In another place and another time, the Apple iPhone 8 Plus would have been one of the hottest things around. Swathed in hype, causing a stir, bringing the free ride of the competition's flagships to an abrupt and painful halt.
Oppo has pulled out some true technical wizardly on this one. Not only that, but the body, despite its thinness, feels very strong and solid with practically no flex. The same goes for the hinge, which is confidence-inspiring.
The iPhone SE is dead; long live the iPhone E! Apple has replaced the more affordable SE line with the new iPhone 16e - a controversial choice as this new device is neither as compact nor as affordable.
The Reno13 takes on the role of the more compact sibling this time around and offers a smaller 6.59-inch display compared to the Reno13 Pro and last year's Reno12. It's now higher resolution
Samsung's popular Galaxy A56 mid-range smartphone is here, and it brings some notable upgrades over its predecessor, the Galaxy A55, without going up the price ladder. In fact, someone might even argue that the A56 brings better value per dollar compared to the vanilla Galaxy S24 and S25.
What's new in the Galaxy A36 other than its "awesome intelligence" you may ask? Well, besides its slightly larger 6.7-inch display and the updated software, you will also get 45W fast wired charging and a different hardware platform with a minor bump in GPU performance. That's it. Mostly.
The A26 also gets a bigger 6.7-inch display (up from 6.5") and improved materials. You will find Gorilla Glass Victus+ protective sheets on the front and back. Additionally, the A26 gets proper IP67 ingress protection, far better than standard splash-proofed phones in the same price bracket.
The Inifnix Note 50 Pro declares its premium status right from the get-go. It uses aerospace-grade aluminum for the frame, metal rings for its cameras, meticulously sandblasted finish on everything that's not a screen, and the maker even brags with stainless steel cooling system on the inside.
The display has grown a bit since last year and is now 6.3 inches instead of 6.1. It is brighter as well. All the while, the device's overall footprint hasn't changed much, and neither its thickness nor weight has been affected. The latter point is particularly impressive since the Pixel 9a has the biggest battery out of any pixel to date at 5,100 mAh.
The second CMF phone is here, and it is a Pro model to boot. Whether a vanilla model is on the way is beyond the scope of this review, but it's clear the new phone aims higher than its predecessor. Nothing keeps growing its portfolio, and we are here for it.
The Xperia 1 VII takes heavily after the Mark VI model and it will take some serious staring to spot the physical differences in the new model. The frame chamfer is now gone and some sensors have been shifted around, but that's about it - isn't tradition and continuity the most Sony thing ever?The most notable generational change is the new ultrawide camera,...
The Edge 60 Pro comes with a large Si/C 6,000mAh battery and support for 90W wired and 15W wireless charging. It boots Android 15 and integrates the full suite of Moto AI features.
The Motorola Edge 60 is a great-looking smartphone - it comes with a quad-curved screen design, Pantone colors and a choice of different finishes for the back panel. It is IP68/IP69-rated with military-grade durability in extreme environments. It packs a 6.67-inch P-OLED screen with 1,220p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 1B colors, and HDR10+ support. The Ed...
The global GT 7 (notice the space) has a slightly smaller 6.78-inch display with a lower 120Hz refresh rate. Instead of the Dimensity 9400+ inside the Chinese model, the GT 7 gets a Dimensity 9400e. And while the Chinese model only has a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide, the GT 7 we have here is rocking an extra 50MP 2x telephoto camera on the back. It ...
A proper upgrade can be seen on the ultrawide camera. It's another unit of the same sensor that is used here as well, replacing the 1/2.0" imager in the old model's setup. The 200MP 1/1.4" sensor on the 85mm telephoto didn't really call for an upgrade so it's been kept the same. It's really more like three 'main' cameras on the back of this Ultra, joined by ...
The Galaxy S25 Edge's design is the centerpiece feature, but it's not fundamentally different from the rest of the Galaxy S25 family members. The device has a flat back, flat side frame and oval corners. The display on the front has razor-thin bezels and a minimalist camera island on the back.
These stylish denim shorts feature a unique, distressed design that gives them a rugged, vintage-inspired look. The faded and worn-in effect creates an eye-catching contrast with the dark denim base, while the subtle floral embroidery along the pockets adds a touch of feminine flair. The high-waisted silhouette and slightly loose fit provide a comfortable, f...
