Huawei FreeClip 2 review

Huawei is no stranger to experimenting with device form factors and its FreeClip 2 are a prime example. These are the successors to the original Huawei FreeClip earbuds, which brought the C-bridge design, which “clips” around your ear and beams sound without making contact with your ear canal. The second-gen FreeClips come with a noticeably smaller footprint for both the earbuds and case, alongside updated sound which Huawei proudly claims offers 100% stronger volume output. Despite the sleeker size, Huawei still claims up to 9 hours of usage from the buds on a single charge and up to...

Ayaneo reveals the chipset powering its Pocket Play smartphone

Ayaneo started teasing the Pocket Play, its first smartphone, back in November, and then in December it showed us what it would look like, Sony Ericsson Xperia Play vibes and all. Today, Ayaneo has finally revealed the chipset sitting at the helm of the Pocket Play. It's MediaTek's Dimensity 9300. That's an odd choice, given that the SoC in question came out in 2023. Sure, it was MediaTek's top dog of 2023, but it's more than two years old. And if, we assume for pricing purposes, Ayaneo wanted to go with MediaTek instead of Qualcomm (since MediaTek's top of the line SoCs are always...

Apple iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 16

Apple's iPhone 17 may look like business as usual at first glance, but this year's update is a bigger jump than we've come to expect from the vanilla line. In fact, the jump from the iPhone 16 to the iPhone 17 feels like one of the more meaningful generational steps we've seen in recent years. Of course, the iPhone 16 remains a solid performer. But compared side by side, the iPhone 17 clearly feels like the more modern and complete package - not just a small refinement, but a proper evolution for Apple's mainstream iPhone. However, as a few of our test findings will suggest, newer is...

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold launches in the US, sells out in minutes

As promised Samsung brought its latest and greatest to the US today with its Galaxy Z TriFold. The handset went on sale today, for $2,899. That's $900 more than the Galaxy Z Fold7. A unknown number of phones were available at Samsung's official web store and at Samsung's Experience Stores. We say "were" because the TriFold sold out in about 20 minutes. And while this sounds impressive, Samsung is not disclosing any unit counts so we don't really know how much demand there was.

The Motorola Signature gets a surprise price hike to €1,300 in Finland

If you were planning on buying a Motorola Signature, you may want to try to do that right now – the phone was originally slated to cost €1,000 in the EU, but its price in Finland unexpectedly shot up to €1,300 just before launch.
