Week 46 was relatively calm in terms of new hardware announcements, and the OnePlus 15 took full advantage of that. The new flagship by the Chinese maker extended its streak as the most popular phone in our database to 3 weeks. The Samsung Galaxy A56 came in second and the Galaxy S25 Ultra completed the podium. Each of those two gained a spot at the expense of the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, which slipped to fourth.

We brought the Honor Magic8 Pro back with us from China, and while we're tinkering with Honor's latest flagship, we thought, why not do an unboxing? It's a short and sweet task - you get a USB cable, a SIM eject tool, and the phone. Depending on the model, you can enjoy either 100W (global) or 120W (Chinese) charging speeds, but you'd need to supply your own charger. We had the chance to check out the blue-ish Mint Magic8 Pro while at Honor's announcement event, and now we also have the silver-ish Gold. They share the wavy lines that appear on the rear panel under specific...
The OnePlus 15 is now a globally available phone, and we have the review and a camera comparison versus the OnePlus 13. The new phone isn't the outright winner in the comparison, though.

Black Friday is approaching fast, but good deals are no longer tied to that one date – some brands and retailers are spreading them around almost the entire month. We had a major launch this week as the OnePlus 15 went global. In Europe, the base 12/256GB variant is €50 cheaper than the OnePlus 13 was at launch, but the 16/512GB upgrade is now €50 more than it was. OnePlus made some questionable choices with the hardware. On paper, the camera is worse than it was on the 13. However, we did a OnePlus 13 vs. OnePlus 15 shootout and found that there is a lot to like. Still, the camera...

Nothing’s recent market strategy has left us scratching our heads – and it’s not just us, it seems. Last week’s poll shows that most people gravitate towards other offerings from the company instead of their latest release. The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite failed to convince the majority. Some will wait for reviews, a few are interested but the phone isn’t available near them – even so, most people would rather get the non-Lite Nothing Phone (3a) or pick up the CMF Phone 2 Pro. And why wouldn’t they – Nothing’s CMF models offer awesome value for money. We see it with the CMF Headphone...
Amazon’s Black Friday Week starts on Thursday, but the retailer is already offering early deals – and it’s not the only one. Earlier this week, we looked at deals from Samsung US. Now Amazon is matching at least some of those. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S25+ is $838 (or $850, depending on which color you want), which is the same price as on Samsung US with the instant discount. The Samsung offer has an alternative option – trade-in credit instead of a discount. Samsung Galaxy S25+ Amazon: $162/$150...
