Welcome to your week's recap. Nothing dropped the Phone (4b) - cheaper, yet retaining Nothing's core specs - a Glyph Bar (but simplified), a big 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a 5,200mAh battery, and a 50MP stabilized main camera. The phone starts at €329 and it's on pre-order. The vivo V80 series is reportedly launching next month with larger 7,200mAh batteries, Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 for the standard V80, ZEISS-branded cameras, and 90W charging. Pricing is expected to stay in line with the current V70 lineup. A fresh leak detailed the entire Pixel 11 lineup's European pricing, with all...

Nothing is narrowing its scope – in January, it announced that it won’t release a flagship in 2026 and last month it canceled the CMF Phone 3 Pro. This only leaves the (4a) phones and now a (4b) model too, a new mid-ranger that was announced earlier this week. The Nothing Phone (4b) is a bit cheaper than the Nothing Phone (4a) but not as cheap as the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite (is the (4a) Lite canceled too?). Here is a quick price comparison for 8/128GB units. Note that there is an 8/256GB configuration of the (4b) available exclusively in India. Nothing Phone (3a) Lite ...

We only recently finished reviewing the Galaxy A27. It had a pretty delayed launch compared to the rest of its Galaxy A family siblings, like the Galaxy A37, which came out all the way back in April. That's just one of the explanations for the pricing faux pas the Galaxy A27 finds itself in. In the US, Samsung technically launched the A27 at $350, while running a promo for the A37 at $330 at the same time. That was quickly corrected with the A37 getting back its old price - $450, which coincidentally is exactly how much the Galaxy A57 costs at the moment. Things aren't much different...

Nothing unveiled the Nothing Phone (4b) earlier this week – this is the first (b) series phone, but it’s a mid-ranger not unlike the (a) series models. In fact, the (4a) is the better phone. The Nothing Phone (4b) has a 6.77” 1080p+ OLED display, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset and a 5,200mAh battery with 33W charging (for Europe, India is getting a version with a larger 6,000mAh battery). The 50MP main camera has a tiny sensor (1/2.76”) and is joined only by an 8MP ultra-wide camera – even the CMF Phone 2 Pro had a telephoto lens (but the CMF Phone 3 Pro got canceled). The (4b) is currently...

After initially launching in Korea and the US, Samsung's Galaxy XR headset is now finally available in the UK as well, from Samsung’s online store. It's been up for pre-order over there since mid-June. You can buy one for a recommended retail price of £1,699. For a limited time (that isn't actually specified in the official press release), buying it will also get you an "Explorer Pack" which Samsung says is worth £665. This contains 12 months of Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, Google Play Pass, Calm Premium, and Project Pulsar by Adobe, as well as NFL PRO ERA and the Asteroid...
