Redmi started teasing the global Note 15 5G a few days ago, first confirming its 108MP main camera, then its 5,520 mAh battery with 45W wired charging support. Now there's a new reveal, and this time we get one of the most important specs: the chipset powering the device. The Redmi Note 15 5G will use the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 SoC, which was quietly unveiled in September. If you're familiar with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, this is really similar. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 3's CPU has four Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.4GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at up to 1.8GHz. This CPU is...

Once again, the rumors were true - the Realme 16 Pro series will in fact get official on January 6. Today the brand has officially confirmed this, while at the same time teasing a design by the world-renowned Naoto Fukasawa. If the name sounds familiar, that's because he partnered with Realme before, designing special versions of the Realme X, Realme X2 Pro, Realme GT, and Realme GT 2 Pro. This time around he'll be involved with the upcoming Realme Buds Air8 design too, aside from that of the phones. The earbuds are going to be unveiled along with the 16 Pro series handsets. For the...

Xiaomi has clearly segmented the Poco F8 Pro and the Poco F8 Ultra, with deliberate hardware and feature differences between the two. The Ultra is objectively the better phone in almost every way, but is it enough to justify the price gap? The F8 Ultra is asking €180-200 more than its sibling, so let's see if it really deserves them.

Back in October we started hearing rumors about an upcoming new lineup from OnePlus called Turbo. The full specs for the first device in this line then leaked later that month, and now the company has officially confirmed this series. Li Jie, President of OnePlus China, took to Weibo to announce the Turbo range, commemorating 12 years of OnePlus' existence. The Turbo devices will "inherit the powerful performance genes" of OnePlus flagships, while leading with the strongest battery life in their class, and providing "an unprecedented gaming experience". OnePlus 15 Interestingly, Li...

Apple is widely rumored to be finally dipping its toes in the foldable smartphone game next year with the device we're calling iPhone Fold (though it's unclear what the official name will turn out to be). Today on Weibo, the Chinese leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station has decided to share more details about the device. According to him, the iPhone Fold will have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, in typical book-style foldable smartphone fashion. There won't be Face ID, nor an under-display fingerprint scanner according to this report. The iPhone Fold's main folding screen is...

Xiaomi's rollout of HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 has finally reached global 15 Ultra units in stable form. The update has arrived on our review unit, which is meant for the European market, as build 3.0.5.0.WOAEUXM. It's a whopping 8.9GB download, so make sure you grab it on a fast enough network, otherwise it could take hours to download. [#InlinePriceWidget,13657,1#] The full changelog is available in the screenshots below. It's huge, so we won't go into all of it here. But suffice to say, everything Xiaomi promised in its HyperOS 3 release is there. Expect a ton of performance...

The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold went on sale last week and it sold out in minutes in its home country of South Korea. Locals who missed out the first time around will have another shot – publication The Chosun quotes insiders who say that Samsung will restock in a couple of days. According to this report, the online store at Samsung.com will have new units available at 10am on Wednesday. Chances are that it will sell out just as fast, so you better act quickly if you want one – it is estimated that only 3,000 Z TriFolds are set aside for the domestic market. Some offline stores will also...

Xiaomi is rumored to be launching quite a few devices by the end of this month, including the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, which supposedly has a 9,000 mAh battery. But the company won't be stopping there in terms of battery capacity. According to a new rumor, next year Xiaomi will release a phone with a 10,000 mAh battery that will support 100W wired charging and very fast wireless charging too. And despite the massive battery, this phone will be less than 8.5mm thick, which is a great achievement in and of itself. Honor is also coming out with a handset with a 10,000 mAh battery and 100W...

An unknown HMD phone has surfaced on Geekbench – it bears the code name “Pearl”. Pearl was running Android 15 on a Unisoc chip with just 4GB of RAM for the test. Which chip is that? This appears to be the Unisoc T7250. The listed motherboard “ums9230_6h10” refers to the T606/T615/T616, however, the CPU clock speeds (2x @ 1.82GHz + 6x @ 1.61GHz) indicate that this is the T7250 indeed (the three T6xx chips are 2x @ 1.6GHz + 6x @ 1.6GHz instead). Mali-G57 is the GPU on both the T606 and the T7250. Geekbench 6.2.2 results: HMD Pearl (the HMD Pulse 2 Pro, perhaps?) By the way, the...

