The Signature 27 will be Motorola’s first smartphone with Bang & Olufsen audio

Motorola saw what Poco (and, before it, Redmi in China) did with Bose, and thought it wanted some of that co-branded audio action too. But it also stepped it up - all the way up to Bang & Olufsen's level. Motorola has entered into a multi-year partnership with the audio company, and as its teaser from yesterday showed us, the first smartphone to come with a B&O badge will be the Signature 27, which is expected to become official in just a few hours. Exceptional design. Exceptional sound.Motorola and @BangOlufsen are proud to announce a new global partnership, bringing Audio by Bang &...

vivo V80 runs Geekbench just as a new teaser video gets released

Last week, the upcoming vivo V80 had its battery capacity leaked, and then vivo started officially teasing it. So it's definitely coming soon. Now it's allegedly been spotted in the Geekbench online database with the model number V2648. The benchmark run reveals the fact that the V80 is powered by the same Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset as its predecessor. In the prototype that ran the benchmark, this was paired with 8GB of RAM, but perhaps there will be other memory options as well. The V80 will run Android 17 out of the box, with the newly announced OriginOS 7 on top. As you can see...

Here are the display sizes and resolutions for next year’s Pro iPhones

Apple just released the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max on Friday, and today we already have a new rumor about their successors. These are tentatively being called iPhone 20 Pro and iPhone 20 Pro Max, since next year is the 20th anniversary of the original iPhone - which is why Apple is expected to skip the number 19.

Motorola heard you like cameras so it put a lot of them on the Signature 27

Tomorrow during Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit, Motorola is going to showcase the Signature 27, its next flagship smartphone. Ahead of that, today the company has shown us the phone's camera island, and it's... well, take a look for yourself. Clearly the company wants to make a statement here about this phone's camera prowess. Or maybe it's a Yo Dawg joke. Or, as the saying goes, why not both? Anyway, jokes aside, the company has also announced a partnership with Bang & Olufsen. Exceptional design. Exceptional sound.Motorola and @BangOlufsen are proud to announce a new global...

Will the iPhone 18 Pro bend?

Since the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max became available on Friday, we've seen not one but two video teardowns, but wait - there's more! Zack from the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel has also got his hands on the new devices, and proceeded to subject them to his usual "durability test". [#InlinePriceWidget,14934,1#] [#InlinePriceWidget,14716,1#] This starts with scratching the display glass as usual, which is, at least in terms of testing with Mohs picks, the best glass out there - it scratches at level 7 and shows deeper grooves at level 8 (all other glasses scratch at...

Here’s an up-close look at the iPhone 18 Pro series variable aperture

The iPhone 18 Pro series brings the first variable aperture camera on an Apple device, and that’s been one of the main talking points for the new devices. The team over at iFixit have now posted their signature teardown of the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, which goes over all of the new components and devotes plenty of detail on the new variable aperture system. You can skip to the 7:25 mark in the video where the host begins poking away at the camera. The system is driven by its own magnets, and the six “leaf-shaped” blades that make up the aperture are extremely small. camera...

Deals: iPhone 18 Pro series goes on sale, Galaxy Z8 foldables get discounts

The iPhone 18 Pro series is now officially on sale in the UK.

Meanwhile, Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z8 foldables and Galaxy S26 lineup, along with a couple of Xiaomi flagships, are also on sale. The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max are available in new color options and come with an upgraded main rear camera with a variable aperture. The new phones are also powered by the 2nm A20 chipset. ...

Weekly poll results: the iPhone Duo nailed the form factor, iPhone 18 Pro Max upstages the 18 Pro

Apple nailed it on its first try – no, Cupertino didn’t invent the wide foldable form factor, but the results from last week’s poll show that it was the best choice compared to releasing a book-style or a flip foldable. Just look at how small the yellow and orange segments are (they correspond to exactly those choices in the poll). Spec highlights: iPhone Duo • iPhone 18 Pro (Max) And yes, the $2,000 iPhone Duo is expensive – did anyone think that Apple would be the company to make foldables cheap? Of course not, but this price tag significantly limits the pool of potential...

Deals: iPhone 18 Pros launch, refurbished iPhone 17 Pros are expensive, Galaxy Z8 foldables discounted

The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max went on sale this week in the US, along with 64 other countries in the first wave. If you have your eyes set on an iPhone Duo, you will have to wait for over a month more to get it. As for the new Pro models, here is a reminder of their prices – they cost $100 more than the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max did last year. As is tradition, Apple stopped selling the old Pros when the new ones were unveiled – only non-Pro models last more than a year on Apple.com. But that doesn’t stop third-party retailers from selling older Pros as you’ll see below. ...

First iPhone 18 Pro teardown video is here

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max have been released today, and there's already a teardown video of the former available on YouTube. Undoubtedly, many more will follow, but if you've been very anxiously waiting to take a peek inside the new iPhone 18 Pro, here's your first chance to do so below (beware the AI voice though). The teardown starts with the pentalobe screws on the bottom, then heat, a suction cup, and alcohol are used to remove the display.

Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max in for review

The iPhone 18 Pro Max could very well have been called the 17S Pro Max. It brings a chip update, some minor tweaks to the camera and new colors. Back in the day that basically amounted to an S-series update but Apple insists on a whole number update and in the midst of the global memory chip shortage is asking $100/€150/£100 more than last year's 17 Pro Max. There’s not much to talk about in terms of the unboxing experience. You still get a USB-C cable, which is … nice. At this point we’re not sure how many future iPhones will launch with bundled accessories, so a cable is better than...

Yesterday, the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Pro was seemingly spotted in the Geekbench online database, and today it's the turn of its bigger sibling, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, to surface in the same place.
