Sony has scheduled a live event for tomorrow, May 19 at 4PM UTC, dedicated to its upcoming flagship WH-1000X headphones series. The previous generation WH-1000XM6 launched about a year ago, but this is not going to be a direct successor. Rumors so far indicate that the new headphones will actually be more premium, meaning they won't replace the XM6 but will exist alongside them. The reports claim a price tag... Read more ›

Introduction, unboxing Huawei's Watch Fit series is very popular because it combines a small form factor with a useful rectangular display, colorful bands, a strong suite of health and fitness tracking, and superb battery life for not a lot of money. Many people gravitate towards the series (and others like it) because they cover the majority of functionality of an Apple Watch or a Wear OS watch, but with far... Read more ›

WhatsApp has been testing the View-Once disappearing messages feature on its Android app since last month, and we now hear it is being tested on iOS as well. This revelation comes from the folks at WABetaInfo, who spotted this View-Once disappearing messages feature on beta version 26.19.10.72 of WhatsApp for iOS. This feature can be enabled via the "After reading" option in the Default message timer > Message timer menu.... Read more ›

Sony unveiled its Xperia 1 VIII flagship with a new design, but the old core specs and idea. There's a new 1/1.56-inch telephoto camera - a four times larger sensor with four times the resolution compared to what's in the Mark VII. The new 48MP tele is locked at 2.9x (70mm). The other two cameras are the same - 24mm f/1.9 and 16mm f/2.0. Add a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen... Read more ›

Passkeys are pretty great. The tech is solid, based on well-established, secure cryptographic principles, and the ease of use is through the roof compared to remembering traditional passwords. In case you are not in the know, the passkey paradigm has you generating a secure private key that you keep locally on your device and a corresponding public key that you give out to websites/services/apps you want to log into. Once... Read more ›

The Ray-Ban Display – Meta’s flagship smart wearable glasses – the ones with the display overlay and not to be confused with the seemingly more popular camera-only models- are getting quite a significant update. After months in a limited-access beta state within Messenger and WhatsApp, Neural Handwriting is finally available to all. It works on both iOS and Android and across Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and your phone’s message notifications to... Read more ›

Introduction Today, we've got the latest in an ever-growing lineup of Honor laptops. This is the Pro model for 2026, and as such, it's pretty cutting-edge, which isn't surprising coming from Honor. It was among the first makers to move to OLED, and it has always used innovative 3:2 screens with high refresh rates. The specs overview is pretty impressive, too. Upfront is a 14.6-inch 3120x2080px OLED touchscreen with a... Read more ›

This week’s deals feature a mix of familiar phones and a few new arrivals. At this point, it would be more surprising if Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series and Google’s Pixel 10 lineup weren’t on sale. We’ve also got a couple of Xiaomi phones, the Motorola Edge 70, and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge on sale. Just like last week, the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra are available at a...

The Sony Xperia 1 VIII feels like it’s from a different timeline – one where smartphone makers didn’t remove the microSD slot and the 3.5mm headphone jack, where they didn’t adopt punch-hole displays... or big, fast-charging batteries. We’re not going to sugarcoat it, the Mark 8 flagship has a hefty starting price of €1,500 / £1,400 and the inclusion of a free pair of the excellent WH-1000XM6 doesn’t quite make... Read more ›

Last week, we asked you to vote on the topic of Motorola’s new flip foldables – the Razr 70 series or, as they are known in the US, the Razr 2026 series. While there are three models involved, we can come to only one conclusion. And that conclusion is that the new flip foldables are too expensive – each of the three (vanilla, plus and Ultra) has its fans, however,... Read more ›

A few days ago, Google announced Gemini Intelligence, which seems to be more than just a rebranding effort. It’s actually an impressive set of features that, among other things, can automate multi-step tasks and execute them entirely in the background on its own, including things like sourcing and transforming information and interacting with various apps and websites autonomously on your behalf. There is even a “Rambler” component coming to Gboard... Read more ›

This is a rather interesting development for sure, but for whatever reason, Samsung has already shipped an update containing Android’s May security patches to the Galaxy A55 and is now doing the same for the Galaxy A54. Meanwhile, this author’s personal Galaxy S26 Ultra is still running patches from April 5 as of writing this article. We snooped around in the changelog for the update just out of curiosity. Perhaps... Read more ›

The Samsung Galaxy S26+ (256GB) is currently $890 on Amazon – that’s a bit lower than we’ve seen it at for the past few weeks and $200+ off on a phone that’s less than three months old is a solid discount. That said, the 2026 model doesn’t bring many updates over its predecessor – there’s the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and the slightly faster wireless charging (20W vs. 15W,... Read more ›

We recently saw reports from users claiming that Google is offering only 5GB of free storage with a new Gmail account, instead of 15GB, but if they added their phone number to the new account, Google would "unlock" 15GB storage at no cost. Google has revealed the reason behind that. In a statement to Android Authority, a Google spokesperson said the company is testing this change to help it continue... Read more ›

A week ago, we asked you to participate in a selfie video blind test. We lined up five phones, and we let you vote which one had the best selfie video quality. These five phones were not chosen randomly; we picked those specifically because their selfie videos had already surprised us during review time. And you will see what we mean when you see their names. We collected our readers'... Read more ›
