Last week, we looked at several Nord models, including the Nord 3, which was down to ₹20,000. Amazon is out of stock now though.

OnePlus is working on the Buds Pro 3, according to a new rumor. The company released the Buds Pro 2 back in February of 2023, and followed them up with the non-Pro OnePlus Buds 3 this February, and so we thought the "Pro" moniker was simply gone from its roster, in a similar fashion to what OnePlus did for its flagship smartphone line. But apparently that's not the case, and the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are coming to sit at a more premium level above the Buds 3. The Buds Pro 3 will allegedly be offered in black, gold, and green, but as always not all colors may be available in all markets, at...

Android updates are increasingly supported for longer and longer periods of time on top of the line, high-end, or upper-midrange devices across brands, but lower-midrange and especially entry-level phones have it a lot harder. Qualcomm wants to do all it can to change that, however. The issuance of updates is very dependent on the maker of the chipset in your phone, as that company has to still actively support the SoC, and for most cheaper ones, the support window ends much sooner than for more expensive ones, perhaps understandably. Even at higher price points, the cadence of updates...

If you are eyeing a new Motorola phone, you may have stumbled upon the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion and the Motorola Edge 50 Pro, which honestly look visually quite identical. There is a bunch of differences under their respective hood, though, and we'll have a look at those in this comparison to assess whether the huge difference in price is well deserved. The Edge 50 Fusion retails for around €350, while the Pro can be found for almost double that at around €580. Sure, the Pro is expected to be the better device in every way, but maybe the Edge 50 Fusion has what it takes to get you a lot of...

According to a tipster on X, Huawei is working on next-generation Taishan cores that are more powerful and energy-efficient than ever before. The Taishan cores are said to be used in Huawei's upcoming CPU architecture and will serve as the power-efficient cores.

The tipster claims Huawei's upcoming Taishan V130 architecture will aim to compete with Apple's M3 chip and be based on the 5nm manufacturing node.

For whatever reason, a unit – or perhaps just a dummy – of the new phone was available in Algeria for people to handle and film and film they did.So, here is the Pixel 9 in pink... sorry, this will be called Peony (named after the flower). Apparently, this one has 256GB storage, which gives us hope that this is a real unit rather than just a dummy. From previous leaks, this should also have 12GB of RAM instead of 8GB, which has been the norm for the vanilla series for a while. The series will...
