Ayaneo reveals the chipset powering its Pocket Play smartphone

Ayaneo started teasing the Pocket Play, its first smartphone, back in November, and then in December it showed us what it would look like, Sony Ericsson Xperia Play vibes and all. Today, Ayaneo has finally revealed the chipset sitting at the helm of the Pocket Play. It's MediaTek's Dimensity 9300. That's an odd choice, given that the SoC in question came out in 2023. Sure, it was MediaTek's top dog of 2023, but it's more than two years old. And if, we assume for pricing purposes, Ayaneo wanted to go with MediaTek instead of Qualcomm (since MediaTek's top of the line SoCs are always...

Apple iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 16

Apple's iPhone 17 may look like business as usual at first glance, but this year's update is a bigger jump than we've come to expect from the vanilla line. In fact, the jump from the iPhone 16 to the iPhone 17 feels like one of the more meaningful generational steps we've seen in recent years. Of course, the iPhone 16 remains a solid performer. But compared side by side, the iPhone 17 clearly feels like the more modern and complete package - not just a small refinement, but a proper evolution for Apple's mainstream iPhone. However, as a few of our test findings will suggest, newer is...

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra might get full Linux terminal support

We know that most people won’t care about this at all, but if you are reading this article, you are likely among the minority that might actually rejoice to learn that Samsung might be catching up to Google’s own Pixel devices in this one admittedly very niche aspect.

And while this sounds impressive, Samsung is not disclosing any unit counts so we don't really know how much demand there was. Samsung ran a few flash sales already in South Korea, and the availability was extremely limited over there...

Weekly poll: can the 200MP cameras of the Realme 16 Pro and 16 Pro+ get you to buy one?

A couple of weeks ago, Realme launched the 16 Pro and 16 Pro+.
