Weekly poll: which of the three Redmi Note 15 models would you have?

Is it just us or did Xiaomi get stingy with the cameras on the latest Redmi Note series? The vanilla model and two Pros were unveiled earlier this week in China – what do you think about them? Redmi Note 15 series The Redmi Note 15 has a 50MP camera with a teeny-tiny 1/2.88” sensor and a 2MP depth sensor on the back – that’s it. To be fair, that is in line with what the Redmi Note 14 had in China, but the global model packed a 108MP main and an 8MP ultra-wide on the back. Anyway, this model has a 6.77” 120Hz 12-bit OLED display on the front and is powered by the Snapdragon 6...

Weekly poll results: Pixel 10 and 10 Pro score high, 10 Pro XL not so much, Pro Fold in trouble

Last week’s poll shows that the four Pixel 10 models will go on different trajectories – and not all of them are pointed towards success. A broad view of the series shows that price is a concern – Google didn’t raise the prices compared to the 9-series, but many people have trouble justifying the cost. Even though availability is still limited to only select markets, this didn’t prove to be a huge issue. Google’s battery woes (most visible in the a-series) have given it a bad reputation. Worse, the news that Pixel 10 phones will start to gradually restrict battery capacity and...

Deals: Samsung Galaxy S25 series, S24 FE discounted, OnePlus 13 and 13R also on sale

On Thursday next week, Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S25 FE and the new Galaxy Tab S11 flagship slates. There are no official details for the S25 FE yet, but we’ve seen leaks and we can guess that it will be an evolution of last year’s S24 FE with a new chipset. Speaking of the Galaxy S24 FE, it started at $650 for the base 8/128GB model and we can expect the S25 FE to cost the same or thereabouts – plus some pre-order perks, of course (perhaps the new Galaxy Buds3 FE). Of course, the old S24 FE no longer costs as much as it did back then – you can grab one for $460 right now. But should...

Deals: Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite arrives, Poco F7 Ultra, Nothing phones get price cuts

Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite this week as a replacement for the Tab S6 Lite – a slate so successful that it was re-released twice. Still, it was time to move on and this is the new lower-end/mid-range tablet – it sits between Tab A and Tab S FE models. The company will announce new flagship tablets next week, but for now let’s focus on the Lite. Normally, it costs £350 for the base 6/128GB model and £400 for the 8/256GB upgrade with more RAM and storage (note: there is a microSD card slot). However, Amazon offers a £50 discount at checkout. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is...

TCL NxtPaper 60 Ultra 5G listed ahead of official IFA debut

TCL is getting ready to unveil a new smartphone at IFA in Berlin in the next few days, it seems. The device, called NxtPaper 60 Ultra 5G, has now been listed by Amazon Germany ahead of the official announcement. The listing tells us that the device has a 7.2-inch FHD+ NxtPaper screen with 120Hz refresh rate, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a "long lasting battery" that unfortunately isn't detailed any further. In the box you only get a USB-C cable, no charger. The phone runs Android 15, disappointingly since Android 16 was released by Google in June. Amazon is going to offer the...

This is Apple's magnetic Crossbody Strap for the iPhone 17 family

Apple is rumored to launch a new strap for its upcoming iPhone 17 family, due to be unveiled on September 9. Today a new leak shows us what it will look like. Note that the images below aren't leaked renders - they are renders created by an artist based on leaked information. The strap will work with Apple's iPhone 17 cases, which have long been rumored to have a couple of holes for it to run through. The strap has what is dubbed by the source of this leak as "an innovative system", whereby it features a flexible metal core that makes it fully magnetic across its entire length. At...

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE leaks again in all colors

Samsung is finally unveiling the Galaxy S25 FE on September 4 alongside the Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra. There is however plenty of time left for more leaks, and today we get a new one uncovering another round of official images and marketing materials. These show the device in all of its colors: Navy, Jetblack, White, and Icyblue. Navy is deemed to be the 'hero color' for this model, so expect to see it the most in Samsung's upcoming promotional campaigns for the Galaxy S25 FE. AI will be a big focus of the company's official materials, of course, with Circle to Search being...

