The new Motorola Edge 70 Fusion is slimmer, features a quad-curved 6.78" 144Hz display

The recent Motorola Edge 70 is focused on a super-slim build, but that comes at the expense of battery capacity – the phone is only 6.0mm thick, but its battery is only 4,800mAh. For comparison, the Edge 60 was a 7.9mm phone with a 5,200mAh battery. Now Motorola is launching the Moto Edge 70 Fusion. It slims down compared to its predecessor too, but without sacrificing the battery – it has the same 5,200mAh capacity as the Edge 60 Fusion, while reducing the thickness from 8.0mm to 7.2mm. The weight remains essentially the same at 177g. Motorola Edge 70 Fusion The new Fusion is...

Xiaomi Watch 5 unboxing

Xiaomi's latest Wear OS smartwatch is here, and it means serious business. Meet the Xiaomi Watch 5, a no-compromises smartwatch with a massive battery. Before we go through the numbers, let's do an unboxing. The Watch 5 ships with Xiaomi's typical two-pin magnetic charger. We're not fans of it. First, it ends on a USB-A connection, not a USB-C, which isn't ideal in early 2026. Second, the two-pin design means you need to fiddle when placing the watch down to charge. It'd be much easier if Xiaomi went with a universal magnetic design, like Samsung and OnePlus. Charger aside, the...

Xiaomi 17 Ultra goes global with 200MP 75-100mm camera, Xiaomi 17 joins it with a 6,330mAh battery

The Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra launched in China at the end of Q3 last year – so if you wrote them off as China-only phones that you can’t buy, it’s time to have a second look since they are now launching to new markets. There are no surprises on their spec sheets, other than the predictable decrease in battery capacity for the global models. Also, the 17 Pro isn’t part of the global rollout, but we’ll talk about it in a second. Xiaomi 17 Ultra The Xiaomi 17 Ultra brings serious camera hardware.
