If you've been wondering why our testing revealed the fact that the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold takes a whopping one hour and 36 minutes to fully charge, the answer is quite simple - but not great news. It turns out that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has the slowest wired charging support of all Pixel 9s. It tops out at just 21W. This unfortunate number has finally been confirmed directly by Google today. So with that context in mind, it's no surprise that the search giant's second foldable smartphone takes so long to charge. If you're wondering why Google would pull something like this,...
Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra will arrive this year with no vanilla model alongside them, according to multiple rumors. Today, the Book Cover Keyboard cases for both models have been leaked. The new keyboard has a dedicated Galaxy AI key, because it's 2024 and of course it does. This is housed next to the Alt key on the right side. It could be similar to the Windows Copilot key in terms of functionality, but more details aren't known at this point. AI key The AI key replaces the Lang key from previous Galaxy Tab keyboards. Samsung will, as always, offer two versions of...

Huawei shipped the first units of its first tri-fold Mate XT Ultimate earlier today in China and if you were left wondering whether the device would ever make its way outside of its home market then we have some good news! We can now confirm the Mate XT Ultimate will launch globally in Q1 2025. With a starting price of CNY 19,999 ($2,800/€2,550) in China, Mate XT is already one of the most expensive bits of tech you can purchase, and when we factor in the price fluctuations between China and the rest of the world, that cost could balloon to well over $3,000/€3,000 for international...
Every year, we hear some form of "the biggest update to the iPhone ever" and while it's accuracy varies standing across from you today is truly the biggest iPhone ever - the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Let's get the unboxing out of the way before we go on. You get a nice, braided USB-C cable and a SIM tool - enjoy them while you can, we have a feeling they might also be on their way out. Apple put a truly massive 6.9-inch screen in this year's Pro Max but this doesn't feel like a massive iPhone. That's because Apple also thinned the bezels and the upsizing doesn't feel as drastic. Still,...

The Xiaomi 15 is expected to launch in October as the first device powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. As we get closer to its unveiling, it's getting certified more and more, left and right. Today it's been spotted in the 3C database. This certification has confirmed the fact that the phone has 90W wired charging support. That is exactly the same as its predecessor, so there will be no upgrade to speak of in this regard. Unfortunately, this listing doesn't go into any detail about the wireless charging support. That may very well stay identical to the Xiaomi...
Huawei announced one of the most over-the-top devices in recent memory with its Mate XT - a tri-fold smartphone with a 10-inch folding screen that blurs the line between smartphone and tablet. We were naturally intrigued with its form factor and got the chance to test one out for a brief period. The first thing that struck us with the Mate XT is its thinness. At 3.6mm in its unfolded state, Mate XT feels impossibly slender and that’s even more striking when compared to some of the mainstream horizontal foldables. Here it is next to a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and a Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold...
The Find X8 series from Oppo is expected to launch in China sometime next month. Past rumors suggest the device will feature an overhauled all-flat design and a "Quick Button" which should mimic the iPhone 16 series’ new Capture Button. There’s a new bit of comparison with the iPhone 16 series in the way of an image showcasing the Find X8’s display bezels. iPhone 16 Pro (top) and Oppo Find X8 (bottom) OnePlus founder and Oppo Chief Product Officer, Pete Lau shared an image of what appears to be the Oppo Find X8 next to an iPhone 16 Pro. If you can’t tell which is which – the iPhone...
