The Xiaomi Redmi A5 4G is coming to Europe at a very affordable price

The Xiaomi Redmi A5 4G is currently in a rather weird spot. Technically, it hasn't been formally announced yet, but it is already selling in stores in Bangladesh. Frankly, we can't say for sure whether it will get an official unveiling of any kind but in the meantime we have heard that it is already gearing up to make its way to Europe. This could be under the Poco C71 moniker, but regardless, it seems to be the same hardware. Xiaomi Redmi A5 colors Some specs "highlights" include a 6.88-inch, 120Hz, 720p+ LCD rated for 1,500 nits of brightness, a Unisoc T7250 chipset...

Poco F7 Pro in for review

Poco is so excited for the launch of the F7 series that it sent out review units early – the full reveal is set for Thursday next week, but this is already at the office. Wave “hello” to the Poco F7 Pro. Unlike previous F-series models, the Pro is no longer the top dog – that honor goes to the Poco F7 Ultra, which is also in for review. Both F7 phones use the same overall design – the Pro is the black phone below, the Ultra is the yellow one. This is in contrast with last year when the two F6 models looked quite different from one another. Poco F7 Pro (left) and Poco F7 Ultra...

Weekly poll results: the Nothing Phone (3a) is better value for money than its Pro sibling

Phones with better specs tend to do better in polls, but last week’s poll is a reminder that value-for-money can often be the most important factor – the Nothing Phone (3a) has the upper hand over its more capable but pricier sibling. The Nothing Phone (3a) is proving to be popular, though not universally loved. We are working on a detailed review and maybe that will sway more people. When comparing the two 3a models, a few people are interested in the Pro over the vanilla model, but the real threat is the flagship Nothing Phone (3a) – people sound quite excited for that one. The...

Google Pixel 10's GPU might come courtesy of Imagination

The possible connection between Google's upcoming Tensor G5 chip and Imagination Technologies as a GPU vendor is not exactly new. Various reports and rumors have already hinted at that, but now we have yet another interesting industry source on the matter. Keep up with us here for a second since the explanation is a bit complicated. Last month, there was a RISC-V Day Tokyo conference in Japan. One of the materials that came out from the conference was a blog post by postgraduate student Yang Yanling detailing RISC-V and Imagination GPU integration. Imagination Technologies themselves...

Google Pixel 9a in for review

Today we have with us Google's latest smartphone, the Pixel 9a. As with the other A-series devices, this is to become the most affordable model in the current generation Pixel lineup and starts at a relatively modest $499. The unit we have with us comes in the Obsidian variant, which is completely blacked out like the monolith from 2001. The 9a also comes in blue, white, and a pink version depending on your region. The front of the device features the comically thick bezels that the A-series has come to be known for underneath a flat Gorilla Glass 3. The aluminum side frame is...

Realme 14T surfaces early: a 5G phone with an IP69K rating and 100W fast charging

Realme’s official storefront on AliExpress has jumped the gun as it posted a landing page for the Realme 14T, along with some details about the phone. A third-party retailer did the same and even included images. Let’s have a look. According to what’s written on the AliExpress page – which may not be 100% accurate! – the 14T will be a dual-SIM phone with 5G connectivity. It will also feature NFC. There is a fingerprint reader, but it's not quite clear whether it's under the display or not (we're not seeing it on the side). The phone will have a 6.6” display with 1,080 x 2,340px...

Poco F7 Ultra in for review

Say hello to the Poco F7 Ultra, the first Ultra phone from the brand. While its official launch is still a few days away, our review unit made its way to the office, and these are our first impressions. Our F7 Ultra unit comes in the bold Poco yellow color. There’s a quad-curved glass back which helps with ergonomics so it doesn’t dig into your palm like some other sharper phones do. Our scales measured the F7 Ultra at just over 210 grams, which is in line with last year’s Poco F6 Pro. Poco also incorporated a double-texture finish on the back. The top half is glossy, while the...

Huawei Freebuds 6 come with improved sound, AI noise cancelling

Huawei announced the Freebuds 6 alongside the new Pura X foldable smartphone and these TWS earphones bring a number of improvements over their predecessor. The buds keep the water-drop shape from the Freebuds 5, but Huawei managed to lower the size of the stem and the weight.

Motorola unveiled the Razr 50 Ultra last June, which was introduced as the Razr+ 2024 in the US.

Today, we are looking at a new version of the Razr 60 Ultra, whose GIF was shared by leakster Evan Blass on X. The GIF shared by Blass shows the Razr 60 Ultra "in wood" from different angles.

Gemini now turns your documents into podcasts, collaborates with you too

Google's Gemini team seems to be on a roll lately. After launching Gemini with personalization a few days ago, today Gemini is getting two new features: Canvas and Audio Overview. These are quite exciting despite their dull names. Let's start with the latter. Audio Overview basically transforms any document you upload to Gemini into a podcast - or rather, it presents the information in the document in an audio podcast form, with two AI hosts. This was first seen in Google's NotebookLM, and it's now making its way to Gemini. What's more, it's available for everyone using Gemini, you don't...

Google Tensor G5 leak details key changes

A new report from Android Authority details the upcoming Pixel 10 series’ custom Tensor G5 chipset. The new report corroborates previous claims that the G5 will be designed by Google and fabbed by TSMC instead of Samsung and we get a lot more details on the components inside the upcoming chip. Tensor G5 will be fabbed on TSMC’s 3nm-class node and Google will use Arm Cortex CPU cores. The big difference on the G5 is that Google will opt for an Imagination Technologies GPU, namely the IMG DXT, which replaces the Arm Mali-G715 MP7 from the Tensor G4. The other notable change is the...

iPhone 18 Pro series rumored to get second-generation Apple modem

The iPhone 16e is the first Apple device to feature an in-house cellular modem, and Apple is reportedly hard at work developing a new and improved version of its C1 modem for future devices. The C1 is something of a test for Cupertino; it utilizes a mix of 4-7nm baseband components, a 55nm Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) and lacks mmWave support. Apple is unlikely to implement it for its iPhone 17 Pro series, which will rely on Qualcomm modems instead. But that may change with next year's iPhone 18 series which could see the Apple C2 modem. According to Pu, Apple will...

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro runs Geekbench, reveals its chipset

Back in January a rumor told us that Samsung was working on the Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro tablet, which would be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset. Now, the device has been spotted in the Geekbench online database, since a prototype ran the benchmark. The listing confirms that it is indeed the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 at the helm.

The tablet is expected to join the non-Pro Tab Active5, which was announced in January, in Samsung's portfolio soon. The...

iPhone 16e survives bend test, gets opened up on video

Apple ended the iPhone SE line this month and released the iPhone 16e, which is more expensive than any SE ever was, but is still cheaper than the iPhone 16 - if not by much. You do give up a camera and some of the A18 chipset's prowess to go for the cheaper option, however - oh, and colors too, as the iPhone 16e is only available in black and white. But how about durability? For that there's always Zack from JerryRigEverything, and he subjected the newest iPhone to his trademark test. Starting with the screen, the glass scratches at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, with deeper grooves...

Samsung Galaxy A56 in for review

We have the brand new Galaxy A56 in the office and in for review, folks. Ours is the Awesome Lightgray model and it ships with a USB-C cable. You need to get a case or charger additionally - and you might need to as one of the bigger upgrades over the Galaxy A55 is the addition of 45W charging. The Galaxy A56 feels nice in the hand. At 6.7-inch it's a large phone but its frame is comfortable. The volume and power buttons occupy their own raised island in the frame. We love what Samsung did with the frame. The raised island for the buttons is rounded and has a smooth finish but...
