Oppo launched the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro in China last week, and the two will be going global on October 28. Ahead of that, you may have been anxious about the global models' battery capacities, since a lot of times the huge batteries that are available in China shrink on their way to other markets (especially Europe). Well, fret not for this will not be the case for Oppo's new flagships. According to the devices' EU Energy Labels, they have the same battery capacities as in China. In fact, according to a tipster over on X, their full spec sheets will be unchanged. Oppo Find X9...
We had the chance to handle the vivo X300 Pro at the launch of the X300 series in China, but the phone is now at the office and in for a proper review. We can also put it side by side with its predecessor, which reveals a few differences. Most notably, the new phone is smaller in all dimensions. The vivo X300 Pro, right, and the X200 Pro on the right A key difference is in the displays. The X300 Pro has a flat-edged screen, whereas the X200 Pro has a slight curve to its display. The vivo faithfuls here at HQ are unsure whether they like their old, slightly curved screen or the...

Huawei's Mate 80 series could be announced as soon as November, according to a new rumor from Digital Chat Station on Weibo.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max had just about 1 month of being able to call itself the best Pro Max around! The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max may be a corny namestealer, but it's about as serious on the specs front as you can get. What immediately grabs the attention is the rear screen, so let's talk about it.

It technically supports third-party apps, but only Chinese ones are allowed for now. Hardly surprising, since the phone is only available in China and...

Apple has allegedly selected Sunny Optical as its primary variable aperture lens supplier and is ready to implement the solution with next year’s iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. This is not the first...
