Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra are the two most anticipated devices. The pair will be joined by the Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi aka the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition. Sadly, the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are not expected to join the other three members of the 17 series on their global...
Ultrahuman has come out with a new smart ring – the new model lasts longer on a single charge, collects more accurate data and has an important safety feature. And there is a new AI too, of course.
Ultrahuman Ring Pro colors
The Ultrahuman Ring Pro advertises up to 15 days of battery life. For comparison, the Ultrahuman Ring Air lasts 4-6 days on a charge according to official numbers. That’s a massive upgrade but isn’t the end of it either.
The new ring comes with a new Pro Charger, which extends the ring’s endurance up to 45 days. The case can be charged over USB or with...
HMD launched a new model called Luma – no, not “Lumia”, though that might have been cool. This appears to be similar to the HMD Vibe, though with a lower-end chipset.
The HMD Luma is powered by the Unisoc T615, a 12nm chip with Cortex-A75 and A55 cores, which are pretty old at this point. The phone is configured with 4GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage – there is a microSD slot available. Disappointingly, the phone comes with Android 15 out of the box.

Besides the memory card slot, the phone has other “old-school” features like a 3.5mm headphone jack and an FM...
Thanks to the magic of modern air travel (and sleeping while traveling), the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has arrived at GSMArena HQ and is straight in for review!
The unboxing isn't amazingly interesting - you get a USB-C cable and the phone, that's it. We have the 12/256GB Cobat Violet S26 Ultra.
The new phone may appear quite similar to its predecessor at first glance, but it isn't. The S26 Ultra is slightly taller and wider, but it's thinner and also slightly lighter. The design is a bit different, too, thanks to the slight camera island. It's a personal choice whether you like the...
The teasers for the upcoming Honor Magic V6 keep on coming and the latest one gives us our best look at the foldable’s inner display. Honor executive Wang Fei shared the images on Weibo, which show no visible crease along the middle.

According to Fei, Honor achieved the Magic V6’s crease-less display without compromising other parameters like its thin and light design, battery...

Samsung removed the S Pen's Bluetooth functionality with last year's Galaxy S25 Ultra, leading some to believe the Korean brand would ditch the S Pen with the recently announced Galaxy S26 Ultra. Fortunately, that didn't happen. And the good news is, Samsung has confirmed that the S Pen isn't going anywhere.
