The watch comes in Orange, White, and Black. In the box, you'll find the watch, a nice orange fabric strap (in our case), and the universal wireless charging puck (though one that sadly still ends on a USB-A port). The lineup's design is very similar to Apple's Watch and Watch Ultra, but this year we are starting to see more difference. The front is no longer a flat glass surface like on the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, and instead, there's a noticeable 2.5D curve to the gla...

Meanwhile, the Galaxy A37 got its first actual price drop. The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is $300 off at the moment – this puts the base model (which has 256GB storage, unlike the other three) at $900. The 512GB model is just over $1,000. We have a detailed comparison article that pits the Pixel 10 Pro XL against the Galaxy S26 Ultra to help you choose betwee...

The update for the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro comes with firmware version R630XXU0AZD2, requires a download of about 8MB, and brings stability-focused improvements to the earphones. The update for the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro, on the other hand, weighs around 8.5MB and comes with firmware version R640XXU0AZD2. But the Buds4 Pro's update, like the Buds3 Pro's, also focuses on stability, as the c...

We assume the "P" stands for "Pro" but for some reason DJI doesn't want to use that word. Anyway, the key feature here is that there's a detachable remote, with a touchscreen that mirrors the view from your phone. The remote has a joystick on it too, giving you great flexibility to control the device from a distance and perfectly frame your shots while using your phone's rear cameras. The Osmo Mobile 8P comes with ActiveTrack 8.0, which ...

The standout feature of the device is the 8,500mAh battery. If the phone looks familiar, that’s because it appears to be a rebranded version of the Enjoy 90 Pro Max, which was unveiled in China in March. Huawei hasn’t revealed the chipset powering the phone, but it’s likely the Kirin 8000, which is found on the Enjoy 90 Pro Max. The 6.84-inch OLED panel on the nova 15 Max offers an FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The device has a dual-rear camera setup with a 50M...

The merged entity, VodafoneThree, officially began operations on May 31, 2025, with Vodafone holding 51% of the shares and CK Hutchison (Three's owner) holding 49%. Now, almost exactly one year later, Vodafone is buying out CK Hutchison's stake, and thus will take full ownership of VodafoneThree. This will cost Vodafone £4.3 billion. The deal will of course need to be cleared by regulators, and that...

These are the most premium earbuds in the company’s low-end lineup, but below the non-Pro numbered lineup and Pro numbered lineup, and also the non-numbered Pro lineup…. Anyway, it’s best not to get too much into the weeds with this, as at this point it’s doubtful if even people at OnePlus can keep track of these. The Nord Buds 4 Pro are still aimed at being an affordable pair of wireless earbuds, but with many of the niceties that you now expect in more premium earbuds...

If you said "the UFS storage version", then you're correct. The S50 uses UFS 4.1 storage, while the S50t goes with the older (and cheaper) UFS 3.1. That's it. That's the only difference.
