I’ve been covering the mobile brand Realme since the company first got its start in 2018. At the time a sub-brand spun off from Chinese tech giant Oppo, Realme focused on manufacturing very affordable handsets that performed far better than the price tag would suggest.

La línea de relojes inteligentes de Huawei es una de las categorías más vendidas del gigante tecnológico. Esta semana presentó dos nuevos modelos: uno con un diseño clásico, elegante y de alta gama, que incluye un sensor de salud todo en uno; y otro que ofrece la mayor duración de batería del mercado. Sin embargo, este último tiene un diseño que, para muchos, recuerda demasiado al Apple Watch Ultra. El modelo más exclusivo, el Huawei Watch 5, se ofrece en dos tamaños: 42 y 46 milímetros.

Huawei’s wearable series is one of the best selling product categories for the tech giant, and this week it has launched two new smartwatches: a very sleek and premium one in the mold of a classic timepiece with an innovative all-in-one health sensor, and a second watch with industry-best battery life but unfortunately, looks just like the Apple Watch Ultra.

For the first time in close to a decade, Samsung has an extra S-series phone in addition to the annual main series. Launched earlier this week, the Galaxy S25 Edge is the thinnest flagship (or near flagship?) phone on the market right now, and the thinnest in many years. Measuring only 5.8mm, the S25 Edge is 31% thinner than the South Korean tech giant’s highest-end phone, the S25 Ultra. Samsung had to make some compromises to slim down, however.

Almost eight years ago I reported on a new mobile zoom camera technology being developed by Shenzhen headquartered Oppo. In the report, I wondered when the tech will be ready for prime time. Well, Oppo released the lens in a commercial device by 2019, but I'd argue now, in 2025, Oppo has finally mastered it, because the company's newest highest-tier flagship phone, the Find X8 Ultra, features not one but two optical zoom lenses using this "Periscope" technology, and it works very well.
