Weekly poll: are you getting a Xiaomi 14T or 14T Pro?

Xiaomi juggles many product lines, but the T-series is special – it still carries some of that “flagship killer” spirit. This year the Xiaomi 14T series builds on the successful formula of the 13T phones from last year mostly with small but worthwhile upgrades. The new models upgrade to the next chipsets down the line. For the Xiaomi 14T Pro, this means that a Dimensity 9300+ replaces the 9200+, which... Read more

Is the Galaxy S26 getting canceled? Pixel 9a leaks: Week 40 in review

Samsung has seemingly finalized its Galaxy S25 lineup for January of 2025 - expect the usual Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. But come 2026, the phone maker may drop the smaller Galaxy S26. It won't be a precedent - the company just dropped the vanilla model in this year's Galaxy Tab S10 series, only releasing the Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra. OnePlus and Oppo devices are... Read more

Our vivo V40 Pro battery life test is ready

We have a vivo V40 Pro at the office and the review is almost ready. Not quite, though, but we can already share how the large 5,500mAh battery did in our tests. The phone is quite slender at 7.6mm, which makes that capacity particularly impressive for a Li-Ion power cell. According to vivo’s research, the V40 Pro (along with the V40) is the thinnest phone with a 5,500mAh battery. The... Read more

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ hands-on review

Samsung released just two flagship tablets this year - the nearly 15-inch Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and this 12.4-inch Galaxy Tab S10+. You no longer get an 11-inch option, which few people purchased anyway. The Galaxy Tab S10+ is much smaller and more portable than the Tab S10 Ultra. It's also cheaper, naturally, but doesn't compromise on display quality or processing power. You get the same 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X... Read more
