The Honor Magic V6 is one of the first big announcements coming out of this year’s MWC – the most impressive figures on its spec sheet are how thin it is, 4.0mm unfolded and 8.8mm folded, and how big its battery is, 6,660mAh. The phone reaps the benefits of Honor’s partnership with battery maker ATL. Its battery features fifth-generation Silicon-Carbon (Si-C) material. It achieves a high energy density by using 25% silicon content, which is the highest in the industry, according to Honor. As impressive as the Magic V6 battery is, Honor isn’t stopping there and is working on even thinner...

The Honor MagicPad 4 becomes the first tablet to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (the non-Elite near-flagship chipset). It is available starting today, though retail stores might have to wait until the 3rd. The tablet will be available at a discount this month and there are bundles with accessories on promo prices too. The offers for the UK and EU markets are slightly different, so let’s split them. Honor MagicPad 4 in Gray and White In the UK, the base MagicPad 4 (12/256GB) costs £600, while the 16/512GB upgrade is £700. However, a £100 early-bird voucher is available to...

Honor kicked off MWC 2026 by announcing its latest foldable – the Magic V6. It’s a milestone not just for Honor but for foldables in general, being the first to sport IP68 and IP69 ingress protection. And it’s a proper flagship, equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, triple cameras with a dedicated 3x optical zoom periscope and an upgraded 6,660mAh Si-C battery. Honor Magic V6 From an engineering perspective, this is Honor’s toughest foldable to date. It features a new Super Steel Hinge made of the strongest commercially available steel, and it’s tested at up to...

The Honor Magic V6 is now official, so let's do an unboxing. Ours is the Red model, and it ships with a USB cable and a color-matching red-and-gold case. The Magic V6 supports faster 80W wired and 66W wireless charging to the Magic V5's 66W/50W, but you'd need to buy the needed charger. The rear of the case tries to emulate the suede-like finish of the phone's rear panel, but it's nowhere as nice to the touch. It does, however, have the same color-changing qualities as the phone itself - the red changes its contrast under different angles. The case also has a clever kickstand...

Honor is ready to showcase several highly anticipated devices at its MWC event today, and you can tune in to the action via the stream below. The event is scheduled to start at 1PM CET time (12PM UTC) and we’ll be covering all of the major announcements from the event floor. So, what can we expect from this grand keynote? Honor’s next-gen book-style foldable Magic V6 for one. The device has been part of a teaser campaign for quite some time now and we’ll finally get to see it go official. It will be the first foldable to bring IP68 and IP69 ingress protection, while also boasting a...

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series may be named after the year 2026, but the three models feel like they are from different times. The Ultra once again gets the best new features, the vanilla model gets few but important upgrades, while the Plus model, well, there isn’t much to say about that one. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra boasts a new Privacy Display feature. Compared to the S25 Ultra, it also has wider apertures on its 200MP main (f/1.4 instead of f/1.7) and 5x 50MP telephoto module (f/2.9 instead of f/3.4). Samsung also finally pushed past its self-imposed 45W charging limit and the new...

These are the Redmi Buds 8 Pro in Glacier Blue, and we’re ready to unbox them right after their global premiere. They are the latest addition to the Redmi brand’s audio portfolio and bring some impressive specs, including triple drivers, hi-res audio streaming with LDAC support and active noise cancellation (ANC) rated at up to 55dB, all while retailing for under €100/£100. Our Glacier Blue review sample is arguably the best color option, with the other two being plain black and white. It has a satin-like matte finish with slight hints of silver throughout the case and buds. The...

Last week, we asked our readers whether they had any interest in buying a Pixel 10a – the answer is a resounding “no”. The majority of voters think there are better mid-rangers on the market. The best thing that we can say based on these results is that around a third of voters think that the 10a isn’t a bad phone, it’s just overpriced. Which is bad. Jokes aside, there was a similar attitude in the 9a poll a year earlier, but people warmed up to the 9a over time – or rather as the price cuts came in. So, maybe there is hope for the new model. One good reason to jump on the Google Pixel...

Xiaomi's latest Wear OS smartwatch is here, and it means serious business. Meet the Xiaomi Watch 5, a no-compromises smartwatch with a massive battery. Before we go through the numbers, let's do an unboxing. The Watch 5 ships with Xiaomi's typical two-pin magnetic charger. We're not fans of it. First, it ends on a USB-A connection, not a USB-C, which isn't ideal in early 2026. Second, the two-pin design means you need to fiddle when placing the watch down to charge. It'd be much easier if Xiaomi went with a universal magnetic design, like Samsung and OnePlus. Charger aside, the...

Next week will be busy with news from the MWC and upcoming Apple announcements. This week the big event was the launch of the Galaxy S26 series. In case you missed it, this post serves as a jumping off point to the most important details. We also have a hands-on review with all three S26 models as well as a hands-on video. Long story short, the S26 trio is already on pre-order and will officially go on sale on March 11. The first shipments should start arriving around that time too. It’s important to highlight that Samsung revised the prices of the S-series models – here’s the detailed...
