Today Samsung is unveiling the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, and Poco knows this. So the brand has decided to mildly troll its competitor with the post on X which is embedded below. Samsung's teasers for the Galaxy S26 family have made a big deal of how its new devices aren't smartphones, but AI phones. And Poco is having none of that. Smart minds will wait for the smarter phone. They don’t rush. So shouldn’t you. #POCO pic.twitter.com/TyzgcOZKIE— POCO India (@IndiaPOCO) February 25, 2026 While Poco hasn't actually revealed what "smart minds" should actually be...

We’ve waited 13 months for this, but the Samsung Galaxy S26 series is here – well, it’s on pre-order, it will be “here” on March 11. In case you missed the live reveal and our coverage, here are some shortcuts to the most important things that happened at today’s Galaxy Unpacked. Long story short, Samsung unveiled three new phones – the usual vanilla, plus and Ultra models – alongside the next generation of in-ear Galaxy Buds. There is no new VR hardware this time around and no murmurs of an Edge model. #review-body table li { list-style: none; font-size: inherit; ...

Google's Nano Banana is probably the best AI image generator and editor, and the company knows it's got a very popular tool in its hands. So much so, that Google is now working on integrating Nano Banana into one of its most popular apps: Google Maps. If that sounds rather strange to you, you're not alone, but this is apparently happening, as the folks over at Android Authority have discovered some relevant code strings in the latest version of Google Maps. These are laying the groundwork for Nano Banana coming to Maps. In case you're wondering how you'd even use Nano Banana in...

New details about the OnePlus 15T have surfaced. While OnePlus recently confirmed that the phone is coming soon, it stopped short of revealing a specific launch window. The device is claimed to arrive as a compact powerhouse. The latest leak, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, suggests the OnePlus 15T will support magnetic wireless charging. The tipster claims the device will also be compatible with Apple’s magnetic charging ecosystem. Alleged external magnetic cooling fan (left) for the OnePlus 15T OnePlus is also said to unveil a 1cm-thin external cooling fan that can...

The vivo X300 Ultra has now had its model number officially confirmed, thanks to its certification in Indonesia by SIRIM. As you can see in the image below, the X300 Ultra has the model number V2562. It was certified alongside the also upcoming X300 FE, which has the model number V2537. The X300 Ultra is expected to be unveiled next month, and earlier today it was tipped to support a dual-lens teleconverter kit, which would be an industry-first. This would have a 400mm fixed-focus prime lens while also supporting a 200mm focal length, but you'll only be able to use one focal length at...

Last year, Luna introduced its Gen 2 smart ring. Now, the company is launching a major upgrade that will make the ring “the world’s first wearable you can truly talk to.” In short, you can use voice commands to log events throughout your day – what you ate, what you drank, the supplements that you took, any workouts that you did, even subjective feelings. Previously, you had to pull out your phone to do that. That extra bit of friction could cause you to put it off for later and forget to log important things. Luna Ring Gen 2 The Luna Ring Gen 2 tracks all kinds of...

Samsung finally adopted magnetic charging, but left it to you to find a case with magnets – the Galaxy S26 phones themselves have none. TORRAS, the creator of the world’s No. 1 brand of magnetic stand cases, has a new design built specifically for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. The TORRAS Ostand Q3 Air case for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra The TORRAS Ostand Q3 Air is made for everyday carry and adventure. The integrated kickstand can hold the phone in various orientations, while the AIR PRO-TECH airbags offer wrap-around protection. You can find it on TORRAS' official online...

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 Ultra alongside the Galaxy S26 and S26+ at its annual Unpacked event. You can head over to the relevant announcement articles for details on the new models, here we will just focus on pricing. And this year the pricing situation is hairier than usual – a few months ago, memory prices started to skyrocket and the smartphone market certainly wasn’t spared. This is to say that we knew to expect different prices going in. We should note that this year the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S26 has a base storage of 256GB, while the S25 started at 128GB. Even so, the...

