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...

Xiaomi TV Stick HD 2nd gen arrives with a faster chipset and HDR10+ support

Last year, Xiaomi released the TV Stick 4K 2nd gen with a more powerful chipset and HDR10+ support. Now the company is refreshing its basic TV Stick HD with similar features. Starting with the exterior, it uses the more rounded design of the 4K 2nd gen. Alas, the power port is still a micro-USB – come on, Xiaomi. Note that there is only one USB port and no microSD slot, so if you want to connect extra storage, you’ll have to look at Xiaomi’s TV Boxes. The original stick didn’t support USB-OTG and we’re not sure whether this one does, but that’s an awkward solution anyway. This stick is...

vivo just announced the X300s alongside the X300 Ultra, and Oppo is unveiling its competitor to the latter next month in the form of the Find X9 Ultra. But the company is also eager to let us know that it has an X300s competitor of sorts in the pipeline as well, namely the Find X9s Pro. The company has just published the teaser video you can see below on its official Weibo account. The Find X9s Pro will have a 200MP main camera and a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, which is a setup that has also been rumored in the past for the non-Pro Find X9s. There's also a 50MP ultrawide, and...

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 Narzo 100 Lite details leak, said to launch soon

Realme is gearing up to launch the successor to the Narzo 80 Lite in India soon, according to a new leak. Called the Narzo 100 Lite, the upcoming device is expected to be a budget offering, said to come in two color options and three RAM/storage configurations. 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.

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...

Apple discontinues the Mac Pro after twenty years

Apple has discontinued the Mac Pro. The venerable desktop computer had a twenty-year run and served as the flagship model in the company's lineup for most of its lifetime. The company has since removed the product from its website. The Mac Pro first launched in 2006 as a replacement for the then flagship Power Mac G5. Similar to its predecessor, the Mac Pro was a desktop tower PC with a modular design that allowed the user to replace the CPU, memory, optical and storage drives, and PCI expansion cards. The basic format of the Mac Pro remained unchanged till 2012, even as it...

All iPhone 18 models and the iPhone Air 2 are now rumored to get this improvement

Apple was long rumored to get rid of the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, but recently a new rumor claimed that wouldn't happen, and instead, they would just have a smaller Dynamic Island. Today, a new rumor from Ice Universe in China brings some more context. According to him, it's not just the Pros that will get the smaller Dynamic Island - but the entire series, including the iPhone 18 and the iPhone Air 2. On the other hand, the screen bezels will stay exactly the same as they are in the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air,...

The new Xiaomi Redmi A7 Pro has a massive 6.9” display and a 6,000mAh battery

Xiaomi quietly released the affordable Redmi A7 Pro – it’s currently available in Italy and Indonesia. This phone is very similar to the Redmi A5 and Poco C71, except (as far as we can tell) it runs full-fat Android 16 / HyperOS 3 instead of the lighter Go Edition like the other two models. The A7 Pro is powered by the same Unisoc T7250 chipset, a rather old 12nm part. The more worrying spec is the 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM – that’s not a lot for full Android and apps (Go Edition apps are lighter). For storage, you can have either 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.2. The good news is that there’s a microSD...

Samsung Galaxy S26 with 128GB storage exists but you probably don't want it

A little over a week after debuting its Galaxy S26 Ultra Enterprise Edition, Samsung has seemingly also introduced a corporate-exclusive version of the Galaxy S26. The more notable bit is that we’re seeing two versions of the S26 Enterprise Edition, with one featuring 256GB storage and retailing for £899 and a second option with 128GB storage with a retail price of £660. The 128GB storage version is pretty weird considering the regular Galaxy S26 starts with 256GB storage. The £239 lower starting price is pretty noteworthy too, but it's still not a regular phone that you can just buy...

This is Samsung's iPhone Fold competitor

Yesterday a leak brought us CAD-based renders of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8, and today the same source is back with some fresh new CAD-based renders, this time of the Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide, which is apparently launching right alongside the Fold8 and Flip8 this summer. As you may already know from previous rumors, the Fold8 Wide has a wider form-factor, just like its name implies, and is intended to placate Apple's iPhone Fold (or iPhone Ultra), which will also have a wider aspect ratio. The point of these is to not have a square inner screen, but one with an aspect ratio more...

Selfix iPhone case hands-on: a case with a rear display and a microSD slot

The Selfix case aims to turn your iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max into an all-in-one vlogging system. It can also come in handy if you shoot video with an action camera or a drone. The case is currently on Kickstarter. The key selling point – and the reason behind the name – is the display on the back of the case. It allows you to use the main cameras for selfie photos and videos while getting the framing just right. It’s a 1.6” OLED display with 480 x 480px resolution. And yes, it’s round. This seems odd at first, but there’s actually a good reason for it – it preserves compatibility...

Oppo Watch X3 Mini leaks, here's a first look

Last year, Oppo released the Watch X2 in March and followed that up with the Watch X2 Mini in April. History may repeat itself – the Oppo Watch X3 was released earlier this month and Evan Blass just posted the first image of a Mini version. With no further details, we can only speculate about the Oppo Watch X3 Mini. The X3 is a 47mm watch and the X3 Mini should be a 43mm watch. At least that was the case with the two X2 models. Oppo Watch X3 Mini (leaked image) Last year, the X2 was a rebadged OnePlus Watch 3 and the X2 Mini was closely related to the OnePlus Watch 3 43mm. Except...

New Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra teardown praises how easy it is to replace the battery

A few days ago we shared a teardown/disassembly video for the 'vanilla' Samsung Galaxy S26, and today the folks over at iFixit have published their teardown video of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. [#InlinePriceWidget,14320,1#] As always, the entry point is from the back, after heating up the adhesive holding the back glass in place. The display connector can only be accessed through the back, which means you can't just replace the screen - you basically have to disassemble the whole phone just to get to the screen's connector. Samsung's battery release mechanism is praised, and is even...

iPhone Air is twice as successful as the iPhone 16 Plus, new report finds

According to a new report from Ookla, the iPhone Air is about twice as successful as the Plus model it replaced, namely the iPhone 16 Plus. The iPhone Air made up 6.8% of the sales of the iPhone 17 generation, whereas the iPhone 16 Plus only made up 2.9%.

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.

Soon Google will have you wait 24 hours before sideloading Android apps from unverified devs

Google’s revamped process for sideloading apps on Android will require several steps, including a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before installing apps from unverified developers.
