At least the Redmi Note 15 Pro is getting a 4G-only iteration, as revealed today through its EEC certification. If the Pro model gets a 4G-only option, we assume the lower-end choices will too.

Apple's foldable iPad now rumored to be delayed

While a lot of rumors have recently converged upon the fact that Apple's first foldable iPhone is coming in late 2026, or perhaps early 2027 at the latest, a foldable iPad - or Mac - with an 18.8-inch screen also used to be talked about a lot.

But all of that has changed now, and a new report from GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu claims we'll be waiting a lot for this device to actually arrive. Specifically, Pu, who's well versed in Apple-related information, says the larger foldable has been...

Infinix Hot 60 Pro unboxing and hands-on

This is the Infinix Hot 60 Pro, and it's the more conventional phone in the new series. While its sibling, the 60 Pro+, is a bit thinner and curvier, the Hot 60 Pro is nearly as thin and light, but has a flat design that some will like better. The regular Hot 60 Pro also has a few hardware advantages over its Pro+ counterpart - you get a dedicated AI assistant button under the volume and power keys, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Weekly poll results: Apple Watches surprisingly popular, Google and Samsung need to step up their game

While smartphones have converged on pretty much the same formula, there is a wide variety of smart watch/band/ring/etc. devices out there. And the results from last week’s poll are quite interesting. Most of our readers who use a smart wearable have an Apple Watch. We are pretty sure that most of our readers have Android phones, but apparently, they don’t use smart wearables all that much. That aside, Wear OS is surprisingly low – almost half the popularity of Apple’s watchOS watches. Other advanced smartwatch platforms (e.g. Huawei) are also more popular than the platform that is...

Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ in for review

When you think of Galaxy S25 Edge alternatives, your mind doesn't immediately jump to the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+, but maybe it should. This phone is a much closer match to the thin Galaxy than you'd think. At just 5.95mm, it's only slightly thicker than the S25 Edge (5.8mm). The Infinix is lighter, though, at just 155g, and it has a substantially larger 5,160mAh battery. What should sting Galaxy fans more is that the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ also has faster 45W charging.
