Motorola Edge 70 Pro in for review

This is the Motorola Edge 70 Pro. It launched back in April, and it costs €540 with 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Depending on the location, there are a few Pantone colors to choose from: Titan, Zinfandel, Lily White, and Tea. In the box, you'll find the phone, a USB-C cable, and a hard case with MagSafe, which is a nice touch. In keeping with its moniker, the Edge 70 Pro is thin and light, measuring just over 7mm and 190 grams. It's also curved on both sides, which isn't the norm for a slab phone these days. We like the phone's feel in the hand, though it's a bit slippery,...

Weekly poll: what device do you use for gaming? A smartphone, tablet, PC or console?

The gaming market has had a rough go of it this decade – first COVID slowed down the rollout of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, then the crypto boom vacuumed up available GPUs, now AI has made RAM chips the new gold. This has led to smartphone makers rising prices, but PCs and consoles are just as affected – the PS5, the Xbox, the Steam Deck and the Nintendo Switch all got more expensive. And that’s just some of the more high-profile products. Services are feeling the pain too – Microsoft wanted to raise the price of Game Pass, but changed its mind after loud complaints from...

Weekly poll results: iOS 27 is okay, just okay

iOS 27 was met with a resounding “it’s okay” in last week’s poll. Okay, the sentiment among iPhone users actually leans towards positive, but most voters couldn’t work up enough enthusiasm for it to pick the “love it” option. To be fair, this release was focused on sanding off the rough edges of the major Liquid Glass redesign and on finally delivering on promises about AI features that Apple made a long while ago. Remember all the Apple Intelligence demos during the iPhone 16 launch? Yeah, Siri AI is launching later this year, likely alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models. Even if you...

Deals: Samsung Galaxy S25 FE price drops again, OnePlus 15 and 15R, Nothing phones are on sale

Reminder: Prime Day is next week. You will need an active Prime subscription to get the lower prices, though the free trial usually works – unless you have already used it recently. This week, you don’t need Prime to get these deals. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE stayed at MSRP for a few weeks after the launch of the Galaxy A57. Now the FE model is back where it should be – at just under $600 for the 8/256GB model. We have a detailed Galaxy S25 FE vs. A57 comparison article to help you choose between these two (though given that they cost the same, the choice is easy enough). ...

OnePlus N6's charging speed officially confirmed, chipset revealed by Geekbench

OnePlus will unveil the OnePlus N6 on June 30 as the first smartphone in its new N Series. The brand already showed us the N6 in two colors and confirmed that it will pack an 8,000 mAh battery. Now, OnePlus has confirmed how fast the smartphone will charge. In a post on X, OnePlus India revealed that the N6 will support 45W SuperVOOC charging, enabling 1.7 hours of video playback with a 5-minute charge. The video shared by OnePlus also suggests the N6 will support reverse wired charging, but it's unclear how fast the smartphone will charge other devices. You’ll spend more time choosing...

Here's when Infinix is launching the Note 60 Pro 5G Pininfarina Limited Edition in India

Infinix's Note 60 Ultra is designed by famed Italian design house Pininfarina, and it's been available since last month. Infinix also launched the Note 60 Pro, and brought it to India in April. Now, the brand has a surprise for the Indian market. Coming on June 24 at 12 PM local time on Flipkart is the Infinix Note 60 Pro 5G Pininfarina Limited Edition, in that Torino Black color we've also seen on the Note 60 Ultra. There doesn't seem to be any other difference between this one and the regular Note 60 Pro 5G aside from the color, which comes with a "carbon fiber finish design" and...

OnePlus 15s isn't happening, tipster claims

In April of last year, OnePlus launched the 13T in China. Then, in June, it released basically the same phone in India as the OnePlus 13s. Back in March of this year, the company introduced the 15T in China, so you're probably expecting it to launch in India as the 15s very soon. OnePlus 15T However, according to a tipster over on X, that is not going to happen. The device will not be coming to India at all, for whatever reason. Furthermore, whether the upcoming OnePlus 16 will launch in India still hasn't been decided. We'd be surprised if the 16 skips India, but the 15s apparently...

Ultrahuman launches M2 Live metabolic health platform for continuous glucose monitoring

Ultrahuman is best-known for its smart rings, but the company recently branched out with a red light therapy device. Today, the company is introducing the Ultrahuman M2 Live, a platform for continuous glucose monitoring. This is actually based on the Lingo Glucose Biosensor by Abbott. It’s available over-the-counter and does not require a prescription. M2 can also work with Abbott’s Libre 3 Plus sensor. The Lingo sensor streams data to your phone over Bluetooth LE, though you will need NFC to activate it. Continuous glucose monitoring • Metabolic Score It’s important to note...

