Galactic essence. The Galaxy S26 remains this year's most affordable and compact entry in Samsung's premium segment. Although it offers a well-rounded package that leaves little to be desired, it does appear somewhat dated in some aspects.

Cannot deny its origins. The handier and cheaper alternative to the OnePlus 15 comes with the best hardware and an XXL battery — more than 2x as large than that of the Apple iPhone 17. In this review, we see whether the OnePlus 15T is worth buying or whether it makes sense to opt for the flagship OnePlus 15 instead.

Superhero of the middle class. The Poco X8 Pro provides excellent value for an Android phone at a low price, making it a true bargain overall. Featuring a powerful and efficient chipset, this Xiaomi phone excels in several aspects, including battery life, speakers, and a bright OLED display.

Keeping secrets. In our test, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra showed what its new Privacy Display actually brings to the table. We tested the phone's performance, battery life, and price-to-performance ratio—and whether Samsung's 2026 flagship is more than just an expensive upgrade.

It could have been a very attractive package. You would not normally expect an AMOLED display as bright as the one on the Motorola Moto G67, with good resolution and strong colour reproduction, for under €200. Our review shows, however, that buyers will have to accept clear compromises in terms of performance and update support.

Unintentionally good. The fact that a Galaxy S26 Plus was not actually planned for the 2026 lineup is evident in many aspects of the Samsung phone. Is the affordable flagship phone still a good choice in the upper class, thanks to the new Exynos 2600? We answer this question in our test report. Update: Sample photos & game reviews added

Pixel perfected by discounts. The Google Pixel 10 has repositioned itself as one of the more compelling compact Android options of 2026, particularly at currently discounted street prices. Upgrades to the Tensor G5 SoC, PixelSnap, a handy 5x telephoto lens, a decent array of AI features, and Google's long update commitment make a strong case for the base Pixel against newer smartphones. But there are few downsides to be aware of.

Full of hot air. Vivo's new flagship killer is designed with gaming and strong performance in mind. To achieve this, it combines a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 24 GB of RAM and even integrates a fan into the smartphone's chassis. Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of one great feature, although the affordable price remains unchanged.

What will it be? From discreet to eye-catching, super-slim to robust, and durable to ultra-bright, the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion aims to combine many qualities. In this review, we find out whether the high-quality mid-range phone is a bit of a catch-all or whether it actually offers added value.

Unfortunately fantastic. Whether you like it or not, the iPhone 17e is likely to be a bestseller. By Apple's standards, it's inexpensive and, objectively speaking, offers decent features that make everyday tasks a breeze. However, comparisons with the other iPhone 17 models and some competitors that cost less than half as much are less flattering.
