Apple announced its first new device of 2026 – the second-generation AirTag. It arrives nearly five years after the original AirTag’s debut and brings several updates while retaining the same basic design as its predecessor.
AirTag 2nd Gen
The “new AirTag” brings Apple’s second-generation Ultra Wideband chip. It’s the same chip found in the iPhone 17 series, Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Series 11 smartwatches, and it unlocks improved Precision Finding, which can now guide users to their lost items from 50% farther away.

Oppo’s upcoming compact smartphone, the Find X9s, is shaping up to be a camera-centric device. In December last year, the handset was tipped to feature dual 200MP cameras, and the same tipster has now reaffirmed the claim.
According to Digital Chat Station, the Oppo Find X9s will indeed offer dual 200MP cameras, a first in a compact smartphone.
The phone will feature a 200MP primary and a 200MP periscope telephoto unit. It will also get a 50MP ultrawide angle camera, as per the tipster. This is interesting since even the Find X9 Pro doesn’t feature dual 200MP cameras.

The Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro launched last March, and so their successors are probably only a few weeks away at this point. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro was first spotted in an IMEI listing all the way back in September, then a leak in December detailed both upcoming devices giving us some specs, and earlier this month Nothing confirmed a storage upgrade for at least one of the models, along with a possible price hike.
Now, the Nothing Phone (4a) may have been certified in the UAE by TDRA, with the model number A069. For reference, note that the aforementioned IMEI listing of the...
The iPhone Fold is expected to be launching later this year as Apple's first foldable smartphone. The most notable thing about it, at least from the leaks we've had so far, is its form factor, which means it's much wider when folded than most of its competitors, while unfolding straight into landscape mode.
Thus, when unfolded, it has an aspect ratio that's more rectangular and less square than what other similar devices can offer. Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold, seen here next to a mockup of the iPhone Fold, is the exception, as it basically unfolds into a 10-inch tablet, but that one does...
Motorola launched the G15 entry-level 4G-only smartphone in December of 2024 and then finally released it last February, so you wouldn't be wrong for thinking it's now high time for a successor to show up. And Motorola appears to be thinking the same way, as it's working on the G17.
[#InlinePriceWidget,13507,1#]
An FAQ page for the G17, regarding inserting or removing a SIM card, is already live on Motorola's US support site, confirming the phone's development and also the fact that it supports microSD cards up to 1TB in size. This page also tells us that there will be a Moto G17 Power...

Last week, the OnePlus 15R 512GB had a £100 discount, which made it cheaper than the 256GB version (since that one was at MSRP). Now there’s also an additional £20 discount available at checkout – it’s not much, but the phone only just launched.
With the extra discount, the 15R is now £40 cheaper than the Poco F8 Ultra. The Poco still has things going for it like the faster Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset (vs. 8 Gen 5 on the OnePlus). The Poco F8 Ultra also has a better camera setup with a larger 50MP main (1/1.31” vs. 1/1.56”), a higher resolution ultra-wide (50MP vs. 8MP) and a 50MP...
