After climbing to the top of our trending chart last week, the Poco F8 Ultra managed to retain it by the slimmest of margins. The newly unveiled Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold mounted a very strong challenge that came just short and had to settle for second place. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14301, 1#] In third we have the Galaxy A56, followed by the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, which has been steadily growing in popularity over the holiday shopping season.

Still, there are some deals to be had, and we've rounded up a few from Amazon Germany for you guys and gals!

Earlier this year, we ran a poll on the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate, the first commercially available tri-fold smartphone. The key takeaways from that were: 1) 26.4% said “I want a tri-foldable, but cheaper”, 2) 22.1% said “I want a Mate XT Ultimate” and 3) 16.7% said “I want a tri-fold, but not from Huawei”. This week Samsung may have delivered the answers to 1) and 3). May have. The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold will go on sale next week and we only have the Korean price to go off on. It’s roughly 40% higher than the equivalent Z Fold7 (512GB storage), which means that the global pricing should... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/ebhdpJl

The results from last week’s poll are clear – the Poco F8 Ultra is not the best flagship, but it is certainly the best Poco F8 model. And to be fair, it’s not trying to be the best flagship. Its price is so aggressively low that it is making people question whether they actually need the higher end features. Poco’s site still lists the Ultra at its early bird price of €700 for the 256GB version and €750 for the 512GB one. However, they are showing “out of stock” (also, Amazon briefly had a better price at €650/€700). For comparison, the Realme GT 8 Pro is €1,100 for a 512GB unit (note:... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/EuJnoPV

The European Commission (EC) has today reached a verdict on an investigation of X that started in 2024. The EC has fined the social network €120 million (approximately $140 million), finding that its blue checkmark was deceptive since it implies a user who has it is verified, but anyone can pay to obtain this status "without the company meaningfully verifying who is behind the account". This violates the obligation, under the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), for online platforms to "prohibit deceptive design practices on their services". The fine also covers X's advertisement... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/3kyud9o

To Exynos or not to Exynos, that is the question for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 series. And, additionally, where to Exynos? We've heard tons of reports already saying many different things - either only the S26 and S26+ will get the soon to be revealed Exynos 2600 SoC, or maybe the Ultra too, but only in some regions. Today a new rumor muddies the waters even more, claiming that all three S26 models will indeed use the Exynos 2600, but only in one market: Korea. We have to say we're very skeptical about this claim, since Samsung has in the past also brought Exynos S-series devices to... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/fPMYJzd

Yesterday it emerged that the Indian government was asking smartphone makers to preload a state-owned cyber safety app called Sanchar Saathi onto every new device they sell.

It will reportedly tell the Indian government that it doesn't comply with such orders in any market, as they "raise a host of privacy... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/dXjV8oe

Instagram is doing something weird with hashtags. More and more people are starting to get a notice when they try to add more than three hashtags to a post. That notice basically says you can only use three hashtags per post. This new limit hasn't been officially announced by Instagram, and not everyone seems to have it yet, so it's either a new 'feature' that's coming soon and is in the process of being slowly implemented for all accounts on the service, or it's just a test that's running for a limited number of users only, and depending on what results the company is looking for, it may... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/LSKNQpk

In a weird anti-customer move, Netflix has quietly disabled the ability to cast its content from mobile devices to "most TVs and TV streaming devices" like the Google TV Streamer and the older Chromecast models with remotes. You can, however, still cast to even older Chromecasts, the ones that don't come with a remote. And that's the key here - basically, if it has a remote, casting is disabled. If it doesn't have a remote, casting to it still works. Don't get us wrong, navigating Netflix with a remote might be preferable for some people versus using casting, which is oftentimes... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/Ie09YP2
