Apple thinks 128GB is "lots of storage"

Apple's iPhone 15 starts at 128GB of built-in storage, a chunk of which is of course taken up by iOS and the preinstalled apps. In 2024, you may think that's not really sufficient, or at least not a lot. But Apple begs to differ. The company says the iPhone 15, which, again, starts at 128GB, has "lots of storage for lots of photos" in the description for its newest video ad. Let's watch the ad together below. It's definitely got a catchy soundtrack, and the idea is pretty cool, and it's definitely well executed - we can't fault the ad for any of those things. It's just the premise...

The cheaper Galaxy Z Fold6 version might cost way less than you were expecting

For a while now Samsung has been rumored to shake up the foldable smartphone market this year by launching a cheaper version of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold6 alongside that device - most likely in early to mid July. This cheaper version of the foldable now has a rumored price tag, and it's shockingly good: under $800. That's less than half what the Fold5 started at. You should probably read that as $799, and don't forget that $799 could translate into €919 or something like that across the pond, but still - for a book-like foldable, this is incredibly impressive and could indeed catapult the...

Top 10 trending phones of week 11

After the Galaxy S24 Ultra dominated our trending chart in the first two months of 2024, March has seen new leaders every week. This time around it's the newly announced Galaxy A series members' turn to stand at the top.

Galaxy A35 and A55 official, Xperia 1 VI, 5 VI, 10 VI RAM leaks, Week 11 in review

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs. Samsung Galaxy S24+

There is no uncertainty in our minds that the S24 Ultra is the ultimate Galaxy - that is, if we exclude the Fold from the conversation so as not to complicate things. But does everyone need the ultimate Galaxy? Perhaps the more ordinary Plus is all the Galaxy you'd ever have any use for, and spending the premium for an Ultra isn't entirely warranted. With that in mind, we set off to find out how the two stack up, hopefully saving you some money in the process - or, alternatively, convincing you to go Ultra.

OnePlus thinks you should upgrade from your Pixel to the 12R

OnePlus launched the 12R internationally this year, for the first time (previous R models have been India-only). And the company seems very proud of this device, saying things like "the flagship killer is back" and launching a special Genshin Impact Edition even. Today a new ad was found (most likely on Facebook) by the folks over at 9to5Google in which OnePlus is telling you to "upgrade from your Pixel" to the 12R in order to get "more bang" for "less bucks". It's interesting that OnePlus is targeting Pixel owners specifically. What it's offering is no joke however - the OnePlus...

OnePlus confirms the Ace 3V is powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset

For a few weeks now, the upcoming OnePlus Ace 3V has been leaking left and right, and one thing all of the rumors about it had it common was an insistence that it would be powered by Qualcomm's yet-unannounced Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC. Up until today, that was still just a rumored spec for the device, however. But now, OnePlus itself confirmed it through its official Weibo account. The Ace 3V does indeed have the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 at the helm, and that could mean the next Nord device - Nord 4 or Nord 5, depending on whether OnePlus wants to skip the unlucky 4 - will also have this chipset...

Google Pixel Fold 2's screen sizes outed

Google's Pixel Fold 2 is coming later this year. Its announcement could happen in May at the company's annual developer conference, or in October at the annual Pixel phones launch - a rumor from last month tipped the scales a little bit toward the latter, but it's still not a given.
