Deals: Galaxy S26+ gets a deeper discount on its 512GB model, Galaxy S26 Ultra also on sale

This week saw the annual WWDC from Apple. The week before, it was Google I/O – both are software-focused events, so there wasn’t any new hardware. So, we turn to older models instead. The Samsung Galaxy S26+ is not going to win any popularity contests, but it’s a solid middle-of-the-road smartphone that offers a good balance of features, support and price. Right now, the 512GB model is down to $900 – that’s the same price as the 256GB version, but note that only the Black units have such a deep cut. The Cobalt Violet is the second best at $1,020, which is a rather large gap. If you don’t...

Honor X7e Plus 5G is coming to join the X7e

Honor launched the X7e 4G earlier this month, and if you've been wondering whether this phone would get a 5G option, the answer seems to be "yes, kind of". The Honor X7e Plus 5G has now been certified for sale in the UAE by TDRA and it's also been spotted in the SGS database. We're not sure exactly what makes this a "Plus" aside from the 5G connectivity, so we can't be sure how similar it is to the already launched X7e 4G. But based on the SGS certification, we can assume the X7e Plus 5G will be offered in the EU and Saudi Arabia too. Honor X7e Plus 5G...

DJI sues Insta360 for how similar the Luna Ultra is to the Osmo Pocket 4P

A couple of days ago, Insta360 made its DJI Osmo Pocket 4P competitor official in the Luna Ultra, and now DJI is launching not one but two lawsuits against Insta360 alleging patent violations. The lawsuits were filed in the US, presumably because DJI feels like it has a better chance of winning over there. In its first lawsuit, DJI accuses Insta360 of infringing its design patents by producing and selling the Luna series, which DJI says closely copies its own designs for the Osmo Pocket line. The resemblance is obvious from a mile away, but whether it's enough to get DJI its coveted...

TSMC's new packaging technology will bring down chip cost and improve performance

According to sources familiar with the matter, TSMC is working on a cutting-edge technology for chip packaging called CoPoS. CoPoS means Chip-on-Panel-on-Structure, and it uses a glass material that acts as a temporary carrier, and it also goes into the final substrate with a three-layer sandwich structure. Reportedly, TSMC will start mass production of chips using CoPoS by the end of 2028. The new tech will supposedly bring down manufacturing costs and improve performance. In fact, Nvidia's Feynman AI chipset will be the first one to use CoPoS. That's because the next-generation...

Google makes its AI Plus plan cheaper, doubles the cloud storage that comes with it

Google scored a big victory yesterday as its Gemini model became the foundation of Apple’s new Siri.

TrendForce: global smartphone market declined 1.7% in Q1, things will get worse later this year

284 million smartphones were produced globally in the first three months of 2026, a decline of 1.7% compared to the same period last year, reports TrendForce. The impact of increasing memory prices was minimal, but only because manufacturers had stockpiles of cheap memory available – those are gradually being exhausted. For the full year 2026, the analysts’ prediction is dire – 1.051 billion units produced or 16.2% less than last year. And this is the good option as TrendForce notes: “the annual decline could become even more pronounced if memory price increases remain elevated and brands...

Weekly poll results: the Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro are too expensive, but a price cut can fix that

Predictably, the €100 price hike on the Xiaomi 17T series upset many voters in last week’s poll. However, Xiaomi did make some good choices too. The Xiaomi 17T is smaller than its predecessor and its Pro sibling – it has a 6.59” display versus 6.83” on the 15T and 17T Pro. Barely anyone complained about the smaller size, so, well done Xiaomi. The big battery (6,500mAh) inside the phone certainly helps. The capable 50MP 5x/115mm periscope also proved to be a popular change among voters. And while the Dimensity 8500 Ultra can’t fight flagship-grade silicon, it is just the right chipset to...

The gap between smartphone chips in 2026 is absurd. The fastest chip we’ve tested is roughly 15 times more powerful than the slowest one still found in modern smartphones.