Alongside the new S26 series of flagships, Samsung also unveiled the next generation of Galaxy Buds. Samsung polled its users and found that 58% of them use buds on a daily basis – and that sound quality is a top priority. That said, most people tend to use only one pair of headphones for everything, so the buds also had to be comfortable and easy to carry. These were the priorities that informed the design of the new Samsung Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro. Let’s start from the outside – Samsung reworked the case so that the buds lie flat, making them easier to retrieve and store. There is...

Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy S26 series and let’s just say that the software team had a busy year, while the hardware team didn’t get much done. Okay, that’s not true – the S26 Ultra brings some cool upgrades. However, you can read about them in our other article. Here we will focus on the vanilla and plus models. First, let’s rip the band-aid off – the Galaxy S26 and S26+ will use the Exynos 2600 in all regions except North America, China and Japan. Those regions will get phones with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy instead. Samsung Galaxy S26 While we’re on the...

The yearly Galaxy S-series update is here and the S26 Ultra gets the latest Qualcomm flagship chip, a new privacy display that keeps peeping eyes off your screen and the fastest charging on a Galaxy to date. It’s a tad thinner (7.2mm) and lighter (214 grams) than its predecessor, replacing the titanium frame with aluminium and retaining the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 back. There’s not much visual change upfront - see it on video here. You get a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution and a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It’s rated at up to 2,600 nits peak local brightness, just...

Google released the first beta of Android 17 for its Pixel devices earlier this month, and now Motorola is launching its own Android 17 beta program. This is rather interesting since recently Motorola has been anything but quick with issuing major Android updates to its devices. We're unsure if that will change for the stable release of Android 17, but we can hope. Anyway, if you're in the US and have a Motorola Edge (2025), you can join the beta program here. If you have a Moto G57 in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, you can join here. If you have a G57 Power in Europe, the Middle...

For the longest time, Apple has been avoiding the foldable smartphone space, and the reason has been rumored to be crease control. This year, the company is expected to finally release the iPhone Fold, its first entrant into this space, thanks to a practically crease-less folding display supplied by Samsung. A new leak from China today purports to give us the exact specs of the crease. It is allegedly under 0.15mm, with a fold angle under 2.5 degrees. Thus, it won't technically be a crease-less folding screen on the iPhone Fold, but very close to that. The iPhone Fold is rumored to...

Nothing is unveiling the Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro on March 5, and ahead of that the company has already shown us the Phone (4a) in a white colorway. That said, the Phone (4a) will be the first Nothing device ever to also come in pink, and today the company has revealed this one in all its glory. It's definitely pink, that's for sure. Obviously, the phone is identical to its already revealed white twin, just the colorway differs. In fact, here's an official image showing both of them. Nothing has also published a video describing "the design secrets" behind the phone,...

The vivo X300 Ultra is shaping up to be a camera powerhouse, if recent leaks are accurate. Ahead of its expected launch next month, a new rumor has surfaced revealing details about the phone’s external teleconverter kit. Well-known tipster Digital Chat Station has shared new details once again. In a post on Weibo, the leakster claims the upcoming X300 Ultra will feature an industry-first external teleconverter kit with a dual lens setup. vivo X300 Pro teleconverter kit The teleconverter kit is said to include a 400mm fixed-focus prime lens while also supporting a 200mm focal...

Oppo announced the Reno15 series earlier this year for international markets, marking its first major announcement of 2026. The smartphones introduced to the international markets include the Reno15, Reno15 Pro, Reno15 Pro Mini, Reno15 Pro Max, and Reno15c. But it isn't as simple as it sounds, because some of these phones are sold with different names in different regions. The global Reno15 Pro, for example, is sold as the Reno15 Pro Mini in India, while the Indian Reno15 Pro is available as the Reno15 Pro Max in some countries. Indian Oppo Reno15 Pro We already reviewed the Reno15...