One of the most requested features is finally coming to Waze. We're talking about showing traffic lights. This has been a part of Google Maps for years now, and Google also owns Waze as you may know - but it's taken this long for Waze to start integrating traffic lights for some reason. For now it's a limited release - Waze is testing the traffic light display feature in Israel. The feature seems to be in early stages. Interestingly, Waze will only show you a maximum of three traffic lights when in navigation mode, presumably to keep the UI from looking too cluttered. That said, if...

The Honor Magic8 Lite will follow in the footsteps of the Magic8 Pro – no, that’s not a good thing. Honor has confirmed to us that Lite phones sold in Europe will have smaller batteries than those sold in Latin America. This affects weight too. European Magic8 Lite units will have 7,500mAh batteries and will weigh 189g. The ones sold in the Latin America region will have 8,300mAh batteries and will weigh 193g. At least there’s no third option... for now. The Magic8 Pro for China has a 7,200mAh battery, the global model has a 7,100mAh battery and the EU model has a 6,270mAh...

4G is here to stay for a while longer – Qualcomm quietly unveiled the Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2. It is aimed at entry-level and mid-range devices, just like the other new chip – the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4.

As the smartphone market takes a breather ahead of the holiday season we saw a very familiar face return as the most popular in our database. In the absence of big name announcements, the Samsung Galaxy A56 managed to add another gold medal to its unrivaled cabinet. The Poco F8 Ultra thus settled for second place after two weeks on top, while another long-time favorite completes the podium - the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14301, 1#] Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra took fourth, while OnePlus 15 climbed up to fifth position. We then have the Galaxy A17 in sixth and the...

The memes about RAM prices are funny and all, but the consequences of the memory supply crunch are anything but. Word on the street is that 16GB RAM phones will become extinct next year and we will see the return of budget phones with 4GB RAM. We've already seen some flagships with hiked prices compared to their predecessors, and we are now hearing that Samsung plans to bump up the prices of its mid-range lineup in India. However, raising prices is not a universal fix. In price-sensitive markets, smartphone manufacturers will choose to cut costs instead of going up the price ladder....

The Pixel Watch 4 is Google’s latest stab at the premium smartwatch market. As the successor to last year's Pixel Watch 3, the new model may not look all that different on the surface. But underneath that domed exterior is a slew of improvements, including a new display, an updated chipset, longer battery life with faster charging, improved fitness tracking, and Google's latest Wear OS software with Material 3 Expressive design. Starting at $349 for the 41mm version, the Pixel Watch 4 appears poised to claim the title of the best Android smartwatch on the market. But is it any good?...

Postage times go crazy this time of year, but there is still time to buy a new phone and have it arrive before the holidays. Well, not this one.

With foldable phones being so popular, you expect many third-party apps to be optimized for the said form factor. Even more so when it comes to system apps. That's why Google is improving the Camera experience for Pixel 9 Pro Fold users with an update by adding a neat Pixel 10 Pro Fold feature. Pixel 9 Pro Fold Camera app This particular functionality allows you to preview your photos on the left half of the screen and keep the camera viewfinder on the right side. Honestly, it's surprising how much time it took for Google to catch up since this is pretty much a standard feature for...

The Google Pixel 10a, which will arrive early next year, will have identical core specs to the 9a - a 6.3-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a 13MP selfie camera, and the same dual camera on the back. Next up is a 5,100mAh battery (same as 2025's a series phone), same 23W charging, and possibly even the same Tensor G4 SoC. Speaking of same, many rumors have painted a picture of a very same-same Galaxy S26 series. But one of the few upgrades will seemingly be the addition of MagSafe. Samsung will likely call it something different (like Pixel Snap for the Pixel 10...

Okay, it’s time to settle this – which Android skin is the best? Every company has its own implementation (yes, even Google), although some are much more heavily customized than others. Google is the lead developer of Android and as such it sets the tone for everyone else. It’s not just that: recently we’ve seen features like Circle to Search gain wide adoption by brands. Samsung is the biggest Android maker in the world and is the developer of the very influential One UI. Android 16’s desktop mode is built on the foundation of DeX and this is not the first time that Samsung has...

Retailers and couriers are slammed right now, so orders take longer to arrive than usual. Still, most of these you can pick up and have them arrive before the holidays, so it’s not too late.

The Galaxy A37 and A57 are expected to drop next month, and usually, the current models become more affordable. However, according to the latest tip, the company is planning to hike the prices of Galaxy A models in India by around INR 1,000. The Galaxy A56, on the other hand, will see its price go up by INR 2,000. The new prices will go into effect next week as early as Monday. The most probable reason for the price hikes is the cost of memory chips. You've probably already seen the memes online. They are all about a shortage in the memory segment due to soaring demand for HBM and...

