Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 this week. It's based on a 4nm node, and gets the older Kryo CPU instead of the Oryon core found on the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

Google announced the Pixel 9a last month, then promptly proceeded to delay its release due to an unknown issue. The phone should finally be on store shelves next week, on April 10 to be specific. Ahead of that, YouTuber PBKreviews has somehow managed to get his hands on a unit, and take it apart in one of his now-traditional teardown videos. So if you've always wondered what's inside the Pixel 9a, now's your chance to find out. Have a look: The phone is allocated a repairability score of 7.5 out of 10, where 10 would be the most repairable and 0 would be the least. Its internal...
We are experiencing a renaissance of compact flagships of sorts lately, so if you are in the market for a small premium smartphone, you are in luck. In markets such as the US, however, the selection of small flagships isn't big, but two smartphones consistently pop up - the Samsung Galaxy S25 and the Google Pixel 9. The two cost about the same in the US, while in Europe, the Galaxy S25 is a bit more expensive. So, it's only natural to wonder which one is the better deal. On paper, both are top-tier devices from their respective OEMs, both are similar in size, and both promise long...
We were going to poll this sooner, but Google took over a week to decide when the Pixel 9a will be available – April 10 is the date (Thursday next week) for the US, Canada and the UK. Then the mid-ranger will expand to 23 more countries in Europe on April 14, followed by an Asia-Pacific rollout on April 16. First, let’s talk about the price – the base 8/128GB model will match the launch price of last year’s Pixel 8a (pricing info on the 8/256GB upgrade is yet to be revealed). This means $500 in the US, €550 in Europe and ₹53,000 in India. [#InlinePriceWidget,13478,1#] We have a Pixel...

Last week’s poll shows that the new Poco F7 series brings an appealing pair of phones, but the pricing is on the high side for what is a value-for-money brand. It doesn’t help that there’s no vanilla model or that the Pro got more expensive in some regions. The Poco F7 Ultra proved to be more popular than its sibling. However, it also feels the pricing issue more keenly. Of course, Xiaomi is no stranger to discounts and promotions, but you will need to be patient. The case of the Poco F7 Pro is an interesting one – it’s closer to the traditional price points for a Poco phone and a...
Admittedly, Samsung didn't handle the One UI 7 update very well, as many users were left waiting for the stable update more than half a year after the release of Android 15. However, the latest report coming from SamMobile suggests Samsung will try to make it right with the next iteration of One UI 8. According to the rumor, Samsung is planning to launch its Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 phones with One UI 8 on board, based on Android 16. Google typically releases the annual Android upgrade in the second half of the year, and we expect the Galaxy foldables to arrive in late July to early...
