Let's take a look back on the final week of February, which was a fairly busy one. Samsung announced that going forward it will offer at least 4 years of security updates to all smartphones launched after 2019. That huge list includes the Z, S, Note, A, M, XCover and Tab series. Xiaomi announced the Redmi K40 series. The Redmi K40, K40 Pro and K40 Pro+ all have 6.7-inch Samsung E4 AMOLED displays with 120Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate and all four have a 4,520mAh battery with 33W charging that will bring 100% charge in 52 minutes. The K40 has a Snapdragon 870, the K40 Pro...

Over the past few years we've watched smartphone chipsets go from having a lonely CPU core to having ten. Display resolutions broke the HD barrier and currently top out at 4K. But progress has slowed down on both the chipset and display fronts. High refresh rate displays made things exciting again for a while, but that excitement is dying down too. Cameras, however, seem to keep getting better and better (and more numerous). And more often than not they are the reason to upgrade before your old phone is on its last legs. A Snapdragon 855 may be a couple of years old at this point, but it's...

Xiaomi unveiled three Redmi K40 phones earlier this week. Or did it? If you look at just the screen and camera, there’s only one phone. If you look at the chipset, there are two phones. And if you look at the cameras, there are three phones. That may sound like a magic trick, but a quick run through the specs should clear things up. Redmi K40 series highlight features and differences in infographic form All three K40 phones use the same 6.67” Super AMOLED display (an E4 panel). It impresses with 360Hz touch sampling rate (one of the fastest we’ve seen yet) and 120Hz refresh...

The Samsung Galaxy F62 became available in India on Monday, then a few days later it became clear that the model will go global under the M62 name. Samsung Thailand even listed all the official specs for the M-series variation (unsurprisingly, it’s a carbon copy). We don’t know the worldwide pricing, but in India the F62 starts at INR 24,000 ($330/€270). Which, judging by last week’s poll, is a bit too high for comfort – most voters like the phone, but they think it’s a bit too pricey. Some forward-looking individuals pointed out that the resale value of a 4G phone will be lower than that...

Say hello to the Samsung Galaxy A02s, an entry level phone that aims to deliver a decent smartphone experience at a €150 price point. The Galaxy A20s is well made and feels good in the hand. It comes with a cable and a 15W charger, which is more than you get with a Galaxy S21-series phone these days. We do regret the omission of a case, but at these prices it's no surprise. The back of the phone has a stylish prism finish, which captures the light and reflects in different shades. It's also textured, which lends the phone a comfortable grip. The Galaxy A02s also has all the...
