Weekly poll: will you buy the Xiaomi 17T or the Xiaomi 17T Pro?

Last year, the Xiaomi 15T Pro easily won over the vanilla 15T in our poll. Now that the 17T generation has arrived, will history repeat itself? There is a good chance that it might not – the new vanilla model brings some key improvements that could improve its fortunes, but there are some issues too. The biggest issue may be the price – the Xiaomi 17T starts at €750, while the 17T Pro starts at €900 (for a 12/256GB phone in both cases). This is a €100 price hike compared to the 15T pair. We get it, everything has gotten more expensive, especially devices that need fast RAM and storage....

Weekly poll results: Android 17 with better security and AirDrop support has people excited

Last week, we asked you about which announcements coming out of Google I/O had you buzzing with excitement – in general, but also specifically for the upcoming Android 17 update. Starting with the top-level question, Android 17 was by far the best thing demoed at I/O 2026. Not surprising, given our audience. But the ranking of the other options did surprise us – barely anyone cared about Wear OS 7. The smartwatches lost to Gemini Intelligence and Android Auto (which were essentially tied) and even the new Googlebook design (the Android-powered laptops) sparked more interest. Some...

Weekly deals: the Galaxy A57 gets its first real discount, Galaxy A37 and S25 FE also on sale

It took a while, but the Samsung Galaxy A57 is finally up on Amazon – and it kicks things off with a $60 discount. That’s a bit less than the A37 discount, but it’s enough to shift the balance of power between the two. The A37 is the cheaper model and if you can live with 6GB of RAM and 128GB non-expandable storage, then yes, it is meaningfully cheaper. But the 256GB models of the A37 and A57 are currently only $10 apart. Samsung Galaxy A57 $60 off Read our review ...

iPhone 18 Pro colors reiterated in new leak

It’s safe to say that the Cosmic Orange colorway of the iPhone 17 Pro series is a major hit, so much so that most Android makers have repeatedly launched similar-looking hues on their own devices. But as popular as it is, it seems that the bright orange color will not be making its way to the iPhone 18 Pro series. We’ve seen leaks of the upcoming Pro iPhones' updated color palette, and we now have our best look yet, thanks to Sonny Dickson, who shared images of the iPhone 18 Pro dummy units.

Apple increases the trade-in valuations of most old iPhones, iPads, Macs and Watches

The prices of smartphones – of all electronics, really – are going up, so this might be a bad time to upgrade. However, this also means that old devices are retaining more value and Apple has recognized that as the company just updated the trade-in valuations on its US site. Many older iPhones are now worth a bit more than they were just a few days ago (we got the old numbers from the Wayback Machine).

The device's release date is tomorrow, May 26, and pre-orders were supposed to only start arriving then.

The official Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Fold Wide names surface online
