Google has the habit of dropping an 'a' model some time later than the regular flagship duo and such is the case now with the Pixel 8a. Sure, if you already have the Pixel 8, you don't need to be contemplating much around this time, but if you're in the market for a new Pixel, things get more complicated. So we figured we'd put together a summary of how the 8a is similar to its more esteemed stablemate and how the two differ, possibly helping you decide for yourself.

No, this isn’t a smartphone – but it does run Android. Meet the Xreal Beam Pro, which is meant to be the perfect companion for the company’s Air AR glasses. It’s certainly a huge upgrade over the original Beam. If you’re not familiar, Xreal makes normal-looking glasses that have displays built in. They have no processing power on board, instead they are driven by a smartphone over USB-C (or a computer). Alternatively, you could plug in the Beam to provide power and handle wireless video casting. The Xreal Beam Pro is so much more. It runs “nebulaOS”, which is Android 14 tuned for AR...
Huawei sold the most foldable smartphones in the first quarter of this year (from January to March), according to a new report released by Counterpoint Research. This is a pretty shocking revelation considering how insignificant Huawei's sales have been in most parts of the world for the past few years, ever since the US government decided to cut its access to Google services. Most people we assume think about Samsung when asked about foldables, but despite that, the Korean company only managed to hit the No.2 spot in the same period of time. What's more, Samsung's sales of foldables...
Samsung has semi-unveiled its first smart ring, aptly named Galaxy Ring, back in February at MWC, and its full introduction is expected to happen in July at the company's next Unpacked event. We've already told you about its battery capacities (differing per size) as well as rumored pricing. Now an APK teardown of the Samsung Find app has revealed a few more details about the ring. It will have a Lost mode, which will let you make the ring blink in order to find it. Samsung Galaxy Ring's Lost mode in the Samsung Find app For this, the Galaxy Ring will employ an LED light.

Sony’s PSVR 2 headset launched back in February 2023 with a $549.99/€599.99 price tag and compatibility with only one device - Sony’s own PlayStation 5 console.

The Beats Solo Buds were announced back in April alongside the Beats Solo 4 headphones, and now it's almost time for the TWS earbuds to go on sale. You still have a few weeks to wait, however, for they will be available to order starting on June 18. They will then be released on June 20. That's in line with Beats' previously announced launch timeframe of "June", so everything seems to be on track. The Beats Solo Buds will set you back $79.99. For that amount of cash you're getting an insane amount of battery life - up to 18 hours on one charge. With Beats' Fast Fuel you can also add...
The newest additions to Honor’s TWS earbud lineup are here with the Earbuds X7 and Earbuds A. Both new buds ditch the silicone tips seen on most competitors and instead, opt for a half-in-ear design. They are also equipped with 10mm dynamic drivers and pair over Bluetooth 5.3. The only differences between the two pairs seem to be their colors and charging cases with the one on the X7 being slightly taller and wider.

The flagship killers have, for the past few years, kept growing and growing - both in specs but also in price.

There are three versions of the Xiaomi Redmi Pad so far – regular, Pro and SE – but none of them offers 5G connectivity. That will change soon as CEO Lei Jun shared that a 5G variant of the Redmi Pad Pro is in the works and that has now appeared on TENAA as well. The slate has a model number 24074RPD2C with the “C” standing for China. Two other variants have been spotted: 24074RPD2G (Global) and 24074RPD2I (India). The 5G variant is supposed to have the same specs as the current Wi-Fi only model, except for the connectivity. This means a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, a 12.1” 120Hz IPS...

We’ve been hearing rumors the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch7 series will feature three versions with a new premium tier dubbed “Ultra”. But that might not be the branding that Samsung has settled on – the premium watch might be called “Samsung Galaxy Watch X” instead. That’s not all – the watch will compete head-to-head with the Apple Watch Ultra series (maybe that’s why Samsung wanted to move away from the “Watch7 Ultra” name) and diving will be a key factor. The Galaxy Watch X will reportedly be water resistant up to 100m (330ft), which is the same water resistance rating as the Apple...

The Poco F5 was a hit last year, so the new F6 has big shoes to fill. It was so popular, in fact, that it even overshadowed its sibling, the Poco F5 Pro, so the new F6 Pro also has a lot to prove. The phones are available in some regions starting today and the F6 will be available in India on the 29th. Are you interested in buying an F6 and which one? Poco F6 Let’s start with the vanilla model. The Poco F6 brings a flagship-grade chipset, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, replacing the 7+ Gen 2 of the F5. With a more powerful GPU on board, the company also thought to raise the screen...
Sony has always had a reputation for high quality but expensive products – and that is an apt description of the Xperia 1 VI, judging by the results and comments for last week’s poll. The poll also gauged interest in the Xperia 10 VI mid-ranger, but let’s start with the good news first... sorry, spoilers. Half of voters are interested in the Mark 6 flagship. The unique camera setup drew attention and so did the much-improved battery life. Speaking of, that was helped by the lower resolution of the display, but that caused arguments – is 1080p+ enough for a flagship? Did 4K ever make sense...
Week 21 is over and it was filled with announcements from various brands - Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme and Infinix. However, the most popular article from this week was about the distant iPhone 16 Pro duo. A recent report claimed the 16 Pro will bring the 15 Pro Max's 5x telephoto camera and the duo will get a new more capable ultrawide camera. Naturally, the Poco F6 series gets the second spot this week as the duo is highly-anticipated among Android fans. The two phones bring a couple of key improvements like new camera sensors, more powerful chipsets and faster charging. But judging by the...