Last week’s poll ends with interesting results – the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is surprisingly popular. Okay, the plurality of people is turned away by its price, but those people still find the form factor appealing. Add those who are willing to spend as much as necessary to get into the new form factor early plus those who are on the fence and are waiting and the Z TriFold crosses the 50% mark. It’s rare to see a fresh idea in the mobile space get so much support out of the gate – super-slim phones experienced the exact opposite situation. What we find particularly interesting is how...

The OnePlus Open received the Android 16-based OxygenOS 16 stable update in India and Europe last month, and now the rollout has expanded to North America.

Furthermore, the Photos app gets a visual update for an immersive experience, while...

The answer to the question “what charger should I use for my phone?” used to be simple – the right charger came in the box. That hasn’t been true for a while now, at least not for most phones in most regions. Now you are expected to go out and buy your own charger. But which one? The main problem is that the U in USB is a lie – it’s universal only if you are okay with outdated data speeds and slow charging. If you want more than 480Mbps and 10W, then things are a lot more fractured. There are standards that come from the USB Implementers Forum and all phones do support them as a...

Apple has released watchOS 26.2, which comes with a refined Sleep Score classification and an updated score range.

A couple of days ago, Redmi officially started its teaser campaign for the upcoming Note 15 5G, revealing that it has a 108MP main camera just like its predecessor. Today, the brand has also revealed that the Redmi Note 15 5G comes with a 5,520 mAh battery. That capacity was already rumored, and it's good to see it confirmed. For what it's worth, it's 410 mAh larger than the Redmi Note 14 5G's. The battery will support 45W wired charging, and Redmi claims it will last you 1.6 days of usage, whatever that means. It also promises "up to 5 years battery life", which we assume means it...

Apple has found itself in the crosshairs of the European Commission many times over the past few years, and now it's also being investigated by the Swiss Competition Commission (SCC). This has to do with access to NFC on iPhones. Apple started to allow third-party access to the NFC chip last year, following an initial opening up in the EU. But if you want to use the iPhone's NFC chip, you need to enter into a commercial agreement with Apple and pay the fees it requests, and that is precisely what the SCC is investigating. Namely, the SCC is trying to ascertain whether Apple's terms...

Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold went on sale in Korea today, promptly selling out despite its huge price point (around $2,400 at the current exchange rate). Speaking of huge price points, we just found out how much a replacement for the inner folding screen will cost for the TriFold. In Korea, this repair will be priced at KRW 1,657,500 at the lowest level. That's approximately $1,122, which makes this officially the most expensive Samsung smartphone screen replacement in history, but given the type of display we're talking about here, that's not really surprising, is it? Luckily,...

OnePlus is fully unveiling the 15R on December 17, and ahead of that the company has already revealed a lot of important details about it. So much so, in fact, that it now seems like it's running out of ideas. And so, today OnePlus has officially confirmed the fact that the OnePlus 15R has the best selfie camera ever fitted into an R series phone. That is definitely not a high bar. The 15R boasts a 32MP selfie snapper. It has twice as many megapixels as the 13R's 16MP camera. In an actually welcome development (since megapixel count by itself doesn't say much), the new camera has...

While the Samsung Galaxy S26 may not be getting new camera hardware, the Galaxy S27 series could arrive with a major upgrade. A new report from South Korea suggests that Samsung is reportedly working on an all-new smartphone camera sensor with global shutter capabilities, which could arrive with its next-generation flagship smartphones. The report does not specify the exact device, but it seems like it will be present on the Galaxy S27 series. Global shutter sensors differ from the more common rolling shutters by capturing all pixels at once without warping or distortion. This makes...

ZTE has introduced a new tablet in Europe, specifically in the Polish market for now - but it might spread to other countries as well soon. Meet the ZTE Pad X1102N.

Today, we have with us the OnePlus 15R, the sidekick to the flagship OnePlus 15 launched last month. This model follows the formula set by the previous R-series models, which is to be the halfway point between the flagship and the mid-range devices. For the time being, we can showcase the design of the device and talk about some of its specs, but the rest of the discussion will have to wait for the full review once the phone is officially launched. OnePlus sent the phone in a special media kit that came in this giant black box and included the phone, two of its magnetic charging...

The listing reveals that the device will support up to 60W fast charging. This is particularly interesting because Samsung just launched a 60W power adapter, which is already available for purchase.
