Smartphones have become like modern electric cars. They're all damn fast, they all have huge screens, and they're all completely characterless. You slide across glass, press nonexistent buttons, and feel absolutely nothing. Where's the drama? Where's that mechanical "click" that tells you you've just created a work of art and not just another selfie for Instagram? The Xiaomi 17 Ultra apparently read my mind, kicked minimalism in the butt, and brought physics back to us.

Forget mediocre selfies and expensive storage expansion. The Dockcase Selfix revolutionizes with an AMOLED rear display and microSD card slot that directly mocks Apple's storage prices.
Honor has officially launched the Honor 500 series in Beijing, and at first glance it's clear where the design team has spent the last few months - apparently admiring the iPhone Air. But don't be fooled: the new series isn't just a facelift, it's packed with some serious tech goodies.
The OnePlus 15 could have been just a regular “upgrade,” but instead it opted for a complete renaissance: a crazy-fast chip, unreasonably durable ceramics, a battery the size of an average eco-bathtub, and water resistance that borders on military-grade. The only shadow? A camera that clearly didn’t take the same self-improvement course.
Nubia has unveiled the new RedMagic 11 Pro and 11 Pro+ – phones that literally breathe. With an active fan, liquid cooling, a battery of up to 8,000 mAh and the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, they aim to redefine the concept of performance. But this level of power comes at a price — literally and figuratively.
Apple sent out an invite for an event on September 9th, and the visuals are reminiscent of a thermal camera and liquid glass. Nothing has been officially confirmed, but the hints are screaming: new cooling, thinner “Air”, fresh colors – and Siri, which could get a brain from Google. Apple’s event invite is heating up the internet!
In 2025, phones promised more AI and megapixels than ever before. Yet the most “common” choice climbed to the top of sales. First the story, then the reveal – backed up by data from Q1 (by model) and Q2 (by manufacturer and revenue). The best-selling smartphone in 2025?! Let’s see!
Although Apple is keeping its new devices under wraps like they're state secrets from Area 51, rumors and leaks surrounding the iPhone 17 are getting louder. It's clear: we're getting closer to another September spectacle from Cupertino. And not just any kind of one – but one that's supposed to be the biggest step forward in iPhone history. Thinner, smarter and, of course, more expensive. The iPhone 17 is set to shake up the smartphone world, and we've rounded up everything that's currently being rumored – or that Apple hasn't yet been able to successfully deny.
The Xiaomi 16 series brings fresh rumors of larger flat screens, advanced autofocus cameras, and massive batteries. From a mini model for compact phone lovers to ultra versions with revolutionary zoom - will this be the year Xiaomi truly dominates the competition?
A cheap smartphone?! As new models hit the shelves, older flagships become a real bargain. We checked several sources and compiled a list of the best deals on phones from 2024 that are now almost half the price but still top-notch.
Google has just unveiled the new Google Pixel 10 series and it has instantly created a wave of excitement. The four devices – Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and the futuristic Pixel 10 Pro Fold – represent not just an evolution, but a near-revolution in the world of smartphones. If the Pixel was once a “hipster phone” for photography enthusiasts, now it steps into the ring as a serious competitor to Apple and Samsung.
After the annual September ritual when Apple introduces new iPhones, many people are looking at their wallets with a question in their eyes: “Do I really need the latest model when my current one works great?” If you jumped on the iPhone 16 last year, you will almost certainly skip the iPhone 17 this year. Why? If you have an iPhone 16, you will not buy an iPhone 17 this year!
