We’ve reviewed our fair share of smart wearables here at GSMArena but the ring form factor has evaded us until now. Ultrahuman is a young company aiming to establish itself in the smart ring market and Ring Air is its latest product. This is the lightest smart ring on the market and it promises to deliver the health and activity tracking you'd normally get in a smartwatch but in a form factor that's far less obtrusive, while still offering multi-day battery life. Fitting most of the sensors from a smartwatch inside a ring with a diameter of just 8.1mm is an impressive engineering...

The Mark 6 Sony phones were unveiled earlier this week, but if you want one, you will have to wait until June. Do you want one? Let’s talk about the phones and have a vote. The Sony Xperia 1 VI finally gave up on trying to cram 4K resolution in a 6 and a bit inch screen and went with FHD+. And it’s an LTPO panel to boot, both of which combined result in stunning battery life. Well, that and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which appears to be running of two AA batteries. For all the focus on gaming in the Xperia 1 VI advertising, the phone isn’t great at it (sustained performance is bad...

“Not at this price” seems to be the main takeaway from last week’s poll about the Google Pixel 8a. $500/€550/₹53,000 is too high and people would rather get the regular Pixel 8, which can often be found for a similar price (though not for long, stock seems to be running low). We saw a lot of comments about the bezels – indeed, the Pixel 8 is a bit smaller (2mm shorter and 2mm narrower) despite having a slightly larger screen (very slightly). Everything else is equal or in favor of the regular 8, so why buy the 8a? Of course, the launch price won’t hold for long – it didn’t for the...

In our review of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, we called its camera system “nearly flawless”. However, the Cons section points out that this is a pricey phone – and it still is, though a bit less than usual right now. Amazon UK has knocked some £200 off the regular price of the 16/512GB model, which is the only one available in the UK. This offer only applies to the White colorways and there aren’t all that many units left in stock. [#InlineDealWidget, 74790#] The smaller Xiaomi 14 also got a glowing review and it corrects one of the few complaints we had about the Ultra – battery life....

Thanks to multiple specs leaks, we already have a pretty good idea of the kind of hardware to expect from the upcoming Rarz 50 pair. Thanks to prolific leakster @evlekas, we also have detailed and very official-looking renders of both phones. Let’s kick things off with the vanilla Motorola Razr 50, which will also likely be known as the Moto Razr 2024 in some markets. The upgrade in design compared to the predecessor is pretty substantial. Notice the leather finish on the back for an extra premium look and feel. The larger external display instantly stands out, now sitting at 3.63 inches...

Apple is notoriously secretive about its unannounced devices and affairs in general. iPhone leaks, in particular, are very rare. We often rely on second-hand or related industry and supplier information to get some hints. Like when we learned just recently that the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro display production is expected to be on schedule in June, hinting that the new iPhone 16 models will stick to tradition and come out in September. This year, however, there might be some cracks in Apple’s security since we did already see a fairly believable dummy iPhone 16 Pro Max unit in the wild,...
