A bunch of Redmi phones debuted this week, but none managed to dethrone the Samsung Galaxy A54, which remained the most popular phone in our database. The K70 Pro ranked just behind it with the Galaxy S23 Ultra coming third. The Redmi 13C ranked fourth, pushing the Redmi Note 12 to fifth. The Redmi Note 12 Pro gained a spot to place just behind its sibling. Apple's iPhone 15 Pro Max is seventh, followed by the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE and the Xiaomi 14, which lost 5 more spots this week. Samsung Galaxy A34 completes the top 10 this week, leaving the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ out this time...
Xiaomi introduced its Redmi K70 lineup with three models – the K70, K70 Pro and K70E.

Last time we looked back at Nokia’s attempt to modernize Symbian with Anna, but that was only the first step. The next was called Belle, which brought the long-lived OS even closer to the modern design of its Android and iOS competitors. Belle brought important quality of life changes that made the interface much more pleasant and usable. However, there’s no escaping that Symbian was playing catch-up to its rivals. Let’s start with the basics and we do mean “basics”. First, the homescreen got a massive overhaul – you could now have up to 6 panes, up from 3 in Anna. And instead of the...
Bill Gates might not have actually said “640K ought to be enough for anybody”, but how much is enough? Android Go edition phones come with one or two gigs, mid-rangers often have 4-6GB, then flagships start at 8GB and go all the way up to 24GB. These number vary by brand, of course. You won’t get more than 12GB out of Samsung or Google, Apple won’t even go that far and the iPhone 15 Pro Max has 8GB of RAM. Other brands will happily put 16GB in a mid-ranger. The first smartphone with 24GB of RAM arrived a few months ago, it was the Red Magic 8S Pro+. A gaming phone, of course. Since...
Last week’s poll shows that the Honor 100 duo has potential as half of voters expressed interest in the two phones, though not without some question marks. However, when reading through the comments we saw that the phones also have a critical flaw – the Art Nouveau design. Oof, there were less than glowing comments about the looks of the two phones. We’re not sure whether there is a consensus on which of the two is better, but it sure sounds that the artistic shapes of either model are not liked by the majority. Looks aside, the Honor 100 Pro fared better – a decent chunk of people like...
Foldables are still quite pricey, but as always discounts help alleviate that. The Amazon has the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 with 1TB storage at £1,550 – this is after a £300 discount and with a £200 coupon applied. The coupon is available for the other two memory configurations, 256GB and 512GB, but they lack the first discount so the 1TB model ends up costing as much as the 256GB one.

Nothing is yet to branch out into multiple phone lines – right now the Nothing Phone (2) is its flagship, the older Phone (1) is sticking around as the mid-ranger. You can pick it up for €320 for an 8/128GB model, though for a small premium you can get the 12/256GB option, which is probably the better pick. The extra RAM will help keep the phone snappy going forward and there’s no way to expand the storage later on. Nothing Phone (1) €150/€170 off Read our review 8/128GB...
The Poco X6 line of devices is still shrouded in mystery, but we have seemingly started to piece some details together. Recently we learned through an NBTC certification in Thailand that the Poco X6 Pro will likely be the international variant of the Chinese Xiaomi Redmi K70E. Now, in a somewhat similar development, a GeekBench entry was spotted for a Xiaomi 23122PCD1G – a model number that has been linked to the Poco X6 5G model name through references found in the MIUI source code as well as on the GSMA IMEI Database. The GeekBench listing confirms that the tested device in...
The upcoming OnePlus 12 is expected to drop on December 5 in China, followed by an international debut on January 23. Naturally, interest in the handset has been mounting, and quite a few details have already leaked. The latest development has some nice and clear photos of the OnePlus 12 in white and green colors. We also know that the phone will come in a third black variant. All three versions will likely be available in China, while global users will get to choose between the black and green ones. OnePlus 12 If these photos look suspiciously good to you, it is simply...
Oppo's Find N3 was announced in October and we got to review the large foldable late last month. Sometime in the middle of all this we also spent a few days with the phone while travelling around Europe - and the Find's camera proved to be a mighty fine companion, whether it was the sunny streets of Seville, or the hustle and bustle of cloudy Paris. The Find N3's camera system is headlined by a new Sony imager - the LYT-808, part of Sony's new LYTIA lineup, which benefits from the latest stacked architecture for improved light-gathering capabilities. It wasn't particularly tested...
