Weekly poll: are you interested in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12+ or Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra?

Last year, the global tablet market was up 8.5% in Q1 as people started to replace devices they bought during the pandemic. Apple led the quarter with 13.7 million units shipped, up 14.0%, while Samsung was around half that with 6.6 million units shipped, down 5.2%. Samsung usually starts shipping its new flagship tablets in late Q3 (the Tab S11 models were available in September) or early Q4 (the Tab S12 series launched earlier this week), so shipments declining by 5.2% in Q1 was a bad look for the Tab S11 slates. So, now our attention turns to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra – the Ultra...

The vivo X Fold6 powers advanced productivity features with India's biggest battery in a foldable

As folding technology matures, the focus has shifted from perfecting the hinge to slimming things down and now battery life has emerged as a key differentiating factor for foldables - the tablet-like multitasking, media consumption and gaming experience enabled by the larger screen put extra strain on the battery. The vivo X Fold6 is a productivity powerhouse with its large 8.02” main display, advanced multitasking, cross-platform features - plus India’s biggest battery in the foldable category, so that users can get an uncompromised smartphone experience. It has a 6,900mAh battery...

Weekly poll results: the vivo X Fold6 is hot, but its price can singe your wallet

As if foldables weren’t expensive enough, the skyrocketing costs of memory chips raised their prices even further – and that’s a problem for the vivo X Fold6. Not just for it, of course, the other foldables that it is competing with are in the same boat. Still, even among those who want a foldable phone, the largest contingent is people wishing for a price cut. In last week’s poll, we listed several price points for the X Fold6 from around Europe. Alas, its launch came too late to participate in the Prime Day sale this week, but some discounts will come. That said, don’t expect...

Xiaomi Watch S5 review

Introduction, unboxing People love the Xiaomi Watch S models and with good reason. They're affordable (€150 from Amazon), they're feature-rich and capable, but probably more important than anything else, they're great-looking. Model five is no different and, this editor argues, is even prettier than before, making it even more desirable. There's a noticeable uptick in refinement and perceived quality and durability with this year's model. It's ditched the interchangeable bezel of the previous model, which at least means you won't lose it. But don't worry, there are different bezels...

Deals: vivo X Fold6 arrives, Galaxy S26 Ultra price remains low, iPhone 17 series on sale

The Prime Big Deal Days sale must have gone well as a lot of smartphones are showing as “out of stock” on Amazon – and for those that are still available, supplies are limited, so their prices went back up. We still managed to find a few good offers, but we’ll kick things off with a new release. The vivo X Fold6 was released in China back in July. Now, October marks its global release. The phone is very expensive - there’s no sugarcoating it - but it’s also one of the premier foldables this year. In our review, we called it “arguably the most complete large foldable currently on the...

Oppo Find X10 Pro Max Hasselblad teleconverter kit unboxing and hands-on

The Oppo Find X10 series is going global on October 21, and we've already brought you guys a quick first look and unboxing of both the Find X10 and the Find X10 Pro Max.

It comes in a large and heavy box, but only features six items: the teleconverter lens, a MagSafe-enabled case, a lens mounting plate (for the case), a nice little strap, a carrying pouch, and a tripod collar. The strap uses quick-release clips that attach to the case, but can detach whenever you like. We love the...

OnePlus plans on launching two flagships in India, here's when

OnePlus is unveiling the OnePlus 16 in China on October 12, and the Ace 7 may join it or launch soon afterwards. Today a tipster over on X has revealed that the company is planning to launch two new flagship smartphones in India, either in December or in "early 2027". One of them will be the OnePlus 16R, which, if history repeats itself, will be heavily based on the Ace 7, if not a full rebrand of it. The Ace 7 / OnePlus 16R is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC and sport a 6.78-inch flat OLED display with a "1.5K" resolution and a 185Hz refresh rate, a 200MP main...

Nothing's CMF is launching new products next week

Nothing's CMF sub-brand is on its way to becoming an independent Indian company, but that transition hasn't stopped it from churning out new products. Case in point: CMF has just announced that it will be launching two new products next week, on Monday, October 12, to be specific. Here's a teaser video. These will be two speakers. The CMF Speaker S and the CMF Speaker M. Obviously, the former should be a smaller version, while the latter will be bigger, given the naming scheme used here. The teaser image above shows a design that's very recognizable as a CMF...