Google Pixel 10 in for review

Google has begun shipping the first Pixel 10 pre-orders, and we've got the Pixel 10 in for review! Ours is the Indigo, and it's the loveliest shade of blue. Unsurprisingly, the Pixel 10 ships in a recycled paper box with nothing more than a USB-C cable. What is a bit surprising is the cameras. Google made a bold choice to incorporate a zoom camera in its base Pixel this year, and we're all for it! The 10.8MP 1/3.2-inch sensor (112mm, f/3.1, 5x) isn't as good, on paper, as the 48MP 1/2.55-inch (113mm, f/2.8, 5x) telephoto on the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL, but it's more than a welcome...

Some Nothing Phone (3) in-store demo units were showing fake camera samples

Nothing has landed itself in hot water – due to an oversight, according to company co-founder Akis Evangelidis. Here’s what happened: in-store demo units of the Nothing Phone (3) had pre-loaded sample images with the note “Judge for yourself. Here’s what our community has captured with Phone (3).” One small problem – those images weren’t captured with the Phone (3). And they weren’t taken by community members either for that matter. It was quickly discovered that the images in question come from stock photo marketplace Stills: person by the window, a full glass, rounded headlight, spiral...

LG is pushing Apple to use the iPad Pro's Tandem OLED tech in future iPhones

Apple's newest iPad Pros are using Tandem OLED display panels provided primarily by LG Display, and the Korean company has been trying to convince Apple to take the same tech and put it into future iPhones. It hasn't succeeded thus far, but according to a new report, Apple might incorporate Tandem OLED panels in the 2028 iPhones (so presumably the iPhone 20 family - or will that be XX?). No decision has been made by Apple so far, but of course LG would like the Cupertino company to choose this tech, since that would mean it would either be the sole supplier for displays for the...

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's battery capacity has just been confirmed through a certification

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra may have a huge camera island, according to the latest rumor from a few hours ago, but unfortunately the same cannot be said about its battery. While there have been a few rumors hoping for at least a 10% increase in capacity from the S25 Ultra's 5,000 mAh to 5,500 mAh, other rumors shot down the idea and they were apparently right. According to a new certification by China's Quality Certification Center, the S26 Ultra's battery has a rated capacity of 4,855 mAh. That's identical to the S25 Ultra's battery, which features an advertised typical...

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's US price leaks

The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE simply can't stop leaking. After a retailer listing from Europe yesterday, today we're treated to its purported pricing in the US. Again, this comes courtesy of some premature listings. They show the phone priced at $649.99 with 128GB of storage, and $709.99 with 256GB. Both of these variants have 8GB of RAM, and it seems like the US at least won't be getting the S25 FE with 512GB of storage. The device is shown in four color options: Jet Black, Navy, Ice Blue, and Titanium. The prices are in line with what the Galaxy S24 FE went for when it launched, so...

iPhone 17 Pro reverse wireless charging probably isn't happening

Yesterday a rumor (in Chinese) claimed the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max would get reverse wireless charging support, in a first for any Apple smartphone ever. Don't take out the champagne just yet, though. Google just launched the Pixel 10 family with Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets - this is essentially the same tech that Apple uses under the MagSafe brand, since Apple practically open-sourced it a few years back in a bid to get it to be the industry standard, which it now is. So, it's the same thing but under a different name, and yet Google had to leave out...

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE gets listed in Europe, full specs and official images outed

The Galaxy S25 FE still isn't official but it's been leaking like crazy over the past few weeks, and today we have what seems to be a premature listing of the device online by MediaMarkt in Portugal. The listing unfortunately doesn't come with a price, but does confirm the phone's specs. It has a 6.7-inch 1080x2340 Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus+ on top, the Exynos 2400 chipset at the helm, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage - though more storage options should be available. The handset boasts a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 12 MP ultrawide,...

A teardown of the latest Google Play Services beta app has revealed this fact, actually confirming an initial report from almost a year ago. Clearly then, it's taking some time, but it's still coming. And when the functionality does arrive, here's a screen you'll see on your Android smartphone when attempting to share something with an iPhone while not being signed into your Google account: So, interestingly, it seems...
