Oppo has released the new Reno 16t smartphone in China. The company’s new midrange smartphone features a compact design, a 120 Hz AMOLED display, a 200 MP main camera, and a 6,700 mAh battery with 80 W wired charging support. Buyers can choose from purple, black, and heartbeat color options.

If one is looking for a big office laptop for work, the names EliteBook and ThinkPad should quickly appear on the radar. We tested both the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 5 and the HP EliteBook 8 G2a 16, and can compare both.

In some areas, such as the camera, the Oppo Reno 16 FS performs very well for its price range. In other areas, however, it truly disappoints us in our testing. Read on to find out what our final rating is.

A smartphone that comes with a great camera, good battery life, a bright screen, and a 6-year update guarantee should certainly attract attention, right? The Oppo Reno 16 FS, on the other hand, flies under the radar for many people. Here's why that’s a shame—but also where its weaknesses lie.

Microsoft has unveiled the Surface Pro 12-inch (2nd edition) 2-in-1 laptop powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Plus CPU for significantly faster local AI and GPU performance. The fanless tablet PC can be ordered with an optional 5G cellular module for Internet access while on the road. Sep 25, 09:31 PM GMT update: Added Notebookcheck's hands-on video.

With its tele-zoom camera, high-resolution selfie camera, and sharp images in daylight, the Oppo Reno 16 FS holds its own against even some significantly more expensive phones. However, in camera tests, there are also situations it doesn’t handle quite as well.

Qualcomm’s first-party benchmark data points to substantial gains for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 over the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, particularly in graphics and browser performance. Geekbench 7 results also suggest a sizeable CPU uplift across generations.

Ai+ has teased its upcoming NovaTab tablet with an 11.97-inch 90Hz display and a Unisoc T760 chipset in India. The tablet also features 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity, 13MP and 8MP cameras, and nxtq branding.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8's 4.1-inch cover display is designed to make the foldable more practical in everyday use. However, users who do not want to set up a Samsung account are at a clear disadvantage. During our review, only a handful of apps could be used on the external display without relying on MultiStar.

The Nothing Phone (4b) costs less than the Phone (4a), but it falls short in several key areas. The display, processor, and camera, in particular, make the more expensive sister model the better choice.

Our review of Samsung's latest flip smartphone demonstrates that this premium foldable stands out for more than just its attractive price-to-performance ratio. Powered by the Exynos 2600, it delivers up to twice the performance of Motorola's competing model in some workloads and offers a stronger overall feature package.

Nothing promises a peak brightness of 2,000 nits for the Phone (4b). However, our review shows a significantly lower value. What’s behind the manufacturer’s claim, and how does the display perform in everyday use?

With the Galaxy Z Fold8, Samsung finally addressed one of the biggest criticisms of the Fold series by adopting a wider form factor. The result is a cover display that feels much more practical in everyday use and an inner screen that is easier to use. After reviewing the Galaxy Z Flip8, we believe Samsung's smaller foldable would benefit from a similar redesign.

The Honor X80 Max Pro is very versatile: On the one hand, it’s well-protected against the elements; on the other hand, it still looks modern and sleek. On the one hand, it has a large battery; on the other hand, it’s a fairly slim smartphone. But in some areas, compromises have to be made.

It’s nothing new that phones can withstand drops and even survive in water. But rugged phones used to be clunky and covered in rubber. The Honor X80 Pro Max, however, now shows that this isn’t necessary at all to survive in harsh environments.

In our review, Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip8 clearly outclasses Motorola's Razr series in terms of audio. The stereo speakers of the Galaxy phone deliver the best sound quality for a compact flip phone. For buyers who place a high value on audio performance, the Galaxy Z Flip8 is the clear choice among today's compact foldables.

Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max smartphone in India. The device boasts a large 10,000 mAh battery with support for 100 W wired and 27 W reverse wired charging. It features a 120 Hz AMOLED panel, a 50 MP main camera, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset.

The Galaxy Z Fold8 shows where smartphones might be headed: a device that transforms from a compact phone into a tablet when needed. But this form factor doesn't offer only advantages, and despite significant progress, it's still far from being the best solution for everyone.

The days when smartphones got by with just a single rear camera are long gone—or so you’d think. But Honor has managed to include just one camera in the X80 Pro Max and still deliver a great smartphone. Read on to find out how they did it.

Being able to access the Internet on the go with a tablet is important to many users. This makes it all the more baffling that there are still tablets that don’t even offer a 5G cellular connection as an option. This is the case with the Oppo Pad 6, though the manufacturer has come up with a solution...

The Galaxy Z Fold8 isn't just a smartphone with a large screen. It really shines when you're using multiple apps at the same time. One UI 9 turns the large 7.6-inch display into a mobile workspace, while hiding some features that even experienced users can easily overlook.

