After a one-week hiatus when yours truly was busy roaming Barcelona and covering the latest announcements at MWC 2023 our trending chart is back. And the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s reign is interrupted by the Xiaomi 13 Pro, which took advantage of its global debut and shot to the top.

Samsung’s flagship is still a close second though, so we might see a reverse next week. In the next two spots we have the vanilla counterparts of the top 2 – Xiaomi 13 is third, while the Galaxy S23 is fourth.

Galaxy A53 comes in fifth, while the 13 Lite is six, continuing the Samsung-Xiaomi pattern….

There’s little left in the way of mystery surrounding the Galaxy A54. A few days ago, the phone was featured in yet another massive leak complete with specs and detailed renders. And as far as we know, we don’t even have to wait that long for it to become official as well, with an alleged March 15 announcement date, alongside the Galaxy A34.

Ever since Apple launched its AirPods back in 2016, the competition has picked up the pace and is now offering an incredible range of TWS earphones with ever expanding feature set and at lower and lower prices. Xiaomi takes another shot this year with its Buds 4 Pro earphones, which are more focused on the former than the later.

In fact, they come pretty close to the AirPods Pro and ask more than competitors such as OnePlus’ Buds Pro 2 or even Samsung’s Galaxy Buds2 Pro. At €250, Xiaomi’s Buds set themselves a pretty ambitious target. They have all the bells and…

Realme launched the Realme 10 Pro last November in three colors – Dark Matter, Nebula Blue, and Hyperspace Gold. And a few weeks ago, the company unveiled a limited edition 10 Pro designed in partnership with Coca-Cola, dubbed Realme 10 Pro 5G Coca-Cola Edition. We received one from Realme, so let’s see how it’s different from the regular 10 Pro.

The Realme 10 Pro 5G Coca-Cola Edition comes in a special package that’s a tad taller than the standard model’s retail box. It drops the black-yellow color scheme for a Coca-Cola-inspired black-red theme and features a cropped Coca-Cola logo,…

Motorola unveiled the Moto G Power (2022) in November 2021, so its successor should have arrived by now, but there’s no word from Motorola about its launch yet. However, that doesn’t mean Motorola won’t launch the Moto G Power (2023) since leakster OnLeaks shared its renders today, revealing the smartphone’s design.

The Motorola Moto G Power (2023) is built around a centered punch-hole display, claimed by the source to measure 6.5″ diagonally. And around the back is a rectangular camera island housing three cameras and LED flash.

The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 680 chipset, alongside 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of onboard storage. There is a 4,000 mAh battery on board with 66W fast wired charging. It runs…

So let’s get an unboxing done, then we’ll talk a bit about this powerful smartphone. Honor packages the Magic5 Pro with a case, a 66W charger, and a cable. Our unit is the Meadow Green one.
