The Lava Bold N2 Pro is powered by the Unisoc T7250, a 12nm chip with Cortex-A75 and A55 cores, a Mali-G57 and an LTE modem, featuring a single configuration with 4GB of RAM and 128GB storage.

The Honor 600 and Honor 600 Pro are both unashamedly inspired by the design of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, featuring a 6.57-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and '1.5K' resolution.

Pricing was indeed a major issue for both phones, but don't let that nearly 20% pie slice in the chart fool you - the pricier Pro model was received more favorably, so it's about value for money, not just the price.

With the newest iPhones and Android devices at hand, the crew will be able to be a bit more spontaneous with image and video gathering, meaning that for those of us back home, these upcoming trips to space could end up being some of NASA's most well-documented journeys yet. Imagine how cool (or cringe-worthy) it will be if astronauts turn themselves into TikTok stars in zero gravity, or if they take ultra-wide-angle selfies in the spacecraft.

Smartphones are now the most crucial source of digital evidence in solving nearly every criminal investigation, a report has found. Detectives rely on the wealth of information held on the devices in 97 per cent of cases - double the number in which data from laptops was needed. With the devices containing swathes of detailed messages, photos and location data, police chiefs told the Mail the devices had become 'a crime scene in your pocket'.

Haidt's arguments and approach have been challenged by critics, many of whom point out that causation is not correlation, that his work ignores the many other potential factors at play affecting mental health. Yet, The Anxious Generation has undeniably had a significant impact. Haidt is leading, in his own terms, a "movement," which we have already seen translate into legislation in many states around the U.S. limiting the use of phones in schools.

Manufacturers like to adorn the long lists of features in their smartphone advertising with terms such as Super AMOLED, 120Hz, 5G, AI camera or ultra-wide angle but often this is more marketing than real added value for normal users. Sure, a lot of this stuff can be exciting for tech fans. But for everyday use, some of these extras are just unnecessary.

Technophile Anne Goldberg has become accustomed to formatting PowerPoint presentations in her career as a recruiter. As a result, when she found herself between jobs in the fall of 2013, she was happy when a friend paid her a fee to create a slideshow for a relative's 80th birthday party. The guests loved the display and congratulated Golberg, then 61, on her digital prowess, which dates back to being an early adopter of computers in the 1980s. She thought nothing more of it.

Almost 20 years ago, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the iPhone as "an iPod, a phone, an internet communicator." The world swooned at the time because that one device was all those things, and more. Today it is our wallet, our identity, our social media, our likes, dislikes, fitness levels, bank accounts, as well as our personal, sexual, and political identity.

Honor enjoyed a great 2025! It's been hard to find any losers in the maker's lineup, thanks to thoughtful upgrades and great deals throughout the year. Let's look at how it did. Winner: Honor Pad X9a and MagicPad 3 Honor made a few solid tablets in 2025, but the affordable Pad X9a and flagship MagicPad 3 were able to stamp their authority on markets such as Malaysia, where Honor was the number one tablet maker!
