Review Snippet

With the Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi is steadfastly sticking to its policy of offering small flagship smartphones. The 6.36-inch device is extremely fast with Snapdragon 8 Elite, impresses with very long battery life and the 120 Hz display delivers over 3,500 nits. However, there are small compromises with the triple camera.

Thanks to its Thunderbolt 5 compatibility, the OWC Envoy Ultra 2 TB external SSD breaks the 6 GB/s sequential speed barrier, matching popular PCIe 4.0 X4 solutions like the Samsung 980 Pro. Design is slick and the case is also rugged, while the price is on the premium side.

With its elegant and compact clamshell design, the Ayaneo Flip KB offers a comfortable handheld gaming experience. The Radeon 780M GPU performance is in line even with more powerful competitors, despite the 30 W TDP limit, while connectivity is future proof with USB4 and OCuLink. Some downsides include the cooling system that is a bit noisy in full load and the reduced battery runtime.

Strix Point is finally arriving in more devices and flavors. For example, the new Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 with the AMD Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360. This slender business laptop is ideally suited for the 8 core version of Zen 5.

After what seemed like a never-ending wave of delays, S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl is finally out. Is the seventeen-year wait worth it? Totally. It promised to be the most ambitious S.T.A.L.K.E.R game ever, and it exceeded expectations and then some. That said, the game has its share of jank, and you're better off waiting until some of its more egregious kinks are ironed out via patches.

The Galaxy Tab S10+ proves to be a solid further development compared to the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus, but nothing more. The stagnation of the OLED display and the choice of SoC for the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus raise questions about the future of the tablet sector.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is better than its predecessor in many respects, but the Google smartphone is still not where it should be. The Chinese foldable competition in particular, as well as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, look more modern compared to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

The latest high-end workstation laptop from Schenker impresses with extensive connectivity that includes two Thunderbolt 5 connectors and Wi-Fi 7, while the i9-14900HX and RTX 4090 offer top performance. On the other hand, the cooling system and battery runtime are lacking.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 has a user-replaceable keyboard - just two screws loosened, and the keyboard comes right out. Why is this feature so rare nowadays, even among laptops for work?

The low-reflection PaperMatte screen of the MatePad 12X has surprisingly strong brightness levels for a 12-inch tablet, as revealed in our review. The tablet's thin and lightweight design also speaks in favor of portability and mobile usability. Compared to the Apple iPad Air, the MatePad 12X stands out in two aspects in particular.

The Galaxy S24 FE offers many reasons in favor of a purchase. While the numerous cost-saving measures of the S24 FE in the upper smartphone range are not without criticism, the overall features of the Samsung model will be difficult to beat when it sinks the mid-range price level.

Up until now, you had to choose when buying a laptop with an Intel processor - either the screen was a low resolution panel, or the battery life was bad. This changes with Intel Lunar Lake, as the Asus ExpertBook P5 achieved strong 16 hours with a high res 2.5K screen.

The Xiaomi 14T Pro presents its good side in our test. Especially the 144-Hz AMOLED display and the new Mediathek Dimensity 9300 Plus of the Xiaomi smartphone bring some positive surprises. As soon as its price drops to the level of a Xiaomi 14, the Pro model of the T series gets our purchase recommendation.

The Google Pixel 9 is a premium smartphone with the Tensor G4 processor and comes in many colours. Read our review to find out whether the Pixel phone is worth buying.

When the price hits €2,000, expectations are high. The Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 5 IRX delivers on some of our expectations - but apart from the great performance, there are too many compromises.

High refresh rate screens are becoming more popular with laptops, but often, the dynamic refresh rate setting is missing, driving up the power consumption. The Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 is an example for that.

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is one of the most exciting foldable smartphones of the year and impressed in more ways than one in our review. However, the super-thin and light Xiaomi smartphone comes with a handicap for which it can do little.

The 2024 Acer Aspire 16 pairs a current-gen Raptor Lake-U Refresh processor with an ageing RTX 2050. Despite this, it still offers significantly better 3D performance than all competing multimedia laptops with the latest integrated graphics.

The new MediaTek-powered Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has officially trumped its Snapdragon forbear in performance benchmarks with a significant margin, but incomplete data raises questions about efficiency and battery life.

The Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro 5G makes quite an impression, mainly because of its vibrant 12.1-inch display. But the metal casing also looks stylish. All details about our review are summarized here.

In our test, the Xiaomi Mix Flip impresses with its excellent OLED displays. But the alternative to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 still leaves some potential unfulfilled in everyday use, leaving some room for improvement for a future Mix Flip 2.

USB-A belongs among the "legacy" ports. This means: It is an outdated standard only maintained for legacy reasons, to be replaced by USB-C. With the affordable ThinkPad L14, Lenovo takes a step into the opposite direction: Instead of two USB-A ports, the budget business laptop has three USB-A ports.

The Razr 50 flip smartphone still looks very pretty and offers many unusual features while not being very expensive. In this summary of our test results, we tell you why we are still not completely convinced.

The Realme GT6 is advertised as having an impressively bright AMOLED screen. In our review of the smartphone, we came to a different conclusion, which was somewhat disappointing. This would have been a real unique selling point and would have done the GT6 a lot of good.

OLED, WWAN, a user-replaceable keyboard: All these features are not present for the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 Intel - the older ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 Intel still offers them.

Dell has presented the new XPS 13 9340, a super compact laptop—in everyday use, however, the new design requires a few compromises to be made.