Gurman: Apple to announce its touchscreen MacBook on October 27

Yesterday, a report claimed that Apple is planning two separate product launches this month. While the company has confirmed the first event, scheduled for October 13, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now revealed when the second launch could take place. According to Gurman, who cites sources familiar with Apple’s plans, the second launch is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, or around that date. Apple is said to unveil its long-rumored touchscreen MacBook, an OLED iPad mini, and 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac models powered by the M6 chip. Meanwhile, the October 13 event is expected to...

iQOO Neo12's display could be very special

The iQOO Neo11 came out in October of last year, so it's pretty much time for its successor to show up any day now. According to a new rumor from Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the iQOO Neo12 may be packing a very unique screen. Chinese display panel maker Visionox is said to be working on an OLED panel with "2K" resolution and a 185Hz refresh rate, which will be the world's first mass-produced screen to pair those two specs. It will also feature a brand new luminescent material, which allegedly comes with breakthroughs in screen brightness, lifespan, and display performance. iQOO...

The Redmi Turbo 6 Max could offer a 10,000mAh battery and a 7-inch display

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Turbo 5 Max earlier this year with a 9,000mAh battery and a 6.83-inch display. Now, a new rumor suggests that its successor, the Redmi Turbo 6 Max, could feature an even larger battery and display. Tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that an upcoming mid-range smartphone powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset will feature a large display (around 7-inch) and a battery with a capacity exceeding 10,000mAh. The tipster also claims that the phone will feature a minimalist design. Notably, a leaked render from July offered a first look at the Redmi...

Another vivo V80 is coming, certification reveals

A few days ago, vivo launched the V80, which follows in the footsteps of the V80 Lite that got official last month. But the V80 series isn't done yet - there's (at least) another member of the family on the way. Indonesia's SDPPI has certified a vivo phone with the model number V2624 under the name vivo V80 FE. Unfortunately, the certification doesn't reveal any specs or any details about the phone whatsoever, aside from its name and model number. But this does mean that the V80 FE is on the way and coming soon. It will of course act as the successor to the V70 FE, which came out in...

Samsung Galaxy F70 is on its way and could be a rebrand job

After launching the Galaxy F70e in February and the Galaxy F70 Pro in August, Samsung is now working on a third member of this family, namely the 'vanilla' Galaxy F70. The device has now been spotted in the Google Play Console's supported devices list with the model number SM-E176E. That model number seems to imply that the F70 will be related to the Galaxy A17, which was released in August. It might even be a full-fledged rebrand of that device. This is similar to how the F70e is a rebranded Galaxy A07. If Samsung is pulling the same trick once again, then expect the F70 to have a...

Samsung signs Thierry Henry to promote the Galaxy Z Fold8, Fold8 Ultra, and Flip8

Today Samsung has announced that it's partnered up with former French football star Thierry Henry to promote the Galaxy Z Fold8, Fold8 Ultra, and Flip8. The three devices launched back in July, and now Henry will star in a new Welcome to Foldables ad campaign that will run across Europe.

Samsung says Henry is a long-time Samsung user, but whether that’s true or...

iFixit finds the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 still very difficult to repair

With the Apple Watch Series 12 and Watch Ultra 4 out, it's time for the usual iFixit teardown and assessment of how easy it is to repair the new Apple Watches. Spoiler alert: they are still very hard to disassemble and repair. Additionally, there might be a potential issue here, as the two devices don't necessarily comply with some Right to Repair laws in some US states like California, New York, Oregon, etc. Starting with the Watch Series 12, which earned 4/10 on iFixit's repairability score, one point higher than the Series 11. That's because of the stretch-release adhesive used for...

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE vs. Galaxy S25 FE

The Fan Edition of the latest Galaxy S series is out, but before you pull the trigger on the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, why not consider the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE instead. It gets you a lot of the way there at a more reasonable starting price, which is exactly the FE series spirit. After all, the memory chip prices forced Samsung to launch the S26 FE at a higher price point and without changing almost anything in terms of hardware too. The newer Galaxy S26 FE is pretty close to last year's Galaxy S25 FE, except for the chipset, of course. And one would wonder, what are you getting for the...
