Here's how much more Xiaomi is currently paying for memory and storage

We keep hearing about the RAM/chip crisis that's triggered by heavy global investments in AI data centers, which are eating up supply and making prices go up by insane amounts in the process, but what exact amounts are involved for smartphone makers? How much more are they paying? That's what Xiaomi President Lu Weibing has revealed on Weibo today. According to him, for a package of 12GB of RAM plus 512GB of storage, the company is now paying CNY 1,500 ($217) more than in the first quarter of last year (January to March).

Samsung Galaxy A37 in for review

The Samsung Galaxy A37 shares a lot of its core specs with the A57, but is €100/$100 cheaper, which isn't insignificant. Like its more expensive peer, the Galaxy A37 ships with a USB-C cable and SIM tool - no case, and no charger. What the Galaxy A37 is giving up to be cheaper than the Galaxy A57 may not matter all that much to you. The Galaxy A57 has a faster Exynos 1680 SoC, 8/12GB of RAM vs 6/8/12GB of RAM, and a nicer 12MP selfie shooter. And while the A57 gets you a metal frame and a slightly thinner and lighter body, the Galaxy A37 makes do with plastic. Samsung...

Galaxy S26 FE hits Geekbench, reveals the chipset Samsung chose

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 FE is now listed in the Geekbench online database, as someone in possession of a prototype has run the benchmark (version 6.2.2 to be precise).

Report: Samsung is looking to offset rising RAM prices in an unusual way

The rising cost of memory chips in the last year or so has forced manufacturers of electronic goods to come up with various strategies to offset the burden, especially smartphone makers that have a portfolio of low-end to mid-range devices. Bumping up the price of more affordable devices could potentially spell trouble. This doesn't necessarily apply to the high-end smartphones, where manufacturers are more inclined to shift the cost to consumers. A report from a Korean publication DealSite suggests that Samsung swapped out its homemade OLED panels in some of its mid-range models,...

Xiaomi TV Stick HD 2nd gen arrives with a faster chipset and HDR10+ support

Last year, Xiaomi released the TV Stick 4K 2nd gen with a more powerful chipset and HDR10+ support. Now the company is refreshing its basic TV Stick HD with similar features. Starting with the exterior, it uses the more rounded design of the 4K 2nd gen. Alas, the power port is still a micro-USB – come on, Xiaomi. Note that there is only one USB port and no microSD slot, so if you want to connect extra storage, you’ll have to look at Xiaomi’s TV Boxes. The original stick didn’t support USB-OTG and we’re not sure whether this one does, but that’s an awkward solution anyway. This stick is...

The new Xiaomi Redmi A7 Pro has a massive 6.9” display and a 6,000mAh battery

Xiaomi quietly released the affordable Redmi A7 Pro – it’s currently available in Italy and Indonesia. This phone is very similar to the Redmi A5 and Poco C71, except (as far as we can tell) it runs full-fat Android 16 / HyperOS 3 instead of the lighter Go Edition like the other two models. The A7 Pro is powered by the same Unisoc T7250 chipset, a rather old 12nm part. The more worrying spec is the 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM – that’s not a lot for full Android and apps (Go Edition apps are lighter). For storage, you can have either 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.2. The good news is that there’s a microSD...
