Samsung made the decision to cancel the Galaxy S26 Edge pretty late in the development process and it replaced it with the Galaxy S26+. However, since work on the S26+ started late, the company is now scrambling to get it done. Insiders speaking to Korean publication The Elec have revealed some last-minute changes.
Apparently, Samsung was initially planning on taking the new display panel that it had developed for the S26 Edge and using it on the Plus model. Then it decided against that, which left it with no time for a replacement part, so the S26+ will use an almost identical panel to...
Honor is launching the Magic8 Pro Air on January 19, and ahead of that a prototype now seems to have run Geekbench 6.5. As always, this has resulted in the device being listed in the benchmark's online database.
The phone has the model number LDY-AN00. It managed a single-core score of 2,969 and a multi-core score of 9,892, though as usual we have to caution you against taking such results from prototypes too seriously.
The handset runs Android 16, and it's powered by the Dimensity 9500 SoC paired with 16GB of RAM (though of course more memory options could be offered).
Honor has...
Motorola skipped a generation in 2025, but the Moto G Play is back in 2026 - meet the aptly named Moto G Play (2026).
It came out alongside the Moto G (2026) in November and shares most of its specs with it - the screen, the chipset, and the battery capacity are all the same. Where they differ is in the storage - 128GB for the G, 64GB for the G Play; the charging speed is 30W on the Moto G (2026) and 18W on the Play (2026).
You also get better cameras on the Moto G (2026) - 50MP main vs 32MP, a second 2MP macro, and a high-res 32MP selfie vs 8MP on the Moto G Play (2026).

Global smartphone shipments recorded 4% growth in Q4, 2025, as the market was able to absorb rising component costs. According to preliminary data shared by Omdia, Apple was the runaway leader in terms of shipments and reached a record 25% market share. That means 1 in every 4 phones shipped in the last three months of 2025 was an iPhone.
That’s not particularly surprising as demand for the iPhone 17 series has remained strong since its launch in September. The holiday period also saw continued traction from older iPhone models like the 16 series, but it was the base iPhone 17 that...
MediaTek introduced its flagship mobile chipset, the Dimensity 9500 SoC, in September last year, and has now followed it up with the new Dimensity 9500s. The company has also announced the mid-range Dimensity 8500 chipset alongside it.
Just like the Dimensity 9500, the new octa-core 9500s also features an ‘All Big Core’ architecture and is manufactured using a 3nm process.
MediaTek Dimensity 9500s
The Dimensity 9500s comes with a primary Arm Cortex-X925 Ultra core clocked at 3.73GHz. It also gets three Cortex-X4 premium cores and four Cortex-A720 performance cores. For graphics,...
Xiaomi held a European launch event for the Redmi Note 15 series today, and it also expanded its smart wearables with the Redmi Buds 8 Lite wireless earbuds and Mijia Smart Audio Glasses.

They feature touch-sensitive areas on the temples, which allow you to adjust playback, volume, access your device’s voice assistant or manage calls. Xiaomi also added real-time recording for calls...
Spotify has quietly revamped its UI for Android tablets recently. There's a media player on the right, which you can change the dimensions of just like you can in Spotify's desktop app. There's also a new bar at the bottom with icons for Home, Search, Library, and Create.
This new UI seems to be rolling out already and it's not a beta build - you will get it if you have an Android tablet. It's a nice quality of life improvement that makes the playback control experience more flexible.

They took their sweet, sweet time, but the Redmi Note 15 series phones have finally arrived in Europe. The series made its debut in China with slightly different specs, then launched in India. The global launch originally happened in mid-December, so we’ve been waiting for a while.
The five new models are finally available. And yes, it’s five models as Xiaomi continues building 4G versions for the Pro and vanilla members (the Pro+ is 5G only).
This generation is defined by “Redmi Titan Durability”. This includes the first SiC batteries in the Redmi Note family – the Redmi Note 15 Pro+...

It was nearly a year ago that the GSM Association published the RCS Universal Profile 3.0, which, among other things, includes an end-to-end encryption (E2EE) standard for messages. The previous E2EE implementation was a Google-specific thing, which is why Apple didn’t support it when it adopted RCS with iOS 18.
Now that there is an industry standard, Apple is working to implement it – this will finally enable encrypted messaging between Android and Apple devices. Well, Apple is not pushing itself too hard – again, it’s been almost a year – but signs of support have been discovered in iOS...
