Today, Xiaomi unleashed the 13T series and we have both new phones in for review. We unboxed the Pro, now it's time to unpack the Xiaomi 13T. Looking inside the retail box reveals one of the differences between the 13T and the Pro - the latter ships with a 120W charger, while the 13T gets a 67W brick to match its highest supported speed. It's nothing to scoff at, the 67W charger will bring the 13T's 5,000mAh battery from zero to 100% in 42 minutes We have the Black Xiaomi 13T with a shiny glass back. It's slippery and reflective and it immediately catches every dust particle...

Xiaomi 13T Pro in for review
The Xiaomi 13T Pro is here and it's a big improvement on its predecessor in every way that matters. Upfront is a 144Hz-ready 6.67-inch AMOLED with a 2,600 nits peak brightness. Inside is a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ chip with an Arm Immortalis-G715 GPU and 12GB or 16GB of RAM. The 13T Pro ups the protection against elements from the barely counting IP53 of its predecessor to the actually formidable IP68. The cameras are also better. The main unit scales down from 200MP to 50MP, but you get bigger binned pixels at 2.44µm, and even the ability to capture 10-bit LOG video with LUT...

iPhone 15 Pro Max teardown on iFixit reveals more of the same
The iPhone 15 series received iFixit’s official teardown treatment and the results are a mixed bag. The 15 Pro models finally received the updated internal design where you can now directly remove the back glass without removing the display first. The internal components on the Pro models are still hidden behind the screen instead of the back glass like on the vanilla iPhone 15 and the 15 Plus. The big change with the 15 Pro models is that the back glass is now removable so cracked back repairs should will be faster and easier. iPhone 15 Pro Max There is one major caveat though as...

CMF Buds Pro review
The Buds Pro are the first of the three products being launched under the CMF brand by Nothing. These are entry-level, affordable products, which Nothing wants to delineate from its main brand and its more premium offerings. The CMF Buds Pro are relatively basic earbuds with one major feature; you get active noise cancellation, which is rapidly becoming a must-have even in the entry-level segment. We see a lot of subpar implementations in this price range so it will be interesting to see how well it works on the CMF Buds Pro and how they perform in general. Unboxing Usually,...

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE price leaks
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S23 FE has been leaking extensively in recent weeks, so much so that it pretty much seems like not one day can go by without a new one. Today, it's one of the most important details that got outed, and that's the phone's price. We're talking about its price in the US, which probably won't directly translate well into how much Samsung will ask for it in other places. For the US, today's rumor has the recommended retail price at $599. That should transform into at least €699 in the EU, if not more - for comparison's sake, the S23 is $749 in the US but €949 in the...

Experiment: Apple iPhone 15 Pro's 28mm and 35mm modes are just digital crops
Apple dedicated a few moments from its nearly 1-hour iPhone 15 presentation to the new Pro models' custom 28mm and 35mm shooting modes. Technically, you get a cropped 28mm or 35mm portion from the native 24mm primary lens and you get it in the same 24MP resolution as the default 24mm images. Apple says that with the iPhone 15 Pro, "it's like having seven pro lenses in your pocket". It's a convenient feature for those who prefer a focal length narrower than 24mm. You tap the 1x mode in the camera to go to 28mm (1.2x) and once again to 35mm (1.5x). You can even make either the default...
