Google Pixel 11 Pro XL leaked CAD-based renders complete the family

With the release today of CAD-based renders showing the upcoming Google Pixel 11 Pro XL, we now have the full family covered. First it was the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, then came the Pixel 11, most recently the Pixel 11 Pro, and now the Pro XL. Obviously, this looks just like the rest of the non-folding family, adopting the standout feature too - we're talking about the redesigned camera island. It's still oval-shaped and still takes up most of the phone's width, but now has an all-black look from one side to the other. The Pixel 11 Pro XL is said to sport a 6.8-inch screen, just like...

The Redmi K90 Ultra has now received its compulsory 3C certification in China ahead of its launch, following a specs leak from February. The device is confirmed to support 100W fast wired charging. The Redmi K90 Ultra is believed to rock the model number 2604FRK1EC. The Redmi K80 Ultra, its predecessor, launched back in June of last year, so we expect the K90 Ultra to be made official in June at the latest.

Motorola Razr 70's colors leak

The Motorola Razr 70's specs got outed by its TENAA certification in China earlier this month, and today a new leak brings us some more details about it. The phone will allegedly launch in three colors: Pantone Sparkling Green, Pantone Hematite, and a pink hue that will most likely also get a Pantone color name. The Hematite version has a fabric-like texture, the green one resembles carbon fiber, while the pink model apparently has "a different finish altogether", according to the source of this leak, but no more details are provided. Motorola Razr 60 The Razr 70 has a 6.9-inch...



Tecno Pova Curve 2 hands-on

This is the Tecno Pova Curve 2 and its key asset is its massive 8,000mAh battery. But there's more to it so let's have a look. The phone just launched in India and is available in Mystic Purple, Melting Silver (ours), and Storm Titanium, and in either 8/128GB or 8/256GB options. It starts from INR 27,999 (€258 and £221, converted) and ships with a case, 45W charger, and a USB-A to USB-C cable. Tecno Pova Curve 2 So about that battery. It's truly impressively sized, right?

Motorola is working on three new Edge 70 phones

Motorola's Edge 70 family is going to get bigger in the near future, according to a new leak from the legendary Evan Blass. The company has already made the Edge 70, Edge 70 Fusion, and Edge 70 Fusion+ official, and the Signature too (which is an honorary member of the family since it was initially rumored to be called Edge 70 Ultra). However, three more devices are allegedly going to join these. We're talking about the Edge 70 Pro, the Edge 70 Pro+, and the Edge 70 Pro Lite. Yes, that last one's name is pretty much a contradiction in terms - how can it be Pro and Lite at the same time?...

Google Pixel 11 Pro CAD-based renders leak too

Yesterday, CAD-based renders showing the upcoming Google Pixel 11 leaked, and today the Pixel 11 Pro has received the exact same treatment. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold was first, though, earlier this month. So we're now only missing the Pixel 11 Pro XL to have the full family portrait. Like the Pixel 11, the Pixel 11 Pro has a redesigned camera island that, while keeping the oval shape of its predecessor, is now covered with dark glass all the way - the colored part is gone. On the other side, the Pixel 11 Pro's screen bezels are okay, but will probably end up being thicker than some...

Samsung's new app temporarily cures motion sickness through earbuds

Samsung has launched a new Android app that can work with its Galaxy Buds4 Pro to temporarily rid you of motion sickness. The idea comes from a Japanese study performed at the University of Nagoya, where researchers found that listening to a 100Hz sine wave at 75-85dB for several minutes can temporarily alleviate motion sickness by improving balance. This is exactly what Samsung's Hearapy app does. You can download it from the Play Store, and while the company says you should use it with its Galaxy Buds4 Pro, there's no stopping you from trying to use it with other earbuds too - or even...



Huawei Chairman promises expanded satellite connectivity across cheaper phones and watches

Huawei Consumer Business Group Chairman of the Board of Directors Richard Yu has some good news for fans of both the brand and satellite connectivity. He promises that Huawei will expand satellite connectivity to lower-priced devices, so it won't be confined to high-end models only. This will be a new chapter in the company's journey, and it's necessary because, according to Yu, mobile networks don't cover enough of the world. Thus, connectivity struggles still exist. So, satellite tech is the solution. Yu also promised that satellite connectivity will come to affordable...



