We've been tentatively calling this the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, but today a new rumor out of China claims that might not be its name at all.Instead, Qualcomm could opt for the initially much more confusing Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. There are two reasons for this, if it does pan out. First, while "Gen 5" sounds weird since the 8 Elite only came out last year, that chip was actually the successor to the 8 Gen 3 (so it's "Gen 4" despite not being called...

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/25/09/deals-5/-184x111/gsmarena_de.jpg Samsung announced the Galaxy S25 FE this week, a more affordable variant of its flagship S-series. Also new this week are flagship tablets, the Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra. Let’s have a look at what kind of offers are available.There’s no pre-order for the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, the phone went on sale immediately. You still get a perk for getting in early, though, a free storage upgrade (i.e. 256GB for the price of 128GB).Offers for last year’s Galaxy S24 FE have dried up – we will revisit that in the coming weeks, maybe offers will return if there is enough stock.

The Galaxy S25+ is smaller, though, despite having the same 6.7" screen. Well, the same size - the Plus actually has a 1440p+ panel and not 1080p+ like the two FEs.

These are tiered into three different price points, so Xiaomi probably thought that they could co-exist on the market. However, the results for the trio are “yes”, “maybe” and “no”.The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ is the clear favorite of the group – it’s the first pick for a third of voters, which can go up to half of voters if the phone reviews well. The addition of a 50MP 2.5x telephoto camera proved to be a winning move.The Redmi Note 15 Pro also has potential – the preference...

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/25/10/charger-deals/-184x111/gsmarena_uk.jpg Back in our day, phones used to come with chargers – now you’re lucky if you get a cable. The good news is that USB-C and USB charging standards have done away with the compatibility issue of the past (well, mostly), so a few good chargers are all you need. That means that you have to pick the chargers yourself, though. Here are the ones we use. And yes, you do need multiple – for your home, maybe for work and your car, maybe for travel. We have separated them into groups based on use-case. Table of Contents: Wall chargers Laptop chargers Car chargers Wall...

It might be just a matter of time before all we have are huge phones, but for now let's enjoy compact phones while there are still some around. This is the vivo X300, and it may just be a member of an even more exclusive group - the compact flagships that are actually available outside China.

Let's see the numbers.The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max puts its massive 7,500mAh battery to good use, scoring more than 4 hours of active use over the Xiaomi 15T Pro (which, granted, has 2,000mAh less battery). You need to look at the likes of the Oppo Find X9 Pro to find a better Active Use Score. Still, the Xiaomi is better in some individual tests - it has 12 hours more in the call test, and a few minutes more in the video playback test.The 29 hours dead the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max was...

At one time it was even rumored to arrive before the end of this year, but the source of these shots now says it will be early next year instead.That still means it will land earlier in the year than its predecessor did, back in March.

They are Coffee, Purple, and Burgundy. They are portrayed in the speculative image below.If this pans out, it means Apple isn't going to switch course.
