Rumors about the iPhone Fold have been going on for years at this point, and Apple is expected to introduce its first non-slab phone this September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series. We now have a new look at how the trio compares size-wise thanks to case mold images shared by Sonny Dickson. The Fold features a peculiar, wide design just as previously rumored. We can spot a dual camera setup on the back, which is expected to consist of two 48MP sensors (wide and ultrawide) housed inside a camera plateau like on the iPhone Air. The new images were not accompanied by exact dimensions,...

The Honor Win launched in December and according to a new leak from China the brand is already busy working on its successor. We will tentatively call this the Honor Win 2. It will allegedly be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 SoC, but the 'normal' version, not the Pro - Qualcomm is rumored to be releasing two options this year, with the Pro being the proper successor to the 8 Elite Gen 5. The Honor Win 2 reportedly has a 6.89-inch QHD+ OLED screen with a 185Hz refresh rate, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, and a 10,000 mAh battery. So, compared to...

Today, Motorola has officially introduced the Moto G Stylus (2026) and the Moto Pad (2026).

Oppo is launching the Find X9s Pro alongside the Find X9 Ultra in China on April 21, and the brand has been in full teaser campaign mode for a while now. Today a video surfaced showing that the Find X9s Pro will get an optional Hasselblad co-branded teleconverter to take zooming to another level. The quality seems good, but that's not the point here - the point is to tease the existence of the teleconverter, of course. The Find X9s Pro has also been spotted on Geekbench today with the model number PME110. It managed a single-core score of 3,463 and a multi-core score of 10,174 in...

Sony’s upcoming Xperia 1 VIII appeared in a set of case renders last week, showcasing a boldly redesigned camera island and a punch-hole cutout display. Well, we now have an updated computer-aided design (CAD) look at the next Xperia flagship, which once again confirms the previously leaked design. This is the second source showcasing a square-shaped camera island housing three camera sensors. The design is reminiscent of the OnePlus 10 Pro, though we should once again remember that these are merely renders and not the phone’s final design. Then again, this is the second source showing...

Xiaomi President Lu Weibing has just confirmed on Weibo that Redmi is launching the K90 Max later this month. This might just be the new name for the highly anticipated K90 Ultra, or a new device entirely, it's unclear at this point. What is clear, however, is that the K90 Max will come with an active cooling fan with a larger diameter than competitors' solutions. Air intake volume can reach 0.42cfm, which, according to Lu, is 30% more than in competing devices. And it achieves all of this with a noise "as low as" 32dB on the lowest of three speeds. Redmi K90 Max...

WhatsApp is currently working on bringing its own in-app noise cancellation for voice and video calls. This has been spotted in the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android, so it's still actively being worked on. This feature automatically filters out background noise to make conversations clearer. So if you're surrounded by traffic or crowds, or if you're in a windy environment, this will hopefully help you be heard better by those you're talking to. This can be enabled and disabled at will, as you can see in the screenshots above. The toggle is available in the call menu. It...

The phone comes with a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC at the helm, a triple rear camera system (50MP main with OIS, 50MP periscope telephoto...

In the market for a big-screen Android flagship? If so, it's nearly impossible not to come across the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra or the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL. The newly announced Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL are two different worlds, or just the two opposite ends of the spectrum called Android, if you wish. One represents a philosophy built around heavy customizations and heaps upon heaps of features (S26 Ultra), while the other represents Google's take on the Android experience (Pixel 10 Pro XL). That doesn't mean there are no proprietary features on the Pixel, but...

We have some great news. The much-anticipated vivo X300 Ultra has just arrived for review. We're fans of vivo's Ultra, because it always pushes the envelope when it comes to imaging innovation. As usual, we're doing the unboxing first. Like its predecessors, this year's vivo Ultra comes with a color-matching case, a charger, and a USB cable. What's new with the X300 Ultra is the charger. It's now a 100W USB-C unit, up from the 90W USB-A unit of the X200 Ultra. Unboxing the vivo X300 Ultra We also received vivo's new Photography Kit, which has grown substantially in terms of...

vivo launched the X300 Ultra last week, and if you have been curious to take a look at this monster of a camera phone's insides, you're in luck. The Chinese YouTube channel WekiHome has taken one apart, and the full disassembly is shown in the video embedded below, complete with details about each and every component. Of course, it's in Chinese, but try the auto-translated captions, they are surprisingly good (at least for English). This device is, as you may already know, vivo's all-out camera-centric flagship for 2026, and unlike its predecessors, it will also be available...

The iPhone Fold (or Ultra) has widely been reported to finally become official this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. However, recent rumors have claimed that it wouldn't actually start shipping right away - Apple would announce it at the same event as the Pros, but those would become available in late September as usual, while the Fold would take a few more weeks to actually arrive in stores according to one source. Another source claimed it might only be released in December. However, Apple seems to be doing all it can to have the iPhone Fold's arrival fully...

Limited editions are all the rage in many different fields, and Google apparently wants to play this game too. So it's preparing a Pixel phone that will be limited to only one market - it's not limited in the number of units available (that we know of), but will only be sold in Japan. What is this mystery device? Google's official X account for Japan has released the teaser image you can see below. And while it doesn't outright say what device this is, we're going to go ahead and assume it's just a colorway for an existing phone, a hue that won't be available elsewhere. Since...

Last week, Samsung rolled out an update for the Galaxy S26 series in South Korea, and that update has now spread to more regions, including Europe, the US and India.

