A11 will supposedly run Android 4.4.2 with HTC’s Sense 6 interface layered on top. The tipster hinted that HTC may release the A11 at Sprint, where it will undoubtedly come at a low price to match the modest specs. It’s unclear when the new Desire smartphone will launch and if it will arrive in other markets.

This new Android phone almost beat my favorite smartphone camera of 2024
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Oppo Find X8 Pro's cameras.

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is my favorite camera phone of 2024, but the arrival of the Oppo Find X8 Pro impressed me enough during my first few days with it that I wondered if I’d chosen my winner for the year a little too early.

There was only one way to find out, and that was through a good old-fashioned camera shootout. I love doing them, especially when both cameras are this good.

Apple insider leaks future plans for a significant iPhone spec change

Apple has long followed a strategy of consolidating the hardware supply chain within its own circle. Shifting away from Intel to in-house M-series processors was one of the biggest bets in recent memory. Now, the company is eyeing the same strategy for a critical part that allows iPhones to, well, act like phones.

According to Apple tipster Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, Apple will finally put its own cellular modem inside iPhones and iPads starting next year. The plans will be executed over three years, spanning three generations of modems, as part of a plan to end Apple’s reliance on Qualcomm for the part.
