Assassin's Creed Mirage for iPhone review

Assassin's Creed Mirage is the latest AAA title to be released for iOS and iPadOS. It is the last of the four major games that were announced during the iPhone 15 keynote in 2023, the others being Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4, and Death Stranding Director's Cut. We already have reviews for those and now it's time to take a look at Mirage.

Deals: Nothing Phone (2), Galaxy S23 and iPhone 15 Pro see price drops

The Nothing Phone (3) isn’t coming this year, CEO Carl Pei confirmed. It looks like the company is focusing on the CMF Phone 1 for now. So, we’ll have a look at the Nothing Phone (2) instead. This launched in mid-2023 with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and some features that still keep it competitive.

The phone has an LTPO display, a 6.7” 120Hz 10-bit panel with FHD+ resolution, and 15W wireless charging (wired is 45W), things that some mid-rangers skip. There’s also the 50MP main (1/1.56”) and 50MP ultra wide cameras, plus a 32MP selfie. And, of course, the unique Glyph lights at the back.

iQOO Neo9 Pro hands-on review

iQOO launched the iQOO Neo9 and Neo9 Pro last year in China, but only one smartphone escaped the country - the iQOO Neo9, which was introduced as the Neo9 Pro in India. The most notable difference between the Chinese Neo9 - called Neo9 Pro globally - and the Chinese Neo9 Pro is in the chipset and camera departments.

The Neo9 Pro is powered by Dimensity 9300 SoC and features a 50MP ultrawide camera, while the Neo9 has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip at the helm and sports an 8MP ultrawide camera. We used the Indian iQOO Neo9 Pro - sharing hardware with the Chinese Neo9 - for over a month, and...

Weekly poll: Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro go global, any takers?

The Honor 200 and 200 Pro are expanding to a global audience – pre-orders start today, open sales on July 28. The vanilla phone is priced £500 (and comes with a free JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi), while the Pro model is £700 (comes with Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 8 50W BT speaker).

Honor 200 • Honor 200 Pro

The two are quite similar, except that the Honor 200 Pro has a larger, curved 6.78” display, a more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and 66W wireless charging for the 5,200mAh battery. The cameras are slightly different too, with a larger 1/1.3” 50MP sensor in the main on the back and...

Weekly poll results: the Redmi 13 doesn't offer enough bang for your buck

Over the years, the Xiaomi Redmi number series has built a reputation for itself as solid value for money phones, though some were better than others. Will the Redmi 13 fall in the “better” category? Well, judging by last week’s poll, the answer is “no”. Let’s have a closer look to see what went wrong.

Price is definitely a major concern – at $180/€170, the Redmi 13 isn’t expensive, just expensive for what it offers. It’s a 4G phone, with one of the older Helio chipsets (well, it’s old on the inside) and a 90Hz IPS LCD.

The Poco M6 Pro was brought up several times in the comments – this...

Samsung US Father's Day deals: Galaxy S24 Ultra, Tab S9+ and Galaxy Book4 Edge

Father’s Day is this weekend and Samsung is celebrating with some interesting offers on phones, tablets, laptops and other gadgets. Here are the ones that caught our attention.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra gets a free storage upgrade, so the 512GB model costs what the 256GB one normally does - $1,300. And while we’ve seen better deals for a 512GB Ultra, Samsung has a generous trade-in program. An S23 Ultra is valued at $750 credit, the S23+ and the older S22 Ultra will fetch $600. Even an old Galaxy S21 Ultra or Note20 Ultra can turn into a $550 discount when traded in.

Deals: Realme GT 6T, Moto Edge 50 Pro and OnePlus 12R prices drop, Xiaomi 14 Civi goes on pre-order

The Oppo F27 Pro+ was announced this week as one of the toughest phones that still looks normal. It is the first model in India to carry an IP69 rating (protection against high temperature water jets) and it has military-grade durability (MIL-STD-810H). The curved 6.7” OLED display on the front is protected with Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Honor 200 hands-on

Earlier this week Honor held its global launch for the Honor 200 series and we got to spend some time with the Honor 200 which slots in the middle between the affordable 200 Lite and more premium 200 Pro.

At first glance, Honor 200 looks and feels nearly identical to its Pro sibling. It’s only after you take a closer look at the display that you notice the single punch hole cutout which houses a 50MP main cam but omits the 2MP depth helper from the Pro model.

The display on the Honor 200 comes in at 6.7 inches which makes for a...

OnePlus Ace 3 Pro battery and charging details leak

OnePlus is working on the Ace 3 Pro, and upper-midrange smartphone that should slot in its portfolio right underneath the flagship OnePlus 12. This is likely to only launch in China, but it could end up being released internationally under a different name - after all, the already available Ace 3 is sold in global markets as the 12R, while the Ace 3V is rumored to be rebranded as Nord 4 for international markets in the coming weeks.

The Ace 3 Pro will have a whopping 6,100 mAh battery according to prolific and generally reliable leakster Digital Chat Station. That will be paired with...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 stars in a new hands-on video

We are less than a month away from the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6's official unveiling on July 10 and we now get to see a hands-on video of what appears to be a Galaxy Z Fold6 dummy.

The video confirms what we've already seen in numerous leaked renders of the device. It compares the Z Fold6 dummy to an actual Z Fold5, and the differences in the bodies are quite notable.

Right off the bat, we see the Z Fold6 take a more blocky design with sharp corners, similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra's. The outer screen is wider and has considerably thinner bezels. The main display also gets thinner...

Complete Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 spec sheet leaks

We’ve been hearing a lot about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, but now its entire spec sheet leaked out – and it confirmed that major changes are coming. Samsung has rethought the floor plan of the device and while some features won’t change, the experience might be quite different.

Let’s start with the size. As you can see in the table below, the phone got a millimeter shorter and wider, but the aspect ratios of the two screens are more different than these measurements suggest. The important thing here is that the phone is thinner and lighter, which should make it feel closer to a...

OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite leaks in live image, runs Geekbench too

OnePlus has already launched the Nord CE4 in April, but we're still waiting for the CE4 Lite and the Nord 4 to get official. Now the Nord CE4 Lite has been leaked in the live image you can see below, which reveals the fact that it will have a 50 MP main camera.

The phone is likely to be a rebranded Oppo K12x, and it will have the model number CPH2621. The unit in the leaked image seems to have a silvery color, and a glass back. The frame is flat, unsurprisingly since that's been the trend for a while now.

According to various certifications for the Nord CE4 Lite, it will have a...
