Realme is bringing the GT 7 and GT 7T to international markets on May 27 (that "7" is probably not a coincidence, by the way). Today, ahead of that, specs for both devices have been leaked. Just as Realme already revealed, the international GT 7 will be powered by the newly unveiled MediaTek Dimensity 9400e SoC, which is basically a refreshed Dimensity 9300+. The Chinese model got the 9400+, for what it's worth. Anyway, let's continue. The GT 7 has a 6.78-inch "1.5K" LTPS AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, 6,000-nit peak brightness, and Corning's Gorilla Glass 7i on top, and a...

This is the vivo X200 Ultra and it's finally at the office and ready for review. It may be the best phone you wouldn't be able to get out of China, and that's a calamity of enormous proportions! This phone has an ultrawide with the same size sensor as the iPhone 16 Pro Max' main camera, a 35mm main camera (with that same sensor), and an 85mm f/2.3 zoom camera with the same size sensor as the OnePlus 13's main camera! And if that's not bonkers enough, vivo sells an attachable lens that converts that 85mm zoom into a 200mm one! The vivo X200 Ultra comes in Black, Silver, or this...

Today, Oppo unveiled two rugged mid-rangers that are designed to film 4K 60fps video out in the wild. Both have big batteries and are built for sustained performance, be it video recording or gaming. The Oppo Reno14 Pro is the larger and more capable of the two, but differences between it and the vanilla model aren’t that big. The Pro is powered by the Dimensity 8450, which is so new that it isn’t even on MediaTek’s site yet, so we don’t know CPU or GPU details yet. Oppo Reno14 Pro The Pro has four 50MP cameras, three of which are on the back – main (f/1.8, OIS), ultra-wide...

This week, Sony and Samsung unveiled their anticipated premium phones - the Xperia 1 VII and the Galaxy S25 Edge.The Xperia 1 VII is very much a refinement of a familiar formula Sony obviously likes - it has a 6.5-inch display, a triple camera on the back, and a 5,000mAh battery built-in. It also still has a 3.5mm audio jack (a high-end one) and a microSD slot. The Xperia 1 VII will ship in June, price is £1,399/€1,499.The Galaxy S25 Edge is 5.8mm thin, weighs 163g, yet has a 6.7-inch QHD+ display. The catch?

A decade ago, Samsung released the Galaxy Alpha – a slim and light (6.7mm, 115g) premium phone that promised to shake up the status quo in high-end smartphone design. The success of that is questionable as the Galaxy S6 that followed was met with criticism that was addressed with the S7.But we’re here again – the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge asks “what if flagship phones were thinner and lighter?” Despite having the same height and width as the S25+, the Edge is slimmer (5.8mm vs. 7.3mm) and lighter (163g vs. 190g). In the process of slimming down, the Edge lost 1,000mAh battery capacity,...

Last week’s poll hit on an issue that isn’t unexpected for a new brand, but it still limits the phone’s reach – many in the comments reported that the CMF Phone 2 Pro is not available in their region. And that is certainly an issue when the Poco X7/X7 Pro and Galaxy A26/A36 are available in those regions.But even in places where the CMF phone and its Xiaomi and Samsung rivals overlap, it’s not an easy choice. One in three voters is looking at other models, pointing out issues with the Phone 2 Pro – no OIS on the main camera, short software support window, limited ingress protection and...

A new leak coming straight from Apple's supply chain has confirmed the upcoming iPhone 17 Air's 5.5mm thickness and reveals the battery capacity, which almost sounds like a crime in 2025.According to the rumor, the Air will feature a 2,800 mAh battery, which is far less than the 3,900 mAh unit in the similarly-sized Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. However, there's a possibility that Apple might use high-density battery tech to increase the capacity by 15-20%.Additionally, the leak gives away the weight too - 145 grams. That's also less than the Galaxy S25 Edge, despite the bigger...

A recent report based on a leaked source code suggests that Google is preparing a desktop mode feature similar to Samsung's DeX and Motorola's Smart Connect big-screen interface. Actually, the first traces of a desktop mode were found back in 2023, but it appears that Google is getting close to releasing the feature.Reportedly, the UI needs more polishing, and it's unlikely to arrive with Android 16. We will most likely see it launch with Android 17 on the next-generation Pixels.The feature is labeled as "Android Desktop Mode" and offers several cool features such as multitasking...
