The Powerbeats Fit are the successor to 2021’s Beats Fit Pro. They are the latest true wireless earbuds from the Apple-owned Beats by Dr. Dre brand, and part of the company's Powerbeats lineup, which also features the Powerbeats Pro 2 that we looked at earlier this year.

Vivo introduced the X300 series this week and this year the family is smaller – there’s no mid-sized vanilla model and no “Pro mini”, just the small X300 and the big X300 Pro. Okay, there is likely an Ultra model and an FE model in the pipeline, but there’s no denying that vivo streamlined its flagship product line. vivo X300 and X300 Pro highlights Let’s start with the vivo X300 Pro – it’s very much an “X200, part 2”, if we can put it that way.

Last week we asked you for your thoughts on how we should reconfigure our Phone Finder tool to make it easier to find foldable phones with the right dimensions. Here’s how the voting went. The majority of people prefer that only folded dimensions are used when filtering phones based on their thickness, width and height. People had a simple reason for voting this way – most of the time, the phones stay folded.

It has been a pretty quiet week in the US market as far as smartphones are concerned, but Apple did unveil the M5 chipset and launched three new products with it. But let’s start with phones and with no new launches, we turn to the usual suspects. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge has reportedly been canceled, to be replaced with the Galaxy S26+ - a phone that was once rumored to have been canceled itself. So, the Galaxy S25 Edge may remain Samsung’s thinnest phone for a while. It’s not as capable as its S25+ sibling, but at least it’s a lot cheaper. ...
