As the 2026 edition of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) draws to a close in Barcelona, Spain, the GSM Association (GSMA), which is the organizer of the event, has issued its traditional GLOMO awards.
This year, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra won "best in show", even though it wasn't announced at MWC. Similarly, the "best smartphone" award went to the iPhone 17 Pro series, released back in September of last year. And those are also two devices, not one, winning best smartphone singular. Who are we to judge, though, right?
In the entry-level "best device" category, the GLOMO went to...
Nothing's Phone (4a) is in the office, which means it's unboxing time. This is the regular, non-Pro model, though we're also bringing you a look at the Pro soon!
The Nothing Phone (4a) is up for pre-order and will start shipping on March 13. It's available in Black, White, Blue, and Pink, and in 8/128GB, 8/256GB, and 12/256GB variants. Prices start at €350/£350/₹32,000.
In the box, you get Nothing's interesting SIM tool, a USB-C cable, and a case - something the Phone (3a) didn't have a year ago.
Let's talk specs. Upfront, the Nothing Phone (4a) has an excellent 6.78-inch 120Hz...
Poco is expected to launch its new X Pro series phones soon and recently began teasing the upcoming devices, even taking a jab at Samsung’s Galaxy S26 lineup. The series is likely to include the Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max, and the company has now confirmed the chipsets that will power both models.
In a post on X, Poco revealed that the upcoming X Pro series phones will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 and Dimensity 9500s chipsets.
While Poco did not reveal the exact names of the upcoming phones, they are widely expected to be the Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max. The...
The Oppo K14x launched last month, and the K14 is also on the way, as revealed around the same time by a certification. The K14 is now officially acknowledged by Oppo since there's an entire microsite dedicated to it on Flipkart.
The phone has a 120Hz display with 1,125-nit peak brightness (so it's an LCD). The K14 is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 6300 SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The main camera is 50MP.
The device comes with an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance, a 7,000 mAh battery, and support for 45W wired charging. Judging by these specs, the K14...
The vivo T5x surfaced in a certification back in December, and now the company has finally acknowledged its existence and the fact that it's coming soon. The teaser campaign is now on, starting with a microsite on Flipkart - so you know exactly where it will be available to buy when it does fully launch.
While we don't know when that will happen, the company is promising to reveal more details about the T5x on March 10. If the past repeats itself, then expect to see vivo drip-feeding us specs over the course of a week or more, before the grand unveiling itself.
For what it's worth,...
Samsung’s attention was mostly on the screen while it was designing the Galaxy S26 Ultra, but the company did throw in a few upgrades for the camera – the 200MP main and the 50MP 5x telephoto modules have wider apertures than their counterparts on the S25 Ultra (main: f/1.7 to f/1.4, tele: f/3.4 to f/2.9). The Horizon Lock mode for videos is also an interesting one.
We have a full review of the S26 Ultra coming, for now you can check out our hands-on. We wanted to share one interesting discovery first – Samsung switched to a different type of lens for the 5x module.
The S25 Ultra...
Right on time, today Realme launched the Narzo Power in India. As we assumed based on the company's teasers, this is nothing but a rebranded Realme P4 Power (but with fewer RAM/storage options, at least for now). That model arrived about a month ago.
Realme Narzo Power in Titan Silver and Titan Blue
Thus, the Narzo Power has a 6.8-inch 1280x2800 AMOLED touchscreen with 144Hz refresh rate and 6,500-nit peak brightness, the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra SoC at the helm, 8GB of RAM, 128/256GB of storage, a 50MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, a 16MP selfie camera, and a...

Alongside the Nothing Phone (4a) and Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, today Nothing also introduced the Headphone (a), the first Nothing-branded affordable pair of over-ear headphones.
It comes in four colors: pink, yellow, white, and black. It's advertised to get 135 hours of battery life on one charge, which is quite an exceptional amount if we dare say so ourselves. Furthermore, a five-minute recharge will deliver five hours of playback. It weighs 310g, and sports memory foam cushions. It has an IP52 rating for dust and sweat resistance.
The Headphone (a) has the same controls as the...
Say what you will about Nothing, but the company certainly has bold and recognizable designs. The new (4a) series arrives with the latest evolution of those designs and shakes up the formula of the (3a) series.
Nothing Phone (4a) and Nothing Phone (4a) Pro
The (3a) and (3a) Pro from last year were largely differentiated by their cameras. The new Pro model still offers a better camera than its vanilla sibling, but only just – instead, it now also stands out with a bigger display, faster chipset, better build and a Glyph Matrix similar to the Phone (3) flagship.
The Nothing...