In our review, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra impresses with balanced stereo sound and remarkably good speakers for a phone that’s only 4.1 millimeters thin. Thanks to its speaker layout, it has an advantage over the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 when watching movies and videos. An advantage that might be the deciding factor for audio enthusiasts.

A fast processor, a flicker-free screen, and a large battery—what more could you want from a high-quality tablet? Let’s take a closer look at why the Oppo Pad 6 still isn’t suitable for everyone.

The Galaxy Z Fold8 is by no means the first foldable device designed to combine a smartphone and a tablet in a single device. Google and Oppo have already demonstrated that this concept can be implemented with significantly wider outer and inner screens. So Samsung didn’t invent this form factor; rather, it’s reimagining it with modern technology.

An ultra-thin body and an extra-large OLED screen, but is it practical for everyday use? With the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, the unusual display format may limit its usability. Videos and apps, particularly in split-screen mode, often look out of place. Samsung’s smaller Galaxy Z Fold8 shows how it might be done better.

If you don’t feel like constantly charging your phone, you’ll probably like the Honor X80 Pro Max: The smartphone comes with a huge battery, yet it’s quite slim and looks great. However, there is one area where you’ll have to make a compromise...

Samsung is pushing the price of its premium foldable phone to new heights. The new flagship model, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, now carries a suggested retail price over $2,000. But who might find it worth the high price? We’ll take a closer look at our review results.

Is the latest foldable phone just a marketing ploy by Samsung and a response to the upcoming Apple iPhone Ultra? The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra doesn’t really deserve the name “Ultra", despite its titanium hinge and the fantastic 8-inch OLED display - yet it is still one of the best foldable phones of 2026.

With the Galaxy Z Fold8, Samsung is changing not only the technology but, above all, the proportions. The wider cover display and the 4:3 main display are designed to make the foldable more practical for everyday use. Our test shows that while the new form factor addresses some of the typical weaknesses of foldable smartphones, it also comes with its own set of compromises.

Apple has finally entered the foldable smartphone market with the iPhone Duo. The book-style handset combines a 5.5-inch outer display with a 7.8-inch folding panel, Apple Pencil support, Touch ID and the new 2 nm A20 Pro SoC.

In the smartphone world, the term “Ultra” raises the very highest expectations, especially when it comes to photography. But can the new Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra live up to this promise? We take a closer look at the Samsung phone's 200-MP camera and zoom shots and compare them with those from the Oppo Find X9 Ultra.

You can get the high-quality Oppo Pad 6 for a relatively low shipping cost without the risk of customs duties or VAT. However, the price isn’t quite as low as you might expect, and there are a few other things you should know.

Samsung is coming under increasing pressure regarding OLED flickering in 2026. Our lab tests show that while competitors like Honor and Vivo feature high-frequency PWM dimming in their foldables, Samsung continues to use a low 480 Hz frequency for the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra - a choice that is anything but ideal for sensitive users

The key difference between the Dimensity 8550 in the Reno16 Pro and the Dimensity 8500 lies in their ability to run on‑device AI models directly on the smartphone. MediaTek’s new SoC integrates an NPU with a dedicated “LLM Booster”, enabling more advanced processing for generative AI tasks. However, our review of the Oppo device raises several questions about how consistently this AI subsystem performs in real‑world scenarios.

At $1,500, the new Oppo Reno16 Pro, equipped with the Dimensity 8550, suffers a performance setback in the review. In benchmark tests, it falls short of the Poco Phone, which costs just $380 less. Thanks to its sleek design, top-notch battery life, and long-term software updates, the Oppo phone is still an interesting alternative to the iPhone 17 or Galaxy S26, priced below the MSRP.

With the Reno16 Pro, Oppo brings on‑device AI to the high‑end smartphone segment. Powered by the new Dimensity 8550, its AI features run locally on the device, no internet connection required. The Reno16 Pro also leverages AI HyperBoost 3.0 for gaming, delivering smoother performance without relying on the cloud. We took a closer look at this “digital second brain.”

Are you an iPhone user thinking about switching to Android? If so, the new, compact Oppo phone might be particularly interesting. Thanks to its interface for iOS data transfers, photos and videos can be transferred easily. However, our review of this compact premium smartphone reveals some shortcomings in its feature set.

If you’re not afraid of unusual smartphones, the Xiaomi 17 Max is an imported device from China that can compete with high-end devices at an affordable price. Let’s take a look at the phone’s pros and cons.

A smartphone with a really big battery, a great OLED display, a flexible camera system, a high-quality body, and Wi-Fi 7 must surely cost over US$ 1,000, right? Not if you look to China: The Xiaomi 17 Max is fairly easy to import and beats many competitors on price.

In our review, the Gigaset GS6 Pro emerged as an interesting alternative to the Fairphone thanks to its removable battery, long update support, and German manufacturing. However, the cameras on this “Made in Germany” Android phone are underwhelming and barely competitive even in the entry‑level segment.
