iQOO 12 finally gets stable OriginOS 6 update based on Android 16

When vivo and iQOO announced that OriginOS 6 based on Android 16 will be launched globally, ending the OriginOS / FuntouchOS divide, the brands also revealed a rollout timeline for existing devices. That, however, was misleading. For example, the iQOO 12 from 2023 was slated to get the OriginOS 6 update in mid-November.

Samsung unveiled its Galaxy Z TriFold this week. Unlike the Huawei Mate XT, which folds outward, the Galaxy Z TriFold keeps its vulnerable folding display on the inside and has an independent cover screen. However, that means you only get to pick between that and the fully unfolded screen, no middle ground. The diagonals are 6.5" and 10", although the surface area difference is larger than those numbers suggest due to aspect differences. You get last year's Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, with 16 GB of RAM, and either half a terabyte or a full terabyte of storage, a 5,600mAh battery, and a...

Weekly poll results: the Poco F8 Ultra is a hot commodity, the Poco F8 Pro stays in its shadow

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:...
