[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Last week we asked you what you thought of the Honor Magic7 series – now the results are in and they are not too surprising. Predictably, the Pro model came out on top, while the affordable but less capable Lite model didn’t get as much attention.The Honor Magic7 Pro proved quite popular in the polls, but it’s not perfect. Many commenters say that it’s not a large enough upgrade from the Magic6 Pro (and we reached the same conclusion in our review). The new telephoto camera failed to wow us and European models got a smaller battery for some reason. Still, the phone gets almost everything...

It set the tone for much of the smartphone market in the first half of 2025 and introduces Samsung's flagship for the year, the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Nothing is launching something on March 4, the company recently announced. Well, two somethings if we go by today's leaks: the Nothing Phone (3a) and Nothing Phone (3a) Pro. The Plus is gone after just one generation, it seems. The Nothing Phone (3a) is purportedly pictured below in a heavy-duty case that's meant to protect its design from prying eyes. It can't, however, hide the fact that this will be the first Nothing handset with three rear cameras. According to another rumor from yesterday, it has a 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] The vivo V50 is on its way to India, perhaps alongside the V50e, with an expected launch in February. Ahead of that, it's already been certified and photographed by the NCC earlier this month, and its design from those pictures seemed nigh-on identical to that of the S20 which launched in China in November. Today we have a leaked image of the V50 to look at courtesy of a tipster over on X. It shows the device in the Rose Red colorway, which is apparently inspired by Indian weddings. The V50 allegedly has a quad-curved display and will be the slimmest phone in its segment with a...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] On paper, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra display has not been upgraded compared to the S24 Ultra, save for the tougher Armor 2 glass, but that won’t affect image quality. And yet it seems that the display on the 2025 model is better after all since it fixes a weird issue with the S24 Ultra panel. If you recall (or maybe you have personally experienced), at very low brightness settings, the S24 Ultra display would appear grainy. That issue is no longer present on the Galaxy S25 Ultra display, as can be seen in this photo shared by Ice Universe: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (left) vs. S24...
