Sony unveiled its latest top of the line noise cancelling headphones, the WH-1000XM6, almost one year ago in May of 2025. Now it seems like the company is getting ready to introduce a refreshed version - meet Sony's The ColleXion headphones. These are supposedly coming in the near future in two colors, black and white. They seem to have a different hinge compared to the WH-1000XM6, and the cup material could be different too. Sony The ColleXion headphones leaked renders The source of these renders claims a fake leather finish may be replacing the matte plastic of last year....

Realme's 16 Series currently includes three smartphones - Realme 16, Realme 16 Pro, and Realme 16 Pro+. These will be joined by the Realme 16T on May 22. The press release we received from Realme states that the Realme 16T is designed for "everyday use and demanding travel scenarios" and will be positioned as the "8000mAh 3-Day Powerhouse."

The Realme 16T will feature a 6.8" display, and while Realme didn't reveal its...

Last week three upcoming members of vivo's X500 family were spotted in the GSM Association's IMEI database: the X500, X500 Pro, and X500e. But there's a plot twist: it turns out that there's a fourth member coming this year too (before the X500 Ultra will presumably arrive in early 2027). Ladies and gentlemen, vivo is going the Pro Max route, following in the footsteps of Xiaomi, which of course was 'inspired' by Apple. The aforementioned IMEI database now lists the vivo X500 Pro Max too, and thus that's also definitely coming. According to one past rumor, the X500 Pro Max will have...

After many years of anticipation, Apple finally added support for RCS in iOS 18 in late 2024, and it's been there ever since. There has been a rather significant caveat - these RCS messages you can send between an iPhone and an Android phone are not end-to-end encrypted. That changes today, with the rollout of iOS 26.5. This version comes with support for end-to-end encryption for RCS. Interoperability with Android is provided by Google, which has also announced that Android device users with the latest version of Google Messages can send end-to-end encrypted messages to people with...

vivo began the international rollout of the X300 FE last month, and a few days ago, it introduced the smartphone in India alongside the X300 Ultra at an event hosted in New Delhi. The vivo X300 FE (FE means Fashion Edition) will be available in India in Noir Black, Lilac Purple, and Urban Olive colors. The Urban Olive colorway is exclusive to India, at least initially, and we got our hands on one, so let's take a closer look at it. The retail package for the vivo X300 FE Urban Olive model is the same as for other color versions and includes a nice protective case that matches the phone's...

Back in February, a leak suggested that Oppo and Huawei may use a square sensor for their upcoming phones similar to what Apple offered with its iPhone 17 series. Now, new details have emerged about the camera sensor Oppo may be planning to use. According to the new leak, an Android smartphone maker is currently testing a 1:1 square sensor for the front-facing camera. While the tipster did not name the brand, the emoji used in the post hints that the device in question could be from Oppo. The 1:1 front camera on the iPhone 17 The brand is reportedly testing a 100MP sensor and it is...

Huawei’s Developers Conference is usually in June – this year the exact dates are June 12-14. Early bird tickets for the event were sold on April 29, but there is a batch of tickets that will be available from May 13 and another one from May 20. Tickets start from as little as CNY 88 ($13) for students and CNY 198 ($29) for older devs for a single day (June 14). A two-day pass is CNY 498 ($73) and a pass for the full three-day event (June 12-14) starts from CNY 698 ($102) – there are pricier tickets with better seating for the keynote, fancier catering and nicer “equipment packs” (event...

Chinese display panel maker BOE is reportedly trying to supply screens for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27. A new report from Korea claims that BOE has seen that TCL-owned CSOT has secured a contract with Samsung for the Galaxy A57 and would like to enter the Korean company's supply chain as well. Samsung Display is still the main display supplier for the Galaxy A57, but CSOT is the second supplier in terms of volume. With that in mind, Samsung is allegedly considering using BOE as a secondary supplier to Samsung Display for the Galaxy S27, but a decision hasn't been made yet. This...

