Back in June, YouTube announced that it was running a "small experiment" globally where it urged a tiny subset of people using ad blockers to disable them if they want to view content on the platform. This is no longer a "small experiment". YouTube now says it's launching a global effort to crack down on ad blockers and encourage users to either allow ads or pay for YouTube Premium (where there are no ads). This comes straight from YouTube communications manager Christopher Lawton. When you run into YouTube's ad blocker block, you'll see a message like the one in the screenshot...

This week Xiaomi launched its new 14 series and even though they'll remain exclusive to China initially the interest they sparked is enormous. The 14 Pro comfortably topped our trending chart, opening a comfortable gap to second-placed Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The Galaxy A54 rounded up the podium, much like it did last week. The Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max retained fourth, while behind it the Galaxy S23 FE and Redmi Note 12 also retained formation. The other member of the new Xiaomi pair - the vanilla 14 placed seventh, edging out the Galaxy S21 FE. Redmi 12 kept its ninth position from...
Economies of scale mean that once a product becomes popular, it costs less too. But that causes a Catch-22 – it’s difficult for an expensive product to become popular. Right now that is the problem facing foldables, especially the horizontal variety. Last week’s poll shows that the OnePlus Open is a very promising phone. It might even be the best in class that the markets outside of China have seen. And yet... well, the pie chart speaks for itself, 40% of voters have interest in the Open, but find it too pricey. To be fair, it costs less than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold5 (unless you get in...

At the beginning of October, following many months of rumors and leaks, Samsung finally made the Galaxy S23 FE official. And today it's available in the US. The price Samsung announced during the unveiling was $599, and yet - if you go to Samsung.com now and try to buy one, you'll notice a sneaky price hike. The phone is listed as $629.99. Sure, $30 isn't much, but this device was made official 23 days ago, and that's more than $1 extra per day. Luckily, if you want an S23 FE but don't want to pay Samsung's inflated price, Amazon comes to the rescue, as it's offering the phone for...

Much like last week we have a Samsung phone topping our trending chart only it's the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which despite being almost 9 months old now ended up as the most popular phone in our database. Behind it is an even older phone - the Galaxy S21 FE was prominently featured in several sales events and people were clearly looking for a refresher on its specs. Then there's the ever popular Galaxy A54 to complete an all-Samsung podium. Apple's iPhone 15 Pro Max rose to fourth and pushed the Galaxy S23 FE all the way down to fifth. Redmi Note 12 leads the Google Pixel 8 Pro in sixth...
Xiaomi unveiled HyperOS this week - its overhaul of Mi OS and it got a lot of attention. The new OS will premiere on the Xiaomi 14 series, which is coming soon. We also saw leaked screenshots from HyperOS and they reveal a slight design refresh but not an overhaul. The Galaxy S24 series display specs were revealed. It looks like the non-Ultra models will finally get LTPO panels, bringing a truly variable refresh rate to the Galaxy S24 and S24+. All three will have a peak brightness of 2,500 nits - which is already behind recent phones like the new OnePlus Open and its 2,800 nits - but at...
Samsung’s rugged XCover line dates back to 2010 and started off with feature phones, but even when it switched to smartphones it was never a premium line. For tough + premium there was the Galaxy S Active line. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active was introduced in 2013. This was the first S-phone with an IP rating for dust and water resistance – IP67, meaning “dust tight” and “immersion up to 1m/3.3ft” for half an hour. This was a year before the Galaxy S5, which had both an IP67 rating and a removable back cover (though as you may remember the S6 dropped the IP rating before the S7 reintroduced...
The Google Photos app has started automatically backing up all RAW images, reports 9to5Google. On a Pixel 8 that previously captured RAW pictures with the Pixel Camera app, the publication spotted Google Photos displaying a banner saying, "New RAW photos will appear in the Photos view and will now be backed up." The existing RAW images on the device won't be uploaded automatically. When you click a RAW photo, a JPEG version is also captured and uploaded automatically to Google Photos. That's not ideal if you take a lot of pictures in RAW since RAW files are larger than JPEG and could...

The Google Pixel 8 is now on sale and shipping and we have a hands-on of the compact phone and its bigger counterpart. But while we're working on the full review, we thought we'd do a quick unboxing as well. The Pixel 8 ships with a USB-C to USB-A adapter and a USB-C cable. Google doesn't include a charger in the box and if you want to get the official 30W unit, it will cost you €29. We have the Pixel 8 in Hazel, though it's more of a concrete or oil paint grey color. It's an interesting shade that makes us think of the M Brooklyn Grey Metallic paint job on the new BMW 3...

It will allegedly be offered in white and black glass versions, as well as a red vegan leather option. As you can see from the image, the camera...
