iPhone Air vs. Galaxy S25 Edge: Does Thinner Make a Winner?

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-07 12:00:04

When it comes to smartphones, we usually talk about screen size, cameras and battery life. But this year, a new topic has entered the conversation: thin body designs. Carrying a slimmer, somewhat lighter phone has gotten us thinking about which trade-offs are worth the new looks, not to mention premium pricing. So when Samsung released the super-thin Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this year, it got our attention. Naturally, it sparked speculation that Apple would also release a new slim phone, which a

I've Used the Wild Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, and Its Rear Screen Is Bonkers

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-07 11:00:03

There's no escaping that the new Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max have a lot in common with Apple's latest iPhones. The naming conventions, for one thing, Xiaomi conveniently skipped a 16th version of its phones and went straight to calling its new one No. 17. To keep pace with Apple? I couldn't possibly say. Then there's the design, with a rear bar that stretches across the top of the phone's back, much like the camera plateau on Apple's iPhone 17 Pro. Except that Xiaomi's bar is something radically

Apple iPhone 17 review: Sometimes boring is best

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-07 03:10:46

Apple seems determined to leave a persistent gap between the cameras of its Pro iPhones and the regular ones, but most other features—the edge-to-edge-screen design with FaceID, the Dynamic Island, OLED display panels, Apple Intelligence compatibility—eventually trickle down to the regular-old iPhone after a generation or two of timed exclusivity. One feature that Apple has been particularly slow to move down the chain is ProMotion, the branding the company uses to refer to a screen that can re
