Once the iPhone 16e came out, it was ridiculed by many as it's substantially pricier than its predecessor, the iPhone SE, and the upgrade since 2022 is underwhelming, to say the least. However, according to a Bloomberg report, the iPhone 16e recorded 60% more sales than its spiritual predecessor. Sure, the iPhone 16e supports Apple Intelligence to some extent, gets a new, more modern design and display, but it's still stuck with one camera, and it costs $170 more than iPhone SE from 2022, which is a lot, even if you account for inflation. However, users don't seem to care, and there...

Nothing kicks off its third generation of phones with the more affordable a-series and this time there are two of them out of the gate – a vanilla and a Pro model. The former is on sale as of this week, the latter will arrive in about a week’s time (it can be pre-ordered right now, though). The Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro share most of their hardware.

This week, the Nothing Phone (3a) launches as a number of older and not-so-old devices see steep price drops. The Nothing Phone (3a) is a mid-ranger and is available in two configurations, both under €400. Nothing doesn’t do small phones, so this one is equipped with a 6.77” 1080p+ display (120Hz, 10-bit, HDR10+, 3,000 nits). Instead of a Dimensity chip, the company picked a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 this time around. The battery is a 5,000mAh cell with 50W wired-only charging. The camera setup includes a 50MP main (1/1.57”, OIS) and now a 50MP 50mm telephoto (2x), plus an 8MP ultra-wide and...

Last week’s poll suggests that Samsung’s new mid-range trio, the Galaxy A56, A36 and A26, are facing two major issues – the hardware is good but not great and the prices are too high. That could be thought of as a single issue since both concerns plug into the value-for-money equation, but the result is the same – people don’t feel like they are getting their money’s worth with these A-series phones. Let’s start with the Samsung Galaxy A56. It’s pretty clear that most people want to see a discount before considering this phone. It starts at $500/€480 and you can easily find a Galaxy S24...
