First up, it's time to talk Qualcomm's next mobile chipset – dubbed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Rivalling Mediatek's Dimensity 9000 – revealed last week – we now have a better idea of what the 8 Gen 1 actually brings to the table, as well as the assorted mobile manufacturers chomping at the bit to stick this new silicon into their next flagship phones.Next, we're moving on to another Qualcomm announcement, but this one's a little different.

But it's only the one segment, OK?Before that, we'll chat through the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 - announced just hours after last week's pod. This is the new flagship chip from Qualcomm's biggest rival, and for the first time it packs specs that not only stomp all over the Snadpragon 888, but may even best the upcoming Snapdragon flagship.Then there's the OnePlus 10 Pro.

2021-11-261h 18Fast ChargeMoto G200, Realme GT Neo 2 & Apple Self-Service RepairDidn't everyone get the memo that it's the end of the year and they're supposed to stop launching phones?Motorola just dropped five new G-series phones, led by the G200: a surprisingly powerful Snapdragon 888+-powered device that's targeting the mid-range market at €449. It's joined by the Moto G71, G51, G41, and G31, with prices ranging down to €200 - even with waterproofing across the lot of them.Realme also held a launch event this week, though at least this was primarily for the European launch of devices we'd seen elsewhere. Still, the GT Neo 2 looks like a ve...
2021-11-251h 21Fast ChargePoco M4 Pro, Windows 11 SE & Tech Advisor Awards 2021The tech world is slowing down right now, but that didn't stop Poco from barrelling in with its final phone launch of 2021, while Microsoft unveiled a more mobile version of Windows 11 and we unveiled our 2021 awards.The Poco M4 Pro is a pretty capable budget device from Poco, albeit one with some quirks. Like some other Poco phones this is really a re-branded version of an existing Redmi phone, but as part of that it borrows one real oddity: cosmetic camera lenses. Huh.Meanwhile Microsoft held yet another launch, this time for Windows 11 SE, a...

The company also revealed a wall-mounted Echo Show 15, its first smart thermostat, a new 'Hey, Disney!' voice assistant...

Yeah, we're as underwhelmed as the rest of you - but we have plenty of other Apple products to cover too, plus Xiaomi's 11T and Pad 5 launch, *and* the Facebook/Ray-Ban smart glasses. It's gonna be a big one.Apple launched four new iPhones, two iPads, and an Apple Watch at its event on Tuesday. There were a few iterative updates, but the new iPad Mini is genuinely pretty exciting - and it's Apple, so there's something to talk about in just about everything they've launched....

But with a price hike to match the new feature set, is it still a competitive option against budget rivals?Next up we're going to round up everything we know so far about the iPhone 13 series - most recently tipped to arrive on 17 September...
2021-08-271h 12Fast ChargePixel 5a 5G, Oppo's camera tech & Sony Xperia 1 III reviewThere have been plenty of phone launches this week, but only one that really matters: the Pixel 5a 5G. Meanwhile Oppo is upgrading its cameras and Toddy reviews the Xperia 1 III.The Pixel 5a 5G is the new mid-ranger from Google, but unusually it's only launching in the US and Japan. That begins to make more sense once you realise that almost nothing has changed from last year's 4a 5G, with the same design, chipset, and camera. Are additions like a bigger display and IP67 rating enough to win over even the anaemic American mid-range market?
2021-08-201h 14Fast ChargeSamsung Galaxy Unpacked, Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 & Honor Magic 3Well, that was a busy week.

Usually a quiet period for launches, instead we're about to see...
2021-07-231h 22Fast ChargeFreedom Phone, Snapdragon Phone & Realme GT reviewThe big phone companies have had a quiet week, but that's just left spaces for oddities like the Freedom Phone and Qualcomm's Snapdragon Insiders handset to creep out.The Freedom Phone is an "uncensorable" phone from self-declared Bitcoin millionaire Erik Finman. The specs are vague and we're not sure how it's supposed to work, but it does have an operating system "based on free speech". And we think the Stars & Stripes wallpaper might come included too.Only slightly less ridiculous is Qualcomm's Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders. This is a flagship Android device built by Asus...
2021-07-161h 07Fast ChargeSwitch OLED, OnePlus Nord 2 (& more), & Sony Xperia 1 III impressionsWe're veering away from phones for a hot minute to talk about Nintendo's divisive new Switch update, but don't worry: we've got loads of OnePlus news this week too, and Toddy's impressions of the Sony Xperia 1 III.The Nintendo Switch (OLED model), to give it its clunky full name, has already frustrated fans hoping for a 4K-capable Pro model. But is this just Nintendo sticking to its strengths - and what about rumours that the Pro model is still on the way anyway?Meanwhile OnePlus has made headlines almost every day this week. The company...

The core specs have returned but with a few compromises to hit a lower price point - though with OnePlus staples like the Alert Slider gone, has the company stripped away too much?Meanwhile, Apple is in the midst of its annual...

That packs the trademark flipping camera module, but drops specs elsewhere to make it work - is it worth the trade-off?Going all-in with a small flagship is a bold move from Asus, and the company was bullish about the benefits. Between that, the iPhone 12 Mini, and the Xperia 5 III, are we in...

It packs a familiar design, but with Xiaomi's own spin on the specs and a price that undercuts both Huawei and Samsung - shame it's only launching in China.The new members of the Mi 11 series will go global though, with the Mi 11i, Mi 11 Lite, Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11...
