Redmi announces Turbo 3 as a part of new generation of performance flagship series

Redmi president Thomas Wang revealed the Xiaomi brand is launching new series called Turbo. They will sit between the K and Note series and will be all about raw performance. The first phone will be called Redmi Turbo 3, and it very well might be a new name for the Redmi Note 13 Turbo. In a lengthy post, followed by a Q&A session on social media, Wang explained the concept of Turbo – it will be a lineup of phones that will “reshape the midrange market”. By the looks of it, the Redmi K phones will remain the flagship-tier devices, the Redmi Turbo will be the so-called...

Xiaomi Watch 2 in for review

Xiaomi's excellent Watch 2 Pro is among the best watches available right now. At just €249 with LTE, it's definately one of the best deals around. But the Xiaomi Watch 2 may just be a better one. The Xiaomi Watch 2 has all the features of the Pro but with a lighter aluminum body, no rotating crown, and a flush top glass. Oh, and it starts at just €199. But the biggest difference is that the Watch 2 lacks LTE - you'd need to go for the Pro if you want to be able to leave your phone behind. The Xiaomi Watch 2 ships with a TPU strap (either grey or black), and a magnetic proprietary...

Top 10 trending phones of week 13

Samsung Galaxy A55 completed a hat-trick of trending chart victories in week 13 and still holds a comfortable advantage of the Redmi Note 13 Pro, which rose to second place. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra gets the bronze medal as the Infinix Note 40 Pro slips off the podium and into fourth place. Redmi Note 13 picked up a lot of steam and is sitting in fifth now, followed by a trio of Samsung Galaxy phones. Interestingly the newly announced M55 only managed a seventh place, between the A35 and A54. Perhaps the limited initial availability reduced its appeal and it may fare better should it...

Flashback: Android Marshmallow is toast

Maybe you’ve heard that with Android 14 you can no longer install old apps that were built for Lollipop. Soon Android 15 will arrive and will similarly block apps meant for Marshmallow. Let’s hold back the tears as we wave goodbye to one of the best Android versions in history and some of the best apps and games that will go in the great robotic baker in the sky. Android 6.0 Marshmallow was introduced nearly a decade ago on May 28 2015 at that year’s Google I/O. A beta was released the same day and the stable version arrived in September on Nexus phones and tablets first. In November it...

Weekly poll results: the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra does not spark joy

Asus had carved out a niche for its Zenfone series – small premium phones with relatively large batteries, 3.5mm headphone jacks and more customization options than you can shake a stick at. And now it has thrown it all away. Last week’s poll shows that 30% of those who cast their vote are waiting for a small Zenfone 11 (and we don’t even know if such a phone exists). Then a whopping 41% of voters think that the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra just isn’t all that good. Interest might pick up if the prices drop, but Asus phones rarely get serious discounts. Who is this phone for, anyway?...

Deals: Galaxy S24 also drops in price, Best Buy has iPad deals this weekend

Last week we looked at offers on unlocked Galaxy S24 flagships – the S24+ started at $850 and the S24 Ultra was $1,150. Those offers are still available, by the way, but they lacked the vanilla Galaxy S24. If you have your heart set on the smallest Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S24 starts at $750. Note that this is with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage (not 12/256GB like the other two). There’s no option for 12GB of RAM, but you could get 256GB storage for $810. But that’s just $50 less than a 12/256GB S24+. We found the same offer on Amazon and Best Buy, so pick the retailer you...

Samsung Galaxy A55 vs. Samsung Galaxy A35

Samsung's strong presence in the mid-range segment is primarily defined by the Galaxy A3x and A5x series, so it's natural for people to wonder which one suits their needs. This year's Galaxy A55 and A35 both bring decent upgrades compared to their predecessors. But despite their considerable price gap, the Galaxy A55 and A35 are more similar than you'd think. So much so that the Galaxy A35 is almost identical to the A55's predecessor, the A54. Speaking of, we have a versus article on that topic as well.

OnePlus Nord CE4 features teased yet again, 100W charging confirmed

The OnePlus Nord CE4 still hasn't been fully and properly announced, but the company's teaser campaign has been so willing to spill out details about it that there's almost nothing we don't already know aside from pricing (although a recent leak pegged this at INR 24,999 for the base model). Today Amazon India has gone ahead and launched a microsite for the upcoming device, rehashing most of the features we've already known about from previous OnePlus teasers while confirming one of our suspicions too. The phone will have 100W fast wired charging support, it's now clear. We always...

We asked Samsung why it gave its flagships 7 years of support

With the release of the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung committed to 7 years of software support for the lineup - that's both OS and security updates. Samsung wasn't the first - Google promised 7 years to the Pixel 8 series, but OnePlus believes anything beyond 5 years is just wasting resources. We had the chance to chat with Samsung VP Nicholas Porter and we asked him why Samsung decided on the 7 years of support. Samsung's analysis of consumer feedback found that extending the support adds more value to a smartphone. Certainly, enough value to make the overhead needed for the upkeep worth...

iPhone 12 gets 15W Qi2 wireless charging support with iOS 17.4

Apple released iOS 17.4 earlier this month, and the big news about it was its compliance with the new EU Digital Markets Act, but it looks like that wasn't the only big thing hiding inside this update. In fact, the new software seems to have unlocked support for the Qi2 wireless charging standard. According to testing conducted by Macworld, the iPhone 12 with iOS 17.4 now charges wirelessly at 15W when magnetically connected to a Qi2 charger that isn't Apple's MagSafe. Previously, in such a scenario, wireless charging would be limited to 7.5W, so the jump is quite substantial. Back...

So, you've decided to really treat yourself and get a true flagship heavy-hitter. Welcome to the big leagues, and particularly the interesting showdown between Samsung's still relatively "hot off the presses" January-release Galaxy S24 Ultra and the best OnePlus currently has to offer in the OnePlus 12. It is admittedly a bit older and technically came out last year in December 2023, but that has mostly resulted in a nice and steady depreciation in price, and it does not actually take away from the truly premium nature of the OnePlus 12. The two devices are definitely worthy of rubbing...

BOE to manufacture iPhone SE 4 displays

According to an industry source, BOE will likely be supplying the bulk, if not all, of the 6.1-inch OLED panels for the upcoming iPhone SE 4. Reportedly, Samsung dropped out of the race due to the low pricing Apple was offering for each panel. The report claims that a single 6.1-inch OLED unit costs around $30 at Samsung, while Apple was offering $25. Moreover, the same source suggests the the price is lower than even what the Chinese makers are asking. With Samsung out of the picture, BOE and Tianma remain, with BOE probably taking all of the orders for the iPhone SE 4. People...

Sony Xperia 1 VI dimensions revealed, the phone will be a bit shorter and a bit wider

A couple of weeks ago we heard a rumor that Sony will drop the 4K display from the next Xperia 1 model – this would happen as the aspect ratio changes from 21:9 to 19.5:9 (which suggests that the vertical resolution will no longer be 3,840px). This would also entail a change in the phone’s dimensions and a new leak reveals the new values. The Sony Xperia 1 VI will allegedly measure 162 x 74.4 x 8.45mm - that is 3mm shorter and 3mm (and a bit) wider than the Xperia 1 V, which is 165 x 71 x 8.3mm.

Samsung seems intent on creating a Galaxy F55 this year, and since it's part of the F series, that means it will be very similar, if not identical, to the already announced Galaxy A55.
