    Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro review
    The Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro debuted in China last year, but it took six months for the company to launch its best smartwatch globally. The wearable made its global debut at MWC 2023 in Barcelona, but we've actually had it for a while before that and now we are ready to share our test findings.Xiaomi set a relatively high price tag for the Watch S1 Pro - it is €299, compared to last year’s €229, but it's not just inflation we are seeing here - the new wearable is actually considerably more powerful and better built.The Watch S1 Pro comes in a single 46mm size and is fairly light,...

    Flashback: LG G5 tried to wow the crowd with its Magic Slot, but failed
    A couple of years ago we looked at the best LG phones and called the LG G5 “the most ambitious LG phone ever”. We stand by that – the phone brought some features that had a marked impact on the market and some that did not, not even on LG’s own lineup.The G5 was the first phone with a proper dual camera, at least the way we understand it today – not a 3D camera like the Optimus 3D, no depth sensor, but two camera modules with different focal lengths.The LG G5 was a bold, innovative phone that failed to resonate with the markteYou might argue that the LG V10 featured a...

    Report: Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be available globally
    After the well-acclaimed Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra in 2021, everyone was waiting for the 12 Ultra.

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 tipped to use the same primary camera as its predecessor

    Samsung Galaxy S23 FE may not happen after all
    It's been a while since Samsung launched the last Fan Edition / "FE" smartphone. The Galaxy S21 FE came out back in January of last year. And since then... nothing. Rumors have been rampant, first about a Galaxy S22 FE, then, when that didn't happen, we started hearing about a Galaxy S23 FE, which most recently was said to arrive in the second half of this year.And yet. Today a prolific (and usually reliable) leakster, Roland Quandt, has some bad news for everyone who's been expecting the S23 FE with bated breath.

    Samsung to launch a new Galaxy SmartTag later this year
    Samsung launched its first Galaxy SmartTag in early 2021 alongside the Galaxy S21 series, but there hasn't been a follow-up since.

They just work.Apparently, Samsung has come up with an updated version of its original SmartTag and SamMobile's sources reveal that the second-generation smart tag will be released later this year, probably alongside the two foldables and the Galaxy Buds3 and Galaxy Watch6 in August.We could see the next-generation tag with improved range, more...

    Samsung to also unveil Galaxy A34 5G in India on March 16
    Earlier today, we saw a promotional banner on Samsung's website teasing the Galaxy A54 5G in different colors with triple rear cameras. While that event page didn't reveal the Galaxy A54 5G's launch date, a press note we received from Samsung says the Korean conglomerate will unveil two new Galaxy A-series smartphones in India on March 16. Samsung didn't mention the names of the phones, but one is likely the Galaxy A54 5G, and the other is Galaxy A34 5G.We say so because the URL in the press note redirects us to a page on Samsung India's website, showing three smartphones.

    Last week marked the first sighting of the Asus ROG Phone 7 on Geekbench, possibly the 7D variant (judging by its module number ASUS_AI2205_D).

    Default Weekly poll: Samsung Galaxy A54 and Galaxy A34, fan favorites or a mis

    Samsung’s Galaxy A series is a crowd-pleaser – it looks and feels a lot like the pricier Galaxy S models without costing nearly as much.

The A53 had the Exynos 1280 and it managed to match its predecessor at 113h endurance, but it needed 500mAh extra in the battery to do so.

    Sennheiser IE 200 review
