The Redmi K90 Pro Max only lasted a single week on top of our trending chart as the newly announced OnePlus 15 replaces it this time around.
The Redmi top dog gets the silver, while the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max completes the podium.
In fourth we have the Oppo Find X9 Pro, which got a considerable boost in popularity following its global rollout. We'll see if it manages to climb even higher come next week.
The Samsung pair of Galaxy A56 and Galaxy S25 Ultra follows and then we have the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max. Each of those lost two positions this week.

The AirPods Pro 3 are the successors to one of the most popular pieces of audio equipment in the world. The previous generation AirPods Pro 2 came to be known for their audio quality, noise cancellation, and an incredible feature set, including being able to be used as medical-grade hearing aids, all while providing excellent integration within Apple's ecosystem of devices.
With this new model, Apple is claiming a 2x improvement in active noise cancellation over the AirPods Pro 2, which is apparently good enough for the title of the world’s best in-ear active noise cancellation....
OnePlus finally unveiled the long-awaited OnePlus 15 alongside the Ace 6. Both are official and selling in China and will become globally available (the Ace 6 will be called the OnePlus 15R) on November 13.
The OnePlus 15 has a 6.78-inch FHD+ 165Hz AMOLED, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 16GB of RAM, and a 7,300mAh battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. The OnePlus Ace 6 has a larger 7,800mAh battery and 6.82-inch 165Hz display, but the older Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Announced two weeks ago, Oppo’s Find X9 duo is already on sale in China and will be available globally from early November. Will you be buying one?
The Oppo Find X9 Pro will retail at €1,300 for a 16/512GB unit. In our review, we praised the phone’s improved camera performance and noted that it topped our battery life chart. You can also watch our video review for more details on the phone.
Oppo Find X9 Pro: key features
It is, perhaps, most evenly matched with the vivo X300 Pro, which just launched in Europe earlier this week. There’s also the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, but that...
In last week’s poll, the Honor Magic8 Pro rose up while the vanilla Magic8 went on a downwards trajectory. While the two phones share a lot of hardware, the more capable camera of the Pro model is giving it a serious advantage.
Honor Magic8 and Magic8 Pro
The Honor Magic8 Pro scored highly in the poll and the numbers can improve with solid reviews. Some are still wondering whether the camera improvements are as big as Honor claims.
One in ten voters is planning on holding off until the Ultra model is announced in the next few months. For the majority, though, the Pro model strikes...
There were plenty of new smartphone launches on the other side of the ocean in the last couple of weeks, but the US market has been pretty quiet. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any discounts this week, of course.
This is probably not a good sign – the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is under $700 for a 256GB unit and the upgrade to 512GB is only $40. Never mind the S25+ (which is out of stock on Amazon, anyway), the S25 Edge is now cheaper than the vanilla Galaxy S25! Unless you settle for the 128GB S25, which you probably shouldn’t.

Historically, the top-end Ultra from vivo's X series flagship phones has been reserved for the Chinese market, but this is likely to change as we now have strong evidence that the yet-to-be-announced vivo X300 Ultra will make it outside China this year.
According to the GSMA database, vivo might be preparing an international version of the X300 Ultra because the handset has appeared with a different model name that doesn't match the usual naming scheme for vivo's Chinese handsets. The model name in question is V2562. That's great news for users who have settled for the standard and Pro...
A new report from the well-known Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station states that Xiaomi is working on bringing a 9,000 mAh battery to one of its upcoming phones. Moreover, the device will support 100W fast charging, which makes it sound even more ambitious.
Moreover, Xiaomi is also working on a 10,000 mAh prototype. If this is true, the upcoming still-unknown Redmi phone will feature one of the largest phone batteries.
Some Chinese sources believe that the said phone is the upcoming Redmi Turbo 5, but that contradicts the most recent reports about this phone pointing at a 7,500 mAh...
Doogee launched the Doogee Fire 5 Ultra last month with dual camping lights on its rear, and we've learned from a reliable source that the brand is set to launch another rugged smartphone with dual camping lights, called the Doogee Fire 7 Pro.
