Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra may feature a near 1-inch 200MP rear camera

With the Galaxy S26 Ultra and its siblings now official, attention is already shifting to the Galaxy S27 series. The latest leak, however, isn’t directly about the 2027 phones themselves.

vivo X300 Ultra showcased at MWC

As expected, vivo showcased its top-tier camera flagship – the X300 Ultra at MWC. This was not an official announcement but a sneak peek at what’s to come, and the more important bit is that the X300 Ultra is confirmed to launch outside of China, which would make it the first vivo Ultra phone to do so. It remains to be seen which countries will get the device and there’s no word on pricing for now. Vivo did not reveal the X300 Ultra’s actual design and key specs, but we did get to see its all-new teleconverter and camera rig. The verbosely named vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen2...

The new Motorola Edge 70 Fusion is slimmer, features a quad-curved 6.78" 144Hz display

The recent Motorola Edge 70 is focused on a super-slim build, but that comes at the expense of battery capacity – the phone is only 6.0mm thick, but its battery is only 4,800mAh. For comparison, the Edge 60 was a 7.9mm phone with a 5,200mAh battery. Now Motorola is launching the Moto Edge 70 Fusion. It slims down compared to its predecessor too, but without sacrificing the battery – it has the same 5,200mAh capacity as the Edge 60 Fusion, while reducing the thickness from 8.0mm to 7.2mm. The weight remains essentially the same at 177g. Motorola Edge 70 Fusion The new Fusion is...

Weekly poll: will you buy a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, S26+ or S26?

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series may be named after the year 2026, but the three models feel like they are from different times. The Ultra once again gets the best new features, the vanilla model gets few but important upgrades, while the Plus model, well, there isn’t much to say about that one. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra boasts a new Privacy Display feature. Compared to the S25 Ultra, it also has wider apertures on its 200MP main (f/1.4 instead of f/1.7) and 5x 50MP telephoto module (f/2.9 instead of f/3.4). Samsung also finally pushed past its self-imposed 45W charging limit and the new...

Weekly poll results: the Google Pixel 10a gets no love

Last week, we asked our readers whether they had any interest in buying a Pixel 10a – the answer is a resounding “no”. The majority of voters think there are better mid-rangers on the market. The best thing that we can say based on these results is that around a third of voters think that the 10a isn’t a bad phone, it’s just overpriced. Which is bad. Jokes aside, there was a similar attitude in the 9a poll a year earlier, but people warmed up to the 9a over time – or rather as the price cuts came in. So, maybe there is hope for the new model. One good reason to jump on the Google Pixel...

Xiaomi Watch 5 unboxing

Xiaomi's latest Wear OS smartwatch is here, and it means serious business. Meet the Xiaomi Watch 5, a no-compromises smartwatch with a massive battery. Before we go through the numbers, let's do an unboxing. The Watch 5 ships with Xiaomi's typical two-pin magnetic charger. We're not fans of it. First, it ends on a USB-A connection, not a USB-C, which isn't ideal in early 2026. Second, the two-pin design means you need to fiddle when placing the watch down to charge. It'd be much easier if Xiaomi went with a universal magnetic design, like Samsung and OnePlus. Charger aside, the...

Xiaomi 17 review

Xiaomi 17 Ultra goes global with 200MP 75-100mm camera, Xiaomi 17 joins it with a 6,330mAh battery

The Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra launched in China at the end of Q3 last year – so if you wrote them off as China-only phones that you can’t buy, it’s time to have a second look since they are now launching to new markets. There are no surprises on their spec sheets, other than the predictable decrease in battery capacity for the global models. Also, the 17 Pro isn’t part of the global rollout, but we’ll talk about it in a second. Xiaomi 17 Ultra The Xiaomi 17 Ultra brings serious camera hardware. It is equipped with a 50MP 1”-type Light Fusion 1050L sensor with LOFIC HDR and...

New OnePlus 15T camera leak disappoints

The OnePlus 15T is coming soon as the successor to the 13T launched last April. Today a new leak out of China purports to detail its rear camera setup, and it's disappointing if you were expecting any upgrades over its predecessor. Like the OnePlus 13T, the OnePlus 15T will allegedly have a 50MP main camera using Sony's 1/1.56" type Lytia 700 sensor with OIS, and a 50MP telephoto camera using Samsung's 1/2.76" type ISOCELL JN5 sensor. The only change, if this rumor is accurate, will be in the telephoto shooter's aperture, which goes from f/2.0 in the 13T to f/2.8 in the 15T. The...
