There are two sayings that can’t both be true at the same time: “newer is better” and “old but gold”. Today, we’re going with the second one. Amazon dug up some left over OnePlus 13 units – only 12/256GB – and is selling them at $700. Coincidentally, that is the same price that the new OnePlus 15R sells for (to be fair, that also comes with a $100 gift card or store credit). The OnePlus 13 has the better screen (1440p+ LTPO vs. 1272p+ LTPS), better cameras (triple 50MP including a 3x/73mm periscope vs. no tele camera at all), even its chipset is better – the Snapdragon 8 Elite edges out...

Instagram introduced the Close Friends feature for Instagram Stories back in November 2018, and last September, we learned that WhatsApp was developing that same feature for its users. Now we've learnt that WhatsApp is also working on a Custom Lists feature for status updates, giving its users more privacy control. This revelation comes from the folks at WABetaInfo, who discovered this under-development Custom Lists feature in beta version 2.26.5.11 of WhatsApp for Android. As the name suggests, Custom Lists allows WhatsApp users to create lists for different audiences who can see their...

Spotify has been incredibly busy over the past couple of days. After officially launching Page Match, it's introducing About the Song, which it bills as "a new way to explore the stories behind music". This new feature puts short, swipeable story cards in your Now Playing view, which "explore the meaning behind the music you're hearing". The stories are summarized from third-party sources "to surface interesting details and behind-the-scenes moments", the official press release states. To see this, you need to open the Now Playing view and scroll down to find the About the Song...

The Honor 500 launched back in November, but Honor is already allegedly working on its successor. Now some details about the Honor 600 got outed in China. The phone will allegedly have a 6.57-inch screen. That would be marginally bigger than the Honor 500's 6.55" panel. Perhaps more importantly, the Honor 600 is now being tested with a 9,000 mAh battery. Honor 500 That's 1,000 mAh bigger than its predecessor's, and for a smartphone of this size, it would be record-breaking. Unfortunately, no other details about the Honor 600 have been leaked just yet, but stay tuned and we'll let...

This week we will revisit some old (and some not so old) offers since the prices have been revised even further down. A couple of weeks ago, the Redmi Note 15 Pro was €350 for a 12/512GB unit. Now there is a €30 voucher, which brings the final price down to €320. An 8/256GB version is also available, though since it’s only €20 cheaper, we recommend getting the version with more RAM and double the storage. The Redmi Note 15 Pro has a 6.83” 12-bit 120Hz OLED display and a Dimensity 7300 Ultra chipset. The phone boasts a 200MP main camera (1/1.4” sensor, OIS), but the ultra-wide (8MP) and...

The vivo Y21 launched in 2021, and now the brand is working on the Y21 5G. Weird, we know, but apparently vivo couldn't help but reuse this name, despite there being an infinite number of other options. The Y21 5G will come with a 6,355 mAh rated battery in India and Malaysia, and a 5,090 mAh rated battery elsewhere. These capacities will probably end up advertised as typical 6,500 mAh and 5,250 mAh, respectively. vivo Y21 5G EPREL labels We know all this because the phone has two model numbers for its two versions: V2553, already certified for sale in India and Malaysia by BIS...

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A56 last March, but it's rumored to introduce the Galaxy A57 5G early, that is, in the second week of this month, meaning next week. While there's no word yet from Samsung on the Galaxy A57 5G, we expect the smartphone to go official soon, as it has been certified by the Bluetooth SIG, bringing it a step closer to launch. Bluetooth SIG has listed multiple models of the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G, which are all region-specific versions, with the one bearing model designation SM-A576S expected to be released exclusively through SK Telecom in South Korea. Leaked...

We get a ton of leaks and rumors about upcoming devices as you probably know, but this one is something special. It's not actually a leak. Instead, someone in charge of Poco's official website for Belgium mistakenly uploaded pricing information for the yet-unannounced Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max. The images in question (which you can see below) were quickly taken down, but the Internet is forever, so there's no hiding now. Let's start with the Poco X8 Pro. It will go for €399.90 in its base configuration with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The model with 512GB of space will be priced...

Oppo is launching the K14x in India next week, and it's also working on the K14 Turbo and K14 Turbo Pro for China. There will, however, also be a 'vanilla' Oppo K14. This has been revealed through its certification by the Bluetooth SIG. It has the model number CPH2869, whereas the K14x (which was also certified by the same authority) has the model number CPH2871. No other details are known about the K14 yet, but its model number reveals that it's headed to international markets outside of China. We'll let you know when we find out more about it. Via

Following up on the earlier leak showing the Galaxy S26 Ultra from all angles through a 360-degree video, Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) is now back with some very official-looking high-res renders depicting what seems to be the vanilla Galaxy S26. Of course there's a chance it's the S26+ in these images, but based on how much the camera island occupies of the total length, it's a tad more likely it's the S26. Samsung Galaxy S26 leaked renders There is, of course, nothing new here, but we are seeing the white color and all of the previously leaked features of the design are...
