Top 10 trending phones of week 21

Much like last week it is newly announced phones that dominate our trending chart. The champion is Xiaomi's new 15S Pro, powered by the company's own Xring O1 chipset as second place went to the Infinix GT 30 Pro - a mid-range offering that aims to set a new value-for-money benchmark. In third we have last week's champion - the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, followed by its sibling and long-time favorite Galaxy A56. [#InlinePriceWidget, 13506, 1#] Another new face is fifth - the Honor 400 Pro mostly made headlines by pioneering the Image to Video feature, but it has a lot more going...

Weekly poll results: the Galaxy S25 Edge needed a bigger battery, lower price to be successful

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge could be the herald of a new trend in high-end smartphones – a focus on a thin and light design. However, last week’s poll clearly shows that there are several key issues that need to be addressed before this trend gets off the ground and the S25 Edge isn’t the model that can see it done. The first issue is one that can be corrected – at $1,100/€1,250/₹110,000 it’s just too expensive. We don’t doubt that there will be discounts and deals down the line, but how low will it go? Low enough to convince nearly 23% of voters to reconsider? That remains to be...

Samsung Galaxy Buds Core battery capacity leaks

Samsung is reportedly looking to replace its entry-level TWS buds this year. The new device is called the Galaxy Buds Core and replaces the Buds FE that came out in 2023.

The new Buds Core recently showed up on a bunch of Samsung support websites so we now know their model number will be SM-R410.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 allegedly spotted in the wild

As a quick refresher, Samsung is expected to launch a total of three foldables in early July: the Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 FE. Reportedly, mass production of the devices is well underway, so it comes as no surprise that product spy shots are starting to surface online.

One UI 8 beta program could be announced soon

Samsung is yet to complete the Android 15-based One UI 7 stable update's rollout, which hasn't been without its issues, but we could see the Korean brand announce the One UI 8 beta program soon. Last week, Samsung said the Android 16-based One UI 8 will arrive "this summer," and now, it has displayed a One UI 8 beta program banner in the Samsung Members app, telling users that they will be able to sign up for the One UI 8 beta program by tapping on this banner once the program is live. Samsung Members app users received this notification in multiple countries, including South Korea,...
