Another week is over, so let's recap. If you've seen the Galaxy S22 series, you've seen the Galaxy S24 series, if the dummies that leaked are to be believed. The three S24 phones all look pretty much unchanged, for the most part. There will likely be under-the-hood changes but on the outside, the phones look quite similar to the S23 series. A new report doubled down on the fact that Huawei's HarmonyOS Next will drop Android support. The OS is nearly ready for release and there has been some serious developer recruitment to bring talent over into Huawei's new OS. The vivo X100 series...
Amazon has never been too patient with its holiday discounts, which is why Black Friday deals are already underway. We picked out some of the best phones from this year (and some from the year before). The Asus Zenfone 10 is a rare beast – a small, premium Android. It’s not tiny by any means, but it has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and plenty of RAM (you can have 16GB if you want) plus a 5.92” 144Hz AMOLED display with HDR10+. Small though it may be, it has a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is another thing you don’t see often these days. ...

The 119° ultra wide completes the triple 50MP ensemble. vivo X100 and X100 Pro The vanilla vivo X100 is no slouch either. It has a 50MP main (a 1/1.49" IMX920 sensor), 64MP...

What chipset powers a phone is a significant factor when choosing your next phone. Of course, this is a result from last week’s poll and our readers are more tech-minded than the general population, but still – very few people picked the “don’t care” option. The results clearly show that having the latest and greatest silicon isn’t particularly important. For over 40% of voters, an older but still capable chipset is a perfectly fine option. Recently, it is the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and the Dimensity 9200 that have been filling this role. Although only half as numerous, there is still the...
Nothing Chats, the iMessage clone that the company launched earlier this week, has been pulled from the Google Play Store. The official reasoning is "several bugs" that the company needs time to fix before launching it again after an indefinite period of time. We've removed the Nothing Chats beta from the Play Store and will be delaying the launch until further notice to work with Sunbird to fix several bugs. We apologise for the delay and will do right by our users.— Nothing (@nothing) November 18, 2023 However, there is enough evidence to support the idea that the app was pulled not...

Black Friday is still a week away, but the early offers include a wide variety of headphones with solid discounts. We mostly focused on TWS buds, but there are a few over-ear models as well. Starting with Samsung, the company is pushing its Shop Samsung app and offers exclusive discounts. The Galaxy Buds FE were already the cheapest in the Samsung TWS lineup, now even more so. These sub-$100 buds have ANC and multi-point connectivity and promise up to 6 hours of listening time (with ANC on). Note: when following the links to Samsung below, you will be asked whether you want the online...
The Samsung Galaxy Fit3 was expected to go official early this year, but that didn't happen. Samsung hasn't announced when it will unveil the Fit3 but renders that leaked last week revealed what the smartband would look like. Now, more images have surfaced, showing the Fit3 in two new colors: grey and black. These pictures also corroborate the previous design leak of the Samsung Galaxy Fit3. It has a rectangular screen - rumored to be larger than the three-year-old Fit2's display - with a physical button and a microphone on the right side. Samsung Galaxy Fit3 The...
