Deals: OnePlus 15R now available, vivo X300 Pro paired with a free Imaging Grip

The prices of some newly-introduced models are falling pretty rapidly, but the newcomers have to contend with older models, which have also gotten quite cheap. The OnePlus 15R shows up as “coming soon” on Amazon, though it should switch to “available” soon. This year’s R-model brings a massive battery – 7,400mAh vs. 6,000mAh on the 13R – along with improved water resistance (IP68/IP69K vs. IP65). It also features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (non-Elite), up from the two-year-old Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. There have been some downgrades, however. First, the telephoto camera is gone, while the main...

The Samsung Galaxy S26+ reportedly missed out on a display upgrade

Samsung made the decision to cancel the Galaxy S26 Edge pretty late in the development process and it replaced it with the Galaxy S26+. However, since work on the S26+ started late, the company is now scrambling to get it done. Insiders speaking to Korean publication The Elec have revealed some last-minute changes. Apparently, Samsung was initially planning on taking the new display panel that it had developed for the S26 Edge and using it on the Plus model. Then it decided against that, which left it with no time for a replacement part, so the S26+ will use an almost identical panel to...

Honor Magic8 Pro Air runs Geekbench confirming its chipset

Honor is launching the Magic8 Pro Air on January 19, and ahead of that a prototype now seems to have run Geekbench 6.5. As always, this has resulted in the device being listed in the benchmark's online database. The phone has the model number LDY-AN00. It managed a single-core score of 2,969 and a multi-core score of 9,892, though as usual we have to caution you against taking such results from prototypes too seriously. The handset runs Android 16, and it's powered by the Dimensity 9500 SoC paired with 16GB of RAM (though of course more memory options could be offered). Honor has...
