Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 and Flip7 FE battery ratings posted, retailer listing confirms key specs

We already came across the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7’s EPREL label yesterday which confirmed its battery endurance, alongside key info on durability, repairability and ingress protection. We now have the same details for the Galaxy Z Flip7 which unsurprisingly shares identical scores in terms of overall energy efficiency (B), durability (A) and repairability (C) while also boasting an IP48 ingress protection rating. Flip7 does get a higher expected battery life on a single charge – at 42 hours and 4 minutes. Galaxy Z Flip7 EPREL label and detailed listing The detailed listing...

Honor freezes, bakes, and shoots the Magic V5 to prove how durable it is

Honor made the Magic V5 official a couple of days ago, and today it's shared a new promo video for the phone, which is definitely different. It shows the Magic V5 withstanding a simulation of very forceful pouring rain, which isn't that unexpected considering its IP59 rating for protection from high-pressure water jets. The phone is then frozen, then subjected to a very high temperature. Then things get weird. Steel balls are being shot at the phone to make a point about its durability, and of course it withstands the impacts without any issue. See for yourself above. The Honor...

Sony stops selling the Xperia 1 VII to fix some issues

Sony unveiled the Xperia 1 VII, its latest flagship smartphone, in May, and it's already been available in Japan for a while now. However, today the company has announced that it's temporarily suspending shipments and sales of the device in its home market. This is due to many reports of Xperia 1 VII units turning off by themselves, randomly rebooting, and even not turning on. Obviously, any one of those three is a huge problem individually, but apparently all of them are currently happening in the wild. To those who have an Xperia 1 VII that won't turn on, Sony suggests holding...

Nothing Phone (3) is now up for pre-order

Nothing finally fully unveiled the Phone (3) at the beginning of this month, following a weeks-long teaser campaign. The company bills this as its first ever proper flagship smartphone, and while it being on par with the Ultras of the world is highly debatable, it is undoubtedly Nothing's highest-end device to date.

iPhone 17 Pro Max's battery capacity rumored to be larger than its predecessor's

The iPhone 17 Pro Max will come with a larger battery than its predecessor's 4,685 mAh cell. According to a new rumor out of China today, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will finally be the first iPhone to reach 5,000 mAh. As you may know, that's pretty much been the default capacity for flagship Android devices up until recently, when Chinese brands started using Si/C batteries thus taking them past that limit, while Samsung and Google have been content to stay around the 5,000 mAh mark, for now at least. iPhone 16 Pro Max Throughout Apple's iPhone Pro Max line, every new generation brought...

Samsung tri-fold appears in One UI 8 code

Samsung was one of the pioneers in the foldable phone market and we’ve already seen teasers about its upcoming first tri-fold device. Some rumors suggest we may see the tri-fold at next week’s Galaxy Unpacked event and we now have an actual look at the device thanks to the team over at Android Authority who discovered animation files hidden in the latest One UI 8 build. These show the device’s design, which includes three rear panels and two inward folding hinges. The more interesting bit is that the hinges on Samsung’s tri-fold feature different sizes and will reportedly...

Counterpoint: Global TWS earbuds market primed for growth through 2028

The latest report from Counterpoint Research shows TWS earbuds sales are expected to grow by 3% in 2025 and continue to see positive demand through 2028. While the product category is entering its maturity phase i.e. peak sales and increased competition, there’s still room for growth, especially in the entry-level range for devices priced under $50.

Our Motorola Razr+ 2025 video review is out

In our Motorola Razr 2025 video review, we concluded that the phone holds promise, but chipset performance, battery life and camera image quality left something to be desired. Maybe the Motorola Razr+ 2025 is the better option? The truth is that the Razr+ 2025 is essentially a re-release of last year’s Razr+, except with upgraded ingress protection (IP48 instead of IPX8) and a newer Android version out of the box. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is no match for modern flagship chips like in the Razr Ultra 2025, but it trounces the Dimensity 7400X inside the vanilla Razr 2025. So that’s one problem...

Nothing Headphone (1) in for review

Even though the Nothing brand began its journey with mid-range phones, the company is quickly expanding its portfolio and now added its first over-ear headphones, which are anything but cheap. The Headphone (1) features an unorthodox design, comfy earpads and a set of premium features. The goal is to go head-to-head with the likes of Sony, Bose and Sennheiser. The headphones follow Nothing's transparent, techy design language and offer premium build quality. The design is definitely polarizing, but it's instantly recognizable and we feel this was always the goal. Nothing...

Infinix Hot 60i arrives with 45W fast charging, same Helio G81 chipset

Nothing Phone (3) hands-on

Nothing has a new flagship phone - say hello to the Nothing Phone (3). The freshly announced Phone (3) arrives nearly two years after the Phone (2), and there are plenty of differentiating factors between the two. Let’s start with the back, since it's always been a key area on Nothing devices. Phone (3) brings a polarizing look, to say the least. Nothing went with a three-column grid look with an off-centered periscope zoom camera sticking out on the top-right corner. It’s different from what we’ve seen on past devices from the brand and it certainly stands out from the crowd of...

OnePlus Nord 5 in for review

Today we have with us the new OnePlus Nord 5, which is the latest mainline entry in the company’s affordable series of smartphones. The phone is set to launch next week alongside the Nord CE5 and today we can share a sneak peek at the device with an unboxing. Starting with the packaging, the Nord 5 comes in a typical blue box that we have come to expect from Nord devices. Also typical for a Nord box is the fact that there is no mention of the exact model number on the front, which makes it look identical to other Nord boxes until you turn them around.

iPhone 17 Pro series to get repositioned Apple logo

Apple may be looking to change more than the camera islands on its iPhone 17 Pro series as leakster Majin Bu is now confident that the Apple logo on the back is getting repositioned. The logo on the 17 Pro series would be positioned lower, and Apple is apparently also changing the placement of its MagSafe charging coil, which will now go around the iconic bitten apple. This would be the first logo repositioning since the iPhone 11 series which ushered in the current logo position.
