Samsung's upcoming S26 series is rumored to come later than its predecessor, and the latest report suggests that Samsung will hold the all-important Unpacked event on February 25. Speaking of the Galaxy S26 series, the latest intel on the Galaxy S26 Ultra suggests that Samsung will replace the venerable 10MP sensor on the 3x zoom camera with a new 12MP one. It doesn't sound very innovative. Closing off the Samsung thread in this week's top stories, Samsung's tri-fold concept was shown in a video from more angles. It's still sitting behind glass so we're not getting a hands-on just...

Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a big thing in Mexico. Deservedly making the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, it is a huge fest, paying respects to the dead by celebrating instead of mourning. We were lucky enough to be invited by Oppo alongside some other media to see the spectacle up close, and we took the Oppo Find X9 Pro to capture the entire thing. There aren't many other smartphones on the planet that can match Oppo's finest in a camera test, so we were pretty confident in our choice. The Oppo Find X9 Pro has a solid camera system on the back. Its...
Analysts think that the iPhone Air is not doing as well as Apple may have hoped – this may be why we see it discounted fairly often. And here it is again. Apple is trying to kickstart a new trend with the iPhone Air – it measures only 5.6mm thick and weighs only 165g and that makes it feel special when you hold it in your hand. It’s a shame that beyond being thin and light, the phone isn’t all that good at anything. It has a 6.5” LTPO OLED display, a single 48MP camera and a small 3,149mAh battery with wired and wireless charging. Right now, it’s €200 off its regular price. ...
Nothing is breaking out of its mid-range shell – it went from launching its first flagship to its first entry-level phone in quick succession. But now there is an awkward clash with the CMF brand, which was supposed to be Nothing’s entry-level lineup. Based on its name, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is a dialed back, cheaper version of the Nothing Phone (3a). And there are certainly similarities, the phone is even closer to the CMF Phone 2 Pro. In fact, it is below the CMF model as it lacks the 50MP 2x/50mm telephoto camera while offering no advantage of its own to make up for...
The open wearable stereo (OWS) market gained serious traction over the last two years, and just about every brand has its own entry now. While traditional earbuds come with the tried and tested plug form factor, which sits inside your ear, the OWS models position their drivers right at the tip of your ear canal. The result is raised awareness of your surroundings at the cost of subpar passive isolation. OpenWear Stereo Pro is the latest offering from Xiaomi, and it aims to one-up its competitors by offering a more premium build while still retaining its open-fit system. Xiaomi is...
Pixels were on a break for a while, in terms of discounts, but now they are back in full force. The entire Pixel 10 lineup is up to $300 off and so is the vanilla model from last year. The Google Pixel 9 flaunts some advantages over its replacement – a large 1/1.31” 50MP sensor in the main camera and a high-resolution 48MP ultra-wide (vs. 13MP). It misses the 10.8MP 5x/112mm periscope, though, that’s new for 2025. It also has a slightly smaller battery, 4,700mAh vs. 4,970mAh. However, battery life on the Pixel 9 is actually better (with a 13:05h Active use score compared to 12:08h for the...

The results from last week’s poll are in – Oppo nailed the hardware of the two Find X9 models. However, quite a few people are having issues with the price tag. Oppo Find X9 and X9 Pro highlights The Oppo Find X9 Pro is the clear favorite of the two – you’ll see it more clearly in the next chart. Some commenters have already bought an X9 Pro, others are still looking – and some are waiting for the Find X9 Ultra. Those are the “money is no object” crowd, of course. The group that does object to the X9 Pro pricing is quite a bit larger. €1,300 is proving to be a tough sell...
