The Xiaomi 13 series was strong out of the gate, but pricey too – the global versions started at €1,000 for the Xiaomi 13 (8/256GB) and €1,300 for the Xiaomi 13 Pro (12/256GB). This week saw the launch of the 13T duo – the phones are not as capable as the main 13 series, however, they are a good deal cheaper too. Xiaomi 13T The Xiaomi 13T is €650 for an 8/256GB phone, the Xiaomi 13T Pro goes for €800 for a unit with extra RAM and the same amount of storage, i.e. 12/256GB. So, both of them have lower MSRPs than their non-T siblings. The price of the old flagships has fallen since...

Slowly but surely foldables are inching towards an affordable price range. And it’s not the old flagship killer brands doing it but rather Tecno’s premium brand – the Phantom V Flip launches at ₹50,000 in India and will be €700 in Europe. This makes it the cheapest foldable yet. For comparison, the Rarz 40 is one of the most affordable flip foldables and it costs ₹60,000/€900. The V Flip does have a few rough edges, but as we found in our review, this is a very compelling package for the price. That’s good enough for one fifth of voters in last week’s poll who might have been counting...

If you were wondering whether the long-rumored OnePlus Open, the company's first foldable device, would be sold officially in India, wonder no more. It will. This is clear given that the brand has started its teaser campaign for the Open in India - but not as you'd expect. It's not a social media post announcing an announcement, or anything like that. Instead, OnePlus effectively gave an Open to Indian actress Anushka Sharma, and had her "inadvertently" show it to paparazzi left and right. This was caught by not one but two separate videos, which you can see below. Now,...
Today has been a big day for leaks of upcoming flagship Samsung phones. We first saw renders of the vanilla Galaxy S24 popping up, and then the top of the line S24 Ultra followed suit. The eagle-eyed among you may have realized there's one member of the family missing - the S24+. Well, not anymore, as it too has now been subjected to the CAD-based leaked renders treatment. These show the middle child of 2024's flagship family from an array of different perspectives, and the design is incredibly similar to that of the S24. As before, it looks like the S24+ will basically be a larger version...

It’s that time of the year where delivery couriers are rushing around town trying to deliver as many new iPhones to the masses. We already received our iPhone 15 Pro Max which and even completed its review, but we also got another package containing the iPhone 15 Plus. Let’s see what this one brings to the table ahead of its full review. We picked out the Blue version of the 15 Plus, but as you can see, the color is really washed out to the point that you might easily mistake it for white. Apple really dulled the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus color options this year making the lighter shades...

Google's series of video ads under the "#BestPhonesForever" moniker continues today with the latest installment, a "scary story" about how wonderful and AI-filled the upcoming Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro launch on October 4 will be. That is, compared to the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max portrayed alongside the Pixel 7 Pro in this video. The iPhone, in Google's opinion, only got "a different mute button, a dynamic-er island, and a new charging port". The iPhone is thus nervous about the prospect of the Pixel 8 Pro being more innovative, and getting "the best AI", whatever that means. So much...

The Redmi 12C was first made official in China last December, and then it made its way to India in March. Now, the first renders for the upcoming Redmi 13C have been leaked, and this will unsurprisingly be the succesor to the Redmi 12C. Redmi 13C leaked renders According to these renders, the Redmi 13C features a 50 MP main camera (with two additional cameras on the rear as well), a waterdrop notched display, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

When it's not overheating, the iPhone 15 Pro Max fails bend tests - like the one performed last week by Zack from YouTube channel JerryRigEverything. It's quite a sight to behold how the back glass shatters when the phone is bent, and keep in mind that this is the first iPhone to ever fail such a test. Let's reminisce: Today it's time to see if the vanilla iPhone 15, which still has an aluminum frame, unlike the Pro Max's fancy titanium, will share the same fate or not. Spoiler alert: no. Watch the full durability test for yourself and see: As usual, it all starts with a screen...

It's time to unbox the new Apple iPhone 15 Pro (we already did the Max). Just like the bigger phone, the Pro ships with a single item - a USB-C cable. As far as those go, this one is a quality, braided unit. Before we come back to the inevitable comparisons with the Pro Max, let's take a good appreciative glance at the new iPhone 15 Pro. Perhaps it's the years of glossy, razor-like iPhone Pro models before it, but the subtle, lightly-curved new device looks distinguishable in a positive way. At around 19 grams lighter, it also feels like a smaller phone than before. We can thank...

You can't have missed the reports that certain iPhone 15 Pro series phones have been found to overheat. People have been complaining about hot-running Pro models since they launched. Now, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has released a note, concluding that the A17 Pro chipset isn't to blame for the overheating but rather compromises Apple made in the design of the thermal system. The A17 Pro is built on TSMC's advanced new 3nm node, which is very efficient, but apparently still outputs more heat than the phone can dissipate. Apple's efforts to make the new iPhone Pro models lighter is the...

