Deals: Galaxy Z Flip7 price hits new low, Pixel 10 series is €100+ off, Realme GT 7 also discounted

If you buy a flagship on launch day, you get perks like more memory or freebies, but if you wait, you get discounts instead. And you don’t necessarily need a flagship either, not when premium mid-rangers are this good. Let’s look at both options. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 price has hit a new low – it’s now under €800. This puts it between the vanilla Galaxy S25 and the S25+. The flip foldable offers a new form factor experience, unlike the S-phones, which haven’t changed much in the last few years. The Z Flip7 has a 4.1” cover and a 6.9” inner display plus a 50+12MP dual camera on the...

Ayaneo is teasing "a mobile phone truly made for gamers"

Ayaneo is branching out from handheld consoles and mini PCs into the very crowded realm of smartphones. And, of course, it's aiming its smartphone adventure at gamers. The company has started teasing its first handset, which it bills as "a mobile phone truly made for gamers". In the quick video teaser below, we can see the outline of its rear, which appears to house two camera sensors that are flush with the back cover, without any protrusions, RedMagic-style. Aside from that, there's not really much to go on here. "Real gamers know gamers", Ayaneo says, and that's surely true but...

Today in China some fresh details about the upcoming device have been outed.

iPhone 18 Pro colors leak and they're wild

The iPhone 17 Pro launched last month in Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Deep Blue. If you don't like these colors and want something else, all you need to do is wait a year, apparently. Today in China the purported colorways in which the iPhone 18 Pro will be offered in September 2026 have been leaked. They are Coffee, Purple, and Burgundy. They are portrayed in the speculative image below. If this pans out, it means Apple isn't going to switch course. It will still not offer a black or white option. That's a bold strategy for sure, but clearly the company thinks it's the right...

US and China reach tariff agreement

Tariffs have been a major topic in the tech world this year, with the ongoing US-China trade war, but it seems we’ve reached a turning point. President Trump came to an agreement with Xi Jinping to reduce tariffs on Chinese goods from 57% to 47%. In addition, China is suspending its restrictions on US rare-earth mineral imports for one year. This latest development is a breath of fresh air as the Trump administration’s tariffs on Chinese goods reached 145 % at their peak earlier this year. This is certainly good news for Apple, which was one of the companies that suffered the most from...

Check out the Realme GT8 Pro benchmark scores

Last month, we used a Realme GT8 Pro prototype to run early benchmarks of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The phone was officially unveiled last week and is preparing to launch globally next month, so we are ready to do some proper benchmarking. Even better, in the meantime we have reviewed several competing flagships, so we can have a better look at the key chipsets for the next twelve months. There are those that run on the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 like the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. Others picked the Dimensity 9500, e.g. the vivo X300 Pro. And there’s the Apple A19 Pro inside the iPhone 17...
