via Top 10 trending phones of week 13 After its predecessors dominated our trending chart for the past two years, it's hardly surprising that the Samsung Galaxy A57 topped our trending chart in the week of its debut. It enjoyed a comfortable lead over second placed Poco X8 Pro Max and the Galaxy S26 Ultra in third. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14379, 1#] Poco X8 Pro came in fourth, followed by the outgoing Galaxy A56.

via Weekly poll results: the Oppo Find N6 gets praise, but limited availability is an issue The Oppo Find N6 will be a very popular phone – and it could have been even more popular, but Oppo decided not to offer it in Europe. Otherwise, the N6 could have hit an impressive 50% positive vote in last week’s poll or gone even higher, assuming the phone reviews well (we have a review unit and we’re already testing it). The phone’s predecessor, the Find N5, impressed us last year and the N6 brings several important upgrades like the “zero-feel” crease, the 200MP main camera and the larger 6,000mAh Si/C battery. Of course, foldables aren’t for everyone – many in the comments said...

But while we wait, let’s have a look at what else is available. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14379, 1#] [#InlinePriceWidget, 14378, 1#] You can pick up last year’s model, the Galaxy A56, for $165 less than the A57.

via Apple discontinues the Mac Pro after twenty years Apple has discontinued the Mac Pro. The venerable desktop computer had a twenty-year run and served as the flagship model in the company's lineup for most of its lifetime. The company has since removed the product from its website. The Mac Pro first launched in 2006 as a replacement for the then flagship Power Mac G5. Similar to its predecessor, the Mac Pro was a desktop tower PC with a modular design that allowed the user to replace the CPU, memory, optical and storage drives, and PCI expansion cards.

via Honor starts teasing the 600 and 600 Pro, promises a "next-gen camera" A few days ago, the upcoming Honor 600 and Honor 600 Pro leaked in official-looking renders, and in the meantime the former was also spotted on Geekbench rocking the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC.

via The new Xiaomi Redmi A7 Pro has a massive 6.9” display and a 6,000mAh battery Xiaomi quietly released the affordable Redmi A7 Pro – it’s currently available in Italy and Indonesia. This phone is very similar to the Redmi A5 and Poco C71, except (as far as we can tell) it runs full-fat Android 16 / HyperOS 3 instead of the lighter Go Edition like the other two models. The A7 Pro is powered by the same Unisoc T7250 chipset, a rather old 12nm part. The more worrying spec is the 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM – that’s not a lot for full Android and apps (Go Edition apps are lighter). For storage, you can have either 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.2. The good news is that there’s a microSD...
