We managed to snag a quick hands-on with the new Reno15 series during Oppo's special global launch event. This is a quick look at the Indian Reno15 Pro, which will retail as the Reno15 Pro Max in some other regions.
To avoid confusion, the Indian Reno15 Pro is a 6.78-inch phone, while the Indian Reno15 Pro Mini (a 6.32-inch model) is referred to as the Reno15 Pro outside of India.
Here's the lineup in India - you have the Reno15 Pro Mini on the left (called Reno15 Pro in the rest of the world), then the Reno15 in the middle, and the Reno15 Pro (called the Reno15 Pro Max outside of...
Poco recently launched the M8 series and it is now available for purchase. Poco is selling the phones at a discount as part of an early bird offer, which lasts until January 14. Meanwhile, the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra, a bunch of Edge 60 series phones, and the Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 9a have also received discounts.
The Poco M8 Pro comes with a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, whereas the M8 gets a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel. The Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset and packs a 6,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging support.

Oppo unveiled its Reno15 series to the global stage yesterday, and thanks to the miracle of international shipping, we've got the Reno15 Pro in the office and ready for testing!
This is the international version, which means it's a 6.32-inch model that corresponds to the Indian Reno15 Pro Mini.
We have to say, the Reno15 Pro is a delight in the hands. Compact flagship-style phones don't do too well on the market, but we still love them.
Ours is the Dusk Brown model, and it looks classy. There's something Audi A6 Allroad about it, minus the grey plastic mudguards. Nearly the entire...
Qualcomm's CEO Cristiano Amon made some comments about the company being in talks with Samsung to produce its 2nm chips, although Samsung has since declined to comment on the matter.
Either way, this is an interesting turn of events given that Samsung's foundry isn't doing all that well. The last time Samsung produced Qualcomm-designed chips was in 2022, when the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 came out, but it was met with a lot of criticism for its thermal issues. Moreover, the Korean tech giant's foundry didn't meet Qualcomm's requirements in terms of yield, so the US chip designer turned to...
Late last year, the renowned tipster Evan Blass revealed the potential Galaxy S26 Unpacked event date - February 25, 2026, which at the time seemed far-fetched given that the last two Galaxy S Unpacked events were in late January. Now, we have the market release date as well.
One thing is for sure, though: this year's Unpacked event for the Galaxy S series will be significantly delayed, and a source from France claims that the series will go on sale on March 11.
Of course, pre-orders will kick off earlier than March 11, but shipments will likely commence on that date.
And as...
The Poco F8 Ultra sits atop the Poco portfolio, offering solid all-around performance at a sub-flagship price. But ever wondered what's inside, especially with the built-in subwoofer? Well, the guys at PBKreviews have done a complete teardown showing off the internals, and there are some interesting findings.
Let's start with repairability. Previous Poco F generations have been criticized for being hard to repair, but the F8 Ultra appears to have improved on that aspect. Still, it's not the easiest phone repair, especially with the stacked components and plenty of adhesive.

Even though the iPhone Air surprised us with dependable battery life given the design limitations, endurance remains one of the main concerns users have about the phone. Another big issue for consumers is the single-camera setup.
Luckily, Apple seems determined to address them in the next-generation iPhone Air, at least according to the latest news.
In late December last year, a report came out suggesting that the iPhone Air will feature a second camera, likely an ultrawide unit. Now, a rumor coming from The Elec talks about the battery life improvements. People familiar with the...
With the update to Nothing OS 4.0 based on Android 16 in October, Nothing introduced Lock Glimpse, a feature which basically consists of showing ads on the lock screen, but with a fancy-sounding name. Lock Glimpse has been present on the Nothing Phone (3a), Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, and Nothing Phone (3a) Lite ever since, and it's been quite controversial - even though you could technically stop the ads from showing up, the feature would still eat a lot of battery, according to multiple user reports.
Today Nothing is finally giving up on its lock screen ads experiment, but with a catch. Lock...
Earlier this week, Motorola unveiled the Signature – the first in a new line of premium phones that sits above the Edge series. That one is still on pre-order, but you can already see it in stores.
The Motorola Signature with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, 16GB of RAM and 512GB storage costs €1,000. It’s a slender 7mm phone that is fairly light at 186g without compromising the battery – 5,200mAh is more than you get from Samsung, Apple and Google, though not as much as Chinese brands are offering. The phone has a large 50MP sensor in the main camera (1/1.28” LYT-828), a 50MP 3x/71mm telephoto, 50MP...
The RedMagic 11 Air is coming soon, and today on Weibo more of its specs have been revealed. The phone allegedly comes with a 6.85-inch screen, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, up to 24GB of RAM, and a 7,000 mAh battery with support for 120W wired charging.
It measures 163.82 x 76.54 x 7.85mm and weighs 207g. It has an active cooling fan built-in, and an under-display selfie camera too. The RedMagic 11 Air was recently spotted on Geekbench, and this revealed that it will launch running Android 16 from day one.
