Samsung Galaxy A16 5G in for review

The freshly announced Samsung Galaxy A16 5G has landed at our HQ for review, but before we put it through its paces, let's do a quick unboxing and see what's on offer. The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G comes in a white-colored retail box, including some paperwork, a SIM ejector tool, and a charging cable. We've got the blue model, but there are three more colors you can opt for. On the front, we have a 6.7" FullHD+ 90Hz AMOLED screen with a notch for the 13MP selfie camera.

Poco C75 leaked images show some glitzy color versions

A while back the Poco C75 was certified by the FCC on its way to launch, and today we have our first ever leaked renders to look at. These show the device in all three colors in which it will be offered, and while the black one is reasonably subdued, the other two are all glitzy and glamorous - or at least they're trying to be. As you can see, the phone will come in black, gold, and green. It will allegedly be powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB of storage, and will have a 6.88-inch HD+ LCD touchscreen with 120 Hz refresh...

Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G is on the way, key specs outed

Xiaomi already announced the 5G-capable Redmi Note 14 Pro, but now it looks like there will be a 4G-only model as well. This has been certified by the FCC under the model number 24116RACCG - that "G" at the end stands for "global". This model will apparently come with a 6.67-inch 1080x2400 pOLED screen, it will have 8/12GB of RAM, 128/256/512GB of storage, and a 5,500 mAh battery. It will run Android 14 with HyperOS 1.0 on top. At the helm should be a MediaTek chipset, but unfortunately we don't know which one. For reference, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G uses the Helio G99 Ultra, so...

vivo X200 Pro mini hands-on review

Today, vivo unveiled its X200 series with the X200, the X200 Pro, and the X200 Pro mini. Undoubtedly, the mini is the most impressive of the bunch. Here, mini means smaller, not inferior. The X200 Pro mini has the same display technology, almost the same cameras, and the same new chipset, only in a more compact, and different-looking package. So what's different? The biggest visual difference is the frosted glass back of the X200 Pro mini. The X200 Pro has a glossy finish. Vivo made a few leaps with the X200 series over the X100. The first is in design - the new phones are...

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra to have a 200MP 4.3x periscope camera

A couple of months ago, Ice Universe reported that the upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra will have a 200MP telephoto camera. Now, fellow Weibo tipsters are providing more details on that camera, which will be exclusive to the Ultra – the vanilla and Pro models will have to settle for 50MP 3x cameras, based on what we’ve heard so far. The Ultra camera will have a 100mm lens, which works out to around 4.3x magnification. The lens will have an f/2.6 aperture. For comparison, the 14 Ultra had a 50MP 120mm periscope (5x) with an f/2.5 lens. Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s 50MP 120mm periscope Note that the...