Apple is set to launch several new devices next week, including a new entry-level MacBook model (J700) and updated MacBook Pros with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. But these won’t be the only new MacBook models to launch this year. A new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests we’ll finally see the long-rumored touchscreen MacBook Pros arrive sometime in late 2026. According to people familiar with the matter, Apple will announce 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros known internally as K114 and K116. If these claims hold up, these MacBook Pros will finally break the long-standing Apple bias...

Oppo has begun teasing its upcoming foldable smartphone, the Find N6. The device is tipped to launch in China in March, and ahead of its debut, renders of the phone have surfaced online.

Oppo also highlighted the phone’s nearly crease-free screen in its recent teasers. According to the tipster, Oppo’s latest foldable uses a seamless titanium alloy hinge and a self-healing memory glass to achieve the crease-less...

According to a new rumor from China, the Realme GT 9 will have a 200MP camera, while the GT 9 Pro will have two 200MP cameras. This will strengthen both devices' photography chops. For reference, note that the GT 8 has zero 200MP cameras, while the GT 8 Pro features one - the periscope telephoto shooter with 3x optical zoom. The GT 9 Pro would keep that, presumably, while also employing a 200MP main camera. Realme GT 8 Pro Two 200MP cameras on one phone will be a massive trend in China later this year, with the Oppo Find X9s, Oppo Find X9 Ultra, and vivo X300 Ultra all expected to...

The research house compared the sales from February to December of their release year for both. The Galaxy S25 devices sold 5% more in that period than the Galaxy S24 phones.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra even saw some mid-cycle month-over-month...

YouTube relaunched the Premium Lite subscription almost one year ago, in March of 2025, and now it's announced some exciting new features for this plan. While so far YouTube Premium Lite gave you "most videos" ad-free and nothing more, starting now there's also support for background play and downloads for "most videos". This is rolling out "in the coming weeks" everywhere YouTube Premium Lite is available. Regarding ads, the company still only promises you'll see "most videos" ad-free, not all of them like with the full subscription. Still, Premium Lite is cheaper than Premium,...

The upcoming iQOO Z11x was revealed to sport the model number I2507 through a certification back in early January, and now a prototype with that exact model number has been spotted in the Geekbench online database. As you can see from the screenshot below, the phone managed a single-core score of 1,057 and a multi-core score of 2,704 in Geekbench 6.6 for Android, but as usual we caution you against taking such results too seriously, since we are talking about pre-release prototypes after all.

According to a new report from its home country of Korea, Samsung is upping its initial production run for the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra, due to be made official at its Unpacked event tomorrow. The company was allegedly planning to make around 2.5-2.9 million units initially, in the first two months, but this number has now been upped to 3.5-3.9 million units. That's about a one million increase, and it's definitely not small. This is, however, just a report from "an industry insider", so don't forget to take it with a pinch of salt. The reasoning for the increased initial...

Almost every other foldable on the market is only rated “5” for dust protected (i.e. 5 means that some dust may get in but won’t damage the device, 6 means no dust gets in at...

Samsung is now rumored to be developing a new 200MP 1/1.3-inch type camera sensor, that will be called ISOCELL HPC. That would be an increase in size from the HPB developed for vivo's X300 and X300 Pro, which is 1/1.4-inch type. The new sensor is high-end, and is expected to be used by Oppo in a future smartphone, most likely one in the Find X10 family. It features UFCC aka Ultra Fine Color Filter, which was developed by Samsung to reduce thickness while improving light transmission and color purity. It should also have ultra-high dynamic range.

Google is now sending earthquake alerts to Wear OS devices even when they're not connected to a smartphone, according to the release notes for the latest version of Google Play Services. Google first brought Android's Earthquake Alerts System to Wear OS last year, but so far it was just basically mirroring the alert you received on your phone. From now on, even if your phone is too far to remain connected to your watch, the latter will still notify you about earthquakes. Of course, it will probably need a standalone internet connection to do so - thus, this most likely only applies...

