It was a busy week over at Cupertino, California – the annual WWDC introduced the latest versions of Apple’s key operating systems. Let’s focus in on iOS – what did you think about its new features and improvements? If you need a refresher or you missed the announcement altogether, here’s what’s new in iOS 27. The headlining feature this week – not just for iOS but the whole WWDC – is the new Siri AI. This and the next generation of Apple Intelligence. iOS 27 But there were other changes too, like Apple trying to polish the maligned Liquid Glass design language. Also, iPhones...

Like with other book-style foldables, Motorola Razr Fold’s biggest flaw is its price – indeed, in last week’s poll, the biggest group of voters was the one that gave the price tag a thumbs down. To put it in concrete terms, the Fold has an MSRP of EUR 2,000 / GBP 1,800 / INR 150,000 / USD 1,900 / CAD 2,700. That’s not the only problem, but the high cost of the device amplifies its other issues. For one, Motorola promises 7 years of OS updates and security patches. That’s on par with what other manufacturers promise and better than most other Motorolas. However, Moto just doesn’t have the...

This week saw the annual WWDC from Apple. The week before, it was Google I/O – both are software-focused events, so there wasn’t any new hardware. So, we turn to older models instead. The Samsung Galaxy S26+ is not going to win any popularity contests, but it’s a solid middle-of-the-road smartphone that offers a good balance of features, support and price. Right now, the 512GB model is down to $900 – that’s the same price as the 256GB version, but note that only the Black units have such a deep cut. The Cobalt Violet is the second best at $1,020, which is a rather large gap. If you don’t...

Samsung's Galaxy-branded smartphones and tablets have been lacking a feature that many other Android devices, especially from Chinese brands, had for years. We are talking about the real-time network speed indicator displayed in the status bar, now available for Galaxy users via the QuickStar module in Samsung's Good Lock customization app. Samsung users could get a real-time network speed indicator on their Galaxy phone, but it required a third-party app or enabling a firmware flag if the device was rooted. But that's not needed now if your device is running the Android 17-based One UI 9,...

Camera company Insta360 launched the Luna Ultra three days ago. On the same day, DJI sued Insta360 in the US for how similar the Luna Ultra is to its upcoming Osmo Pocket 4P. Now, Insta360 has filed two countersuits against DJI in the US, asserting DJI infringed its patents related to gimbal and 360° camera tech. Insta360 says the patents infringed by DJI relate to gimbal stabilization, gimbal directional control, camera smooth stabilization, telemetry overlay, and panoramic video stabilization tech, all incorporated into several DJI products, including the Osmo Pocket series, Ronin/RS...

Samsung has released the stable One UI 8.5 update for the Galaxy F15, which launched in 2024 with One UI 6.

Honor launched the X7e 4G earlier this month, and if you've been wondering whether this phone would get a 5G option, the answer seems to be "yes, kind of". The Honor X7e Plus 5G has now been certified for sale in the UAE by TDRA and it's also been spotted in the SGS database. We're not sure exactly what makes this a "Plus" aside from the 5G connectivity, so we can't be sure how similar it is to the already launched X7e 4G. But based on the SGS certification, we can assume the X7e Plus 5G will be offered in the EU and Saudi Arabia too. Honor X7e Plus 5G...
