After climbing to the top of our trending chart last week, the Poco F8 Ultra managed to retain it by the slimmest of margins. The newly unveiled Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold mounted a very strong challenge that came just short and had to settle for second place. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14301, 1#] In third we have the Galaxy A56, followed by the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, which has been steadily growing in popularity over the holiday shopping season. The Galaxy S25 Ultra lost a couple of places and ended up fifth, followed by the November champion OnePlus 15. Samsung Galaxy A17 took the...
Samsung unveiled its Galaxy Z TriFold this week. Unlike the Huawei Mate XT, which folds outward, the Galaxy Z TriFold keeps its vulnerable folding display on the inside and has an independent cover screen. However, that means you only get to pick between that and the fully unfolded screen, no middle ground. The diagonals are 6.5" and 10", although the surface area difference is larger than those numbers suggest due to aspect differences. You get last year's Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, with 16 GB of RAM, and either half a terabyte or a full terabyte of storage, a 5,600mAh battery, and a...

After the few Black Friday-themed weeks of feverish discounts on everything, discounts have slowed down a bit. Still, there are some deals to be had, and we've rounded up a few from Amazon Germany for you guys and gals! Google has traditionally kept its Pixel series at a good price compared to its rivals, and now is no different.

Earlier this year, we ran a poll on the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate, the first commercially available tri-fold smartphone. The key takeaways from that were: 1) 26.4% said “I want a tri-foldable, but cheaper”, 2) 22.1% said “I want a Mate XT Ultimate” and 3) 16.7% said “I want a tri-fold, but not from Huawei”. This week Samsung may have delivered the answers to 1) and 3). May have. The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold will go on sale next week and we only have the Korean price to go off on. It’s roughly 40% higher than the equivalent Z Fold7 (512GB storage), which means that the global pricing should...
The results from last week’s poll are clear – the Poco F8 Ultra is not the best flagship, but it is certainly the best Poco F8 model. And to be fair, it’s not trying to be the best flagship. Its price is so aggressively low that it is making people question whether they actually need the higher end features. Poco’s site still lists the Ultra at its early bird price of €700 for the 256GB version and €750 for the 512GB one. However, they are showing “out of stock” (also, Amazon briefly had a better price at €650/€700). For comparison, the Realme GT 8 Pro is €1,100 for a 512GB unit (note:...
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are behind us, but they were only the start of holiday shopping. The OnePlus 15 is now up for pre-order in the US and units will ship out by the end of the year – even though regulatory hurdles were cleared, it seems that the company will need some time to spin up its sales machine. Amazon US will also be selling the new flagship. OnePlus 15 (coming soon) ships by the end of the month Read our review 16/512GB - $1,000 at Amazon US ...