Canalys' latest market report on the Southeast Asian smartphone market shows a healthy 12% growth year-on-year in the first quarter of this year. Analysts say it's the first sign of recovery after a rather difficult 2023. Smartphone manufacturers shipped 23.5 million units, but they are still below pre-2023 levels. One of the main driving forces of the Q1 success is Ramdan in some markets like Indonesia and Malaysia, while other companies like Transsion benefited from markets like Philippines and Indonesia where the sub-$100 segments saw a revival. In any case, Samsung is still in...
According to a source close that spoke to Korean publication TheElec, Samsung is once again betting on a single-chip strategy for its upcoming foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6. This report refutes earlier leaks suggesting Samsung is finally implementing the dual-chip strategy with its foldable handsets. However, it is quick to point out that the decision to go for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip instead of mixing it with the Exynos 2400 has nothing to do with performance concerns, and it has everything to do with cost-effectiveness. Developing a device using two different...

This March Apple was hit with a massive €1.8 billion fine ($2B) over a complaint initially filed by Spotify back in 2019. The complaint was simple – Apple is charging app makers a 30% tax when a user subscribes to their service for a year and 15% for subsequent years. That gave an unfair advantage to Apple Music over Spotify as the latter was forced to raise subscription costs to cover the tax. Apple isn’t going to just pay up, though. Bloomberg reports that Apple has filed its own suit with the EU’s General Court in Luxembourg to try and overturn the hefty fine. Apple suggests that the...
Infinix just launched a new addition to its Note 40 portfolio in the Philippines - meet the Infinix Note 40 5G. The new smartphone has 512 GB storage, the most of any phone in the series and more than the majority of its competitors.

At the back you get a 108 MP main camera and two auxiliary modules that serve little...

Today is the day – Realme is launching India’s first Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3. That phone is the Realme GT 6T and other than the chipset, this launch is notable because the powerful GT series had been conspicuously absent from India for two years.

The phone will be powered by the 7+ Gen 3, a recent release with the powerful Cortex-X4 prime core and a huge boost to GPU performance (and a small decrease in power usage). The chipset promises...

This is the Redmi Pad Pro and it's a big-screen tablet at an affordable price (starting from around $250). It ships with a single accessory - a USB-A to USB-C cable, but you can opt to equip it with a number of official accessories. The first is the Redmi Pad Pro Cover - a simple but rugged cover that can stand the tablet up in landscape mode. It's not as clever as the Pro Cover for the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4, but it does the job. Then there's the Redmi Pad Pro Keyboard, which has a robust and tactile keyboard that truly elevates the Redmi Pad Pro for multitasking. If...
According to a tipster on X, the iPhone SE 4 will be priced slightly higher than its predecessor, but Apple will aim for a price tag below $499. For context, the previous affordable iPhone started at $429. Keep in mind that we don't have solid evidence to back the new rumor, but if true, the US iPhone SE 4's price could go up 10%, getting close to $470. And if all goes to plan, the device will debut sometime in 2025. Perhaps using a more modern iPhone 14-inspired design and the inclusion of Face ID will justify the price hike. We can't know for sure, but it's been a long time since...

Sony's flagship also packs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a 5,000mAh battery that puts most other flagships to shame, and a cool, distinctive design.

So, the Google Pixel 8a costs $500, huh? Looking at the poll from last week, most people think that this is too expensive for a mid-ranger. And indeed it is, considering that the flagship Pixel 8 has been quite close to this price many times in the past. But not now, though. The Pixel 9 series is still a few months out, but the Pixel 8 is rather pricey right now and some colorways are almost out of stock. And the 8a is getting some deals. For example, Amazon is offering a $100 gift card with the purchase of a Google Pixel 8a. This can be spend on a case, a charger, headphones or...
Poco is planning to unveil The Poco F6 and F6 Pro at an event on May 23. We already know quite a bit about the design and specs of both phones. Still, it doesn't hurt to get some affirmation, and this time, it comes in the form of an unboxing video of the F6 Pro spotted on Dailymotion. The video doesn't seem official in any way and is even a bit shaky, hinting at its amateur nature. However, it all but confirms the earlier assumptions that the Poco F6 Pro is just a rebranded Redmi K70 for international markets. The two phones look the same and seem to share their core specs.

We've already seen leaks detailing the Razr 50 Ultra's specs and pricing, and today it's time to turn out attention to the non-Ultra Razr 50 - which, we should add, is likely to launch in some places like North America as the Razr 2024. This will allegedly come with a 6.9-inch pOLED folding screen with 1080x2640 resolution, and a 3.63-inch cover display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. That will definitely be the most obvious upgrade compared to its successor's 1.5-inch cover...
