Top 10 trending phones of week 20

The Galaxy S22 Ultra also gained a spot to claim second as the Redmi Note 11 returned to the final podium spot.

Behind it are the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max and the third Samsung smartphone on the chart - Galaxy A73. Oppo's Reno8 Pro+ is just around the corner and it's already getting people talking enough to be the seventh most popular phone in our...

Huawei MateStation X review

Introduction PCs and monitors have enjoyed a resurgence in the past couple of years, thanks to people having to work from home. So it made sense that all-in-ones would also enjoy more attention. More and more manufacturers are giving the form factor attention - computers that package a display, keyboard, and mouse and simplify your life while doing it. A few companies have enjoyed great success in the all-in-one market. Popular models include the Pavilion 24 from HP, and the 24-inch M1-powered iMac from Apple, while Lenovo and Microsoft have upmarket options in the Surface Studio 2, and...

Weekly poll: does the Huawei Mate Xs 2 have a future in your pocket?

Pretty early on it was clear that when it comes to foldables, keeping the screen inside is preferable to leaving it out in the open. That was more by necessity, though, the early foldable screens were too fragile to leave them with no protection. Outward folding designs like the Huawei Mate Xs 2 have many advantages, however, and this is the second generation of the design (after 2020's Mate Xs). Has the company finally cracked the durability issues? Unfortunately, this is a question that can only be answered in time - some foldable phones develop issues after months of use. But what we...

Poco Watch review

Introduction Poco has been in the smartphone game for a few years and has now set its eyes on building a larger ecosystem of products. We already reviewed the company’s first pair of wireless earbuds and now we turn out attention to the Poco Watch. A compact, lightweight device more akin to a smart band than an actual smartwatch, Poco Watch brings the usual mix of health tracking, dual-band GPS and an AMOLED display. That’s all topped with claims of up to two weeks of battery life and a €79 pricetag. How good is Poco’s first smartwatch and where does it stack up in the sea of...

Weekly poll results: the Sony Xperia 1 IV and 10 IV are great, if you can afford them

This is the blight of the Sony fan – last week’s poll shows that 3 in 4 people want to buy the new flagship, the Xperia 1 IV, but only 1 in 4 actually have the money for it. The rest wish it was cheaper, but that might take a while. The Mark 3 started at €1,300 a year ago. Today, you can find one for around €900 with some shopping around. But the Mark 4 starts at €1,400, so if it falls the same amount, it will still be a €1,000 phone a year from now. Ouch. With rising inflation and an uncertain economy not everyone has Xperia 1 money to spend. Few people found faults in the hardware,...