Google has just added a neat new little feature to the Google Play Store on Android, and it's a search bar. That may not sound very exciting, but the placement matters. This new search bar appears when you go into the reviews section of an app or game, allowing you to quickly search for specific keywords within all of the reviews other people left. If you aren't sure whether an app has a specific feature or how it behaves in a specific scenario, this is definitely a huge quality of life improvement, saving you the time needed to dig into countless reviews manually in order to find out just...

Google launched the Pixel 10a in February and released it in early March, and today a video showing its disassembly has been published. We've embedded it below for your viewing pleasure. To get into the phone, a hair dryer or heat gun is needed to loosen the adhesive holding the back plate in place, and then it's all smooth sailing. [#InlinePriceWidget,14474,1#] The USB port is soldered onto the mainboard, unfortunately, which makes replacements complicated. On the other hand, there's a pull pouch to help you pry the battery out, which makes the process relatively straightforward. The...

While the Honor 500 and 500 Pro are still exclusive to China, leaks about the next-gen successors have been coming in over the last two months. Those leaked Honor 600 Pro renders from last month are in fact legit as we now have a live look at the device thanks to a Weibo post from Digital Chat Station. Honor 600 Pro will bring a distinct design departure from the 500 series, with a redesigned back featuring a larger camera island and three sensors. The camera island’s shape, combined with the bright orange colorway, shows a clear design inspiration from the iPhone 17 Pro...

The company has now confirmed that the A7 Pro 5G will debut in India next week, albeit with some hardware changes.

Samsung has announced that its default messaging app, Samsung Messages, found on its smartphones, will soon be discontinued. The move isn’t surprising, as most recent Samsung devices already come with Google Messages pre-installed. In a notice published on its website, Samsung confirmed that the Messages app will be discontinued in July 2026. The company is urging users to switch to Google Messages as their default texting app. Samsung is advising users to check the Messages app for the exact discontinuation date. The company also noted that phones running Android 11 or older will...

What do you need out of your EDC (everyday carry) earbuds? Monster battery life? Is 46 hours good enough? Active noise cancellation? We'd say up to 50dB of noise reduction is great! Strong sound quality? The Honor Earbuds 4 gives you dual titanium-coated drivers. Smart features? You get both press and swipe controls, like on some much more expensive offerings. Not bad. Now the price? Roughly $50-$70 (€45–€70), though they're not available everywhere - currently in the Middle East and China. Unboxing the buds, you get three pairs of rubber eartips in different sizes. You have a...

The Samsung Galaxy A57 debuted last week, but it's still on top of our trending chart in week 14. It's also maintained a comfortable lead to the second place, which is once again occupied by the Poco X8 Pro Max. No change in third either, where we find the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Infinix Note 60 Pro made a strong comeback, placing sixth, while the Galaxy A56 keeps sliding down and is now seventh.

Android’s notification management system is already quite advanced and flexible, but it might be getting some additional smarts pretty soon. Android currently has features like Notification Channels, Notification Cooldown, Modes and Notification Organizer. Now Google is apparently working on something called Notification Rules. Notification Rules were spotted in Android 17 Beta 3. According to the strings unearthed by Android Authority, rules can be based on Apps or People. The available actions when a given rule matches its criteria are: Silence, Block, Silence and Bundle,...

There were no new major launches in the US, so we will focus on the recently released Galaxy S26 series. Meanwhile, the previous generation Pixel phones have resurfaced. The S26 flagships are in an intermediary period – they are too new for straight discounts, but it has been a month since they arrived, so they need a sweetener – the top dog, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, is paired with a $200 gift card from Amazon. If you pick the 512GB model, you can also get a $300 bonus on trade-ins. To help you pick the best phone for you, we have a Galaxy S26 Ultra vs. iPhone 17 Pro Max article....

The next Sony Xperia 1 (number VIII) may finally bring a redesign to the (a bit stagnant) series. Case renders from China show a new camera island design, a more conventional (rather Moto-like) square camera island. The vivo X300 Ultra is official in China. It brings a larger 200MP main 35mm camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite gen 5 SoC, a larger 6,600mAh battery, and a faster 144Hz display, among other improvements. The phone opens up sales in China and ships in Green, Silver, and Black colors. A global unit is expected too. We saw CAD-based renders of the Google Pixel 11 and 11 Pro. The...

Lazy loading is not a new concept by far. The idea is simple – defer loading some of the heavier elements of a page until the lighter ones are loaded. That way, the user can start interacting with the content sooner rather than later. Since 2019, Chrome and Chromium-based browsers have had lazy loading for images and iframes. Both types of elements will only start loading once the user scrolls close to them on the page. Google has announced that it is currently testing expanded lazy loading that also includes video and audio elements. That is to say, multimedia content...

A new report from China is confident that the upcoming iPhone Fold will feature a 3D printed hinge to help bring the crease on its folding display to a minimum.

This Sunday marks the 5-year anniversary of LG officially exiting the smartphone business. That wasn’t quite the end of the story – the company wouldn’t stop making phones until the end of May 2021. However, on April 5, 2021, the company officially confirmed that its board of directors had approved the decision to shift focus away from phones. LG sold off its remaining phone inventory with a promise to put out software updates for its final models. And it did – the LG Wing received Android 13 in April 2023 (it originally launched with Android 10). At the same time, the company announced a...

It has been just a couple of weeks since the first discounts for the Galaxy S26 series and now we’re seeing even bigger price cuts. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A57 and A37 launched earlier this week, but the Poco series is offering some stiff competition to both A and S phones. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with 512GB storage is now €1,185, which is €45 less than it was two weeks ago.
