The Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro launched last March, and so their successors are probably only a few weeks away at this point. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro was first spotted in an IMEI listing all the way back in September, then a leak in December detailed both upcoming devices giving us some specs, and earlier this month Nothing confirmed a storage upgrade for at least one of the...

The iPhone Fold is expected to be launching later this year as Apple's first foldable smartphone. The most notable thing about it, at least from the leaks we've had so far, is its form factor, which means it's much wider when folded than most of its competitors, while unfolding straight into landscape mode. Thus, when unfolded, it has an aspect ratio that's more rectangular and less square than what other... Read more ›

[#InlinePriceWidget,13507,1#] An FAQ page for the G17, regarding inserting or removing a SIM card, is already live on Motorola's US... Read more ›

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is definitely the most hotly anticipated phone of the season, the Korean flagship topping our trending chart for a second week in a row long before even going official. Xiaomi's Redmi Note 15 Pro+ went on with its ascend and came in second this week, pushing the Galaxy A56 down to third.

Last week, the OnePlus 15R 512GB had a £100 discount, which made it cheaper than the 256GB version (since that one was at MSRP).

Last week, we looked at the OnePlus 15R – with a €100 discount only for the 512GB model, it was effectively a free storage upgrade type deal. Now there’s also an additional €20 discount at checkout – that’s not much, but the phone only just launched. The €20 discount is available on the 256GB variant too, but since that costs €700, it doesn’t make sense. OnePlus 15R €100 off +... Read more ›

A couple of weeks ago, Realme launched the 16 Pro and 16 Pro+. Right now, they are only available in India, which is a shame – these two have some impressive specs and though they are a bit pricey, they could have found success in other markets too. The Realme 16 Pro+ flaunts a 200MP main camera (1/1.56”, OIS) and a 50MP 3.5x periscope (1/2.76”, f/2.8, OIS), plus an 8MP... Read more ›

Smart glasses are all the rage these days, and while Xiaomi’s latest offering is not the smartest option out there, it does offer a premium design and some generally useful features.

Not so long ago, it looked like mini smartphones were all but dead – now they seem to be thriving with multiple makers launching models at several price points. Oppo launched one in the Reno15 series and it was the clear winner of last week’s poll. But how successful would it be outside of its Reno15 family? The Oppo Reno15 Pro, aka Reno15 Pro Mini in India, didn’t knock it... Read more ›
