Lava took a look at the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and decided it wants in on that rear screen action. Hence, the brand is now teasing an upcoming smartphone that also has a display on the back, integrated into a big camera island.This being Lava, we expect the phone to be a mid-ranger, which explains the much smaller screen compared to Xiaomi's flagships. We can also see two rear cameras, of which the main one has 50MP resolution according to the inscription.No other details are known about the device yet, only that it's coming soon. Undoubtedly, Lava will tease it some...

The Google Play Console's Supported Devices list has a surprise for us today - the Samsung Galaxy M17e 5G. This is obviously coming soon, since it's been added to this list, and like all of the M-series devices, it's a rebranded A-series model. But which exact one may surprise you.It is in fact a rebranded A07 5G. Even the model number sort of confirms this, as it's SM-M076B. The codename adds further proof: "a07x".Nothing else is known about the M17e at the moment, but the Galaxy A07 5G is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 6300 SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM, so we wouldn't be at all...

So, this is going to be a weirdly motivated list, but hear me out. Finding 5 phones to really like in a year - in 2025 and in our line of work - is no trivial task. Take Ro, for example - he only made it to 4, as did Sagar, and Ivan has 3 different but, let's face it, really same-ish foldables on his 'Top 5' list. So, in a way, I've assembled a 'Top 5' that's not entirely mine - there's one real personal pick, a couple of crowdsourced ones, and two more that are on here because of... tradition. Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold I have no use for a foldable. I've tried living with a clamshell...

Motorola unveiled a new premium line this week with the Signature phone and showcased its first book-style foldable, the Razr Fold. Alas, neither phone is available in the US (and in the case of the Fold, it might not be fully unveiled until the MWC). More competition is always good, so we just have to arm ourselves with patience. We don’t know the US price of the Signature yet, but we do know that it will cost €1,000 in Europe – the same price as the OnePlus 15. Speaking of which, here’s the OnePlus 15 at its full retail price though paired with a $100 gift card to soften the blow. ...

Motorola has been pretty inconsistent with flagship releases – its Edge series had an Ultra model in some years but not in others. Now it introduces the Signature line to serve the premium market and the first model in it is quite interesting. The Motorola Signature is not an all out flagship, but it costs a good deal less than those – you can pick up a 12/512GB unit for £900/€1,000 in Europe. Something like the vivo X300 Pro will run you €400 more, even the OnePlus 15 costs €1,000. Motorola Signature The Signature is a fairly slim and light device, measuring 7.0mm and...
