The vivo X200 FE is not as capable as the X200 Pro mini, but at least it will be widely available – which is more than can be said of the OnePlus 13T. The vivo X200 FE has a 6.31” display and while it’s taller, wider and heavier than the Galaxy S25, it is smaller than the Pixel 9 Pro and about the same size as the iPhone 16 Pro (except the iPhone weighs 13g more). It’s almost exactly the same size as the OnePlus 13s (the version of the 13T available only in India). The FE uses the...

Lack of Google Play Services is still a concern for many, but last week’s poll shows that Huawei has not lost its mojo – the new Pura 80 Ultra in particular is a highly desirable phone.

When Huawei was embargoed by the US, it had to shrink its global distribution network and it still hasn’t...

The Poco F7 launched this week, but there are plenty of phones near its price range that should be considered before committing to a purchase. We will also have a quick look at the two other F7 models. The Poco F7 is one of the first phones with the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and offers great performance for the price. The large 6.83” OLED display is great and the 6,500mAh battery lasts a long while (and is quick to charge at 90W to boot). Despite being the vanilla model of a value-oriented series, the F7 has a premium build with an aluminum frame and an IP68 rating. ...
