In our gaming benchmarks, the Xiaomi 18 Fold showcases just how much performance is packed into its high-end processor. While Call of Duty Mobile impresses with nearly perfect 120 FPS, another popular title is capped at a meager 30 FPS. Our measurements reveal surprising differences.

A new Aohi charger has been launched in the global market, supporting 170W fast charging and a Turbo mode that briefly pushes it to 200W. There's a built-in screen, PD3.2 support, and three total ports. The launch price is $99.99.

Notification LEDs have all but disappeared from smartphones. At best, manufacturers still use the camera flash to indicate that there are new notifications. But Xiaomi is taking a different approach with the Redmi 17 5G: It features a ring-shaped LED with multiple colors.

One company's misfortune is another's delight. Samsung has a long history of mocking Apple's decisions and products. Even the now quite viral mishap involving broken hinges and damaged displays is being exploited by the South Korean company's international marketing teams for their own purposes.

In our review, the Xiaomi Redmi 17 5G proves to be a smartphone with many great features, but also a few drawbacks. Before buying, you should carefully consider what matters to you, so we summarize our findings here.

Samsung is facing serious competition: In our lab, the Xiaomi 18 Fold significantly surpasses the Galaxy Z Fold8 in display brightness and battery life. However, when it comes to features, software, and weight, the pendulum swings back in Samsung's favor.

Xiaomi is now almost exclusively competing against its own devices for the record for the longest smartphone battery life. Now, the Xiaomi Redmi 17 5G adds a very affordable phone that also lasts a long time. It's about time Samsung and the rest caught up.

The Honor X9e S has been launched in the Middle East, and this rebadged affordable phone has a large 8,560mAh battery that promises a 3-day runtime. It also has reverse charging support, and there's a bright 120Hz AMOLED display. The launch price is around $399.

Samsung's Galaxy S27 has picked up two UL Solutions (Demko) certificates in Denmark, issued on October 23, 2026, that rate ten regional SM-S952 variants at 9V and 2.77A, or 25W wired charging.

Honor has introduced a new smartphone called the Honor X8e. The device pairs a large 7,700mAh battery with 45W charging and offers a 108MP primary camera, a 120Hz display, and an IP69K rating.

Samsung has already released three foldable smartphones in 2026. Now, it has pivoted to the Samsung W27, which differs from the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra in a few key areas. Samsung only sells its latest foldable in China, though.

The OnePlus Ace 7 series has been launched in China, bringing two sub-flagship phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Gen 5V. Both are gaming-focused and feature an 185Hz OLED display and a large 9,000mAh battery. The starting retail price is CNY 4,799, around $720.

Many manufacturers still struggle to promise their customers truly long-term updates for smartphones and tablets. Yet Xiaomi proves that even cheap phones can offer six years of security updates.

Foldable smartphones aren't exactly known as battery endurance champions. One foldable turns that perception on its head and achieves an impressive runtime of around 26 hours in our Wi-Fi test. This also highlights the potential that modern foldables have to offer.

The Neo 12 has been launched in China, and it's essentially a more affordable gaming phone than the recently released iQOO 16. It's powered by the last-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which is paired with a cooling fan and a 185Hz display. The starting launch price is around $659.

The Motorola Signature 27 is an impressive flagship with a 200 MP periscope telephoto camera and a Bang & Olufsen sound system, but according to an EU retailer listing, it will be very expensive. The Razr Flex 27, on the other hand, is expected to be significantly cheaper than the Apple iPhone Duo.

The Vivo X500 Pro Max is now officially available in Europe and other parts of the world. The global version of this new Zeiss camera flagship has been accompanying me on my travels through Brazil for almost a month now. After around 5,000 photos and a few videos, it is time to look back and share the highlights of this trip with you. Much more content on what may be the best camera flagship on the market is planned for the coming weeks, including a trip to Antarctica and a camera comparison with the Vivo X300 Pro.

Following the China launch in late September, it is now Europe's turn. At a major launch event on one of the Canary Islands, the latest Zeiss camera flagships are making their debut outside China, with some rather attractive preorder deals and new model variants, but unfortunately also very high prices.

The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max aims to set new standards with its camera system. At the launch in Mallorca, we had the chance to extensively test the flagship's cameras - including the optional teleconverter. Numerous test photos and a video show how the smartphone performs in practice.

Motorola's latest mid-range smartphone aims to stand out primarily through strong value for money, as Motorola packs a 7,000 mAh battery and a 108-megapixel main camera into a colorful chassis with a thoroughly modern design.

The Redmi K100 has been launched in China, and it stands as an affordable phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. It sports a large 10,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging support and has a 165Hz AMOLED display. The starting price is CNY 2,999, about $450.

The Xiaomi 18 could be one of the most exciting lower-priced flagship smartphones of the year, as the latest rumors suggest Xiaomi is making hardly any compromises, equipping the Xiaomi 18 with a metal body and not one but two 200-megapixel cameras. However, the device is reportedly set to miss out on one of the Pro model's most exciting features.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro and the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max could be available globally very soon, as an Italian retailer has already listed the two flagship smartphones, showing them in Velvet Red for the first time. The online store confirms prices, launch discounts and specs.

The iPhone Duo lacks FaceTime's Eye Contact setting, which adjusts your gaze during video calls to make it look as though you are looking into the camera. Even iPhones with Touch ID have it, but the foldable does not. Apple has yet to explain why, but the camera's position beneath the inner display offers a plausible reason.

Apple has acknowledged reports of cracked inner displays on its new foldable iPhone Duo, saying the issue affects a small number of devices. Affected owners are being advised to contact AppleCare for replacements, while the cause of the screen failures remains unclear.

The iPhone Duo is Apple's first-ever foldable smartphone. However, the launch of the device has been spoiled by reported cases of hinge failures and broken inner displays. Samsung is apparently taking full advantage of this and is rubbing salt in the wounds of Apple.

Anyone who wants a 200-megapixel main camera, a periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom and a gigantic 10,000 mAh battery doesn't necessarily have to buy a flagship smartphone, as the Realme 17 Pro+ is expected to offer these features at a mid-range price.

One of HMD Global's most exciting affordable mid-range smartphones is set to receive two significant upgrades soon, as the modular HMD Fusion is set to be relaunched with more performance and a better display, alongside the HMD Pulse Pro and Crest Max.

There are plenty of smartphones with high-quality casing materials, but you usually have to pay a lot for them. Motorola proves it doesn't have to be that way with the Edge 70 Max: You can already find it online at a fairly low price, yet it comes with a premium chassis that even resists water and dust.

A leak from tipster Digital Chat Station outlines the Oppo Find X10 Ultra with four rear cameras led by a 1/1.12-inch 200MP LOFIC main sensor, alongside a 200MP ultra-wide, a 200MP 3x periscope, and a 50MP 10x periscope.
