Forget boring plastic soap boxes from Korea and Cupertino. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro comes with 140x zoom, 137 LEDs, and a body that's thinner than politicians' campaign promises. Is this a phone that actually has a soul?

Remember the days when phones were just black or gray boxes full of boredom. Then along came Carl Pei and his London-based team Nothing and sold us transparency as the latest fashion. Now they've gone one step further. Introducing the Nothing Phone (4a) in pink - a device that proves that a man in a leather jacket (yes, me) can write about a "pink" phone without losing his dignity. Almost.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is here. It's lighter, thinner, and smarter than ever before. But its real magic lies in the screen that keeps your secrets safe from prying eyes on the bus. Is this the best smartphone of 2026?
Samsung is raising the bar again. Not with flashy revolutions, but with a quiet but deadly effective evolution. The Samsung Galaxy S26 series, which will see the light of day in late February, promises a return to what really matters in a smartphone: a premium user experience wrapped in a body that is a pleasure to hold in your hand.
The year 2026 could bring a revolution in Apple's world - without the standard iPhone 18, but with powerful Pro models, a foldable iPhone and a bunch of tech goodies. Rumors point to a strategic delay that could shake up the smartphone market.
Finally, a smartphone that doesn't vie for your attention or sell your soul to advertisers. Punkt. The MC03 is a Swiss-made, German-made safe, with a removable battery and an operating system that gives Google the middle finger. But freedom comes at a price - literally.
It's true, rubbing your fingers across a glass surface feels about as natural as trying to play the piano on a tablet. It works, but it's soulless. For nearly two decades, we've pretended to like it when autocorrect turns meaningful messages into complete nonsense. But the solution is here. The Clicks Communicator isn't just a phone; it's a rebellion against the tyranny of touchscreens. And a phone for old farts.
Welcome to Las Vegas, the only city in the world where your TV is smarter than your dog and your phone costs more than your first Honda Civic. Las Vegas. A city of sin that once a year becomes a place of circuits, soldering, and promises that rarely come true. We're on the cusp of CES 2026 (Consumer Electronics Show), and if you thought the tech industry had reached its peak with smart wine stoppers, you'd be wrong. This year, it's all about robots that are finally going to save us from housework and screens so bright you'll need sunglasses in your own living room. Elvis may have left the building, but artificial intelligence has entered—and this time it has arms, legs, and probably a better sense of fashion than you.
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.
In the year 2025, where every day they try to sell us glasses that supposedly read our minds and artificial intelligence that writes love letters for us, one indisputable truth remains: the smartphone is still the alpha and omega of our existence. It is our personal computer, our camera and our ticket to the world. And the year 2025? The year 2025 was for phones what 1964 was for the Ford Mustang. A breakthrough. In front of me is an imaginary table full of silicon, glass and promises. And I, in the spirit of automotive journalism, will separate the wheat from the chaff or V12 engines from electric grinders. I have reviewed the specifications, checked the opinions of the world's greatest authorities, such as MKBHD, and added my infallible sense of "tin". Buckle up, we're off at full speed. The best smartphones of 2025!
It's finally here - the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold. After months of rumors that were more unreliable than the weather forecast in April and concepts that looked like props from a Star Trek movie, Samsung has thrown its cards on the table. And not just any cards - they threw the entire deck. They've unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold, their first tri-folding beast. Is this the engineering marvel we've been waiting for, or just a panicked response to Chinese dominance? Buckle up, we're in for a ride.
We live in a world where smartphones have become status symbols, as expensive as kidneys on the black market and as fragile as the ego of the average influencer. We pay a thousand euros and more for devices that we use mainly to watch cats on TikTok. And then there's the Xiaomi Poco F8 Pro. A phone that walks into a room, kicks the door off its hinges, throws 1,500 euros worth of specs on the table, and asks for a third of that amount with a smile. Is it the perfect phone? No. But it's the absolute wildest bargain of the year, one that will give CEOs in Cupertino and Seoul a headache.
