Hot take: Motorola Moto G30 and G10

The early Moto G phones from Motorola were known as excellent mid-range phones with sensible prices. However, the brand has taken on a scattershot approach recently and it’s difficult to make heads or tails out of its product lineup. The Moto G30 and G10 are a simple enough proposition – high resolution cameras and long lasting batteries at a reasonable price. The G30 even throws in a few goodies like a 90Hz display and 20W fast charging. Before we dig into the details, we should note that the two phones will launch in Europe before the end of the month. The G30 will cost €180 and the...

Redmi 9 Power with 6GB/128GB memory allegedly coming to India

The Redmi 9 Power made its debut in India in December last year and was almost immediately met with a bit of confusion, since it appeared to oddly encroach on the company's Poco M3 market share in an obvious way. The Redmi 9 Power is pretty-much a re-branded Redmi Note 9 4G, with an extra 2MP macro camera thrown into the mix. Still, that made it essentially identical in specs to the popular Poco M3 and even a bit cheaper in its base tier at some retailers, while offering an extra 8MP ultrawide snapper. Redmi 9 Power has four color options That is admittedly a bit of a weird...

vivo iQOO Neo5 appears in 3C certification and live photo with "just" 66W fast charging

One of the more-exciting bits about the upcoming vivo iQOO Neo5, as suggested by earlier rumors, was definitely the prospect of 88W wired charging, potentially even backed-up by 66W of wireless on a more budget-friendly device, said to sell between CNY2,998 and CNY3,598 (around $464 and $572). Unfortunately, a new 3C rectification listing, as well as a live photo of the phone's charger seem to put that to rest. 3C certification Apparently, some numbers originally got mixed-up since 3C's data clearly indicated that the iQOO Neo5, also known by its V2055A model number, will be...

Deal: the Galaxy Note20 5G is a whopping £400 off in the UK

The non-Ultra Samsung Galaxy Note20 5G was a very weird device when it launched last year, downgrading a lot of components compared to the Note20 Ultra 5G, but keeping the price very high, if not quite as high as that model. We're not sure how many people have, in the UK for example, chosen to shell out a whopping £949, which is what the initial price for the Note20 5G was. If you aren't one of those people, but still would consider the Note20 if it was cheaper, well then here's the deal of the year for you. Right now, you can pick up a brand new and unlocked Note20 5G for a mere £549.17...