Xiaomi is already clearing the legal hurdles before launching its 14 series, and the Pro member of the lineup just got certified by 3C. The smartphone with model number 23116PN5BC will support 120W wired charging, just like two of its predecessors. The appearance on 3C (Chinese Compulsory Certification) means the phone passed mandatory testing and moved another step towards market availability. We already learned the Xiaomi 14 is coming with 90W charging, which is an upgrade over the 13 series, but apparently, the manufacturer is okay with sticking with 120W for the Pro...
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max unveiled a couple of weeks ago feature Action Button, which replaced the mute switch and can perform multiple actions. However, according to MacRumors, next year's iPhone 16 series will also come with a capacitive button, internally called "Capture Button" and codenamed "Project Nova." The publication claims that this capacitive Capture Button will be located on the iPhone's right-side frame where the Power Button is positioned, albeit lower, where the mmWave cutout is on the iPhone 15 models. And since the Capture Button is placed where the mmWave...
Today, Xiaomi unleashed the 13T series and we have both new phones in for review. We unboxed the Pro, now it's time to unpack the Xiaomi 13T. Looking inside the retail box reveals one of the differences between the 13T and the Pro - the latter ships with a 120W charger, while the 13T gets a 67W brick to match its highest supported speed. It's nothing to scoff at, the 67W charger will bring the 13T's 5,000mAh battery from zero to 100% in 42 minutes We have the Black Xiaomi 13T with a shiny glass back. It's slippery and reflective and it immediately catches every dust particle...
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A34 in March, and we expect the Galaxy A35 to arrive during the same time next year. There's expectedly no word from Samsung about the Galaxy A35, but Dutch publication GalaxyClub has revealed some camera details about this smartphone. Samsung Galaxy A34 The publication claims the Samsung Galaxy A35 will come with a 50MP primary camera - an upgrade over the Galaxy A34's 48MP unit in terms of resolution. The primary camera will likely be joined by ultrawide and macro units, but it's unclear if those will get any upgrades. The Galaxy A34 features a 13MP...
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S23 FE has been leaking extensively in recent weeks, so much so that it pretty much seems like not one day can go by without a new one. Today, it's one of the most important details that got outed, and that's the phone's price. We're talking about its price in the US, which probably won't directly translate well into how much Samsung will ask for it in other places. For the US, today's rumor has the recommended retail price at $599. That should transform into at least €699 in the EU, if not more - for comparison's sake, the S23 is $749 in the US but €949 in the...

It also looks and feels different from the shiny razor-edged iPhone...
Samsung silently launched its latest Galaxy A-series members with the Galaxy A05 and Galaxy A05s. Both new phones feature 6.7-inch LCDs with HD+ resolution on the A05 and FHD+ resolution on the A05s.

Google is announcing the Pixel 8 duo on October 4. We already know what the phone would look like, and reports suggested a price increase in Continental Europe. Today, the alleged cost of the phone in the United Kingdom and the United States also popped up online, and one of the leaks also had key specs of the two phones. The Pixel 8 will start from £699/$699 and will have 8 GB RAM. The Pixel 8 Pro is said to be £999 in the UK but only $899 in the US with its new LTPO OLED screen. The Pixel Watch 2 would cost £349. The basic Pixel 8 is clearly a mild improvement over the predecessor...
No prizes for guessing who the champion in our trending chart is this week - the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max is still going strong in the week it went on sale. However the family monopoly was broken by Xiaomi, who introduced the Redmi Note 13 family. We have the Pro+ member of that lineup in second, followed by the Pro in third. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra got boosted by all the comparison to the leader and ended up fourth as the iPhone 15 Pro is down to fifth this week. We then have the vanilla Redmi Note 13, followed by the vanilla iPhone 15 in seventh. Then we have the most popular...

In a past installment we looked at the history of the memory card. The microSD emerged as the clear victor, but it might soon follow MMC and Memory Stick into the great beyond, at least as far as smartphones are concerned. These days a microSD slot is a rare sight. Even SIM cards are starting to sweat as Apple is sticking with its eSIM-only approach that started last year. Yes, it’s only in the US for now, but that seems more because of limited eSIM support by carriers globally than anything else, Apple’s preference seems clear – no card slots! And yes, we know that Apple wasn’t the first...
Last week’s poll leaves no secrets as to which of the new iPhone 15 models is the most popular – sure, it’s expensive, the periscope camera is an unknown and the older models are still competitive, but the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the one to have from this generation. Regardless of why it happened, the switch to USB-C is a big deal (especially with USB 3.1 speeds). The lighter build due to the switch to titanium matters too. And that longer lens on the tele camera addresses a long-standing shortcoming of Apple’s expensive flagship. And just as importantly, these are not things that you get...
Given the intensity of leaks regarding the trio of Samsung Galaxy Fan Edition devices in the last couple of weeks, the announcement date can't be too far. And the company's seemingly innocent misstep confirms our suspicion. The Argentinian branch posted an image showing all three products - the Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Buds FE. Moreover, the published image came with a description, naming all three devices, so one could argue that Samsung has already announced them. Of course, a proper unveiling is due as this leak didn't give out any new information. It just...