If you were hoping for some bold color options for Apple’s highly anticipated folding iPhone, we have some disappointing news. According to a new report from China, the device, which is currently speculated to launch as the iPhone Ultra, will be available in only two color options. Possible iPhone Ultra colors (image credit) The rumor suggests white is a sure lock option, and it will be accompanied by another “subdued color” such as silver or navy blue. The source did not clarify the exact shade of the second color. The whole notion of restrained colors for the folding iPhone actually...

Sony has officially set the date for the next flagship Xperia launch – May 13 (Wednesday). The company just shared a new teaser video on its YouTube channel, which doesn’t reveal much, but it does hint at a new layout for the triple camera. Even better, the company also posted the live stream link where everyone will be able to watch the Sony Xperia 1 VIII unveiling. This link will become active in less than two days – the event is scheduled for 2am UTC on May 13. Delving into unofficial info, CAD-based renders show a brand new look for the back of the upcoming Mark 8 model with a...

Display Week 2026 was held in Los Angeles last week – it was an opportunity for the world’s largest display makers to showcase their most advanced technologies. TCL CSOT’s presentation focused on eXtended Reality (XR) applications. The first is a tiny 0.28” display – small enough to be embedded in lightweight smart glasses. However, this tiny display is a single-chip full-color Si-Micro LED panel with the highest pixel density in the world of 5,131ppi. It has a resolution of 1,280 x 720px, which isn’t enough for VR, but is plenty for an information overlay in AR glasses. In case the...

TikTok is the latest social media platform to offer a paid ad-free experience. The short-video platform announced a £3.99 subscription service in the UK, which will be available in the coming months for users aged 18 or older. Apart from removing all ads inside the app, TikTok promises its subscription tier will also prevent user data from being used for advertising purposes. Users can still continue to use TikTok for free with personalized ads. Other social platforms like Facebook and Instagram also have ad-free subscription tiers in the UK and other regions with the same basic model...

Venmo is redesigning its app with a very useful privacy feature. With the new app, during the onboarding process, you will be able to set whether you want your posts to be viewable by everyone by default, only by your friends, or viewable only to you. This is important because a lot of people may not know that the default has so far been sharing with everyone. You will of course be able to change whatever setting you choose during the onboarding at any later point via the app's settings. There's also an updated flow for sending money which will make it obvious whether that transaction will...

It appears that more Android smartphone makers are preparing to enter the wide-screen foldable segment. Samsung is rumoured to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide later this year, with new leaks suggesting that vivo, Oppo, and Honor are also developing their own wide foldables. Tipster Smart Pikachu shared fresh details about the upcoming vivo X Fold6, while also offering insights into vivo’s future foldable plans. According to the tipster, the X Fold6 is expected to feature a less noticeable display crease. The tipster further claims that upcoming foldable devices from vivo will adopt a...

The first phones with 10,000mAh batteries are already on the market from companies like Honor, vivo and Realme. Soon, Huawei will join the exclusive club, according to leakster Digital Chat Station, who claims that the company has developed a “10,000mAh+++” battery. The exact capacity is not known, but that’s a lot of pluses. Here’s what DCS says: Huawei has developed a new battery material and a new battery system, which will allow it to build a phone with the highest capacity in the industry. Currently, the nova 15 Max and the Enjoy 90 Pro Max are the phones with the largest...

While Samsung already discontinued its Galaxy Z TriFold across multiple markets, we’ve been hearing about its successor, which is expected to arrive sometime next year. While we wait for more details on that, a new patent discovered by David from xleaks7 showcases a Galaxy Z TriFold-like device with an interesting addition. Samsung wants to integrate a dedicated space inside the trifold device, which would house an S Pen. According to the patent description, the stylus would be held in place via magnets and charged when stored, similar to how it works on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. To make...

MediaTek is expected to unveil the Dimensity 9600 SoC later this year as its next flagship chip, but the company is also working on the Dimensity 8600 upper-midrange SoC as well. This is important because in recent times, MediaTek's Dimensity 8 series chips have dominated AnTuTu benchmark ratings for upper-midrange phones - it kind of seems like Qualcomm has decided to just hand over this market to MediaTek. And so, it will be interesting to see where MediaTek takes the 8 series with the next member, the Dimensity 8600. According to a new rumor from China today, this chip will be using a...

