Apple’s all-important fall event is now just days away, so let’s take a look at what’s coming. It’s Apple’s most anticipated event of the year and will bring us the new iPhone 17 lineup.

Galaxy S25 FE, Tecno Spark Slim and Pova Slim arrive, Week 36 in review
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE going official was the most important story of week 36. The phone packs a 4nm Exynos 2400 chipset with 8 GB of RAM, and up to 512 GB of storage. Despite the mostly unchanged SoC, the S25 FE packs a 10% larger vapor chamber for cooling.

Weekly poll: would you buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE?
Almost a full month earlier than last year, the new FE phone is here – the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE brings a couple of key improvements, but is overall a relatively small change from the 2024 model.
Samsung engineers managed to slim the phone down, shaving off 23g off its weight and fractions of a millimeter from each of the three dimensions. The Galaxy S25+ is smaller, though, despite having the same 6.7″ screen. Well, the same size – the Plus actually has a 1440p+ panel and not 1080p+ like the two FEs.

Weekly poll results: the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ is the clear favorite, Pro might also have a shot
Last week, we asked you which of the three Redmi Note 15 models would you buy and we have a definite winner. These are tiered into three different price points, so Xiaomi probably thought that they could co-exist on the market. However, the results for the trio are “yes”, “maybe” and “no”.
The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ is the clear favorite of the group – it’s the first pick for a third of voters, which can go up to half of voters if the phone reviews well. The addition of a 50MP 2.5x telephoto camera proved to be a winning move.
The Redmi Note 15 Pro also has potential – the preference…
