The Xbox Ally X, along with the cheaper Xbox Ally, is made in collaboration with Microsoft's Xbox division, and features a unique design that mirrors Xbox controllers, as well as ships with a lightly modified version of Windows 11.

While they don’t look that much different from their predecessors, the 7i offer updated active noise cancellation, which Huawei claims is 30% better than the outgoing buds while offering 50% lower latency.

2025 has been a busy year for OnePlus, with close to a dozen different launches across the globe in various categories. However, it was also one of the more controversial years for the brand, and signaled a change in direction for the company that may not be appreciated by its fans.
Loser: OnePlus Open 2
The year started on a downer, with the company canceling its foldable plans for 2025 back in February. The OnePlus Open from 2023 was a phenomenal product, not just because it was an excellent foldable, but also because it was an excellent smartphone. It was expected to be followed by...

Oppo Find X8 Ultra
The ultrawide camera will reportedly use the Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor, a 1/2.76" type, with 50MP resolution. The ultrawide will have a 15mm focal length. Interestingly, the JN5 sensor will make another appearance in a 230mm telephoto...
This year has been an eventful one for cameraphones, carrying over the trend. Some manufacturers made huge strides when it comes to cameras, while others decided to focus on polishing their products. But at the end of the day, pretty much all manufacturers have something to show for when it comes to cameras.
Arguably, vivo ended up leading the pack. The company released the China-only vivo X200 Ultra in early 2025, while the X300 and X300 Pro arrived a couple of months before the end of the year, but made it to global stage. The vivo X300 Pro, didn't bring that many improvements to the...

And mind you, these may not necessarily be the best smartphones we used during the year, but the ones we enjoyed using the most. In other words, these are our personal favorites. I, too, used a few smartphones in...
