IntroIt's 2025, and regular flagship phones don't cut it anymore. You need something new and intriguing to capture the attention of the regular public, and it seems that both Apple and Samsung agree this could be thin phones. While the iPhone 17 Air is coming later this year, Samsung was technically the first to unveil its super-thin phone, the Galaxy S25 Edge, which got 'soft-announced' at the Galaxy S25 Unpacked event earlier this year.

IntroThe Pixel 10 Pro XL is coming our way very soon, and while we have not yet been subjected to the usual overwhelming barrage of leaks (which is usually the case with Pixel phones), we seem to know a lot about the upcoming Google flagship phone. It doesn't seem that we are getting any major changes with the Pixel 10 Pro XL in comparison with the Pixel 9 Pro XL, which means that Google is happy with what it has achieved with last year's flagship.

IntroSamsung is about to release the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 this summer. And while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will most certainly remain pretty similar to its predecessor, we expect the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to score a tad more upgrades. There's the possibility of a higher-res main camera and thinner body, which would be precisely what the Fold line needs right now. However, the competition is not idle at all.

Summer, at least in the northern hemisphere, is rapidly closing in, and along with it, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is also set to arrive. We're expecting a July release date for Samsung's large foldable phone. And unlike previous years, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 might not be yet another iterative follow-up, but finally a majorly upgraded foldable with key improvements in the design section.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the next high-profile foldable phone that Samsung will be releasing this summer. Already a well-established brand in the foldable phone space, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will seemingly be yet another minor upgrade that won't stray too far away from the order established by previous phones like the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Aside from a spec bump, we don't really expect a revolutionary new experience from the compact foldable phone.

But what are the differences with the standard Buds 2, and should you consider the new, more upscale CMF Buds 2 Plus?

While we expect a titanium frame to be making the rounds once again, rumors claims we might see a return of aluminum as a build material for the outer frame. Apple might do that for cost-cutting reasons, as well as to shave off some weight. Sure, superficially it looks rather similar to just about any other iPhone Pro Max before or after it, but it has some unique quirks.

IntroEven if you don't follow the smartphone trends and the mobile market, you might be well aware that Apple holds its most important hardware events in September every year. This September, in particular, we expect Apple to unveil the iPhone 17 generation, helmed by none other than the most advanced iPhone 17 Pro Max. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will be welcoming some essential, albeit minor, upgrades.

Great battery life and superb charging speed are not mutually exclusive. At least they shouldn't be, and occasionally, a device comes along that reminds us how great it is to have both as a package. In fact, many phones through the years have combined wonderful battery endurance with the ability to charge from 0 to 100% in less than half an hour, and using such a phone is always a pleasure.
