https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/25/11/xiaomi-open-wear-stereo-pro-review/-184x111/gsmarena_013.jpg The open wearable stereo (OWS) market gained serious traction over the last two years, and just about every brand has its own entry now. While traditional earbuds come with the tried and tested plug form factor, which sits inside your ear, the OWS models position their drivers right at the tip of your ear canal. The result is raised awareness of your surroundings at the cost of subpar passive isolation.OpenWear Stereo Pro is the latest offering from Xiaomi, and it aims to one-up its competitors by offering a more premium build while still retaining its open-fit system.

It misses the 10.8MP 5x/112mm periscope, though, that’s new for 2025. It also has a slightly smaller battery, 4,700mAh vs. 4,970mAh.

The Steam Machine as a concept has existed for a decade through various devices made by other brands but this is the first time Valve is making one. It's a compact, cuboid device that is essentially a Steam Deck meant for the living room TV. The Steam Machine runs on a semi-custom AMD chip with a 6-core/12-thread CPU based on the Zen4...

The Flip8 will allegedly be at least 10% thinner and lighter than its predecessor. That would make it at most 6mm thin when opened, 12mm thick when closed, and around 170g in weight. This is going to be key to Samsung achieving 10% better sales for the Flip8 and Fold8 compared to the Flip7 and Fold7.

But we got the rare opportunity to take it for an early spin, so we traveled east straight to the source. The camera system itself has been tweaked slightly, but it isn't overhauled. The main camera is still a 50MP 1/1.3-inch sensor, but its lens is a fixed f/1.6 and no longer an f/1.4-2.0 unit. We can live with that - variable aperture systems in wide-angle phone cameras are more of a gimmick than anything. The lens is also now slightly wider at 23mm compared to 24mm on last year's model.

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/25/12/iphone-fold-cad-based-render-sketches-dimensions/-184x111/gsmarena_000.jpg The iPhone Fold is finally portrayed in the first CAD-based render, which you can see below. This was outed along with CAD drawings intended for case and other accessory makers, which reveal the device's very unusual dimensions. As previously rumored, Apple wanted to ensure that the inner screen isn't a square, and when you unfold the phone you will be in landscape mode. This might ensure compatibility with iPad apps from day one without the need for developers to make any modifications - this is just us speculating, but that would make sense.

The iPhone Fold, which is what we’re calling it for now, is reportedly behind schedule, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Kuo said in a research note that Apple’s foldable iPhone is expected to face early-stage yield issues along with other manufacturing challenges ahead of mass production. While Apple remains on track to announce the iPhone Fold in the second half of 2026, Kuo cautions that smooth shipments may not begin until...

Just about every brand released a pair, and we’re now ready to give you a tour and our first impressions of the recently announced Realme Buds Clip. But why did these type of buds go mainstream? It mostly comes down to how they fit. The way earbuds fit your ears is arguably the most important factor to consider when picking out a new pair. While traditional buds go with the tried and tested silicone eartip approach, our ears come with their own unique shape, and there’s no way to manufacture a one-size-fits-all. Plenty of...

From there on, your votes determined custom ROMs as the third best option. We’re surprised by this development as the custom ROM sphere has generally been on the decline in the last few years.

The Galaxy S25 series outsold previous generations of S phones and Samsung’s foldables are more popular than ever. However, there’s trouble brewing underneath the success. As popular as the S25 phones were, they felt like they were in a holding pattern with minor upgrades. And the big experiment this year, the S25 Edge, failed. As for foldables, the Z Flip7 and Z Fold7 brought much-needed upgrades to the Z series. And look at the Galaxy Z TriFold – that’s certainly a head-turner even if it’s more of a commercially available tech...

Hence, the brand is now teasing an upcoming smartphone that also has a display on the back, integrated into a big camera island.This being Lava, we expect the phone to be a mid-ranger, which explains the much smaller screen compared to Xiaomi's flagships. We can also see two rear cameras, of which the main one has 50MP resolution according to the inscription.No other details are known about the device yet, only that it's coming soon.

This is obviously coming soon, since it's been added to this list, and like all of the M-series devices, it's a rebranded A-series model. But which exact one may surprise you.It is in fact a rebranded A07 5G. Even the model number sort of confirms this, as it's SM-M076B. The codename adds further proof: "a07x".Nothing else is known about the M17e at the moment, but the Galaxy A07 5G is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 6300 SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM, so we wouldn't be at all...

One of the brands mentioned in the report was Xiaomi, and we now have a look at a prototype Xiaomi 17 Air, which was supposed to go head-to-head with the iPhone Air.

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/26/01/top-5-2025-george/-184x111/gsmarena_000.jpg 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 different but, let's face it, really same-ish foldables on his 'Top 5' list. So, in a way, I've assembled a 'Top 5' that's not entirely mine - there's one real personal pick, a couple of crowdsourced ones, and two more that are on here because of... tradition.

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 arm ourselves with patience. We don’t know the US price of the Signature yet, but we do know that it will cost €1,000 in Europe – the same price as the OnePlus 15. Speaking of which, here’s the OnePlus 15 at its full retail price though paired with a $100 gift card to soften the blow. ...

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/26/01/weekly-poll-motorola-signature/-184x111/gsmarena_000.jpg 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 a good deal less than those – you can pick up a 12/512GB unit for £900/€1,000 in Europe. Something like the vivo X300 Pro will run you €400 more, even the OnePlus 15 costs €1,000. Motorola Signature The Signature is a fairly slim and light device, measuring 7.0mm and...
