Samsung may have revealed the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 this week at the latest Galaxy Unpacked event. While technically accomplished, these phones are very much the gee-whizz of Samsung’s commercial offerings. The regular flagship Galaxy S Ultra carries that responsibility. Now we know more about the next premium phone, the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The latest details come courtesy of India’s Bureau of Indian Standards. While it is some six months away from a presumed launch, the government department has certified two batteries destined for the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Galaxy S23 Ultra camera samples appear, compared to S22 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro
Leakster Ice Universe has access to a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or at least camera samples from one. The leakster previously shared a comparison against the current S22 Ultra, but it was hard to make heads or tails of the image. Now the Cat has posted three images, roping the Google Pixel 7 Pro into the fight.

The images are once again crops from the full photo, but at least this time the subject is more recognizable – a pumpkin. Here are the three images, showing the Galaxy S23 Ultra, S22 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro: The image processing in the left image is clearly in the Samsung style with the more saturated colors. However, the texture of the pumpkin is sharper than the 2022 Galaxy flagship managed and also tops Google’s offering. Note: you can tap the Compare button on the right and pick two images to view head-to-head.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will have a 200MP image sensor (1/1.3”, 0.6µm pixels) and it will have three shooting modes: 12MP (default), 50MP and the full 200MP. The exact resolutions according to Ice are 4,000 x 3,000px, 8,160 x 6,120 and 16,320 x 12,240.

Note that 16-to-1 binning of a 200MP sensor should result in a 12.5MP image. However, Samsung seems to be cropping off half a megapixel to reach an even 12MP. The effect on the field of view should be minimal.Also, the 200MP sensor will be basically the same size as that of the S22 Ultra (108MP, 1/1.33”) but will be behind a slightly brighter aperture – f/1.7 vs. f/1.8. Ice Universe has been praising the S23 Ultra’s performance in the dark but is yet to share photos.

The usual warnings apply – the Galaxy S23 series is months away (it is expected to hit stores on February 17), so the Samsung team working on it still has months to tweak the camera. The image above may not be representative of the final result.

Introduction
We recently reviewed the 10T, but as we pointed out, it's not a direct successor to the OnePlus 10 Pro, as the lack of the "Pro" suffix from the name strongly hints. It's more of a side-grade, for lack of a better term, with the newer flagship chipset from Qualcomm, faster charging, but also some downgrades in other areas, most obviously the camera system.

So the 10 Pro remains on sale and even received a discount in some markets, making it an even more interesting proposition than when it launched earlier this year. We were interested to see how it aged and thus decided to use it as our one and only smartphone for an extended period to figure out what it's like to live with, day in and day out, in the second half of 2022.It still has flagship-grade specs, of course, it also has the iconic OnePlus alert slider unlike the 10T, and it's got Hasselblad branding for its camera system. Maybe one year into the OnePlus - Hasselblad partnership this actually became more than another logo stamped on the phone's back? We've attempted to find out.

There have also been a bunch of updates since the phone was released, and in recent years OnePlus updates haven't always been the most issue-free, so we were anxious to find out whether quality control has improved in that respect or not. Compared to the big names in the Android mobile space, the OnePlus 10 Pro still brings an interesting value proposition to the table, so is this a phone you should perhaps consider if you want to buy a high-end device right about now?

Weekly poll: how many of you have a smartwatch and what kind ?

Time for a headcount – who here has a smartwatch or smart band? And what kind? Smart wearables are already a big business for tech companies and wearers like the convenience of having notifications or a payment system on their wrists. But we’re curious how popular they actually are.

There are full-blown smartwatches that run Apple watchOS, HarmonyOS or Google Wear OS, plus some older ones with Tizen. Those have access to a rich selection of apps from their respective app stores and tend to have more fully-featured communication options (including walkie-talkie functionality and even calls over the carrier network).

They have poor battery life, however, often lasting barely a day or only a few. There are more restricted smartwatches, that can last a week or more. Some of them have limited app capabilities as well, but do you really need apps on your watch? That’s part of the second question we want to ask, we’ll get to that.

In fact, if all you want is basic health tracking (e.g. heart rate, sleep), basic exercise tracking and at-a-glance notifications, a smart band can work just as well. They are cheaper, so you don’t feel band when you scratch it or when it comes time to upgrade.

So, who has a smart wearable and what kind ?

Have you noticed how phones with fast charging tend to have smaller batteries than phones that charge slowly? We did. We even asked manufacturers about it, however, they were pretty tight lipped about the details. So, we decided to do our own research.

We searched through our database for devices from the same maker, that launched around the same time and that have the same dimensions (down to the tenth of a millimeter), but offer different charge speeds. The idea is to remove as many variables as possible. Often times addition of fast charging is the difference between vanilla and Pro models, so it is sold as a premium feature.

How much battery capacity does fast charging “cost”? Based on twelve pairs of devices, the short answer is around 10%. So, one phone may have a 5,000 mAh battery, a nearly identical model with fast charging will have a 4,500 mAh battery. The loss varies by model of course and in general faster charging means less capacity.
