After all, Samsung's extended software support makes older models a sensible solution for many. Although if you are reading this from the US, you don't have that much of a choice except getting the Galaxy A56 as the A55 was never available across the pond. The difference in MSRP between the two is about €100, but in reality, third-party stores have already slashed the A56 price premium in the EU to just about...

Google is currently in the process of rolling out the latest update to Google Play Services.

One of Samsung's latest mid-rangers supports seamless updates, another one doesn't

Samsung has been incredibly slow to adopt seamless updates for its Android smartphones for reasons that still aren't very clear. The company finally made inroads with the Galaxy S25 series, as well as the Galaxy A55. So, naturally, we assumed that all of its devices launching after those would have support for the feature. Alas, no. The recently released Galaxy A26 and Galaxy A36 have just received their first updates in Europe, and, as the saying goes, we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the A36 does in fact support seamless updates. The bad news is that...

Weekly poll: would you buy an Oppo Find X8 Ultra, Find X8s or Find X8s+ if you could?

After releasing the Find X8 series back in October, Oppo has had time to refine what could be the more interesting models in the family – first and foremost the Ultra camera flagship but also the company’s first compact camera flagship. The Oppo Find X8 Ultra features a powerful penta-camera system co-developed with Hasselblad. The main module has a 1” Sony LYT-900 sensor, then there’s an ultra-wide (1/2.75” JN5) and two telephoto modules – 3x (70mm, 1/1.56” LYT-700) and 6x (135mm, 1/1.95” LYT-600).

Weekly poll results: the Google Pixel 9a could do with a price cut

Even though the Google Pixel 9a costs the same as its predecessor, last week’s poll suggests that this price may be too high for what the phone offers. This goes to show that expectations shift over time and 128GB storage isn’t enough on a $500/€550 device. Of course, 128GB is the base storage for Google’s pricier Pixels, even the Pro XL, and the 9a is a good deal cheaper than those. At least for the past couple of generations of “a” models there is a 256GB option. Let’s do a recap of what people liked and what they didn’t about the Pixel 9a.
