And while the battery isn’t huge, the 13:20h active use score is better than many flagships get. Apple iPhone 15 £100/£100/£150 off Read our review 128GB - £700 at...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] In a recent poll, the Asus ROG Phone 8/8 Pro proved to be a potentially very popular model if it could clear one hurdle – the $1,100/€1,100 price was too high (it was even worse for the Pro, $1,200/€1,200/₹95,000).What if the ROG Phone 8 was cheaper? Wish granted – just not the way you may have thought. This week the company unveiled the Zenfone 11 Ultra, its first large Zenfone since 2021’s Zenfone 8 Flip. This means a larger display, larger battery and (incidentally) an additional camera (the first tele module since the Flip).The same 12/256GB configuration that costs €1,100 on...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] The Galaxy A55 is a solid mid-ranger, though it is on the pricey side. It’s too early for discounts, but Samsung does offer a launch promotion – a free storage upgrade. This means that the 256GB model costs the same as the 128GB one. Also, you get an €80 trade-in bonus over the value of the old phone that you send in. For example, a Galaxy A54 is valued at €200 (for a 128GB unit). With that and the bonus, the A55 256GB drops to €200. The older A53 (128GB) could fetch €170, while an A52 (128GB) would get you €140. Note that if the phone you’re trading in has 256GB storage instead, you can...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Maybe you’ve heard that with Android 14 you can no longer install old apps that were built for Lollipop. Soon Android 15 will arrive and will similarly block apps meant for Marshmallow. Let’s hold back the tears as we wave goodbye to one of the best Android versions in history and some of the best apps and games that will go in the great robotic baker in the sky. Android 6.0 Marshmallow was introduced nearly a decade ago on May 28 2015 at that year’s Google I/O. A beta was released the same day and the stable version arrived in September on Nexus phones and tablets first. In November it...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Asus had carved out a niche for its Zenfone series – small premium phones with relatively large batteries, 3.5mm headphone jacks and more customization options than you can shake a stick at. And now it has thrown it all away. Last week’s poll shows that 30% of those who cast their vote are waiting for a small Zenfone 11 (and we don’t even know if such a phone exists). Then a whopping 41% of voters think that the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra just isn’t all that good. Interest might pick up if the prices drop, but Asus phones rarely get serious discounts. Who is this phone for, anyway?...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Last week we looked at offers on unlocked Galaxy S24 flagships – the S24+ started at $850 and the S24 Ultra was $1,150. Those offers are still available, by the way, but they lacked the vanilla Galaxy S24. If you have your heart set on the smallest Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S24 starts at $750. Note that this is with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage (not 12/256GB like the other two). There’s no option for 12GB of RAM, but you could get 256GB storage for $810. But that’s just $50 less than a 12/256GB S24+. We found the same offer on Amazon and Best Buy, so pick the retailer you...
