Artificial intelligence is a deep and convoluted world. The scientists who work in this field often rely on jargon and lingo to explain what they’re working on. As a result, we frequently have to use those technical terms in our coverage of the artificial intelligence industry. That’s why we thought it would be helpful to […]

A few days after its Chinese launch, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is going global. The global version has some subtle differences, though. While the Chinese model packs a 6,000mAh battery, the global unit has a smaller 5,410mAh. The power pack still takes 90W wired and 80W wireless HyperCharge. The other difference is the choice of colors. In Europe, we get White, Black, and the special Silver Chrome edition. That means the Pine Green special edition remains exclusive to China. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra packs the full-fledged Snapdragon 8 Elite with up to 16GB of RAM. The phone has a frame...
HMD unveiled a few new devices at MWC 2025. Chief among these is probably the Fusion X1. It is a pretty modest phone specs-wise, but HMD is looking to sweeten the deal by offering the Xplora parental control platform. Since we are already on the topic, Xplora is a paid, subscription-based service that runs on the teen's phone and can send out alerts for different events, offer location tracking and history, controlled contacts, app approvals and remote screen time management. It sounds like a nice and complete suite for parental control, though we don't know exactly how much it...
The Itel Power 70 looks like a pretty nice overall package. First, let's tackle its claim to fame – the battery capacity. The phone has a pretty big but reasonably sized 6,000 mAh onboard battery. That allows it to maintain sensible proportions, measuring 165.92 x 77.31 x 7.98 mm and tipping the scale at 200 grams. The "trick" here is the additional 4,000 mAh charging case that Itel is throwing in as a launch gift with the phone. This extends the total battery capacity to 10,000 mAh (not counting charging loss). The Power 70 does not support wireless charging, so the case has to connect up to...

February is over and the Mobile World Congress is officially starting on Monday and Xiaomi unveiled its 15 Ultra for the Chinese market. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is exactly what we expected - a camera beast made even scarier thanks to the addition of a 200MP 100mm f/2.6 telephoto camera, and a flagship made better thanks to the new Snapdragon 8 Elite. Xiaomi is expected to make the 15 Ultra globally available ahead of the MWC tomorrow. We obtained a list of devices that will get Samsung's Android 15 One UI 7 software next. The Galaxy S24 family and Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 will kick things...
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra joins the competition at the cutting edge of smartphone photography with a 200MP periscope. Unlike its rivals from vivo and Honor, the Xiaomi also has a medium-range telephoto module. Plus, the 15 Ultra equips its main camera with a 1” sensor. Xiaomi 15 Ultra While photography is clearly this phone’s passion, it’s also an all-round flagship. It has a bright display with great image quality, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is as fast as ever while running the feature-rich HyperOS, the speakers are nice and loud too. The 5,410mAh battery offers class-leading endurance...
