Motorola's wide Razr Flex hits Geekbench with a surprising chipset

Last month, Motorola's upcoming wide foldable smartphone finally got a leaked name - it will allegedly be called the Razr Flex. This has now been confirmed through a Geekbench listing. Apparently, someone in possession of a prototype Razr Flex decided to run Geekbench 6.7.1 on it, thus confirming the name (as much as such a run can, of course - things like this can be faked). The benchmark run also revealed that the Razr Flex is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC, which is notable because past rumors have claimed it would have the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 instead. Anyway, the chipset is...

Honor Watch 6 review

Welcome to our Honor Watch 6 review. I know, I know, we're a little late with this one. Okay, maybe a lot late, but in our defense, some of that tardiness comes from battery testing a watch with more than a month's worth of endurance .(or so Honor promised). That may be the Honor Watch 6's key selling point, and for good reason: charging your smartwatch once a month is about as close to having a regular watch as you can get. But I'm here to tell you that there's more to the Honor Watch 6 than simply its huge battery. It's what a watch needs to be. Note that I didn't say smartwatch...

Apple AirPods 5 review

How do you update the most popular audio product in the world? That's a question that would keep many companies awake at night. But almost a decade after the original launched, Apple has kept the classic AirPods model relevant while turning it into one of the most profitable businesses ever. The 2026 AirPods 5 keep what people love while improving everything across the board. Better noise cancellation, better audio quality, better battery life, and even better gestures. But there's a catch. Only the more expensive $149 model gets all the new features, whereas the cheaper $129...

What is variable aperture and why should you care?

The iPhone 18 Pro is the first iPhone model to feature a variable aperture, a headlining feature for this year's Pro models. An adjustable aperture has been an invaluable tool for photographers on professional and prosumer camera systems, and its absence from mobile cameras has become increasingly conspicuous as everything else on these devices has leveled up. There have been a handful of phones over the years that featured a variable aperture system for their main camera. However, the feature never stuck around long enough to enter the lexicon of the average smartphone user, as most...

OnePlus 16 is official with 9,000mAh battery, Week 42 in review

The OnePlus 16 is official, with a mammoth 9,000mAh battery. The power plant supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Elsewhere on the phone, there's the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 (still can't cope with this name), a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED display that can go up to 185Hz in select games, and a triple camera, consisting of a 200MP wide-angle, a 50MP 3x telephoto, and a 50MP ultrawide. The OnePlus 16 is available in China, and it's exclusive to China. Sadly, it isn't getting a global version. Still, that doesn't matter as much when you sell 70 thousand units in the first...
