Another week, another OnePlus 15 gold medal. The new flagship by the Chinese maker is now the most popular phone in our database for four weeks in a row. Behind it the Galaxy A56 retains the silver medal, while the bronze goes to the upcoming Poco F8 Ultra, which will certainly mount a strong challenge next week as it goes official. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14206, 1#] Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra ends just off the podium, followed by the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, which overtakes its Xiaomi namesake. Oppo Find X9 Pro is now seventh, followed by the Galaxy A17 in eighth as two more Xiaomi...
Samsung's last device in the Galaxy A7x line was the A73, which launched in 2022. After that, this part of the A series has been dead, but now it looks like the company is getting ready to revive it with the Galaxy A77. A prototype A77 has been spotted in the Geekbench online database, with 8GB of RAM, Android 16 on board, and a mystery chipset that's related to Samsung's Exynos 2400 and 2400e but based on the CPU clock configuration, is lower-end than both of those. This SoC has a CPU with three Prime cores clocked at up to 2.78GHz, three performance cores clocked at up to 2.3GHz,...
Newer is better – until it isn’t. Many are not convinced that the latest OnePlus 15 is better than the phone it replaces. And that’s not the only recent case in the industry either. The OnePlus 15 can be had for £880 from Amazon UK for a 16/512GB unit. The retailer lists it as on pre-order, which is probably a mistake – OnePlus UK is already selling it. And we do recommend going for the 16/512GB unit since it is only £30 more than the 12/256GB model. More RAM and double the storage for £30 seem like a no-brainer. OnePlus...

Realme’s GT series has emerged as one of the best value-for-money flagships in recent years – challenging even OnePlus, which held that title for a long time. The GT 7 Pro had a good run as one of the more affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite phones out there. Now, its successor promises even more value. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14245, 1#] The Realme GT 8 Pro uses the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and that is not the only upgrade over the GT 7 Pro. The screen is sharper (6.79” 1440p+, 144Hz vs. 6.78” 1264p+, 120Hz), the battery is bigger (7,000mAh vs. 6,500mAh) and the camera is...

Technological progress is irreversible – or is it? The OnePlus 15 has found itself in the midst of a controversy because several of its components are seen as downgrades compared to the OnePlus 13. Just compare the reception in the OnePlus 13 poll from last year - the hype was tangible. The screen? 1272p+ instead of 1440p+. The camera? Smaller sensors in the main (1/1.56” vs. 1/1.43”) and the telephoto module (1/2.76” vs. 1/1.95”). The price? Basically the same. And that is the central point of the argument – the OnePlus 15 costs about as much as a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra right...
Oppo unveiled the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro in China in July and later introduced them in India. We haven't heard from Oppo about the launch of the K15 series yet, but reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has shared key specs of an unannounced smartphone that could be the Oppo K15 Turbo Pro. According to DCS, this unannounced mid-range smartphone, featuring a "waterproof" and "theoretically dustproof" cooling fan for active cooling, is powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC. That's why many believe it's the K15 Turbo Pro since the K13 Turbo Pro also had a cooling fan. Oppo...
The focus during Black Friday shopping is mostly on new stuff – but some old, refurbished gadgets deserve some love too. Here are some refurbished iPhones (some of them in good enough condition for the renewed premium label). The iPhone 15 Pro is a couple of generations old, but it still offers modern features like an LTPO display, USB-C charging, satellite connectivity and UWB. It’s before the switch to high resolution telephoto and ultra-wide cameras, though, both modules are 12MP. On the plus side, the 48MP main has a large 1/1.28” sensor. ...
OnePlus launched the OnePlus Ace 6 in China last month, and we'll soon see the brand unveil the OnePlus Ace 6T. We don't have the OnePlus Ace 6T's launch date yet, but thanks to reliable leakster Evan Blass, we know what this smartphone will look like. Blass shared two official-looking renders of the OnePlus Ace 6T on X, revealing the phone's design. It has a punch-hole display on the front, a dual-camera setup on the rear, and a power key on the right side of the frame, accompanied by a volume rocker. On the left side is what's likely the customizable Plus Key we saw on the OnePlus 15 and...
