Samsung is a key player in the smart wearable business and its current line of Tizen-powered Galaxy Watch3 smartwatches are among the most popular around.

Coming in a bigger box that the usual Galaxy Watch3, the Titanium model features a Mystic Black metal strap with removable links so that you can achieve...

nubia Watch review

What started out as just a concept device with the nubia Alpha turned into the perfectly viable nubia Watch. Is it a wearable phone as nubia puts it or is it just an oversized smartwatch? Well, it’s more of an in-between. It can do smartphone-independent voice calls and it's not exactly a proper smartwatch so you can’t have third-party apps.

Apple's new iPhone 12 lineup used the relatively calm week to reinforce its grip on our trending chart. The iPhone 12 Pro Max keeps its lead, while the 12 Pro and 12 rejoin it on the podium after the Mate 40 hype died down a bit.

Amazfit GTR 2 in for review

A little over a year later, Huami introduces the successors of the popular and critically-acclaimed Amazift GTR and GTS smart wearables. We have been in possession of the GTR 2 for a while now and we are currently subjecting it to our testing procedures, but while you wait for those to complete here's a quick first-look at the device. The new Amazfit GTR 2 packs a 1.39-inch AMOLED panel with 454x454 pixels resolution just like the first GTR. However, the new design trims the bezels around and tucks them under the glass, giving it a more modern and sleek look. Also the body is smaller...

Weekly poll: will the OnePlus Nord N10 5G and N100 fly or die?

In the beginning, OnePlus released only one phone a year. Then two. In 2020, the company has already unveiled six new models (not counting carrier-specific variants) and it’s the last two phones that are now in the spotlight. The two Nord-series phones are the most affordable OnePlus devices yet, but at what cost? Well, the OLED panels are gone, for starters, replaced by LCD. And the premium chipsets are no more. Let’s have a closer look, starting with the better-specced model. The OnePlus Nord N10 5G costs €350/£330, which is €50/£50 less than the original Nord (in the 8/128 GB...