Gurman: iOS 27's Siri Extensions feature will get its own App Store section

Last week, a report revealed that Apple plans to let Siri connect with third-party AI chatbots through a new ‘Extensions’ feature in iOS 27. Now, additional details about the feature have surfaced. In his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that the Extensions feature will have its own dedicated section within the App Store, effectively serving as a marketplace for AI integrations. Users will be able to browse this section and add third-party chatbots to Siri, enabling them to run directly within the assistant. However, the feature will only work with apps that...



Oppo Pad Mini showcased ahead of launch with extremely thin and light body

Oppo's premium small tablet Pad Mini is expected to arrive in April alongside the Find X9 Ultra, Watch X3 Mini and the Enco Clip 2 earbuds, but an Oppo official shared a short teaser video of the tablet ahead of launch. And although short, we got a glimpse of what to expect. The Pad Mini is described as "incredibly thin and light", featuring razor-thin bezels. By the looks of it, it features an aluminum-clad chassis with a simplistic design and a dual-camera setup on the back, which corroborates earlier findings. Speaking of earlier findings, recent leaks suggest that...

Top 10 trending phones of week 13

After its predecessors dominated our trending chart for the past two years, it's hardly surprising that the Samsung Galaxy A57 topped our trending chart in the week of its debut. It enjoyed a comfortable lead over second placed Poco X8 Pro Max and the Galaxy S26 Ultra in third. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14379, 1#] Poco X8 Pro came in fourth, followed by the outgoing Galaxy A56. The other member of Samsung's new mid-range duo, the Galaxy A37, came in sixth. We then have the iPhone 17 Pro Max, followed by the OnePlus 15T and the Galaxy A17.

Hot take: Samsung Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A57 and A37 mid-rangers this week and they will go on sale in early April. We will be doing full reviews on these two in due time, but we wanted to share our initial thoughts first. The Galaxy A56 and A36 were very successful In its report for Q2 last year, the IDC highlighted both the Galaxy A56 and A36 as key growth drivers for Samsung. The A56 was also the best-selling phone in Europe last year, beating out the iPhone 16. It didn’t do so well in the US, but that’s because Samsung bungled the launch – more on that in a bit. Also, in our Top 20 most popular...

The Samsung Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 will be available from April 9 or 10 (it varies a bit by country) with a starting price of $550 / €530 / ₹63,000 and $450 / €430 / ₹57,000, respectively.

And it has a new chipset, the Exynos 1680, which replaces the 1580. The bezels around the 6.7” 120Hz 1080p+ display are slimmer...



Weekly poll results: the Oppo Find N6 gets praise, but limited availability is an issue

The Oppo Find N6 will be a very popular phone – and it could have been even more popular, but Oppo decided not to offer it in Europe. Otherwise, the N6 could have hit an impressive 50% positive vote in last week’s poll or gone even higher, assuming the phone reviews well (we have a review unit and we’re already testing it). The phone’s predecessor, the Find N5, impressed us last year and the N6 brings several important upgrades like the “zero-feel” crease, the 200MP main camera and the larger 6,000mAh Si/C battery. Of course, foldables aren’t for everyone – many in the comments said...

PlayStation consoles get massive price hikes across the board

According to the company's blog post, which lists all the updated prices, there is "continued pressures in the global economic landscape".

Apple is opening up Siri to more third party AI chatbots, new rumor claims

According to a new rumor from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who is usually a very reliable source of Apple-related information, the company is planning some big changes to Siri in iOS 27, which is due to be unveiled on June 8. We don't just mean that the long-awaited, much-delayed AI-infused Gemini-powered Siri will finally make an appearance. Gurman now says Apple will also "open up" Siri and will let it run any AI service via an extension that plugs into Siri if a respective third-party AI app allows this. Thus, ChatGPT will no longer be an exclusive partner for Siri. Currently, when...
