Weekly poll: will you buy a Sony Xperia 1 VI or Xperia 10 VI?

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...

Weekly poll results: the Google Pixel 8a is too expensive right now

“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...

Deals: Xiaomi 14 Ultra price drops by £200, vanilla Xiaomi 14 gets £100 cheaper

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....

Motorola Razr 50 and 50 Ultra renders surface online

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...

Could this actually be an iPhone 16 pictured in the wild?

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,...

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge pricing leaks

Ever since Qualcomm announced its Snapdragon X Elite ARM-based chips for Windows on ARM laptops there has been sort of a race to the finish line from manufacturers to put out actual products with the chip.

vivo has unveiled three phones in the Y200 series so far – the vanilla Y200, the Y200e with a processor upgrade and the Y200i with an LCD and a larger battery. Yes, “series” and, yes, “so far”.

Sony Xperia 10 VI in for review

This is the Xperia 10 VI, Sony's annual midranger, and on the surface, not much has changed. It follows the blueprint of its predecessor almost to the letter. A mid-sized phone with great battery life, solid multimedia credentials, and the Sony experience for Sony faithful. The Xperia 10 VI is environmentally conscious, which is to say that it ships in a recycled box without any plastic inside, but also sadly no accessories - hope you have a charger and USB cable lying around. Over 50% of the phone's own plastics are recycled too! The new phone has lost the dedicated 54mm zoom...

Sony Xperia 1 VI is here - SD 8 Gen 3, better zoom and more conventional screen

The Sony Xperia 1 VI is official and it's looking like a welcome refinement of the Xperia 1 V formula. The biggest change is the move away from the staple 4K OLED in its cinema 21:9 aspect ratio and towards a more conventional 19.5:9 1080x2340px panel. The diagonal is still 6.5 inches, but with the new aspect it's actually a slightly larger screen. The display is now brighter too - up from 900 nits to 1,300 nits - and smarter - the LTPO panel variably adjusts between 1Hz and 120Hz, whereas the Xperia 1 V mostly toggled between 60Hz and 120Hz.

Google shows off Gemini's conversational skills ahead of I/O

iQOO Z9x's India launch date revealed

The iQOO Z9x introduced in China last month will launch in India on May 16. We don't have its Indian pricing yet, but the brand announced the Z9x will be sold through its official Indian website and Amazon.in in the country.

Apple may be ahead of schedule for its 20.3-inch foldable device, to launch in 2025

A new report based on an investor note claims that Apple is likely ahead of schedule with its devices.

Samsung's Exynos 2600 may ditch AMD's RDNA GPU for an in-house solution

According to a recent post by a reputable source on X (@rquandt), Samsung is readying to replace the Xclipse GPU co-developed with AMD for an in-house solution. But not just yet. The Exynos 2500's GPU will still be based on AMD's RDNA architecture, although it will likely be the last of its kind. The RDNA-based Xclipse GPU debuted with the Exynos 2200 and has even made its way to Samsung's mid-range Exynos 1480. It was marketed as a serious Adreno competitor (Qualcomm's GPU) and was touted to have exceptional performance in ray-tracing games. However, if the reports are true, it looks...

vivo X Fold3 Pro might go global, benchmark suggests

When vivo introduced the X Fold3 and X Fold3 Pro in March, we expected the phones to remain exclusive to China like the predecessors. Now, this might change, as a global version appears on Geekbench. A phone with the model number V2330 reached over 6,300 in multi-core score, suggesting the device is being prepped for an international unveiling. This is the very same device that was certified in Indonesia more than a month ago, which was already confirmed to have the name X Fold3 Pro.
