Huawei Watch GT 3 in for review

The Huawei Watch GT 3, a successor to one of the best smartwatches on the market Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro is with us. It has just arrived in Black and we want to share our first impressions before getting on with the lengthy testing period. The difference between Watch GT 3 and Watch 3/3 Pro is the former is for users who are more into an active lifestyle, while the 3 series is for those who need standalone LTE and slightly more luxurious appearance from their wearable. This is not to say the Watch GT 3 doesn't look like an elegant piece of smart device - even if we have the 46mm...

Week 49 in review: Oppo Find N coming, iPhone production stops due to shortages

Oppo's first foldable phone will be the Find N and it surfaced this week through a number of leaks and official promos. It's coming on December 15 with a Snapdragon 888, 12GB of RAM, and Android 11. It will be smaller than the Galaxy Z Fold3 and reportedly will have barely noticeable crease. The chip shortage crisis has reportedly forced Apple to stop iPhone production for several days, for the first time in more than 10 years.

Flashback: Poco F1, the birth of a value-for-money legend

We don’t know if the execs at Qualcomm and Xiaomi were friends in high school or what, but the two companies enjoy a close working relationship. Sometimes this leads to sweet deals for Xiaomi – for example, the Mi 11 was the first Snapdragon 888 phone. But perhaps the biggest score that Xiaomi achieved thanks to its cosy relationship with the chipset maker is securing a supply of Snapdragon 845 chips for the Poco F1 – a phone that cost a ridiculously low ₹21,000 ($300 at the time) of its launch in late August 2018. The European launch came with a €330 price tag (with a €30 coupon as a...

Weekly poll: can the Moto Edge X30 and S30 talk you into picking them over other high-end models?

The first phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is official and it is a Motorola this time – the Motorola Edge X30, specifically. A brief look at the specs and the aggressive pricing suggests that this can be the benchmark for 2022 flagships. To be clear, the X30 doesn’t have everything, but in China it starts at CNY 3,200. Looking at other options in the country, this costs less than a OnePlus 9, a Xiaomi Mi 11 and is well below a Galaxy S21. Naturally, if and when the phone is rolled out to the global market its price will change, but a direct conversion puts it at...

As per leaked renders, it will be rectangular with two navigation buttons on the right side. Keep in mind, though, that this date is for the Chinese announcement, so the devices will arrive later in international...
