Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra vs. Google Pixel 10 Pro XL

In the market for a big-screen Android flagship? If so, it's nearly impossible not to come across the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra or the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL. The newly announced Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL are two different worlds, or just the two opposite ends of the spectrum called Android, if you wish. One represents a philosophy built around heavy customizations and heaps upon heaps of features (S26 Ultra), while the other represents Google's take on the Android experience (Pixel 10 Pro XL). That doesn't mean there are no proprietary features on the Pixel, but...

vivo X300 Ultra gets disassembled in a very thoroughly detailed video

vivo launched the X300 Ultra last week, and if you have been curious to take a look at this monster of a camera phone's insides, you're in luck. The Chinese YouTube channel WekiHome has taken one apart, and the full disassembly is shown in the video embedded below, complete with details about each and every component. Of course, it's in Chinese, but try the auto-translated captions, they are surprisingly good (at least for English). This device is, as you may already know, vivo's all-out camera-centric flagship for 2026, and unlike its predecessors, it will also be available...

iPhone Fold may arrive earlier than recently rumored

The iPhone Fold (or Ultra) has widely been reported to finally become official this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. However, recent rumors have claimed that it wouldn't actually start shipping right away - Apple would announce it at the same event as the Pros, but those would become available in late September as usual, while the Fold would take a few more weeks to actually arrive in stores according to one source. Another source claimed it might only be released in December. However, Apple seems to be doing all it can to have the iPhone Fold's arrival fully...

Honor Earbuds 4 unboxing and hands-on

What do you need out of your EDC (everyday carry) earbuds? Monster battery life? Is 46 hours good enough? Active noise cancellation? We'd say up to 50dB of noise reduction is great! Strong sound quality? The Honor Earbuds 4 gives you dual titanium-coated drivers. Smart features? You get both press and swipe controls, like on some much more expensive offerings. Not bad. Now the price? Roughly $50-$70 (€45–€70), though they're not available everywhere - currently in the Middle East and China. Unboxing the buds, you get three pairs of rubber eartips in different sizes. You have a...

Notification Rules could make Android alerts even more flexible

Android’s notification management system is already quite advanced and flexible, but it might be getting some additional smarts pretty soon.

Weekly deals: the Galaxy S26 series comes with gift cards, Pixel 9 series units resurface

There were no new major launches in the US, so we will focus on the recently released Galaxy S26 series. Meanwhile, the previous generation Pixel phones have resurfaced. The S26 flagships are in an intermediary period – they are too new for straight discounts, but it has been a month since they arrived, so they need a sweetener – the top dog, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, is paired with a $200 gift card from Amazon. If you pick the 512GB model, you can also get a $300 bonus on trade-ins. To help you pick the best phone for you, we have a Galaxy S26 Ultra vs. iPhone 17 Pro Max article....

It has been just a couple of weeks since the first discounts for the Galaxy S26 series and now we’re seeing even bigger price cuts.

Weekly poll: is the vivo X300 Ultra a phone that you can see yourself buying?

The vivo X300 Ultra was officially unveiled on Monday with plans to ship it in China first and expand to the global markets soon after. Yes, the X Ultra is going wide for the first time. So, are you tempted? In China, the base 12/256GB model costs CNY 7,000 and started shipping on Friday. This converts to $1,020 / £775 / €885 / ₹95,000. These won’t be the actual prices of the X300 Ultra on the global markets, of course, those will be revealed later. And, again, we can’t use a previous model as context since neither the X100 Ultra nor the X200 Ultra was available globally. But a vivo...

Weekly poll results: the Galaxy A57 is interesting but pricey, the Galaxy A37 gets shown the door

There may be trouble brewing on the horizon for the Galaxy A57 and A37 – the results from last week’s poll are in and the consensus is that the two phones are overpriced. And that there is some serious competition in the mid-range market. Luckily, Galaxy A phones don’t stay at MSRP for long, so the first issue will correct itself soon enough. If it hasn’t already – we’re seeing deals in some markets. Zooming in on the Samsung Galaxy A57, there is interest there, but it is strongly contingent on a lower price or a good bundle deal. At least one person in the comments appreciated the thinner...

Check out the Galaxy Z Wide Fold's aspect ratio

Samsung is rumored to be launching a wider form factor Galaxy Z Fold this year alongside the Galaxy Z Fold8, which will keep the taller and narrower form factor of its predecessor. The "Wide Fold" was shown in some leaked renders last month, but it doesn't have an agreed upon name yet, we've heard it referred to as Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide in the past, and today it's the Galaxy Z Wide Fold. Regardless of its name, here are some images depicting its aspect ratio when unfolded. It's 4:3, which is very far from, and much wider than, the Fold7's 1.11:1 (or 3.33:3). So here's what that actually...

vivo starts teasing the T5 Pro, confirms its huge battery

The vivo T5 Pro first surfaced in February in an IMEI database, then in March we got two separate spec leaks, and today the brand is finally acknowledging that this phone exists and is coming soon. vivo's official X account for India shared the post you can see below, calling the T5 Pro "the ultimate powerhouse". That tagline is, of course, ridiculous - this isn't a top of the line device, so it's definitely not an ultimate anything. We wonder what the vivo X300 Ultra thinks about this marketing direction.
