The iPhone SE is dead, long live the iPhone e! Okay, this may be an unfortunate development for some of you as the SE was the smallest iPhone and it was by far the cheapest. What now? The Apple iPhone 16e is the same size as the 16 and it is almost as expensive – it starts at €700/£600/$600/₹60,000 for a 128GB model. There are 256GB and 512GB options too, but those storage upgrades follow the same pattern as upgrades on Apple’s more premium phones.

Counterpoint conducted a market analysis of the Chinese foldable smartphone market and recorded steady growth in 2024. Even though foldables represent only 3% of all smartphone sales in the country, the 27% growth compared to 2023 is pretty impressive.

The Huawei Mate X5 and Mate X6 are the best-sellers in the book-type foldables category while the Pocket 2 and Nova Flip are the most...

The Oppo Find X8 Mini, clearly inspired by the success of the vivo X200 Pro mini, is allegedly launching alongside the Find X8 Ultra in March or April, and so far the smaller device has been rumored to weigh between 180g and 189g. It's also repeatedly been said to be very thin, and today a new rumor out of China narrows down the range we can expect. Its thickness will start with a 7, apparently, so it will be between 7 mm and 7.99 mm thick. That's in the range of Samsung's Galaxy S25, which boasts 7.2 mm thickness, and makes the Find X8 Mini about 1 mm thinner than the aforementioned vivo...

We've had a few run-ins with the tri-folding Huawei Mate XT Ultimate but finally arrived at the office and we can now do a proper review on it. The unit's here just a few days after it became a globally available phone - yes, you can buy one, in theory, but it's expensive at €3,500 and it's also harder to find than you'd expect. In the box, you'll find the Mate XT itself, a case for the main rear panel (it also slightly covers the exposed part of the curved display), a USB cable, and Huawei's 66W charger. Unboxing the Mate XT When folded, the Mate XT can fool you into...
