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 August 14th to August 20th, we saw a couple of leaks about the Pixel 6, Galaxy S22 and OnePlus 9RT.
Below are all the major smartphone leaks from August 14th to August 20th:
Google’s Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are rumoured to support faster-wired charging.
According to 91Mobiles and the tech reviewer and leaker Yogesh Brar, the upcoming Pixel devices will support 33W charging, which is almost double the smartphones’ current charging speed. Currently, Google’s Pixel devices only offer up to 18W wired charging.

Google’s Pixel 5a (it isn’t launching in Canada) will be the company’s last device to launch with an in-box charging brick. This means the next Canadian Pixel device, likely the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, won’t offer an in-box charger.
Google says that people already have a USB-C charging brick so adding it in the box is unnecessary.
