EarFun Clip review

15 September 2025 @ 2:47 am

The EarFun Clip is the latest pair of earbuds from the Chinese manufacturer, which has won many awards over the years for its audio products. The Clip uses an open-ear design, which should be appealing for those looking to avoid typical in-ear models. The EarFun Clip feature 10.8mm dynamic drivers with Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity and LDAC. They have a dual microphone design with AI background noise reduction and up to 10 hours of claimed battery life. All of it is in an interesting design that clips onto the back of your ears. Design True to their name, the earbuds have a...

Top 10 trending phones of week 37

14 September 2025 @ 11:41 pm

Apple's new iPhone quartet is official and unsurprisingly it's dominating our trending chart this week. The iPhone 17 Pro Max ended up as the most popular phone among them, followed by the iPhone Air and the vanilla iPhone 17. [#InlinePriceWidget, 13964, 1#] This puts the iPhone 17 Pro in the unenviable position of being the least popular among its siblings, but this week that's still enough to be the fourth most popular device among the 14,000 members of our database. The Sony Xperia 10 VII, another newly announced phone, is best of the rest in fifth, followed by the Galaxy S25 FE...

Apple iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and Air hot take

14 September 2025 @ 5:29 pm

Apple's self-dubbed 'awe dopping' September 9 event brought no big surprises, but it still left us with some thoughts. It also brought some nostalgia back to our hearts for the good old times when we collectively held our breath in excited anticipation of what Apple's new iPhone would be. The last few years have been sort of lackluster on the iPhone front, to be honest, and it was high time for Apple to bring back the excitement. We think it did. Here's what we think of the new iPhone 17 series. The base model iPhone is no longer a second-class citizen What we found most unexpected...

Deals: Galaxy Z Flip7 and Razr 2025 discounted, Apple watches and headphones on pre-order

14 September 2025 @ 2:08 pm

Apple unveiled its next-gen phones this week and they are now on pre-order in the first wave of countries with a release scheduled for September 19. That would be Friday next week – in the meantime, let’s look at some alternatives. We will focus on one kind of alternative – flip foldables. Apple dropped the iPhone Plus from its lineup and introduced the iPhone Air, a phone that measures only 5.64mm thick and weighs 165g. However, it doesn’t hit those marks without some sacrifices. Some say that this is a practice run, building components thin enough for a future foldable iPhone. But...

Apple unveils iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, iPhone 17 Air, Week 37 in review

14 September 2025 @ 11:06 am

Just as planned, Apple unveiled its much-anticipated iPhone 17 series, and it was an eventful event. The iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max debuted a fresh new aluminum unibody design - a major departure from the flat look the iPhone had since the iPhone 12 back in 2020. The design features a new camera plateau that spans the top of the aluminum case. It features three 48MP Fusion cameras, including an upgraded new 4x telephoto. The 100mm zoom is a departure from the 120mm on the older series. In a somewhat unprecedented move, Apple gave its base model iPhone 17 a ProMotion screen - that's...

Weekly poll: which iPhone 17 model will you buy? Or did Apple miss the mark?

14 September 2025 @ 8:11 am

This year brought a major shake-up in Apple’s smartphone line – if you skipped the Tuesday announcement, check out our summary here. The iPhone Pros have a new look, there’s a new tier called “Air” and the vanilla model got such a major upgrade that many might skip the small Pro and get it instead. The small Galaxy S and Pixel Pro might be sweating right now. Let’s start with the Apple iPhone 17 – what’s the big deal? It finally has a ProMotion display, Apple talk for 120Hz LTPO, and it even has an anti-reflective coating. That’s something that Samsung reserves only for the Galaxy S Ultra,...

Deals: Poco F7 Ultra price drops, Xperia 10 VII on pre-order, plus Apple's new smart wearables

14 September 2025 @ 5:07 am

This week the new iPhones may have stolen the spotlight, but they are still on pre-order and it’s not like Apple offers any pre-order freebies, so let’s focus on other phones. We will pay a visit to Apple’s new smart wearables, though. Just last week, the Poco F7 Ultra was €580 for a 12/256GB unit and €650 for the 16/512GB upgrade. This week you can grab the upgraded model for €600. The Ultra boasts Snapdragon 8 Elite power and a sharp 6.67” 1440p+ display, plus a 5,300mAh battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. It has a 50MP (1/1.55”, OIS) main, 50MP 2.5x/60mm telephoto and...

Infinix GT 30 hands-on: a gamer-centric smartphone with customizable GT Shoulder Triggers

14 September 2025 @ 2:31 am

Infinix launched the GT 30 Pro in May, and followed it up with the GT 30 in August, which was introduced in India first and made its global debut a few days ago. We spent some time with the Infinix GT 30 (aka Infinix GT 30 5G+), and here are our first impressions of the gamer-centric smartphone. [#InlinePriceWidget,13889,1#] The Infinix GT 30's retail box includes a SIM ejector tool, a protective case, some documents, a charging cable, and a 45W power adapter. The Infinix GT 30 is built around a 6.78" LTPS AMOLED display having 2,720x1,224-pixel resolution and 4,500 nits of peak...

Weekly poll results: the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE needs a solid price cut

13 September 2025 @ 11:23 pm

For something called “Fan Edition”, the FE series has trouble actually connecting to fans. Last year’s model was criticized for its price, now the 2025 model is here and it’s a very similar story – people think they can get better hardware for their money elsewhere. In short, the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is not a great buy – not right now, anyway. Reading through the comments on last week’s poll, we noticed a pattern – a lot of people would rather get a Galaxy S24+. Right now it costs less despite being a better phone. The S24+ has the same Exynos 2400 chipset (unless you live in a...
