Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip6 on July 10, and we recently learned that the phone could be $100 more expensive in the US, compared with last year's foldable. Today, a report came from Europe, suggesting a similar price increase in the Old Continent, where the Z Flip6 will be about €150 more expensive. The information acquired by Saminsider suggested Samsung will offer the Galaxy Z Flip6 for €1,340 for the 256 GB model and €1,467 for the 512 GB model.

Is it a flagship killer? Or just a flagship? The Realme GT 6 is now available in Europe and India and tries to offer top end performance and high quality components while keeping the price reasonable. Let’s start with the price. In Europe, the 8/256GB base model sells for €600 and there are 12/256GB for €700 and 16/512GB for €800 options. Note that for a limited time these prices will be lower - €550, €600 and €700. In India, the base 8/256GB model starts at ₹36,000, but the 12/256GB and 16/512GB models are available too. Realme GT 6 in: Fluid Silver • Razor Green Here’s a...
The Honor 200 and 200 Pro were almost evenly matched in last week’s poll. The Pro model edged out its vanilla sibling by a bit, but both have around 40% approval rates. The Honor 200 Pro is certainly the better phone of the two. At £700/€800, it has a close to flagship price to match its close to flagship specs, but that is a dangerous game – older flagships get cheaper by the day. The build quality isn’t quite there with only an IP65 rating and no word on strengthened glass. And the pill-shaped notch maybe wasn’t worth it. That aside, both phones were commended for their...
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro (5G) is equipped with an impressive 200MP camera (with a 1/1.4” sensor), which produces excellent photos day and night. The sensor’s high resolution allows it to take great quality shots at 2x zoom and decent shots at 4x. The 8MP ultra wide and 16MP selfie cameras are nothing special, though. Still, with a 6.67” 120Hz 12-bit display (1220p+ resolution) and a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, this is one of the more impressive mid-rangers. The 5,100mAh battery doesn’t offer the best endurance (10:16h Active use score), but the 67W charger gets it from flat to 83% in...

We only recently heard about the Realme V60 and V60s through a TENAA leak which seemed to imply that both phones have identical specs. Well, now the V60s is officially listed for sale on Realme’s China website and the regular V60 was briefly as well with the same exact specs sheets.

It is rocking a 6.67-inch HD+ display, with a 720 x 1604 pixels resolution. The panel has a 120Hz refresh...
