Samsung has not introduced many significant upgrades to the camera hardware of its flagship Galaxy S series since the Galaxy S21 series, and it appears that the Galaxy S26 family will be no different.

Top 10 trending phones of week 39

Fro the third week in a row the 17 Pro Max is on top of our trending chart, except it's a different phone altogether. Xiaomi stole Apple's thunder with its new flagship lineup even though it's yet to debut outside China. The newly unveiled Xiaomi 17 Pro Max ended up the most popular device in our database this week, followed by its 17 Pro sibling. The globally announced 15T Pro made it an all-Xiaomi podium.

Google Pixel 10 vs. Pixel 10 Pro

For another year, Google's hardware department is outing not one but two compact-sized flagship phones. You've got the Google Pixel 10 as the "entry-level" flagship for the Pixel 10 series, while the Google Pixel 10 Pro builds upon the vanilla model with better cameras and comes with larger memory configurations.

Weekly poll: which one do you want, the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max?

Xiaomi unleashed the new 17-series of flagships this week (and the 15T duo, but we’ll save that for another week). This year there are three models – a vanilla Xiaomi 17 that takes over from the Xiaomi 15, a Xiaomi 17 Pro that has the same 6.3” size but offers more premium features (better tele camera, secondary screen) and the large model that is now called the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. The Xiaomi 17 starts at the same price that the Xiaomi 15 cost last year. This is no longer the best 6.3” Xiaomi flagship, though – that would be the Pro, which is around 10% more expensive. Finally, the Xiaomi...

Redmi Pad 2 Pro hands-on

Xiaomi hosted a big event this week where we saw the debut of several new devices, including the Redmi Pad 2 Pro. We got to test out the Pad 2 Pro with the Matte Glass screen, and these are our first impressions. For a €380 tablet, the Redmi Pad 2 Pro Matte Glass Version looks and feels like a more expensive device. It brings an aluminum unibody, which is cool to the touch, and at 610 grams, it has some heft to it, but not in a bad way. It actually feels lighter than what you’d expect from a tablet of this size, and it's fairly slim too at 7.5mm. The 12.1-inch IPS LCD features a...

Weekly poll results: Sony fans love the Xperia 10 VII

Sony makes phones like no other company on the market, but Sony fans are one of a kind too – they came out in force in last week’s poll and showed strong support for the Sony Xperia 10 VII. The new mid-ranger changes things up while staying true to the Xperia spirit. The perfectly rectangular display, the 3.5mm headphone jack and the microSD slot are must-haves for some and they also happen to be things you can’t get anywhere else. Not in this segment, anyway. There were some concerns about the price. Still, the vote went 5:1 in favor of “I want one” vs. “no, not at this price”. The...

Check out some iPhone Air photo samples, we've got selfies too

It's quite obvious that the new iPhone Air's key selling point isn't the camera, but that doesn't mean it can get away with mediocre image quality. The only camera on the back uses a familiar 48MP, 1/1.56" sensor coupled with an f/1.6 aperture. Apple promises lossless, optical-like zoom quality at 2x to compensate for the absence of a dedicated zoom camera. We'll reserve the judgment on how well that works until the review is complete and we've done a detailed analysis across all our test scenes, but for now here are some 1x and 2x shots. iPhone Air: 1x • 2x The...

But, if you ignore Xiaomi's screen occupying the island, we can't really see that much of a difference. Xiaomi says the design was inspired by the Mi 11 Ultra from 2021,...
