The Galaxy A37 and A57 are coming soon, and the leaks keep coming and coming. This week, we saw both handled in Thailand. The source posted videos of the pair on TikTok and shared some rumored prices. Apparently, the A57 will cost THB 17,999 ($554) for the 12/256GB trim and THB 20,999 ($646) for the 12/512GB version.

Weekly poll: will you buy the Oppo Find N6?

The Oppo Find N6 claims to have solved the biggest issues for foldables – it has made the crease basically invisible. Okay, that’s not the biggest issue facing foldables, but it is certainly a deal breaker for many. And it’s not like the Find N5 had major problems in other categories. That said, the N6 brings several important upgrades to the camera and battery. Oppo opted to increase the battery size to 6,000mAh (up from 5,600mAh) instead of slimming down the phone. That means that the N6 has the same thickness (4.2mm opened, 8.9mm closed) and weight (225g vs. 229g) as the N5. Again,...

Weekly poll results: the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is the fan favorite, while the (4a) takes a step back

Last year, the Nothing Phone (3a) was voted as having a better value than its (3a) Pro sibling, while people that might have bought the Pro were instead pulled towards the then-upcoming Nothing Phone (3) flagship. So, when we posted last week’s poll, we were sure that the (4a) would prevail over its Pro sibling. After all, the Nothing Phone (4a) closed the camera gap to the Pro. But look at its poll results – 25% of voters prefer the Pro, while some 40% of the vote is split between people who like it to various degrees with pricing emerging as a concern. Pricing was indeed a major...

Deals: Galaxy S26 series gets its first price drop, the Pixel 10 series drops even further

The first full week of sales of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series is now behind us. While we can’t expect to see price movement this quickly, there was the smallest twitch. The Galaxy S26 Ultra has not budged and we don’t expect it to anytime soon considering that it is by far the most popular of the three models. The Galaxy S26+ hasn’t moved either.

Nothing Headphone (a) unboxing

Nothing has new over-ear headphones on the market, and they make the already aggressively-priced Nothing Headphone (1) seem overpriced. At Β£149 / $199 / €159, you're getting a lot for not a lot. Let's see the box. The Nothing Headphone (a) ships with a simple carrying bag, a USB-C cable, and a 3.5mm cable. The bag isn't padded, so it won't protect the headphones from damage, but you've gotta cut some corners to get a great deal. The Headphone (a) packs 40mm titanium-coated drivers, has three-level ANC, LDAC support, and a Hi-Resolution Audio Wireless certification. On the...

Sony says AI frame generation is coming to PlayStation at some point in the future

In an interview, Sony PlayStation's lead system architect, Mark Cerny, said that the company is working closely with AMD to deliver AI-powered frame generation to PlayStation.

Apple was in acquisition talks with Lux Optics last year to improve the camera experience

According to one of the Lux Optics co-founders, who's also the developer behind the Halide camera app, Apple was close to acquiring Lux Optics in an attempt to improve its native Camera app. Lux Optics is also behind the Kino, Spectre and Orion apps. The deal eventually fell through in September last year. However, the report claims that Apple was pretty close and planned to improve the camera experience in its default Camera app on iPhones. If you've been following the news lately, you've probably seen headlines about Apple working on a variable aperture feature for the iPhone 18...

Yesterday, the retail box for the upcoming OnePlus Nord 6 leaked, and today the same source is back with something even better: a shot of the phone in two colors (Silver and Mint) in someone's hand somewhere in the wild, out and about.

Soon Google will have you wait 24 hours before sideloading Android apps from unverified devs

Google’s revamped process for sideloading apps on Android will require several steps, including a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before installing apps from unverified developers. The β€œadvanced flow,” as Google calls it, goes into effect from August and forces users to verify their identity by going through a 4-step process with the end goal of preventing potential scams.

Google’s solution involves enabling developer mode, then confirming that you are...

Report: Amazon is working on an AI-powered phone

Despite having first-mover advantage, Amazon has failed to capitalize on the AI craze with its Alexa-powered smart speakers. Trying to turn things around, Amazon released a generative AI upgrade for Alexa and launched the Alexa+ chatbot last year. There’s more happening behind the scenes – Reuters reports that Amazon is building an AI-focused phone. We all remember what happened the last time the company tried to make a phone. To be fair, the Amazon Fire Phone was over a decade ago. Interestingly, this may be marketed as a sort of anti-smartphone similar to the Light Phone. Using AI,...

Counterpoint: Smartphone sales in China slump during first months of 2026

Smartphone sales in China took a slight hit in the first two months of 2026 as shipments fell by 4% compared to the same period last year. According to Counterpoint Research’s China Weekly Smartphone Sell-Out Tracker, demand for new smartphones in China was lower than anticipated despite a new wave of government subsidies and promotions during the Lunar New Year.

With rising memory prices and OEMs like vivo and Oppo...