Ahead of its May 18 unveiling, RedMagic revealed a few key details about its upcoming RedMagic 11S Pro gaming phone. The brand unveiled the 11S Pro’s design alongside its two color options - Silver Wing and Dark Night. RedMagic 11S Pro in Silver Wing and Dark Night As we can see, it will feature a similar look to the RedMagic 11 Pro with a transparent-like look, flush cameras, an active cooling fan and a prominent cutout in the middle for the AquaCore liquid cooling system. RedMagic also confirmed that the 11S Pro will launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading...

Samsung is also ready with One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy Z Flip7, Z Fold7, Z Flip6, Z Fold6 and the Galaxy Tab S10 and S11 series. Some Galaxy A models are also expected to receive One UI 8.5 these days, but it will likely take a bit longer for Samsung to distribute. Don't be fooled by the...

The Oppo Find X10 series is expected to debut in October and is rumored to include the base Find X10, the Find X10 Pro, and the Find X10 Pro Max. While previous leaks have revealed several details about the base and Pro variants, a new leak has now shed light on the camera specs of the Pro Max model.

The Oppo Find X10 Pro The Find X10 Pro Max could feature a 200MP primary camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor, paired with a 200MP...

Premium wireless headphones occupy a rarified space, far outside the reach of most audio products, and indeed, most people’s budgets. Despite the encroachment of true wireless earbuds, these behemoths have remained a constant presence in the market and are the preferred option, especially among travelers, due to their superior noise cancellation and extended battery life. Sony has ruled this segment for years with its WH-1000X series of headphones. About a decade or so ago, the company did the unthinkable and dethroned Bose as the market leader in the segment. Later, Apple came along with...

We didn't see too many new announcements over the past week, which probably explains why our trending chart has a very similar look to last week. Once again we have the Samsung Galaxy A57 leading the pack, followed by the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Honor 600 Pro. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14320, 1#] The biggest gainer is the Galaxy A17, now up to fourth, followed by the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, which retained its fifth position. The upcoming Xiaomi 17T Pro is already causing a stir, claiming sixth position, while the vivo X300 FE is back in seventh. The Redmi Note 15 is yet another...

vivo unveiled the X300 Ultra in March in China, and later announced it for the global markets, making it the first Ultra model to debut outside vivo's home country. The vivo X300 Ultra was also launched in India a few days ago at a grand event hosted in New Delhi. The smartphone will be available in India in Eclipse Black and Victory Green colors. We already showed you the X300 Ultra in silver and black shades, so let's take a quick look at the Victory Green colorway now. [#InlinePriceWidget,14388,1#] Needless to say, the front of the vivo X300 Ultra's Victory Green model is the same as...

Welcome to this week's recap. The Sony Xperia 1 VIII was prematurely listed on Amazon, revealing a very hefty price tag - €1,868.99 in Germany, £1,728 in the UK. Sony later announced the official date for the Xperia 1 VIII unveiling - May 13. The Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro leaked. We got both specs and renders of the upcoming phones.

We’re headed into the second half of 2026, which is when Samsung switches its focus to the Z-foldables. Meanwhile, the S26 series has received some pretty significant price cuts. We start with the Samsung Galaxy S26. The base model – which finally features 256GB of storage instead of 128GB – is €165 off. There’s the option to upgrade to 512GB, which also involves a discount voucher. All three S26 phones follow the same pattern – straight discount for a 256GB model, discount + voucher for the 512GB model. Samsung Galaxy...

While this year the big news in the Motorola Razr family is the launch of the first book-style foldable, the Razr brand is still very much associated with flip foldables. The company refreshed its offerings with three new models: the Razr 70, Razr 70+ and Razr 70 Ultra. As usual, these will have slightly different names in the US: Razr 2026, Razr+ 2026 and Razr Ultra 2026. Let’s start with the top model. The Motorola Razr 70 Ultra (aka Razr Ultra 2026) is an iterative update – it uses the same Snapdragon 8 Elite silicon, although it does have the overclocked version (4.47GHz CPU...

