vivo X200 dummy emerges in live shots

The vivo X100 launched back in October of last year and only began its international rollout in early 2024. We now have our first look at its alleged successor – the X200 which made its way to Chinese social media platform Weibo. The demo unit seen in the images features a few different design choices compared to its predecessor including a flat display and side frame with chamfered edges. We can also spot a prominent camera island on the back with a shiny metal ring around it which should house a trio of 50MP cameras including a Sony main sensor and a 3x periscope. vivo X200...

Nothing Phone (2a) Plus in for review

This is the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus and you should think of it as a more powerful (rather than larger) version of the 5-month-old Nothing Phone (2a), not as its replacement. In fact, both phones will be on sale simultaneously. So what does a Plus warrant? A new 50MP selfie camera (vs 32MP on the regular) and an upgraded chipset - the Dimensity 7350 Plus uses the same design as the Dimensity 7200 Pro, but is overclocked. It may not sound like much, but Nothing claims a 10% faster CPU, and 30% faster graphics performance, which is... well, something. This new Metallic Grey color also...

nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version in for review

The nubia Z60 Ultra arrived in December 2023 as one of the first phones with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The next month Samsung announced its Galaxy S24 lineup with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset, which features slightly higher clock speeds. Either an exclusivity deal between Samsung and Qualcomm had ended, or the San Diego chipmaker has simply managed to produce enough units of the faster chipset as it's now also available for other makers. Obviously a reband was in order and it's now known as "Leading version" rather than "for Galaxy." nubia was quick to take advantage...

Weekly poll results: the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 are too pricey

Samsung’s latest foldables were met with criticism in last week’s poll – the two main points were the price and the hardware.

As for the hardware, in our review, we noted that charging is somehow even slower than the already slow...

Deals: the HMD Skyline goes on pre-order, Realme GT 6 and GT 6T keep their prices low

The phone is surprisingly capable – the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is by far the most powerful chip inside an HMD phone. Admittedly, the competition is the Snapdragon 695 and some Unisocs, but we’re glad to see that HMD is finally moving to better chips. The phone’s 6.55” display is a 144Hz OLED (FHD+) and features a 50MP selfie camera on top. On the rear, a 108MP main (OIS), 50MP 2x tele and...
