Realme P4 Pro in for review

Today, we have with us the new Realme P4 Pro. The P4 Pro continues Realme's breakneck speed of launching devices, with the P3 Pro just being announced earlier this year in February. The P4 Pro's claim to fame is the dual chip design. The company is using the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 that we saw on the Realme 15 Pro and pairing it with what it calls Hyper Vision AI Chip. The Hyper Vision chip works alongside the GPU on the Snapdragon chip to increase the frame rate in games and video applications. The P4 Pro otherwise has very similar specifications to the Realme...

Weekly poll: do you still have your ringer on or is your phone on vibrate all the time?

A long, long time ago, polyphonic ringtones were a noteworthy feature. Years later, the iPhone ringtone (Marimba) became instantly recognizable. Before that it was the Nokia Tune. Even to this day smartphone makers put a lot of effort into making ringtones – e.g. Samsung rented out a concert hall to add Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons for One UI 8. But do people still leave their ringer on? Do you? Speaking of Apple, it recently removed the Ring/Silent switch, which was present even on the very first iPhone. It replaced it with an Action Button and Camera Control. Similarly, OnePlus axed its...

Weekly poll results: the Honor Magic V5 is headed for a strong launch

The Honor Magic V5 is pricey but worth it for many voters in last week’s poll. The phone’s popularity could rise even higher, if it gets good reviews. As we write this, the V5 is preparing to launch in its first European market – that will be on August 12, Tuesday. We still don’t know the pricing, so the nearly 14% of voters who think this foldable is too expensive may reconsider. Or they may be proven right, we will check back on Tuesday. Interestingly, of those not interested in the V5, several commented that it’s because they already have a Magic V3 and are quite happy with it....

Deals: Galaxy Z Fold7 gets its first discount, Pixel 9a, 9 and 9 Pro also get price cuts

Samsung’s new foldables launched only a couple of weeks ago, while Google’s Pixel 9 series will be replaced with the 10-series later this month. Let’s have a closer look at their prices. This might not last long, but the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 got its first discount – the 512GB model, only in Jet Black, is just under $2,000 now – that makes it a bit cheaper than the 256GB MSRP. Alternatively, you can get a gift card but then there’s no discount – the 256GB model is $2,000, the 512GB one is $2,120, but you score a $200 Amazon Gift Card, so the effective price is lower. If you don’t want...

A Realme 15 Pro Game of Thrones Limited Edition is coming

The Realme 15 Pro went official last month, and now it seems like Realme is working on a Game of Thrones Limited Edition version of the device. This was just certified for sale in Malaysia by SIRIM alongside the normal Realme 15 Pro, revealing that both variants will be for sale in the country in the near future. The themed edition is expected to have the exact same specs as the normal model, but of course it should be heavily Game of Thrones themed, from the design of the back to the software - and we wouldn't be surprised to see some GoT themed trinkets thrown in the (presumably...

IDC: Global tablet shipments grow by 13% in Q2, Apple leads the way

According to the latest report from the International Data Company (IDC), global tablet shipments grew by 13% during the April-June (Q2) period, reaching 38.3 million units. The growing shipment volume was largely driven by replacement cycles, new device launches, and state subsidies in China. Several brands also stockpiled inventory in anticipation of tariffs, which also played a key role in the rising shipments. Apple led the global tablet market in Q2 with 12.7 million shipments and a 33% market share. Cupertino’s base iPad (2025) was the key driver for the brand, which saw a 2.4%...

The Galaxy S26 Ultra's RAM type revealed

Renowned Samsung insider Ice Universe shared the RAM details of the upcoming S26 Ultra in a post on X. He shared that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X RAM, the same type as the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It's unclear if the capacity will change as that hasn't been upgraded since the first Galaxy S20 Ultra in 2020. Now, 12GB is more than enough, and it's unlikely that you'll run out of RAM on your phone under normal circumstances. But in recent years, competing Android flagships have normalized 16 GB of RAM as a base, and some go as high as 24 GB. So, if the S26 Ultra will...

Huawei comes up with an unusual solution for Mate 80's cooling fan

We've seen a bunch of mainstream smartphones with cooling fans so far, most recently the Oppo K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro, and it seems like Huawei wants to outfit the upcoming Mate 80 with such a contraption as well. But the Chinese company has gone a different route compared to its competitors, by integrating the fan into the phone's large circular camera island - in the lower half of it, specifically. The air intake outlet thus sits on the side of the camera island, not on the side of the phone itself. It definitely sounds like a very interesting design, and it's one that Huawei...

Back in June we heard that Samsung was working on two pairs of more affordable TWS earbuds, and the cheaper of the two, the Galaxy Buds Core, have already been quietly launched. That leaves the Galaxy Buds3 FE, due to be placed in between the Buds Core and the Buds3 in the Korean company's portfolio. A couple of days ago a certification revealed that the Buds3 FE would have much better battery life than the original Buds FE, and today the company has listed these on its website for Latin America.

So when your public reels and posts are reposted by someone else, they're recommended to that person's followers, even if those people don't follow you. Thus, you have "a new opportunity to...

OnePlus 15 to come with a radical design change

The upcoming OnePlus 15 will massively switch things up in the design department compared to its predecessor, the OnePlus 13. That is the latest rumor out of China, which is claiming that the next flagship OnePlus will give up on the huge circular camera island. Instead, the OnePlus 15 will have a rounded-corner rectangle-shaped island, positioned in the top left part of its rear. Thus, it will be very similar to the island employed by the recently launched OnePlus 13T and OnePlus 13s. OnePlus 13s The OnePlus 15 is also rumored to give up on the Hasselblad co-branding, and feature...
