The OPPO K series have been some of the more eye-catching Android mid-range smartphones around for the last few generations.

On that note, the two are now also said to have the same SoC, display and main camera.

Thanks to a generous 33% discount, its price fell to US$999.99.

The Nothing Phone (2) is touted as a considerable upgrade over its inaugural predecessor in terms of specs, performance and rear-mounted LEDs.

Its 2K screen is TÜV Rheinland-certified for eye comfort while using the new slate's Reading Mode. It also runs on a 5G-capable Qualcomm processor and, thus, supports additional functions such as "lag-free" video calls.

According to a well-respected and typically accurate source, Apple will launch a second generation of the Watch Ultra later in 2023.

Ford's new rally-inspired Mustang Mach-E Rally will be available to purchase in the US and Europe in the coming months.

Ford has released images of the Mustang Mach-E Rally, showing off the visual tweaks that have been made to the electric crossover as it underwent the dirt treatment.

Shopping for a first camera can be a daunting experience, especially for someone coming from a smartphone camera with little experience.

Harley-Davidson's LiveWire spin-off has revealed the final specifications for its S2 Del Mar electric motorcycle, with some of the excitement tainted by a somewhat underwhelming top speed figure of just 103 mph (166 km/h).

The 16-inch gaming machine also sports the high-end Core i7-13700HX Raptor Lake CPU, 32GB of DDR5 memory as well as a 1TB SSD, while the RTX 4060 dGPU inside the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 has the highest possible TGP of 140 watts.

An official colouring book at a Tesla service station has opened up the speculation floodgates regarding the brand's upcoming electric pickup truck's bidirectional charging capabilities.

The book's phrasing indicates some sort of high-voltage or high-amperage output, rather than the standard 240-V and 120-V output other manufacturers have implemented, although Ford does offer nearly 10 kW with its 240-V V2L functionality.

Realme has announced that the C53 is on the way as a "108MP Champion" for the masses. This formerly more premium spec is thus set to trickle down to a whole new tier of the Indian smartphone market.

Xiaomi's upcoming first-gen car will debut as an electric vehicle (EV) with a more than respectable range, according to a new leak.
