The Galaxy S24 Ultra is touted as Samsung's smartest, most advanced Android devices to date (and has the price-tag to match); however, it seems it can take up to "a third of a second" longer than one of its premium counterpart the Google Pixel 8 Pro to take a picture out of the box. This issue can result in blurry images with unwanted, inadvertent blockage of the subject - however, there are a few ways to reduce its effect.

The 14 Ultra is the first ever Xiaomi flagship smartphone to come with a Titanium Edition.

OPPO's current flagship Android smartphones are to be the world's first devices to access the new services.

Nubia has made the latest version of its current flagship Android smartphone official. The Z60 Ultra Photographer Edition has a vegan leather-effect finish designed to pay homage to retro cameras, and features the OEM's top-end rear cameras with a signature 35mm lens and a Neovision Tarzan AI Imaging system. Nevertheless, it is also one of the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered devices on the market.

Some phones come with money off their usual RRPs, while others are offered with a free tablet or wireless earbuds.

RedMagic has just unleashed the latest officially Transformers-branded version of its new top-end gaming Android flagship.

Despite its name, the Galaxy M55 5G is projected to launch as anything but a clone of the pre-existing Android 14-powered A55.

Sony's Xperia smartphones occupy a specific niche as one of the very few 21:9 aspect ratio devices in the Android world.

It seems the Realme 12 series of mid-range Android smartphones has one more thing to add before the end of 2024, and that would be its final, possibly most affordable, variant. The 12x is all but confirmed to land in a new tip that hints at specs such as the same SoC as its higher-end sibling.
