Honor already released the first two phones of its Win series - the regular Win and the Win RT, both with active cooling fans and 10,000 mAh batteries. However, the Win Turbo that just launched today in China focuses more on utilizing that huge battery to the fullest. There's no cooling fan, and the chipset is less power-hungry. The Honor Win Turbo runs on the Dimensity 8500 chipset, which draws... Read more ›

Considering that pattern, we weren't expecting Samsung to launch a Classic smartwatch this year, but a new development... Read more ›

It took a while, but the Samsung Galaxy A57 is finally up on Amazon – and it kicks things off with a $60 discount. That’s a bit less than the A37 discount, but it’s enough to shift the balance of power between the two.
