gsmarena.com · 8 Nov 2026, 12:31 pm

Looking for a premium Android flagship? The Google Pixel 11 Pro XL and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra are two compelling options, but they take rather different approaches. Google's latest Pixel emphasizes its camera experience and tightly integrated Google software, while Samsung offers more powerful hardware, a broader feature set, and extras like Privacy Display and the S Pen.

Deals: vivo X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max come with freebies, the Oppo Find X10 series has a small discount

gsmarena.com · 8 Nov 2026, 9:01 am

The quality of cameras has reached stunning heights – and so have the prices of said phones. AI-driven memory price increases are certainly to blame, but those 200MP sensors aren’t cheap either and there are a lot of them. The vivo X500 series went global at the end of October, led by the vivo X500 Pro Max. It has some of the best cameras (especially when it comes to video), check our review for more details. The Pro Max offers a 50MP main camera (1/1.28” Sony Lytia L910 LOFIC sensor), a 200MP telephoto (1/1.4” Samsung ISOCELL HP0) with a 3.5x/85mm lens and a 50MP ultra-wide (1/2.75”...

Weekly poll: are you interested in the Motorola Signature 27?

gsmarena.com · 8 Nov 2026, 5:31 am

For a while there, it felt like Motorola had given up on flagships, at least the non-folding kind. The Motorola Signature 27 is a return to form for the storied smartphone maker (the phone’s shape is kind of reminiscent of the old Droid Razrs, isn’t it?). Among its many other impressive specs, this is the first Moto that supports GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused fork of Android that lets you decide how much Google you want in your life. The previous Signature was a fine phone, but it had a few weak spots – the 27 model is a proper beast. Starting with the chipset, the previous model used the...

Weekly poll results: touchscreens on laptops only make sense if you can use the laptop as a tablet

gsmarena.com · 8 Nov 2026, 2:03 am

The results from last week’s poll show that touchscreens do have a place on some laptops. It’s mainly the ones with a 360° hinge or the ones where the screen can detach from the keyboard – in other words, the laptops that can be used as a tablet. According to commenters, a touchscreen enables quick and easy navigation – especially for people who don’t like using a touchpad. Also, it has clear applications for artists, designers and developers. The second-largest voting block has no need for a touchscreen on a laptop and is mainly concerned with not paying extra for a feature that they...

vivo X500 Ultra on track to launch next year, says tipster

gsmarena.com · 7 Nov 2026, 10:59 pm

Tipster Digital Chat Station recently said that the Oppo Find X10 Ultra is on hold and might not launch. Before that, we heard Xiaomi had canceled the 18 Ultra. This left some wondering whether vivo would also cancel its X500 Ultra, despite vivo's VP of Product confirming that the smartphone would arrive next year in March or April in China. That confirmation came in September, and plans can always change. The good news is, the vivo X500 Ultra is still on track. This information comes from Digital Chat Station, who also said that the X500 Ultra is expected to launch next March or April -...
