The OnePlus 15 golder run came to an end in week 48, the champion from the past four editions of the chart sinking all the way to fourth place. In its place we have the newly announced Poco F8 Ultra, which opened a comfortable gap to the second-placed Samsung Galaxy A56. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14301, 1#] In third we have the Galaxy S25 Ultra, while the top half is completed by the Poco F8 Pro, which couldn't quite match the popularity of its Ultra sibling in their debut week.

Half a year after the launch of the successful F7 series, the Poco brand releases two F8 models. They bring some serious upgrades, some fun designs and, unfortunately, a price hike. The Poco F8 Ultra is €80/€100 more expensive than the F7 Ultra for the 256GB and 512GB models, respectively. At least that is if you go by MSRP – the early bird price knocks the price down by €180/€200. Poco F8 Ultra This generation of Ultra goes for a larger screen at the cost of resolution – the F8 Ultra has a 6.9” 1200p+ display (120Hz OLED with 12-bit Dolby Vision), up from 6.67” 1440p+ (also...

The same goes for the ultra-wide and...

After using the vivo X300 Pro as my only camera on a recent trip to the Andalusia region in Spain, I walked away convinced that vivo has created one of this year’s strongest cameraphone contenders. While it may not introduce dramatic hardware leaps over its predecessors, the cumulative refinement across hardware, software, and accessories has resulted in a remarkably capable and versatile device. Where it shined Besides the great image quality of the photos I took, what stood out most in my time with the phone was the maturity of the camera software. The interface is well-organized...
