Weekly poll results: the Realme GT 8 Pro needs a price cut

The Realme GT 8 Pro is having some identity issues – is it a flagship or a flagship killer? Its €1,100 price tag says the former, its hardware says the latter. And so, the conclusion from last week’s poll is pretty simple – the GT 8 Pro needs a price cut. The phone’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and massive 7,000mAh battery certainly impressed us in our review. And the 6.79” OLED display is a sharp, high-quality 1440p+ 144Hz panel with Dolby Vision. But it’s not an LTPO panel. Also, the USB-C port is only USB 2.0. Video stabilization could have been better. The same goes for the ultra-wide and...

Field Report: I took the vivo X300 Pro on a trip to Spain and came back impressed

After using the vivo X300 Pro as my only camera on a recent trip to the Andalusia region in Spain, I walked away convinced that vivo has created one of this year’s strongest cameraphone contenders. While it may not introduce dramatic hardware leaps over its predecessors, the cumulative refinement across hardware, software, and accessories has resulted in a remarkably capable and versatile device. Where it shined Besides the great image quality of the photos I took, what stood out most in my time with the phone was the maturity of the camera software. The interface is well-organized...

OnePlus 15 finally clears the FCC, US launch might be very near

The OnePlus 15 made its Chinese debut in October and then went global earlier this month. However, for the US market in particular, there was a hurdle. While the company submitted all the necessary documentation to the US FCC for certification of the device as usual, the US government shutdown prevented the agency from actually issuing its certification of the phone, despite the testing having been completed. [#InlinePriceWidget,14206,1#] This has resulted in a delay in the OnePlus 15's launch in the US, where it still isn't available. However, there's some very good news today, as its...

Huawei Pura X2 is on the way, here are the first details

Huawei's Pura X launched in March as an entirely different foldable from what we'd been used to at that point. It's a 'vertical' foldable, like the Flips of the world, but it's got a very unconventional 16:10 aspect ratio when unfolded, which makes it wider than any Flip that's ever been released. It now seems like Huawei's form factor experiment has proven successful enough to warrant a successor. According to a new rumor out of China, the company is already working on the Pura X2.

Report: OmniVision unveils its own high-end 200MP sensor, the OVB0D

OmniVision also has a new high-end 200MP camera sensor for upcoming camera flagships, to rival the freshly announced Sony LYTIA 901. According to a report in Korean media, the OmniVision OVB0D is a 200MP 1/1.1-inch imager, so slightly larger, than the 1/1.12-inch LYTIA 901. The sensor features a Bayer filter, but with a different dual on-chip re-mosaic structure to the LYTIA's more complex QQBC. Technically, and we're hypothesizing a bit, due to the lack of proper information, Sony's sensor could have a slight edge in detail, because of its more advanced Quad-Quad Bayer Coding...

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE vs. Galaxy S25 Plus

With this year's Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, Samsung brings the model much closer to the S25 Series. Size- and design-wise, it's identical to the Galaxy S25+, while it shares the full-fledged Exynos 2400 SoC with last year's Galaxy S24+. Compared to the S25+, the Galaxy S25 FE is around 30% cheaper in Europe and almost 50% cheaper in the US (when you account for storage and you shop from third-party retailers). Based on pricing and the specs sheet alone, the Galaxy S25 FE is the go-to option between the two if you are on a budget, and if that's the case, well, it's already settled. But if...

Weekly poll results: OnePlus 15 may be in trouble as people want to go back to the OnePlus 13 days

Technological progress is irreversible – or is it? The OnePlus 15 has found itself in the midst of a controversy because several of its components are seen as downgrades compared to the OnePlus 13. Just compare the reception in the OnePlus 13 poll from last year - the hype was tangible. The screen? 1272p+ instead of 1440p+. The camera? Smaller sensors in the main (1/1.56” vs. 1/1.43”) and the telephoto module (1/2.76” vs. 1/1.95”). The price? Basically the same. And that is the central point of the argument – the OnePlus 15 costs about as much as a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra right...
