Poco X8 unboxing

The Poco X8 made its global debut alongside the more premium F9 Pro and F9 Ultra, and what it lacks in premiumness, it makes up for in battery. Let's begin. The Poco X8 is already on sale. It costs €400 for the 8/256GB model, and €450 if you want 12GB of RAM instead of 8. There are three colors: black, white, and orange. In the box, you'll find a USB cable, as well as a case. The case is your typical grey rubber affair, but it does its job. You'll need to supply your own charger for the Poco X8. The phone takes 67W, which is a good thing, considering it's packing north of...

Samsung Galaxy A35's One UI 9 beta update release is imminent

Apple apparently has two game controllers in the works

Practically anything Apple releases tends to enjoy at least some popularity. Unfortunately, like with most of the industry, the days of outright silly products like the iPod Socks (yes, we are not making this up) seem to be gone now. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t still room for somewhat stranger products. Apparently, Cupertino is working on two different game controllers, or at least that’s what code found inside macOS 26.7 suggests. The macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate code actually seems to contain a bunch of references to unannounced devices, including camera-equipped AirPods and...

Samsung Galaxy A18 4G leaks in full: renders, specs and price

Wait, Galaxy A18 4G? Isn't that still way off in the future and meant to come out in 2027? Well, no. We get the confusion. Unless you live in the US, the Galaxy A17 5G and Galaxy A17 4G actually came out last year in 2026. The Galaxy A27, A37 and even the A07 are, indeed, 2026 models, but Samsung has decided to stick to its one-year refresh cycle rather than worry about naming and year consistency. Anyway, the A17 4G is about a year old now, so it's time for the A18 4G. Samsung Galaxy A18 4G This early look is for the 4G model in particular, though we have little...

Tecno bezel-less concept phone hands-on

The race to 0mm display bezels has taken a back seat in recent years, but Tecno decided to jump-start the whole ordeal with its bezel-less concept phone. We got to hold it in person here at IFA Berlin 2026, and these are some early impressions. While there are no visible black borders around the display, the metal frame feels wider compared to regular phones. So, did Tecno just squeeze the bezels under the phone’s frame? Kind of. It's actually more complicated than that. See, Tecno is using a dual-layer cover glass with the bottom portion wrapping around the midframe and concealing...

Xiaomi 18 Fold with XRING O3 chip showcased at IFA 2026

Xiaomi is set to launch its 18 Fold next week, and we got to check it out at IFA 2026 ahead of its unveiling. Spoiler alert: the device was placed behind glass, so we could not actually get our hands on it, but we did get to marvel at its design, and the first thing that struck us was that bright red color. It certainly pops and is a lot more vibrant in person than some of the earlier shots we saw online. Moving on to the actual design, the 18 Fold adopts the short and wide “passport” look, which made headlines with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8, and we certainly dig this form...

Poco F9 Pro in for review

Looking at the Poco F9 Pro, you'd be forgiven for not wanting an F9 Ultra. Yes, global users are getting a big battery reduction - the Redmi K100 Pro, on which the Poco F9 Pro is based, has a whopper of a battery at 8,580mAh, while the Poco makes do with 6,330mAh. But it's still not bad at all. In the hands, the Poco F9 Pro is a premium-feeling smartphone. It's glass on both sides and brushed metal in the middle. It's also a comfortable slab to handle for long periods, thanks to its reasonably sized 6.59-inch display. A key difference between the Poco F9 Pro and its Ultra...
