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...

Honor just unveiled three mid-range tablets – the Pad 10 Pro, which offers a more premium alternative to last year’s Pad 10, as well as the Pad X10 and Pad X10 Pro.

Redmi K90 Ultra certification reveals its wired charging capacity
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. According to previous rumors, it will have a 6.8-inch screen with a 165Hz refresh rate and "1.5K" resolution, the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 SoC at the helm, and an 8,500 mAh...
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? What's more, it's not silicon-carbon chemistry. And then, the phone is under 8 millimeters thick...
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...

Realme is gearing up to launch the successor to the Narzo 80 Lite in India soon, according to a new leak.

The Realme Narzo 100 Lite is tipped to be the first device in the upcoming Narzo 100 lineup, set to succeed the Narzo 90 series. However, since the Narzo 90 lineup did not include a Lite variant, the 100 Lite is likely to serve as a successor to last year’s Narzo 80 Lite.

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. The Redmi Note 15 completes this installment of...
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...

Weekly poll: will you buy the Samsung Galaxy A57 or the Galaxy A37?
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. Note that during the pre-order period, Samsung offers a free storage upgrade in some regions. How does that sound to you? Compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy A57 has a slimmer and lighter frame (6.9mm, 179g vs. 7.4mm, 198g) with better water resistance (IP68 vs. IP67). 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...
Weekly deals: Galaxy S25 FE on sale, OnePlus 15 and 15R prices drop, Pixel 10 also discounted

You can pre-order an A57 (8/128GB) for $550 or an A37 (6/128GB) for $450. But while we wait, let’s have a look at what else is available.

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". These do seem to happen quite regularly to Sony, as the company cited something similar last year when it increased PlayStation prices, as well as in 2022 when it also increased PlayStation prices.

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...
OnePlus Nord CE6 leaks in hands-on image, Nord CE6 Lite is on the way too
OnePlus is launching the Nord 6 on April 7. While this device has been leaking a lot lately, until today we weren't sure whether there will be a Nord CE6 too.

The design is clearly reminiscent of other recent Oppo and OnePlus smartphones. The same source says OnePlus will also launch the Nord CE6 Lite alongside the CE6 in May. OnePlus didn't launch a Nord CE5 Lite, so the last CE Lite device was the CE4...

Huawei Mate 80 Pro in for review
The Huawei Mate 80 Pro isn't a drastic change, specs-wise, to its predecessor, but makes one giant improvement in comparison - it's a globally available phone. And while the rollout is gradual, you can already order the phone in Malaysia with more markets joining soon. So let's look at it. The Mate 80 Pro is a pretty phone. Its design certainly has more character than that of its predecessor.

Apple's Dynamic Island will live on, new rumor claims
According to a new rumor out of China, Apple is having some trouble placing the Face ID sensor array under the screen. It has so far been rumored multiple times that the company is working on effectively destroying the Dynamic Island by doing this, thus only leaving the camera sensor hole-punched into the screen. And yet, if this rumor is true, it looks like the Dynamic Island will live on, even in the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Apple will shrink the island, but it will still be there. The company is still a long way from a properly "full screen" experience with...

Weekly poll results: the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is the fan favorite, while the (4a) takes a step back
Last year, the Nothing Phone (3a) was voted as having a better value than its (3a) Pro sibling, while people that might have bought the Pro were instead pulled towards the then-upcoming Nothing Phone (3) flagship. So, when we posted last week’s poll, we were sure that the (4a) would prevail over its Pro sibling. After all, the Nothing Phone (4a) closed the camera gap to the Pro. But look at its poll results – 25% of voters prefer the Pro, while some 40% of the vote is split between people who like it to various degrees with pricing emerging as a concern. Pricing was indeed a major...
Nothing Headphone (a) unboxing
Nothing has new over-ear headphones on the market, and they make the already aggressively-priced Nothing Headphone (1) seem overpriced. At £149 / $199 / €159, you're getting a lot for not a lot. Let's see the box. The Nothing Headphone (a) ships with a simple carrying bag, a USB-C cable, and a 3.5mm cable. The bag isn't padded, so it won't protect the headphones from damage, but you've gotta cut some corners to get a great deal. The Headphone (a) packs 40mm titanium-coated drivers, has three-level ANC, LDAC support, and a Hi-Resolution Audio Wireless certification. On the...
