It's going to be a matter of vertically aligned cameras yet again, but unlike what the company has recently been doing for its non-folding phones,...

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.

Fitting most of the sensors from a smartwatch inside a ring with a diameter of just 8.1mm is an impressive engineering...

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.