Xiaomi has brought out a petite new battery with MagSafe charging – the Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W measures only 6mm thick and weighs 98g. As you can tell by the overly descriptive name, this is a 5,000mAh power bank that can output up to 15W wirelessly using Qi2.

Oppo is launching the Find N6 very soon, and ahead of that, today in China the purported contents of the Find N6 'gift box' (machine translated from Chinese) got outed.

The leaks highlight the Privacy Display feature, the S-Pen, and even reveal the phone’s benchmark scores. YouTuber Sahil Karoul managed to get his hands on the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra, claiming that a retailer in Dubai already has the phone on sale. The YouTuber shared several videos and images of the phone on X, revealing key aspects of the device. In one clip, Karoul demonstrates the Privacy Display feature,...

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has been the most popular smartphone in our database for most of 2026's first two months, so no surprises it's still on top of our trending chart the week before its announcement. It's got the newly announced vivo V70 and Infinix Note 60 Pro keeping it company on the podium. The extension of lifecycles caused by surging RAM prices means the Galaxy A56 will get an even longer time in the spotlight - it placed fourth almost a full year after its debut. [#InlinePriceWidget, 13603, 1#] Behind it we have more newly announced phones - the Pixel 10a came in...

The iPhone 17e is just around the corner and as is the norm rumors gave us a pretty good idea of what to expect. The company is gearing up to launch several devices on March 4 (or shortly before that), the most exciting of which is the iPhone 16e successor - the iPhone 17e. The 17e promises a handful of notable upgrades over its predecessor. Perhaps the most obvious one will be the Dynamic Island. The full-fledged notch will be replaced by a Dynamic Island cutout along with the accompanying software features. The display itself will remain the same - 6.1" running at 60Hz. The...

Let's recap week number 8 of 2026. It was heavily influenced by Galaxy S26-related stories, but Google did unveil its ungroundbreaking Pixel 10a, and Xiaomi's 17 series is closing in on a global release. We saw a few S26 chip stories. It seems that the Exynos 2600, which will power some of the S26 units in some markets, has stronger Ray Tracing performance than the Adreno 840 inside the Snapdragon-powered models. On the flip side, the single-core performance of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered Galaxy S26 Ultra is much better than the corresponding Exynos 2600 one. Samsung also...

Vloggers and tech enthusiasts all around swear by DJI’s Pocket line of gimbal cameras, and for good reason. The rumor mill has been buzzing for some time now with leaks of an upcoming new Pocket 4 model, now that the current Pocket 3 will be turning three years old near the tail end of this year. Previous leaks have hinted at a dual-lens design with a secondary zoom camera, akin to a recent Insta360 leak and more crucially, the dual camera systems on some of DJI’s drones. However, this latest leaked short hands-on video shows a very familiar design with a single lens, but still some...

The Google Pixel 10a was announced earlier this week – can it shake up the European mid-range market or is it walking into a fight that it is ill prepared for? Sibling rivalry may be the biggest problem for the young 10a. The Google Pixel 10a is mostly the same as the 9a. It uses the same 6.3” 1080p+ display (slightly brighter) now with Gorilla Glass 7i (replacing GG3), runs on the same Tensor G4 chipset and has the same 48+13MP camera. The battery capacity is the same too, 5,100mAh, though Google increased the wired (from 23W to 30W) and wireless (from 7.5W to 10W) charging...

About a year ago, poll results for the Pixel 9a showed that the hardware was pretty good, but people had an issue with the price. Well, we have been seeing 9a deals for months so that issue is essentially solved. Now we turn our attention to the new Google Pixel 10a, which launches at the same price as the 9a - $500/£500/€550/₹50,000 for an 8/128GB unit, available March 6. And that isn’t the only thing that is the same on the 10a. Let’s quickly go over the upgrades. The new 10a has a more durable Gorilla Glass 7i (up from GG3) and the same IP68 rating with an aluminum frame and...

