Apparently Asus will not be launching any new smartphones this year. This allegedly comes straight from the company itself, which also promises that... Read more ›

Some flagships launched in 2025 were considerably more expensive than their predecessors, and the story won't be different with the phones launching this year, either, due to rising component costs, among other factors. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 series was also expected to get a price hike, but if the latest rumor coming out of South Korea is to be believed, that won't be the case. A South Korean publication... Read more ›

Ahead of CES, today Samsung has unveiled the Freestyle+ projector, which is portable. It comes with a peak brightness of 430 ISO lumens, which isn't much - basically fine for a dark room but won't let you see a lot if there's ambient lighting around. That said, it is almost twice as bright as Samsung's previous generation, so there's that. The Freestyle+ has a 180-degree rotating design which supports projection... Read more ›

Motorola is launching two high-end smartphones in the near future: the X70 Air Pro in China, and the Signature globally. They are both powered by the recently announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC, so forgive us for assuming they might actually end up being the same device sold under two different names in different markets (just like the X70 Air is the Edge 70). Today the X70 Air Pro has... Read more ›

That's because the Nord 6 has already been certified for sale by SIRIM in Malaysia, the GCF, and TDRA in the UAE. These certifications are a normal step in the development process, but usually occur within a few weeks, or a... Read more ›