We know that everything has been getting more expensive lately, but the prices of Ultra-class phones have gone too high for many who are interested in getting one. In last week’s poll, there was a lot of interest in the Oppo Find X9 Ultra with two-thirds of voters showing interest in the device – but only half of those thought that they could afford it. And the X9 Ultra isn’t even the most expensive Ultra on the market, although it does cost more than most. People are looking at trade-in bonuses, freebies like the Hasselblad Earth Explorer Kit and other ways to try and justify the...

Huawei's Watch Fit 5 Pro is officially global, and is priced at £250. The watch comes in Orange, White, and Black. In the box, you'll find the watch, a nice orange fabric strap (in our case), and the universal wireless charging puck (though one that sadly still ends on a USB-A port). The lineup's design is very similar to Apple's Watch and Watch Ultra, but this year we are starting to see more difference. The front is no longer a flat glass surface like on the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, and instead, there's a noticeable 2.5D curve to the glass. It's still a sapphire crystal glass, so you...

We’ve been watching the prices of Pixel 10 phones fluctuate over the last few weeks, but it’s rare to see all four non-folding models get solid discounts at the same time. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A37 got its first actual price drop. The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is $300 off at the moment – this puts the base model (which has 256GB storage, unlike the other three) at $900. The 512GB model is just over $1,000. We have a detailed comparison article that pits the Pixel 10 Pro XL against the Galaxy S26 Ultra to help you choose between the two flagships. ...

Samsung has released new software updates for the Galaxy Buds3 Pro and Galaxy Buds4 Pro TWS earphones. The update for the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro comes with firmware version R630XXU0AZD2, requires a download of about 8MB, and brings stability-focused improvements to the earphones. The update for the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro, on the other hand, weighs around 8.5MB and comes with firmware version R640XXU0AZD2. But the Buds4 Pro's update, like the Buds3 Pro's, also focuses on stability, as the changelog says the device's behavior has been improved. The software update for the...

Nothing launched the Ear (open) TWS earphones in September 2024, but they are still offered in a single color - white. Well, the white model will be joined by a new color next week, as Nothing has announced it will launch the blue version of the Ear (open) on May 11. Nothing hasn't revealed the blue Ear (open) entirely yet, but it did give us a glimpse of the new colorway by sharing its photo on X. You can check it below. Lots of things are blue: the sky, the ocean, a 1996-era Walkman. Swimming pools, tennis courts, everything by Yves Klein. Ear (open) is blue too.11.05....

Although the discounts aren’t particularly steep, it’s still good to see Apple’s latest iPhone 17 models getting some price cuts. However, the older iPhone 16 is available with a far more attractive discount. We’ve also found some deals on Google’s Pixel 10 series, Samsung’s latest Galaxy S26 lineup, and a couple of Xiaomi smartphones. The Apple iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro are currently available with a modest £30 discount. However, the offer is limited to the 256GB storage variants. Apple iPhone 17 £30 off ...

We may have found a crack in the armor of some of the best camera phones on the market right now – and we want you to weigh in. If you prefer the video explanation you can head this way for our TikTok channel, Instagram or YouTube. Otherwise just read on. The vivo X300 Ultra and the Oppo Find X9 Ultra are two of the top camera phones of 2026, and although the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra can’t quite match them, it has the advantage of a lower price and a wider availability. Everyone’s focus is mostly on the rear cameras, but their selfie modules are respectable as well – the vivo and Oppo...

Back in April the first details about the upcoming Honor Magic9 Pro Max got outed, and today a new source out of China brings us even more details about this phone. The device is said to sport a 6.8" to 6.89" LTPO OLED screen with "1.5K" resolution and 2.5D curved glass, a 200MP main camera using a 1/1.28" type sensor, a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, 3D face unlocking, high-power wireless charging, and a great level of water resistance.

DJI unveiled the Osmo Pocket 4 last month, but for some reason the company didn't also launch the much-rumored Pro version at the same time. The Osmo Pocket 4P (DJI really hates the word "Pro" these days) is still coming, however. And it will be launching internationally very soon. That's obvious from the fact that DJI has now published a teaser video for the Osmo Pocket 4P on its global YouTube channel. Not only does this show us the device from a few angles, it also confirms its much-rumored key selling point: the addition of a second camera. And that one is, as you may have...

