Apple is widely expected to be launching its first foldable smartphone in September, under what is believed to be called the iPhone Ultra. However, while it will ship with a more premium price than a typical Pro-grade iPhone, it seems that it may actually be…

Accessory makers spill the tea on why there are so few third-party Motorola Razr cases
Samsung, Google, and Apple might be the biggest players in the North American market, but Motorola does pretty well for itself. In fact, Motorola has consistently had a larger market share than Google in the U.S. over the last five quarters. And yet, when you head to a store or open an online shopping platform, Google Pixel cases, screen protectors, and accessories are much easier to find than Motorola accessories. Mainstream brands like Spigen,…

Google’s new Pixel 11 offers an incredible camera feature that Apple should copy
Earlier this month, Google unveiled its new Pixel 11 lineup. The phones themselves were rather similar compared to the previous Pixel 10 lineup, though they offer a few delightful quality of life improvements. One of those is a new set of camera processing options – allowing you to have far more control over what your photo will look like. On the cusp of the iPhone 18 Pro release, I’m hoping Apple offers something similar…

Actualité : Le test du smartphone Fairphone Fairphone 6+ a rejoint notre comparatif
Le Fairphone 6+ affine une formule déjà convaincante sans chercher à tout bouleverser. Plus rapide grâce au Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 et à ses 12 Go de RAM, il conserve un bel écran Oled 120 Hz, une conception modulaire bien pensée, une expérience utilisateur épurée et un suivi logiciel XXL. Si la photo progresse légèrement, l’autonomie recule en raison de cette configuration plus musclée. Il n’a en revanche pas de réel intérêt si vous…

Pixel 11 Pro XL review: Snappier cameras can’t hide an iterative upgrade
If you buy the new Pixel 11 Pro, you might have to proactively tell people that you bought the latest phone, unless they are following each and every launch. The main reason is that the Pixel 11 doesn’t look that different from prior models. The main updates to its aesthetics are its new colors, which are admittedly gorgeous, and the addition of a small glowing light on the back of the phone, which has…

Please don’t buy Google’s wildly overpriced Pixel 11 Clear Case
Buying a new smartphone usually means buying a new case alongside it, unless you’re one of those risk-fueled daredevils who opt to go caseless. And while there’s no shortage of third-party case options piling up at your local Best Buy or in Amazon warehouses, sometimes, going the first-party route just makes sense — especially if you’re able to pick one up with store credit. If you’re salivating over the new Pixel 11 series, I…
