Top 10 trending phones of week 48

Image
The OnePlus 15 golder run came to an end in week 48, the champion from the past four editions of the chart sinking all the way to fourth place. In its place we have the newly announced Poco F8 Ultra, which opened a comfortable gap to the second-placed Samsung Galaxy A56. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14301, 1#] In third we have the Galaxy S25 Ultra, while the top half is completed by the Poco F8 Pro, which couldn't quite match the popularity of its Ultra sibling in their debut week.

Weekly poll: will you buy a Poco F8 Pro or a Poco F8 Ultra?

Image
Half a year after the launch of the successful F7 series, the Poco brand releases two F8 models. They bring some serious upgrades, some fun designs and, unfortunately, a price hike. The Poco F8 Ultra is €80/€100 more expensive than the F7 Ultra for the 256GB and 512GB models, respectively. At least that is if you go by MSRP – the early bird price knocks the price down by €180/€200. Poco F8 Ultra This generation of Ultra goes for a larger screen at the cost of resolution – the F8 Ultra has a 6.9” 1200p+ display (120Hz OLED with 12-bit Dolby Vision), up from 6.67” 1440p+ (also... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/qkrWXxV

Weekly poll results: the Realme GT 8 Pro needs a price cut

Image
The Realme GT 8 Pro is having some identity issues – is it a flagship or a flagship killer? Its €1,100 price tag says the former, its hardware says the latter. And so, the conclusion from last week’s poll is pretty simple – the GT 8 Pro needs a price cut. The phone’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and massive 7,000mAh battery certainly impressed us in our review. And the 6.79” OLED display is a sharp, high-quality 1440p+ 144Hz panel with Dolby Vision. But it’s not an LTPO panel. Also, the USB-C port is only USB 2.0. Video stabilization could have been better. The same goes for the ultra-wide and... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/5WzvyTr

OnePlus 15 finally clears the FCC, US launch might be very near

Image
The OnePlus 15 made its Chinese debut in October and then went global earlier this month. However, for the US market in particular, there was a hurdle. While the company submitted all the necessary documentation to the US FCC for certification of the device as usual, the US government shutdown prevented the agency from actually issuing its certification of the phone, despite the testing having been completed. [#InlinePriceWidget,14206,1#] This has resulted in a delay in the OnePlus 15's launch in the US, where it still isn't available.

iPhone Air’s poor sales have discouraged Chinese makers from slim phones

Image
The iPhone Air is not selling particularly well and that may have discouraged at least three rival brands from attempting their own takes on the slim and light form factor. A new report from DigiTimes suggests that several Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, Oppo, and vivo have reportedly cancelled their plans to launch ultra slim phones meant to compete with the iPhone Air. According to the new report, Apple’s key suppliers, Foxconn, have reduced their iPhone production lines, and Luxshare has completely halted its iPhone production.

Report: OmniVision unveils its own high-end 200MP sensor, the OVB0D

Image
OmniVision also has a new high-end 200MP camera sensor for upcoming camera flagships, to rival the freshly announced Sony LYTIA 901. According to a report in Korean media, the OmniVision OVB0D is a 200MP 1/1.1-inch imager, so slightly larger, than the 1/1.12-inch LYTIA 901. The sensor features a Bayer filter, but with a different dual on-chip re-mosaic structure to the LYTIA's more complex QQBC.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE vs. Galaxy S25 Plus

Image
With this year's Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, Samsung brings the model much closer to the S25 Series. Size- and design-wise, it's identical to the Galaxy S25+, while it shares the full-fledged Exynos 2400 SoC with last year's Galaxy S24+. Compared to the S25+, the Galaxy S25 FE is around 30% cheaper in Europe and almost 50% cheaper in the US (when you account for storage and you shop from third-party retailers). Based on pricing and the specs sheet alone, the Galaxy S25 FE is the go-to option between the two if you are on a budget, and if that's the case, well, it's already settled.

Weekly poll results: OnePlus 15 may be in trouble as people want to go back to the OnePlus 13 days

Technological progress is irreversible – or is it? The OnePlus 15 has found itself in the midst of a controversy because several of its components are seen as downgrades compared to the OnePlus 13. Just compare the reception in the OnePlus 13 poll from last year - the hype was tangible. The screen? 1272p+ instead of 1440p+. The camera? Smaller sensors in the main (1/1.56” vs. 1/1.43”) and the telephoto module (1/2.76” vs. 1/1.95”). The price? Basically the same.
