This year has been an eventful one for cameraphones, carrying over the trend. Some manufacturers made huge strides when it comes to cameras, while others decided to focus on polishing their products. But at the end of the day, pretty much all manufacturers have something to show for when it comes to cameras. Arguably, vivo ended up leading the pack. The company released the China-only vivo X200 Ultra in early 2025, while the X300 and X300 Pro arrived a couple of months before the end of the year, but made it to global stage. The vivo X300 Pro, didn't bring that many improvements to the...

The latest Asus smartphone is the Zenfone 12 Ultra, which launched in February of last year. With that in mind, you may have been expecting a Zenfone 13 Ultra, or an ROG Phone 10 series to arrive soon, but according to a new report, you'll be disappointed. Apparently Asus will not be launching any new smartphones this year. This allegedly comes straight from the company itself, which also promises that maintenance, software updates, and warranty services for all existing devices will continue without issue. Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra It's unclear what the reason for deciding not to...

Some flagships launched in 2025 were considerably more expensive than their predecessors, and the story won't be different with the phones launching this year, either, due to rising component costs, among other factors. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 series was also expected to get a price hike, but if the latest rumor coming out of South Korea is to be believed, that won't be the case. A South Korean publication reports that Samsung has decided to launch the Galaxy S26 series at the same price as the Galaxy S25 lineup to avoid losing market share to Apple and other Chinese smartphone...

Poco is making the M8 official on January 8 (how fitting!), and ahead of that it's now officially revealed more of the phone's specs. It has a 6.77-inch 3D curved OLED screen with 1080x2392 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 3,200-nit peak brightness, and the brand even claims this is the segment's "most durable 3D curved display phone". The M8 is MIL-STD-810H certified to withstand extreme heat, dust, shocks, and "the random chaos your day throws at you", whatever that means. It's also got an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance, and Wet Touch 2.0 tech built-in. It was drop...

2025 was a good year for vivo as it continued to innovate and upgrade on its solid lineup of devices. But the maker also faced challenges, like delivering its many great phones to markets outside of China and India. A great showing overall, but not without some losses. Winner and loser: vivo X200 Ultra Just like last year's X100 Ultra, the vivo X200 Ultra is one of the best phones on the market, yet it didn't manage to spread its immeasurable talents beyond China. The X200 Ultra kept what made its predecessor excellent, but made it better in every way - the latest chip, a...
