Introduction and unboxing Nothing's CMF brand is moving fast. What started off as an affordable brand that relies on style to compensate for any technical deficiencies has now evolved into a market disruptor that covers everything up to the midrange. We're now getting more and more "Pro" devices from CMF - a phone Pro, a watch Pro, and, yes, the Headphone Pro we have for review today. It's a feature-rich set that looks Pro but costs less than you'd think. At just €99, it already undercuts a lot of its competitors. CMF even runs a 20% discount from time to time, and the "Sold Out"...

Realme showed off a prototype smartphone with a 10,000 mAh battery in May and said it would launch a 7,500 mAh battery phone this year, while also revealing that a 10,000 mAh model was coming soon. Well, so far, we've only got 7,000 mAh battery smartphones from Realme, which include the flagship GT 8 Pro. While there's no word from Realme on the commercial availability of a 10,000 mAh battery phone, the Editor-in-Chief of a Russian blog has shared a picture of it, revealing key details. This unnamed Realme smartphone, pictured below and having model designation RMX5107, packs a 10,001 mAh...

It's that time of the year again, when we who are lucky to have indulged in the best possible phones all year get to pick our favorites from the past 12 months. That I'm in a very privileged position is not lost on me either, so first and foremost, thank all of you for reading and watching us all year; it's you who make this all possible! I'm Ivan, one of the editors here at GSMArena, and the guy who takes the majority of phone shots that grace our homepage! I look at the past entries in this list of mine and notice some not-so-subtle changes. For one, there's no longer a Samsung phone in...

Tecno unveiled the Pova Curve in May, and we expected its successor to arrive during the same period next year. But it appears the Tecno Pova Curve 2 may launch early, as its render and specs have surfaced online. The source claims that the Tecno Pova Curve 2 will be powered by the yet-to-be-announced Dimensity 7100 SoC. The smartphone will run Android 16-based HiOS 16 UI out of the box and have three memory options - 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/256GB. The Tecno Pova Curve 2 will pack a 6.78" 144Hz curved AMOLED display of 1.5K resolution, and under the hood will be an 8,000 mAh...

The information comes from an official support page in Hindi, which also clearly states that the feature will be rolling out gradually to users, so don’t expect to see this option right away, if at all. Reading through the support page, the way it works is that once every 12 months, Google will allow you to “change” the email address associated with your Google account. In actuality, the process is more like adding a new alias email to your account since your old email address will not be deleted and will remain functional. You still get one email inbox and outbox, but presumably, you will...

Motorola seems to be on a roll with announcements. At the end of October, the company launched the Edge 70, as the global version of the X70 Air. As the name suggests, it is a device that emphasizes a slim body. We aren't exactly sure why Motorola decided to go through with copying the trend after both Apple and Samsung had rather disappointing sales on their "air" devices. Still, for better or worse, all signs point towards an upcoming X70 Air Pro model, likely to be called the Edge 70 Pro globally. Motorola put out an official teaser image for the X70 Air Pro, stating that it will be...

Google's hardware division didn't have a particularly strong 2025, releasing new phones that didn't really stand out as particularly innovative. That's not the best strategy in any market, but it's particularly damaging in those outside the US where more makers are present. And, sure, Google isn't primarily a hardware company, but it makes phones, earbuds, and smartwatches every year and fails to make a meaningful market impact against the likes of Samsung and Apple, its main rivals. Still, Google's phones are getting better and better even if not always at an impressive pace. There are...

Before you get too excited, nothing is confirmed as of yet. We only recently learned about the Samsung Exynos 2600 chip – the first to be made on a 2nm process. Said chip is rumored to power the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip8 and potentially the S26 family in at least one country. Back when the Exynos 2600 was unveiled, Samsung was suspiciously silent about its modem. Now details have started coming in about an Exynos Modem 5410, which could be a part of the Exynos 2600 package. The Exynos Modem 5410 integrates LTE DTC, NB IoT NTN, and NR NTN on a single chip. NB IoT NTN, or NarrowBand...
