Just days ahead of the Galaxy S26 series launch event, real-life images and a hands-on video have surfaced on social media, offering a close look at the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The leaks highlight the Privacy Display feature, the S-Pen, and even reveal the phone’s benchmark scores. YouTuber Sahil Karoul managed to get his hands on the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra, claiming that a retailer in Dubai already has the phone on sale. The YouTuber shared several videos and images of the phone on X, revealing key aspects of the device. In one clip, Karoul demonstrates the Privacy Display feature,...

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has been the most popular smartphone in our database for most of 2026's first two months, so no surprises it's still on top of our trending chart the week before its announcement. It's got the newly announced vivo V70 and Infinix Note 60 Pro keeping it company on the podium. The extension of lifecycles caused by surging RAM prices means the Galaxy A56 will get an even longer time in the spotlight - it placed fourth almost a full year after its debut. [#InlinePriceWidget, 13603, 1#] Behind it we have more newly announced phones - the Pixel 10a came in...

The iPhone 17e is just around the corner and as is the norm rumors gave us a pretty good idea of what to expect. The company is gearing up to launch several devices on March 4 (or shortly before that), the most exciting of which is the iPhone 16e successor - the iPhone 17e. The 17e promises a handful of notable upgrades over its predecessor. Perhaps the most obvious one will be the Dynamic Island. The full-fledged notch will be replaced by a Dynamic Island cutout along with the accompanying software features. The display itself will remain the same - 6.1" running at 60Hz. The...

Let's recap week number 8 of 2026. It was heavily influenced by Galaxy S26-related stories, but Google did unveil its ungroundbreaking Pixel 10a, and Xiaomi's 17 series is closing in on a global release. We saw a few S26 chip stories. It seems that the Exynos 2600, which will power some of the S26 units in some markets, has stronger Ray Tracing performance than the Adreno 840 inside the Snapdragon-powered models. On the flip side, the single-core performance of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered Galaxy S26 Ultra is much better than the corresponding Exynos 2600 one. Samsung also...

Vloggers and tech enthusiasts all around swear by DJI’s Pocket line of gimbal cameras, and for good reason. The rumor mill has been buzzing for some time now with leaks of an upcoming new Pocket 4 model, now that the current Pocket 3 will be turning three years old near the tail end of this year. Previous leaks have hinted at a dual-lens design with a secondary zoom camera, akin to a recent Insta360 leak and more crucially, the dual camera systems on some of DJI’s drones. However, this latest leaked short hands-on video shows a very familiar design with a single lens, but still some...

The Google Pixel 10a was announced earlier this week – can it shake up the European mid-range market or is it walking into a fight that it is ill prepared for? Sibling rivalry may be the biggest problem for the young 10a. The Google Pixel 10a is mostly the same as the 9a. It uses the same 6.3” 1080p+ display (slightly brighter) now with Gorilla Glass 7i (replacing GG3), runs on the same Tensor G4 chipset and has the same 48+13MP camera. The battery capacity is the same too, 5,100mAh, though Google increased the wired (from 23W to 30W) and wireless (from 7.5W to 10W) charging...

At the start of December, Google reported that Android 16 adoption was low. However, our tech-savvy audience is ahead of the curve and most of the people who voted in last week’s poll have version 16 running on their phone. For some (7%), it’s because they bought a new phone recently and it came with Android 16 out of the box. The majority of voters (55%), however, received version 16 as an update. Around a third of voters are still on an older version – either because they are still waiting (some brands take longer than others) or because support for their phone has come to an...
