OPPO Find N6 vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: The Foldable Fight Samsung Might Not Win

If you’re in the market for a book-style foldable, and you live in the United States, your best option is arguably the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. If you live overseas, however, you have many more options. One of the best options is the OPPO Find N6 that came out in the spring of 2026. Both of these phones offer an insanely thin design,  excellent cameras, and fun software tricks that can make for a great phone experience. If you’re lucky enough to live somewhere where both are readily available, this is a difficult choice.


Nothing’s Boldest Lineup Yet: Hands-On with the Phone (4a) Pro, Phone (4a), and the Colorful New Headphone (a)

Nothing launched a new lineup of smartphones and audio today in London, including the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, the Nothing Phone (4a), and the Nothing Headphone (a). Supported by last year’s flagship Nothing Phone (3) and Nothing Headphone (1), this represents the strongest lineup of phones and audio that the company has ever launched. Right now, Nothing has a pretty intimidating portfolio of devices, top to bottom.


OPPO Reno 15 Pro Review: Beautiful Design, Big Battery, and a “Pro” Camera That Doesn’t Quite Deliver

As a U.S.-focused phone reviewer, it’s nice every now and then to take the blinders off and see what’s available in the rest of the world. While OPPO kinda-sorta has a presence here in the United States via OnePlus, I wanted to take a look at OPPO’s offerings directly. The company sent me the OPPO Reno 15 Pro, the Reno 15, and the OPPO Watch S. The Reno 15 Pro is obviously the headliner here, but I appreciated the chance to take a look at the other devices as well.


OnePlus 15 vs. OnePlus 15R: When the “Premium Midrange” Starts Feeling Awkward

OnePlus is one of the lesser-known brands in the U.S., but that doesn’t mean its phones are not good. Indeed, OnePlus has been making remarkable strides over the past few years, including being among the first phones to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. The OnePlus 15 is a blazing-fast phone, particularly good for gaming. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 15R exists in an odd place, somewhere between flagship and midrange, with some really great specifications, but a higher price tag than we’re used to due to a variety of factors. But it’s still a good value in its own…


Poco X7 Pro Iron Man Edition Unboxing: A Marvel Fan’s Dream Phone Has Iron Man Suiting Up One Last Time

Phones are cool enough, but you’ll often see a collaboration with another company when a brand wants to do something over the top. Sometimes it’s fashion or a musical group. This time, Poco decided to work with Marvel and arguably its most popular character in the franchise, Iron Man. Never mind that Iron Man died almost six years ago (spoiler alert); the character’s popularity is still around today. So Tony Stark has suited up one last time, pulling out all the stops on this Poco X7 Pro Iron Edition. Let’s unbox it and see what Poco has in store!


OPPO Find X8 Pro Review: The Perfect Fusion of Android Power and iPhone Innovation—If You Live Outside of the U.S.

OPPO, as a Chinese smartphone maker that’s a subsidiary of BBK, has something of a “best of both worlds” philosophy going for it. As a Chinese phone maker, the company tends to lean toward making its phone interface mirror the iPhone as much as possible. As a member of BBK, you’ll see some parallels between its phones and OnePlus phones. The two share a parts bin with each other. Often, the latest OPPO phone is a preview of things to come from its sister company here in the States. That’s what makes the OPPO Find X8 Pro very compelling.


Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Camera Showdown: Did Samsung Make the Right Move?

Like its predecessors, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra still comes packed with enough camera lenses to trigger someone with trypophobia, but this year, that comes with a pretty major change. Most of the hardware is still the same as the previous generation, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but there’s one significant change in the telephoto camera. In 2024, Samsung decided to go with a 50-megapixel telephoto sensor with a 5X optical periscope lens. This replaced the 10-megapixel, 10X optical sensor from the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
