After the dust settled on the Snapdragon 8 Elite powered flagships we see a familiar couple on top of our trending chart. The Samsung Galaxy A55 returned to a position it has occupied for a dozen weeks this year, trailed closely by its Galaxy S24 Ultra stablemate. [#InlinePriceWidget, 12824, 1#] Last week's leader, the Xiaomi 15 Pro, rounds up the podium in week 45. Another Xiaomi phone came in fourth - the Redmi Note 13 Pro. It's followed by the OnePlus 13, which slid down to fifth this week. Realme's GT7 Pro entered the trending chart in sixth position and the Honor X9c...

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are the latest flagship wireless earbuds from Google and the second generation model of the 2022 Pixel Buds Pro. This latest version makes rather big claims of being the most comfortable earbuds while also being able to cancel twice as much noise as the Pixel Buds Pro thanks to the new Google Tensor A1 chip inside each earbud. Priced at $229 MSRP, Google is once again competing with the heavy weights of the industry. Let’s see how they stack up. Design The Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds have been redesigned compared to the previous generation model. Gone are the bulbous...

The 2024 generation of Pro iPhones brings mostly minor changes - refinement and fine-tuning. That includes an even wider range of camera capabilities, a new button (possibly in the camera category, but also kind of its own thing), design tweaks, a tiny bit larger display, a small battery capacity increase. But the 16 Pro in particular can almost claim to have introduced a more principal hardware upgrade - the 5x telephoto camera of the Maxes replaces the 3x unit of the 15 Pro. So if you had to choose now, should you be getting the new 16 Pro, or maybe save a buck and track down the last...

A couple of weeks ago, the Samsung Galaxy S24+ was down to £800 for a 12/256GB model, now that same unit will cost you £50 less. You can also pick up a 512GB phone, but that is a £100 upgrade. The S24+ has a 6.7" QHD+ LTPO display, an Exynos 2400 chipset and a 4,900mAh battery with 45W/15W charging, plus a 50+10+12MP camera.

Back in 2018, Dai Nippon Printing unveiled an e-ink dress that could create new designs on the fly. Last year, BMW showed off the i Vision Dee concept car, which similarly had color-changing e-ink panels. Wouldn't it be a shame to have such things if your phone couldn’t change its look to match them? Infinix loves experimenting with technology like this. The Infinix Concept Phone 2021 had both a solid electrochromic film that could change colors and an electroluminescent film that could light up. Earlier this year we got hands-on time with another prototype device, which used E-Color Shift...

Unlucky number or the best one yet? The OnePlus 13 is one of the best performing Android phones for October, thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The new model also boosts battery capacity to 6,000mAh (600mAh more than the 12). OnePlus 13 Also, it leaves optical fingerprint readers behind in favor of an ultrasonic reader. Plus, it finally brings a dust and water resistance rating worthy of a flagship (IP68/69 vs. IP65). It can’t be all good news, though, the OnePlus 13 is slightly more expensive than its predecessor – the base 12/256GB model starts at CNY 4,500, while...

Small phones – well, smaller phones – have ardent supporters and it is quite evident in last week’s poll. The Xiaomi 15 is not exactly tiny, but it is smaller than the majority of Androids, especially the high-end ones, which rarely dip below 6.7” displays. The Xiaomi 15 had a very positive reception that can only improve with strong reviews. There was a sentiment that the phone is too expensive (indeed, it costs a bit more than the Xiaomi 14 last year), but the overall impression is a good one. Xiaomi 15’s chief rival may be the vivo X200 Pro mini, but we’re yet to see each company’s plan...
