Xiaomi just took the wrapping off the Smart Band 11 in China, with registrations already open on the home market. Now, just to be clear, this is different from the Smart Band 11 Active, which is already a thing, and if Xiaomi sticks to precedent, we can probably expect another entirely different Smart Band 11 Pro at some point as well. The Smart Band 11 retains the signature pill-shaped display. It has the same 1.72-inch diagonal as the previous version and is again an AMOLED panel. However, unlike the Smart Band 10, which advertises up to 1,500 nits of brightness, the new Smart Band 11...

Wait, Galaxy A18 4G? Isn't that still way off in the future and meant to come out in 2027? Well, no. We get the confusion. Unless you live in the US, the Galaxy A17 5G and Galaxy A17 4G actually came out last year in 2026. The Galaxy A27, A37 and even the A07 are, indeed, 2026 models, but Samsung has decided to stick to its one-year refresh cycle rather than worry about naming and year consistency. Anyway, the A17 4G is about a year old now, so it's time for the A18 4G. Samsung Galaxy A18 4G This early look is for the 4G model in particular, though we have little...

Notably, RugOne launched its Xever 7 series of rugged phones at IFA last year. The Xsnap 7 Pro’s party trick is its detachable camera, which is housed within the rear panel when not in use.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE is now available in markets around the world. The new FE model didn’t get a pre-order period like S-phones typically do, which means it missed out on pre-order perks too. That isn’t to say that there are no deals to be had – here is what is going on in a few key markets. At the time of this writing, Samsung US still hasn’t updated its site so we don’t see the S26 FE in its online store. On the plus side, Amazon offers a $200 gift card, which gives the phone some breathing room – without the gift card, the S26 FE is too close to the S26+ for comfort. ...
