Images, renders and videos of upcoming smartphones are continually leaking.
All of these leaks are often difficult to follow, so we’ve compiled a list of this past week’s hottest rumours. This week, we’re taking a look at smartphone leaks that occurred from to May 9th to 15th.
Samsung
The Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 is predicted to launch in black and brown colour variants. This rumour doesn’t mean the phone won’t be available in other colour versions, but brown and black were the first to leak.

Samsung is also rumoured to launch the Galaxy Fold Lite 4G. The phone will reportedly sport a Snapdragon 865 processor, 256GB of storage, and come in ‘Mirror Black’ and ‘Mirror Purple’ colour variants. The handset is tipped to lack an ultra-thin glass screen and will be equipped with parts from 2020, 2019 and 2018.
The handset would cost $1,099 USD (roughly $1,549 CAD).

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is rumoured to feature a true variable refresh rate. This means it wouldn’t be fixed at 120Hz, 90Hz, and 60Hz rates like other Android phones. Instead, the variable refresh rate would be more customizable and hopefully improve power consumption.

The Google Pixel 4a is benchmarking pretty well in comparison to the Pixel 4 XL and 3 XL. Though the Pixel 4a benchmarks higher than the Pixel 3 depending on the benchmarking app, the Pixel 4 XL and 3 XL are better than the 4a, but not by too much.

The Google Pixel 4a’s wallpaper has leaked. The wallpapers are cute, but back up the previous leaks about the 4a’s notch placement and lack of ‘Motion Sense.’