We’ve started seeing leaks about the Pixel 11 series, which is due in about three months.

Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL features a 6.8” LTPO display and a 5,200mAh battery. Other than that, it is essentially identical to its smaller sibling. You can watch our video review for an in-depth look at the phone or read about how it compares against the Galaxy S26 Ultra. ...

DJI has just unveiled the Osmo Mobile 8P smartphone gimbal. We assume the "P" stands for "Pro" but for some reason DJI doesn't want to use that word. Anyway, the key feature here is that there's a detachable remote, with a touchscreen that mirrors the view from your phone. The remote has a joystick on it too, giving you great flexibility to control the device from a distance and perfectly frame your shots while using your phone's rear cameras. The Osmo Mobile 8P comes with ActiveTrack 8.0, which "delivers even more agile subject tracking" to keep you in frame even when you're part of a...

iQOO is reportedly working on the new Neo12 for China, according to a recent leak. Although the launch is still months away, some key specs of the phone have surfaced.

This could mean support for external cooling accessories or the inclusion of an in-built cooling...

vivo launched the first member of the S1 family in July of 2019, and the last one was the S1 Prime which came out in August of 2020. Six years later, the S series for India is going to get revived in 2026, according to a new rumor from a tipster over on X. vivo S1 Prime vivo is allegedly preparing a whole line of S2 devices, though it's unclear how many there will be. No specs have been leaked for any of them either. The only other detail that was outed today is that the S2 handsets will be "mid-price bucket smartphones". That's not a lot to go on, but hopefully more information will...

The RedMagic 11 Pro and Pro+ launched in China back in October, and last month a certification revealed that the company was working on the RedMagic 11s Pro. Today, the brand has confirmed the model, although it's using a capital letter s - so it's the RedMagic 11S Pro. RedMagic says this will be officially introduced at an event taking place on May 18 at 3PM local time in China. The Weibo post that revealed all of this information is also teasing the fact that the 11S Pro has overclocking of some sort. Unfortunately, no specs for the device have been officially confirmed, and the...

The Nintendo Switch 2 launched last year at $449.99 in the US, and from September 1 it's getting $50 more expensive. It will thus be $499.99. The company says it's doing this "in light of changes in market conditions". The Switch 2 is also getting CAD 50 more expensive in Canada and €40 more expensive in Europe. In Japan, the hike will go live much sooner, on May 25. Interestingly, Nintendo is also forecasting a drop in Switch 2 sales over the next year, probably connected with the price hike. In the first full fiscal year since it went on sale, Nintendo sold 19.86 million Switch 2...

Sony just officially confirmed the date of its Xperia 1 VIII unveiling - May 13 at 11:00 AM, Japan time.

It's clear that Sony will announce its long-awaited next flagship, the Xperia 1 VIII, but Sony will also announce its high-res flagship full-frame camera, the A7r VI, as well as a new lens - the 100-400mm f/4.5 GM. We know that the Xperia 1 VIII will usher in a new design, highlighted by a new square camera island, and a body that's ever so slightly...

Open earbuds have been gaining traction for a while now, and Oppo’s Enco Clip2 are its latest offering with a host of improvements over their predecessors. They bring dual-drivers co-tuned with Dynaudio, longer battery endurance, alongside updated connectivity and AI features. But first, let’s see what comes in the box. You get the charging case, which houses the buds and not much else. No charging cable, no extra cushions or added accessories, just the buds and their case. That’s not too different from competing clip-style earbuds we’ve tested recently. Our Enco Clip2 review...

Google has joined the growing number of competitors for the screenless Whoop band with the Fitbit Air. Like the Whoop band, this is a fitness tracker without a screen, but unlike the Whoop band, you can use it without a subscription.

To celebrate Mother's Day, today AT&T has published some interesting data revealing that Americans are texting their mothers three times more than calling them for Mother's Day. In fact, 75% of Americans prefer texting over calling. They send their mothers three texts for every one call.
