Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 in for review
The Galaxy Z Fold7 has arrived at the office, and that means it's time to unbox it. There are no surprises here - you get a SIM tool and a USB-C cable. Samsung does give you the 512GB storage for the base price during the pre-order period, which is nice! The phone is available in Blue, Black, and Silver, and will ship from July 25. Samsung finally gave the cover screen a regular aspect of 21:9, and along with the much slimmer and lighter body the Galaxy Z Fold7 really feels like a regular phone when closed. It's something you need to experience in real life, so go to your local...

iPhone 17 Pro stars in new hands-on images
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, coming this September most likely, will bring with them a redesign of the rear, where there's going to be a massive camera island taking up the entire width of the device, Poco-style (in fairness, that's Poco from a while back, the Xiaomi sub-brand has since given up on such designs). Today a couple of new hands-on images have been leaked depicting what is probably an iPhone 17 Pro dummy unit. Regardless of the fact that there are no electronics inside, this should be 1:1 accurate size-wise and design-wise to the final product, so the images are...

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold pops up on Geekbench
Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 10 series smartphones on August 20, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which, like the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, is rumored to come with the Tensor G5 SoC under the hood. There's no word on this from Google, but the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has popped up on Geekbench with its key specs. The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has been listed on Geekbench with motherboard "rango" and an octa-core CPU. We are looking at a 2+5+1 configuration here, with two cores clocked at 2.25GHz, five cores clocked at 3.05GHz, and one core having a frequency of...

Prime Day deals: Samsung Galaxy Watches and tablets on sale, both old and new
Besides the new foldables, Samsung launched new smartwatches – a new vanilla model and a new Classic, plus it refreshed the Ultra with 64GB storage and a new color. Check out our hands-on for more details. These won’t be out in time for Prime Day, but last year’s models are still available – and some are deeply discounted. Samsung managed to slim down the Watch8, it’s 8.6mm thick compared to 9.7mm for the Galaxy Watch7. And the battery got a bit bigger – just a bit, 435mAh vs. 425mAh for the 44mm model and 325mAh/300mAh for the 40mm one. A more tangible upgrade is the brighter display,...

Samsung is building a dedicated production line for iPhone Fold OLED panels
The last report we saw for the foldable iPhone claimed it was already in its prototype testing phase with a tentative launch for September 2026. We now get additional supply chain info from ET News which claims Samsung Display is building a dedicated production line for foldable OLED panels at its A3 plant in Asan, South Chungcheong Province. Samsung is expected to be the exclusive display supplier for Apple’s foldable iPhone. Apple was reportedly impressed by Samsung’s nearly crease-less display tech, which will be used on the iPhone Fold’s 7.8” main display. According to the...

iPhone 17 Air colorways leak
The iPhone 17 Air is now rumored to come in four colorways: black, silver, light gold, and light blue. The light blue will be "very light" according to one leaker, barely blue at all and more white in a lot of lighting scenarios. The subtlety theme continues with the light gold version, which is muted and not at all an in-your-face shade of gold. It seems like the overarching theme of this device will be lightness and thinness, and Apple doesn't want its colors to get in the way of that. The iPhone 17 Air is now rumored to sport the A19 Pro chip, though a lesser version than the one...

Here's an official update on the Sony Xperia 1 VII problems
A few days ago, Sony stopped selling the Xperia 1 VII in Japan while it investigates some pretty serious issues - there have been reports of units randomly rebooting, randomly shutting down, and even refusing to turn on. Now Sony UK has an update on the matter. The company says it's still investigating the cause of all these issues, and working on a solution for those affected. In European markets, it's currently in the process of "identifying the extent of the affected stock, as this issue may only affect a select batch of Xperia 1 VII devices".

Google issues surprise Pixel Drop with Gemini for Wear OS
Google today announced a surprise Pixel Drop, previously known as a Pixel Feature Drop. These usually come every three months but we weren't expecting one until September. So that's why they call it a surprise. It brings a free year of the Google AI Pro subscription to owners of the Pixel 9 Pro (and presumably the Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold as well). This includes access to Veo 3, Google's AI video creating tool. Next up, Circle to Search gets AI Mode integration, letting you access AI Mode's "advanced reasoning" to "explore complex topics and dig into your initial searches...

Oppo K13 Turbo runs Geekbench with its built-in cooling fan
Oppo launched the K13 back in April, and at the end of that month we heard that it would be joined by the K13 Turbo, which has a pretty unique selling point - an integrated cooling fan, like a number of gaming-oriented phones out there. The K13 Turbo still isn't official, but it seems to be getting closer to that milestone, as it has today allegedly been spotted in the Geekbench database. As the previous rumor mentioned, it's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, paired in this specific prototype with a hefty 16GB of RAM. It will run Android 15 when it launches, despite...

Here are the best deals from Amazon Canada: smartphones, watches and headphones
Prime Day starts today and it encompasses so many products – strangely, many smartphone offers today aren’t part of Prime Day. Oh well, that means that you can skip activating a subscription – some of the offers below are the lowest prices that we’ve seen this year, Prime Day or not. Let’s start with the high-end segment.

