After four weeks at the top, the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max was finally dethroned as the most popular phone in our database. The Chinese maker won't be too sad about it, though, as it's replaced at the top by the newly announced Redmi K90 Pro Max. The third spot went to the Samsung Galaxy A56, which began another slow climb up the ranks, followed by the Galaxy S25 Ultra in fourth. The iPhone 17 Pro Max retained its fifth position as the Oppo Find X9 Pro climbed to sixth.

Back in our day, phones used to come with chargers – now you’re lucky if you get a cable. The good news is that USB-C and USB charging standards have done away with the compatibility issue of the past (well, mostly), so a few good chargers are all you need. That means that you have to pick the chargers yourself, though. Here are the ones we use. And yes, you do need multiple – for your home, maybe for work and your car, maybe for travel.

Renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has joined a growing stream of analysts reporting that Apple is scaling back iPhone Air orders. Per Kuo, Apple is scaling back both shipments and production capacity. Most suppliers will reduce capacity by more than 80% by Q1 of 2026, and some components with longer lead times will be outright discontinued by the end of 2025. It seems that, like the iPhone mini and iPhone Plus models, the Air was unable to gain significant traction. But this doesn't mean that the iPhone Air has failed. Apple's iPhone Pro models usually outpace all other models...

Here comes the Realme GT8, riding on the coattails of the GT8 Pro. The pair made their official debut in China today, and while the vanilla is similar in looks and on paper, there are some subtle differences. For starters, the camera island isn't customizable, so you'd better pick the one you like up front. The GT8 ships in white, green, and blue, just like the Pro. The green has a micro-texture finish, while the other two are matte. The Realme GT8 packs 2024's Snapdragon 8 Elite instead of the Elite Gen 5 inside the GT8 Pro.

Samsung is cooking – according to @Jukanlosreve, who is closely following the semiconductor industry, the Exynos 2600 will deliver massive GPU and NPU performance improvements. It will be enough to beat Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Apple’s A19 Pro by pretty solid margins, apparently. And if that is true, then the Exynos 2600 could feature on all Galaxy S26 models, not just the base S26 as initially rumored. At least that is what leakster Ice Universe is hearing from his sources. However, that doesn’t mean the Snapdragon is out – there will be regional...

If you are looking to buy one of the new iPhones (or you already got one), you can’t have missed reports that the two Pro models are prone to scratching – apparently, it has something to do with how their aluminum chassis was anodized.

The iPhone Air turned out to be pretty tough (it’s the only new model to use titanium), you still may want to protect your investment. That means picking out a case for your new iPhone – we picked out some of the highest rated options and listed them below. Note that most of these...

It has been a pretty quiet week in the US market as far as smartphones are concerned, but Apple did unveil the M5 chipset and launched three new products with it. But let’s start with phones and with no new launches, we turn to the usual suspects. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge has reportedly been canceled, to be replaced with the Galaxy S26+ - a phone that was once rumored to have been canceled itself. So, the Galaxy S25 Edge may remain Samsung’s thinnest phone for a while. It’s not as capable as its S25+ sibling, but at least it’s a lot cheaper. ...
