Weekly poll: will you buy the Oppo Find N6?

The Oppo Find N6 claims to have solved the biggest issues for foldables – it has made the crease basically invisible. Okay, that’s not the biggest issue facing foldables, but it is certainly a deal breaker for many. And it’s not like the Find N5 had major problems in other categories. That said, the N6 brings several important upgrades to the camera and battery. Oppo opted to increase the battery size to 6,000mAh (up from 5,600mAh) instead of slimming down the phone. That means that the N6 has the same thickness (4.2mm opened, 8.9mm closed) and weight (225g vs. 229g) as the N5. Again,...

Weekly poll results: the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is the fan favorite, while the (4a) takes a step back

Last year, the Nothing Phone (3a) was voted as having a better value than its (3a) Pro sibling, while people that might have bought the Pro were instead pulled towards the then-upcoming Nothing Phone (3) flagship. So, when we posted last week’s poll, we were sure that the (4a) would prevail over its Pro sibling. After all, the Nothing Phone (4a) closed the camera gap to the Pro. But look at its poll results – 25% of voters prefer the Pro, while some 40% of the vote is split between people who like it to various degrees with pricing emerging as a concern. Pricing was indeed a major...

Deals: Galaxy S26 series gets its first price drop, the Pixel 10 series drops even further

The first full week of sales of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series is now behind us. While we can’t expect to see price movement this quickly, there was the smallest twitch.

Nothing Headphone (a) unboxing

Nothing has new over-ear headphones on the market, and they make the already aggressively-priced Nothing Headphone (1) seem overpriced. At £149 / $199 / €159, you're getting a lot for not a lot. Let's see the box. The Nothing Headphone (a) ships with a simple carrying bag, a USB-C cable, and a 3.5mm cable. The bag isn't padded, so it won't protect the headphones from damage, but you've gotta cut some corners to get a great deal. The Headphone (a) packs 40mm titanium-coated drivers, has three-level ANC, LDAC support, and a Hi-Resolution Audio Wireless certification. On the...
