Say hello to the Honor X7b, the company's just announced smartphone that costs $249, but offers a solid punch and perhaps the best battery life around
Let's first look inside the box. The X7b ships with an Honor SuperCharge adapter that maxes out at 35W, a case, and a USB cable. A pretty solid set and much better than some far more expensive phones offer.
Unboxing the Honor X7b
We have the Midnight Black model despite the promising-looking Flowing Silver pictured on the retail box.

A fairly reputable leakster has dropped some alleged specs for Google's new "a-series" device, and if true, it might just be the best one to come out in years. There is at least one big surprise in there that we frankly didn't expect – the chipset. When Google dropped the Pixel 10a in March 2026, one of the biggest complaints most prospective buyers had was the chipset. Google decided to... Read more ›

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 is coming; we know that much for sure. In fact, it could arrive sooner rather than later, with many rumors speculating an August 2026 release timeframe.

Also, unlike the Xiaomi 18 family, the Mix Fold 5 does not... Read more ›
