The Galaxy A56 was the best-selling phone in Europe last year, plus it and the A36 were two of the Top 10 most popular phones in our database.

According to a new rumor out of China, Apple is having some trouble placing the Face ID sensor array under the screen. It has so far been rumored multiple times that the company is working on effectively destroying the Dynamic Island by doing this, thus only leaving the camera sensor hole-punched into the screen. And yet, if this rumor is true, it looks like the Dynamic Island will live on, even in the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Apple will shrink the island, but it will still be there. The company is still a long way from a properly "full screen" experience with...

Hey there, vivo V70 FE! We've got the new upper midranger that recently became official in Indonesia. Ours is the Ocean Blue, but there's also Muse Purple and Titanium Silver. vivo went for a unibody feel with the V70 FE - the rear panel curves into the frame mimicking a seamless connection, and the entire phone is matte, which reinforces the feeling. There are two cameras on the back of the V70 FE - the main one is a 200MP 1/1.56-inch imager with a 24mm f/1.9 wide-angle lens. But vivo reckons there is plenty of resolution to cover distances all the way to 85mm with no issues (and...

The display connector can only be accessed through the back, which means you can't just replace the screen - you basically have to disassemble the whole phone just to get to the screen's connector. Samsung's battery release mechanism is praised, and is even...
