The Tecno Pova 5 Pro came out last August, and its successor is already on the way. According to Tecno itself, the Pova 6 Pro will be made official at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona at the end of next month. It will be the first Tecno phone to come with support for Dolby Atmos, following Tecno and Dolby Laboratories signing a partnership deal for this exact purpose. It's not just the Pova 6 Pro - other, yet-unnamed members of the upcoming Pova 6 series will get Dolby Atmos too, along with all future Camon and Phantom series devices. Tecno says this will provide its users with "a...
With MWC 2024 around the corner, brands are starting to confirm their plans for this year’s event. Honor will bring its Magic6 series to the global stage alongside its latest foldable Magic V2 RSR. The brand confirmed it will host its event on February 25 at 2PM local time. Magic6 series consists of the Magic6 and Magic6 Pro.

Last year we heard that the OnePlus Watch 2 would finally launch this year, and today a new rumor definitely corroborates that. According to a source that has been accurate at times in the past, the OnePlus Watch 2 will become official at Mobile World Congress, which takes place in Barcelona at the end of next month. Furthermore, it's once again said to run Wear OS. Hopefully that means Wear OS 4, as previously leaked. This would make the OnePlus Watch 2 very different from the original OnePlus Watch, which launched back in 2021 and ran a proprietary OS. Xiaomi took the plunge into...
Per the latest rumor allegedly originating from a sales rep, Sony will look to release its next flagship earlier in 2024 - at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona at the end of February. This would make the announcement a good three months earlier than the Xperia 1 V's (and that phone launched even later at the end of July). So if true, that means that the Xperia 1 VI will be on time to contend with the major Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 pioneer phones like the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Xiaomi 14 Pro. The other part of the rumor claims that the Xperia 1 VI will have a 6x zoom camera with a...
After a week of launches, the MWC 2023 wrapped up and we asked you to pick the best devices in several categories. Here are the winners in last week’s poll. The Honor Magic5 Pro won the title Best Flagship of the MWC with a wide margin. It managed to edge out the Realme GT3 and Xiaomi 13 Pro, which were nearly tied for second place. The vanilla Magic5 wasn’t nearly as popular, but it was well ahead of the vanilla Xiaomi 13. The Tecno Phantom V Fold pulled off a surprising victory for the Best Foldable of the MWC. Its opponent, the Honor Magic Vs, held the lead for a few days before...
