Last week, the OnePlus 15R 512GB had a £100 discount, which made it cheaper than the 256GB version (since that one was at MSRP). Now there’s also an additional £20 discount available at checkout – it’s not much, but the phone only just launched. With the extra discount, the 15R is now £40 cheaper than the Poco F8 Ultra. The Poco still has things going for it like the faster Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset (vs. 8 Gen 5 on the OnePlus). The Poco F8 Ultra also has a better camera setup with a larger 50MP main (1/1.31” vs. 1/1.56”), a higher resolution ultra-wide (50MP vs. 8MP) and a 50MP...

This week, Asus confirmed that it won't be making any more smartphones. The company will instead focus its energy on R&D on commercial PCs and physical AI (i.e., robotics and smart glasses). The company will continue to support existing smartphones, however. Per Ice Universe, Samsung will unveil the S26 series on February 25. Pre-orders will begin on February 26 and end on March 4. Then a pre-sale period from March 5 to March 10, and then general sales from March 11. The Galaxy S26 Ultra was initially reported to ship in four colors, but Evleaks says we're expecting more than...

Last week, we looked at the OnePlus 15R – with a €100 discount only for the 512GB model, it was effectively a free storage upgrade type deal. Now there’s also an additional €20 discount at checkout – that’s not much, but the phone only just launched. The €20 discount is available on the 256GB variant too, but since that costs €700, it doesn’t make sense.

A couple of weeks ago, Realme launched the 16 Pro and 16 Pro+. Right now, they are only available in India, which is a shame – these two have some impressive specs and though they are a bit pricey, they could have found success in other markets too. The Realme 16 Pro+ flaunts a 200MP main camera (1/1.56”, OIS) and a 50MP 3.5x periscope (1/2.76”, f/2.8, OIS), plus an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 50MP selfie module. It’s not perfect (video stabilization and ultra-wide videos in particular being substandard), but it is better than most mid-range phones – many of which don’t even have a...

Smart glasses are all the rage these days, and while Xiaomi’s latest offering is not the smartest option out there, it does offer a premium design and some generally useful features. The Mijia Smart Audio Glasses incorporate built-in speakers into the temples, which means you’re getting an open earbud experience built into the glasses. That’s paired with quad microphones for hands-free calls, and the ability to record calls and audio in your surroundings. We got hold of the Titanium version, which retails for €199, though Xiaomi is also offering browline and pilot styles, with the...

Not so long ago, it looked like mini smartphones were all but dead – now they seem to be thriving with multiple makers launching models at several price points. Oppo launched one in the Reno15 series and it was the clear winner of last week’s poll. But how successful would it be outside of its Reno15 family? The Oppo Reno15 Pro, aka Reno15 Pro Mini in India, didn’t knock it out of the park with around a quarter of the vote going in its favor – notably, there are a lot more people who think they can get a better deal with other petite smartphones. Still, if you look at the yellow pie slice,...

This week, we will have a look at several Samsung and Apple tablets, but we’ll kick things off with a quick peek at foldables. Samsung will launch the Galaxy S26 series next month, so we’re still waiting for a “last hurrah” discount on the S25 models. Meanwhile, the foldables won’t be replaced until H2. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is available with either a $200 straight discount or you can get trade-in credit of up to $600. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 $200 off without trade-in-or-up to $600 trade-in credit ...

The iQOO 15 Ultra will launch in China next month, and images iQOO shared recently revealed its design and color options. These images also showed the iQOO 15 Ultra's right frame with touch-sensitive shoulder triggers, which we now know will have haptic feedback. This revelation comes through a Weibo post by iQOO's product manager, who also said that the iQOO 15 Ultra's touch-sensitive shoulder triggers will have a 600Hz sampling rate and rely on two independent control chips to minimize latency. Additionally, the triggers will be sweat-resistant, and iQOO has used an "anti-sweat"...
