The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is so good that Samsung is releasing it a third time. The original launched in 2020, then there was a 2022 re-release with minor changes (mostly the chipset) and now there is a 2024 model. And when we say “there is”, we mean that Samsung Romania is already selling it, even though we haven’t seen a press release or any other announcement. Oh well.... Read more ›

The Samsung Galaxy A55 retained its title as the most popular smartphone in our database in week 12. While its Galaxy A35 partner slipped down to fourth, the A55 is still having a comfortable advantage over the second place.

The iPhone 15 is smaller than most smartphones, but the Apple A16 chipset and the company’s long term software support mean that it punches above its weight. And while the battery isn’t huge, the 13:20h active use score is better than many flagships... Read more ›

In a recent poll, the Asus ROG Phone 8/8 Pro proved to be a potentially very popular model if it could clear one hurdle – the $1,100/€1,100 price was too high (it was even worse for the Pro, $1,200/€1,200/₹95,000). What if the ROG Phone 8 was cheaper? Wish granted – just not the way you may have thought. This week the company unveiled the Zenfone 11 Ultra, its first large... Read more ›

Amazon’s Spring sale brings great discounts on smartphones old and new. We picked out a few flagships, but some of the mid-rangers offer value for money that is hard beat.

The chip also handles processing for the Hasselblad-branded cameras - 50MP main (1/1.43”, OIS), 64MP 3x tele and 48MP ultra... Read more ›

The Galaxy A models from Samsung are some of the best-selling phones in the world, but the “5” generation isn’t off to a good start – voters in last week’s poll predominantly think that Samsung missed the mark with the upgrades and the pricing.

As we are preparing the Honor Pad 9 full review, we thought we could share the results from our battery tests as well as some benchmark scores. The tablet runs on a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, driving the pixels on the 12.1-inch, 1600 x 2560px IPS LCD panel, which in turn supports 120Hz refresh rate.

Activision launched its own version of battle royale for smartphones and naturally, it's called Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. This is a separate game from the well-known Call of Duty: Mobile. The latter provides a single and traditional multiplayer experience, while Warzone focuses on the battle royale genre.

After the US Department of Justice launched a lawsuit against Apple, arguing that the company has maintained illegal monopoly over the smartphone market and some related services, the Cupertino-based firm came out with a surprising story.

However, it appears... Read more ›
