It may only be the third week of 2026, but one of the most anticipated phones of the year arrived at our doorstep – the Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica. The phone comes in an exclusive dual-tone finish, inspired by Leica cameras, complete with the signature Red Dot logo. The retail package is quite nice, featuring a 100W charger, braided USB-A to USB-C cable, a case, a metal Leica lens cap, a red wrist strap and a polishing cloth. Xiaomi’s top-tier flagship also features a knurled metal frame and a Control Ring - a mechanically-rotating ring around the camera island, which zooms between focal...

Oppo unveiled the Reno15 series for global markets on January 1, then launched it in India a week later including a Pro Mini model. Except that this Pro Mini (which is for India) corresponds to the global Pro model. The Pro model in India is instead the global Pro Max model. Oppo, please... Messy product names aside, these are some really cool phones. The Oppo Reno15 Pro Max – aka Reno15 Pro in India – combines a large 6.78” display (10-bit OLED with 1272p+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate) with a 6,500mAh battery (80W wired, 50W wireless charging).

Results from last week’s poll show that the Motorola Signature has a lot of potential, but there are many ways Motorola could screw it up and it already has to some extent. Here’s what the people have to say. First, thin is nice, but a bigger battery is better. The consensus was that a battery with 5,200mAh capacity is small in a phone with a 6.8” display. Maybe Apple, Samsung and Google would disagree, but concerns over battery life were a common refrain in the comments. We heard a lot about market availability too – the phone will launch in Europe and India soon, but much of the world...

Android tablets are slowly but surely becoming great in the shadow of the market-dominant iPad. Example, the Oppo Pad 5 Matte Display Edition, also known as the Oppo Pad Air5. This may very well be all the tablet you ever need. It has a large anti-glare display, a long-lasting battery, and solid performance. Let's touch on that last bit - the tablet has what Oppo calls a 48-month fluency protection, meaning it's TÜV SÜD certified to deliver smooth and responsive performance for at least 4 years. Okay. The Oppo Pad 5 Matte Display Edition The Oppo Pad 5 Matte Display Edition...

January has been a quiet month so far and the focus is on discounts on older models. That said, there are a couple of interesting additions to look at. The OnePlus 15R shows up as “coming soon” on Amazon, though it should switch to “available” soon. This year’s R-model brings a massive battery – 7,400mAh vs. 6,000mAh on the 13R – along with improved water resistance (IP68/IP69K vs. IP65). It also features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (non-Elite), up from the two-year-old Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. There have been some downgrades, however. First, the telephoto camera is gone, while the main camera...