At the start of December, Google reported that Android 16 adoption was low. However, our tech-savvy audience is ahead of the curve and most of the people who voted in last week’s poll have version 16 running on their phone. For some (7%), it’s because they bought a new phone recently and it came with Android 16 out of the box. The majority of voters (55%), however, received version 16 as an update. Around a third of voters are still on an older version – either because they are still waiting (some brands take longer than others) or because support for their phone has come to an...

WhatsApp might soon let all users send messages automatically in chats, as it's working on a message-scheduling feature expected to work in both individual and group chats. This revelation comes from the folks at WABetaInfo, who discovered this under-development feature in the beta version 26.7.10.72 of WhatsApp for iOS. This feature, which might be called Scheduled Messages, would allow users to automatically send messages by scheduling them in advance. Just type a message, then choose the date and time you want it delivered automatically. The scheduled messages will be...

The mid-range smartphone market in the US is not in a good place – the most exciting launch in a while happened earlier this week with the unveiling of the Google Pixel 10a (though note that the phone will become available a couple of weeks from now). The Google Pixel 10a is mostly the same as the 9a. It uses the same 6.3” 1080p+ display (slightly brighter) now with Gorilla Glass 7i (replacing GG3), runs on the same Tensor G4 chipset and has the same 48+13MP camera. The battery capacity is the same too, 5,100mAh, though Google increased the wired (from 23W to 30W) and wireless (from 7.5W...

Internal research at Samsung revealed that the majority of users, nearly 8 in 10, regularly use more than two AI agents. The company is working on improving Galaxy AI for the AI future. By adding multi-agent support, Samsung will make the experience of juggling several AIs much smoother. The revamped Galaxy AI will have integration for AI agents at the OS level. This will help Samsung stay on top of the quickly evolving AI field with seamless integration of new AI agents in a way that is consistent with the familiar Galaxy experience. Since the integration is at the system level, you...

Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked, even for the Galaxy S26 family, is right around the corner, officially scheduled for February 25. If you've been following the news cycle even loosely, this is hardly news. In fact, there are very few aspects of the upcoming Samsung flagships that have not yet leaked in some fashion. You can go here to see a rather full specs sheet for all three models. If you are looking to pick up a shiny new Galaxy S26 Ultra, you will likely get a choice between four colors: Black, Cobalt Violet, Sky Blue, and White. And just like every year, there will be some online...

Google’s newly launched Pixel 10a is now available for pre-order. Alongside, the Google Pixel 10, several Xiaomi smartphones, and Samsung’s latest Galaxy tablets are available with a discount. The Pixel 10a is not a huge upgrade over the 9a, but it’s a good deal at £499 for the 128GB variant.

Ever since OpenAI acquired ex-Apple chief designer Jony Ive’s design startup, rumors have been rampant about what kind of product the collaboration will yield. Clearly, it would have to be some sort of hardware piece – a first for OpenAI. At first, insiders hinted at an AI pen, then the clues shifted things towards something simpler – AI earbuds. Now insiders familiar with the matter claim that there are three hardware products in the pipeline – a wearable pin-like device, smart glasses and a smart speaker. The latter might just be first out the door. Apparently, a team of over...

Remember when Facebook rebranded to Meta back in 2021? That move was very much related to an internal company belief in the future of VR tech. As part of that, Meta envisioned Horizon Worlds as the main way people would be communicating in the future. At this point in time, it seems pretty clear that the VR fad is over or close to it. According to a recent interview with Meta’s VP of Content at Reality Labs, Samantha Ryan, a mobile-first strategy is now at the forefront, with Horizon Worlds shifting gears to be “almost exclusively mobile.” As part of the change, Meta is splitting...

The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion we've been hearing about for over a month now will be unveiled soon. This revelation comes from Motorola's Indian branch, which teased the Edge 70 Fusion with multiple posts on X, including one that said, "Coming soon."
