So, this is going to be a weirdly motivated list, but hear me out. Finding 5 phones to really like in a year – in 2025 and in our line of work – is no trivial task. Take Ro, for example – he only made it to 4, as did Sagar, and Ivan has 3 […]

We’ll start off the week 2 roundup with a phone that feels like a blast from the past – the Clicks Communicator. It has a 4.03-inch display (an AMOLED, luckily), Android 16 with a custom Niagara Launcher, one camera on the back, oh, and a physical QWERT keyboard. The phone weighs 170g and supports swappable […]

Motorola unveiled a new premium line this week with the Signature phone and showcased its first book-style foldable, the Razr Fold. Alas, neither phone is available in the US (and in the case of the Fold, it might not be fully unveiled until the MWC). More competition is always good, so we just have to […]

Motorola has been pretty inconsistent with flagship releases – its Edge series had an Ultra model in some years but not in others. Now it introduces the Signature line to serve the premium market and the first model in it is quite interesting. The Motorola Signature is not an all out flagship, but it costs […]

We managed to snag a quick hands-on with the new Reno15 series during Oppo’s special global launch event. This is a quick look at the Indian Reno15 Pro, which will retail as the Reno15 Pro Max in some other regions. To avoid confusion, the Indian Reno15 Pro is a 6.78-inch phone, while the Indian Reno15 […]

Poco recently launched the M8 series and it is now available for purchase. Poco is selling the phones at a discount as part of an early bird offer, which lasts until January 14. Meanwhile, the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra, a bunch of Edge 60 series phones, and the Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 9a have […]

Oppo unveiled its Reno15 series to the global stage yesterday, and thanks to the miracle of international shipping, we’ve got the Reno15 Pro in the office and ready for testing! This is the international version, which means it’s a 6.32-inch model that corresponds to the Indian Reno15 Pro Mini. We have to say, the Reno15 […]

Qualcomm’s CEO Cristiano Amon made some comments about the company being in talks with Samsung to produce its 2nm chips, although Samsung has since declined to comment on the matter. Either way, this is an interesting turn of events given that Samsung’s foundry isn’t doing all that well. The last time Samsung produced Qualcomm-designed chips […]

Late last year, the renowned tipster Evan Blass revealed the potential Galaxy S26 Unpacked event date – February 25, 2026, which at the time seemed far-fetched given that the last two Galaxy S Unpacked events were in late January. Now, we have the market release date as well. One thing is for sure, though: this […]

The Poco F8 Ultra sits atop the Poco portfolio, offering solid all-around performance at a sub-flagship price. But ever wondered what’s inside, especially with the built-in subwoofer? Well, the guys at PBKreviews have done a complete teardown showing off the internals, and there are some interesting findings. Let’s start with repairability. Previous Poco F generations […]
