Honor is ready to showcase several highly anticipated devices at its MWC event today, and you can tune in to the action via the stream below. The event is scheduled to start at 1PM CET time (12PM UTC) and we’ll be covering all of the major announcements from the event floor. So, what can we expect from this grand keynote? Honor’s next-gen book-style foldable Magic V6 for one. The device has been part of a teaser campaign for quite some time now and we’ll finally get to see it go official. It will be the first foldable to bring IP68 and IP69 ingress protection, while also boasting a...
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series may be named after the year 2026, but the three models feel like they are from different times. The Ultra once again gets the best new features, the vanilla model gets few but important upgrades, while the Plus model, well, there isn’t much to say about that one. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra boasts a new Privacy Display feature. Compared to the S25 Ultra, it also has wider apertures on its 200MP main (f/1.4 instead of f/1.7) and 5x 50MP telephoto module (f/2.9 instead of f/3.4). Samsung also finally pushed past its self-imposed 45W charging limit and the new...
These are the Redmi Buds 8 Pro in Glacier Blue, and we’re ready to unbox them right after their global premiere. They are the latest addition to the Redmi brand’s audio portfolio and bring some impressive specs, including triple drivers, hi-res audio streaming with LDAC support and active noise cancellation (ANC) rated at up to 55dB, all while retailing for under €100/£100. Our Glacier Blue review sample is arguably the best color option, with the other two being plain black and white. It has a satin-like matte finish with slight hints of silver throughout the case and buds. The...
Last week, we asked our readers whether they had any interest in buying a Pixel 10a – the answer is a resounding “no”. The majority of voters think there are better mid-rangers on the market. The best thing that we can say based on these results is that around a third of voters think that the 10a isn’t a bad phone, it’s just overpriced. Which is bad. Jokes aside, there was a similar attitude in the 9a poll a year earlier, but people warmed up to the 9a over time – or rather as the price cuts came in. So, maybe there is hope for the new model. One good reason to jump on the Google Pixel...
Xiaomi's latest Wear OS smartwatch is here, and it means serious business. Meet the Xiaomi Watch 5, a no-compromises smartwatch with a massive battery. Before we go through the numbers, let's do an unboxing. The Watch 5 ships with Xiaomi's typical two-pin magnetic charger. We're not fans of it. First, it ends on a USB-A connection, not a USB-C, which isn't ideal in early 2026. Second, the two-pin design means you need to fiddle when placing the watch down to charge. It'd be much easier if Xiaomi went with a universal magnetic design, like Samsung and OnePlus. Charger aside, the...
Next week will be busy with news from the MWC and upcoming Apple announcements. This week the big event was the launch of the Galaxy S26 series. In case you missed it, this post serves as a jumping off point to the most important details. We also have a hands-on review with all three S26 models as well as a hands-on video. Long story short, the S26 trio is already on pre-order and will officially go on sale on March 11. The first shipments should start arriving around that time too. It’s important to highlight that Samsung revised the prices of the S-series models – here’s the detailed...
TORRAS is launching a new anti-reflective screen protector designed specifically for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. The OrigArmor Screen Protector also boasts high light transmittance, enhanced protection against damage and easy installation with a roller tray system. You can find it now on the official TORRAS store as well as on Amazon. The TORRAS OrigArmor screen protector for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Since the S24 Ultra, Samsung has been using special glass for the display that cuts down on reflections. However, typical screen protectors negate this advantage of the...
A few months after launching in China, the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro is expanding to more markets around the world. This is one of Xiaomi’s thinnest LCD tablets as it is 0.4mm slimmer than the Pad 7 Pro. The new slate measures only 5.8mm thick and weighs 485g (15g less than the previous model). You might not think it matters, but these improvements add up over time – the Pad 7 Pro was 0.3mm thinner than the Pad 6 Pro and now this model shaves off an extra 0.4mm. This matters since tablets almost have to be used with a case of some sort. The Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro measures 5.8mm thick and weighs...
Are two 5,000mAh power banks the same size? Before you say “of course”, we need to clarify what we mean by size. In terms of physical size, putting the new Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W next to a 5,000mAh power bank from EcoFlow shows a stark difference. The Xiaomi power bank weighs only 98g and measures 98.5 x 71.5 x 6.0mm. The EcoFlow power bank is nearly twice as heavy at 180g and it is more than twice as thick at 108.0 x 70.0 x 14.4mm. To be fair, some of that is due to the integrated charging cable and kickstand on the EcoFlow, but the Xiaomi uses a cutting-edge...
Xiaomi launched a tracking tag called simply the Xiaomi Tag. We have one in our hands and we can see a few reasons why you may want to pick one up over trackers from other brands. First, it’s how you can get one – an individual tag costs €18, while a pack of four goes for €60. For comparison, a second-gen Apple AirTag is €35 (or €120 for four), a Samsung SmartTag2 is €40 (€130 for four) and a Moto Tag 2 is also €40 (€130 for four). Xiaomi undercutting the competition’s pricing is nothing new, but the difference is double or more in this case. The Xiaomi Tag is slender and cleverly...