Honor Watch 6 in for review

Fresh off its unveiling, we've got the Honor Watch 6, and it's about as easy a recommendation as a wearable could be. The watch 6 ships in either Twilight Brown or Shadow Black (our model), and it normally costs €250/£230 (€20/£20 more for the Brown model), but is €170/£150 for the first month - that's an €80/£80 discount. Gotta love Honor! In the box, you get the watch, a fluororubber strap with the Black model, a leather one with the Brown model (hence the markup), and a magnetic charger ending on USB-A. Sadly, the charger has two pins that align with the watch, not a universal wireless...

UAE bans social media for those under 15

A few days ago the UK government announced a ban on social media for children under 16, and now the UAE is following suit by effectively banning social media for those under 15. The UAE is the first Arab country to introduce such a measure. Children under 15 are prohibited from creating, using, or operating personal social media accounts. They will not be able to post content, comment, share, or join public groups. Those aged 15 to 16 will be allowed on social media subject to age-appropriate content controls, restrictions on interaction with unknown users, screen-time management...

Smartwatch shipments grew steadily in Q1 2026 with Apple still leading the pack

According to the latest Counterpoint report, the global smart wearable market grew 4% in Q1 2026 compared to the same period last year, which follows a steady recovery in 2025 after a rough 2024. The analysts say Apple's relatively new wearable devices fueled much of the growth, and consumers are now generally more inclined to buy premium smartwatches. The growth of the Chinese smartwatch market has also contributed quite a bit, with Huawei leading the pack domestically, followed by Imoo and Xiaomi. Shipments in the country grew 15% YoY, and Huawei seized 40% of the domestic market...

Spotify Reserved offers advance concert tickets to the most dedicated fans

Today Spotify is launching a new feature called Reserved in the US. This basically means Spotify is holding two concert tickets for an artist's most dedicated fans, and will offer them the chance to grab said tickets before the general sale goes live. The company isn't saying exactly how it determines who to offer these tickets to, as it doesn't want to encourage strategic engagement. But it did say that eligibility is based "on a wide range of signals like streams, saves, and shares, as well as location". The location factor matters because it wants these tickets to only reach fans who...

Gurman: Apple AirPods with built-in camera may arrive in late 2027

Back in May, a report claimed that Apple had entered the final stages of development for its camera-equipped AirPods. Now, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has shared a revised launch timeline for the earbuds, along with a few additional details. According to Gurman, citing people familiar with the matter, the AirPods with built-in cameras are now expected to debut in late 2027.

Nothing CEO Carl Pei wants to steal Apple's customers

The latest publicity stunt by Nothing involves its founder and CEO, Carl Pei, releasing a video on his Instagram profile. In the video, he addresses Apple, warning the Cupertino company that Nothing is going to steal its customers, "one bored iPhone user at a time". And that's it. Does Tim Cook even know that Nothing exists? Does his successor? Probably not. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Carl Pei (@getpeid) Smaller companies do sometimes pull such stunts, name dropping much bigger competitors, in order to have people watching create an unconscious...

iPhone 18 RAM upgrade confirmed again along with good news about its price

According to a new rumor from Taiwan, the upcoming iPhone 18 will get 12GB of RAM. The iPhone 17, for comparison, only has 8GB. The added memory will be used to power the new Siri AI features with the most powerful on-device model, which requires a minimum of 12GB of RAM. This will give Siri more expressive voices (along with sliders to personalize them), and will also enable major accuracy improvements for system-wide dictation. The iPhone 17 will miss out on these features when they're released with iOS 27 in the fall, because of the fact that it only has 8GB of RAM. iPhone...

Commodore announces Callback 8020, a phone "between dumb and smart"

Commodore is making a phone that isn't a full-on smartphone, nor is it a dumbphone. It straddles the line in a very obviously nostalgia-baiting fashion. Before we talk about the new Commodore Callback 8020, let's get something out of the way first. Commodore International Corporation (CIC), which now owns the brand, was established last year by Christian Simpson, a tech YouTuber who is the CEO. He's brought on some ex-employees of the original company, but this isn't the Commodore of old rising from the ashes like a Phoenix. It's an entirely different company which bought the rights to the...

No, the foldable iPhone Ultra has not been delayed, claims leakster

Yesterday, reports claimed that the foldable iPhone Ultra will be delayed until early next year – however, leakster Fixed Focus Digital believes these reports are false. According to FFD’s sources, production capacity is limited, but that doesn’t mean that the announcement has been delayed. Instead, the Ultra will be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September as originally planned. The actual release of the foldable may be delayed, but only by a month at most, claims the leakster. As we mentioned yesterday, something like this has happened before – the iPhone X was...

ChatGPT grows user base to over 1.1 billion but its market share is shrinking

OpenAI's ChatGPT had an early start in the AI chatbot race, which cemented its dominant position that it's held for years. However, that is now eroding. For the first time ever, ChatGPT now has less than 50% of the AI chatbot pie, as its competitors have made massive strides lately. By May, ChatGPT's market share was down to 46.4%, followed most closely by Gemini (27.7%) and Claude (10.3%). 46% market share is still impressive, but ChatGPT started at 100% all those years ago, let's not forget. On the other hand, more and more people are using AI chatbots, with ChatGPT going over the...