Redmi 15C images leak just as it gets certified alongside its Poco twin
The Redmi 14C launched in August of last year, and the Xiaomi sub-brand is now seemingly hard at work on its aptly named successor, the Redmi 15C. This has been leaked today in some official-looking images, which you can see below. The source of the leak claims the phone will be offered in four colors: Moonlight Blue, Twilight Orange, Midnight Black, and a green version. It will have 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and, as you can see, it has a handwritten-like text on the back identifying the model. The Redmi 15C has also been certified by NBTC in Thailand with the model...

Amazon US offers big discounts on foldable phones for Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day is here and some of the biggest discounts are on some of the most expensive devices. In other words, let’s have a look at some foldables – they are typically the most expensive smartphones around, though for four days this week their prices will be easier to swallow. Starting with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, we have to make a note – Samsung’s big Galaxy Unpacked event is tomorrow and it will unveil the Z Fold7, which is supposed to be thin and light. And it is supposed to be more expensive (in terms of MSRP) than the Z Fold6. That means it will be a long while before we...

Here's how much Nothing's CMF Watch Pro 3 is rumored to cost
Nothing's more affordable sub-brand CMF is apparently readying a new smartwatch. This will be called CMF Watch Pro 3 and will obviously be the successor to the CMF Watch Pro 2, which made its debut last year. The CMF Watch Pro 3 is rumored to cost €99 in the Eurozone, as you can see in the screenshot below. The device will be offered in Dark Gray. This leaked price represents a €30 increase compared to the CMF Watch Pro 2, which isn't much in absolute terms, but percentage-wise, that's a 44% hike, so we're hoping this upcoming CMF Watch will also have some impressive hardware and...

Realme 15 Pro render leaks
Realme started teasing the 15 and 15 Pro at the end of June, and today a purported render depicting the latter has been leaked. Interestingly, it kind of looks more similar to the Realme 14 than the 14 Pro it's replacing, which had a circular camera island. Speaking of which, the 14 Pro arrived back in January and the 14 joined it in March. So it's intriguing to see Realme already teasing their successors, after such a short time. Of course, the launch of the 15 and 15 Pro is probably still a few weeks out at least. The source of today's render says this colorway could be called Flowing...

Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ unboxing and hands-on
We just received the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ and that means we get to do an unboxing. The Spark 40 Pro+ comes with the full package - you get a nice case with MagSafe-esque magnets for MagSafe and Qi2 chargers, a USB-A to USB-C cable, a SIM tool, and a 45W charger. A good haul, including a MagSafe-style ring for the wireless charging The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ is a departure from the established way of designing phones these days. It's not flat and squared off. It's curvy and rounded, with evenly sloping edges on both front and back panels, which thin out the side frame...

The Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is Samsung’s long-awaited Fan Edition folding phone and it's launching this week alongside the Z Flip7, Z Fold7 and Galaxy Watch 8 series at Samsung Unpacked.

Weekly poll: Nothing Phone (3), the good, the bad or the ugly?
After releasing the Nothing Phone (2) in 2023, Nothing took a year off from premium phones – but it promised a proper flagship for 2025. And, uh, here it is. The Nothing Phone (3) quickly became the talk of the town and not in a good way. Where should we start? The design is one of the more controversial aspects of the phone and it’s hard to ignore. Nothing has built a reputation for out-of-the-box designs and the brand’s style is instantly recognizable. However, this latest model – remember, it was two years in the making! – caused an avalanche of negative reactions. And that may not...

Deals: the Apple iPhone 16 and Google Pixel 9 series are on sale
You don’t see iPhone discounts often, but this week the entire 16 series is on sale – including the 16e. On the other side of the iOS/Android divide, the Pixels are on sale too. The Apple iPhone 16e serves as the “cheap” iPhone after the SE series was discontinued. We put it in quotes since it’s not that cheap – but having a €100 discount helps. You do lose quite a few features compared to the vanilla 16, though – here is a detailed iPhone 16e vs. iPhone 16 comparison. Apple iPhone 16e €100/€87/€80 off ...

Weekly poll results: the vivo X200 FE is a hit
The vivo X200 FE has a big presence for such a small phone – looking at the results from last week’s poll, this could be the best mini flagship out there. And yes, it’s a mini flagship, less than 5% of voters had issues with the size. Many still haven’t made up their minds and are waiting for a review (ours is coming soon). It doesn’t help that vivo hasn’t confirmed the global pricing yet. That said, the majority of voters are showing strong interest towards the FE. It will compete against the likes of the OnePlus 13s (but the X200 FE wins by default in Europe) and Xiaomi 15 (but...

Deals: Nothing Phone (3) has a discount from the get-go, plus some better looking alternatives
The hotly anticipated Nothing flagship is here – and everyone is talking about it. Unfortunately for Nothing, most of the discussion is about the price and the design and let’s just say that people aren’t heaping praise on the Phone (3). We can’t do anything about the design, but we can help with the price. The Nothing Phone (3), the 512GB model specifically, is already discounted by $100. You can think of this as a free storage upgrade. Note that the phone is still on pre-order and will only start shipping on July 15. The Phone (3) features a 6.67” 1260p+ 120Hz OLED display, not an...
