Weekly poll results: the Realme GT 7 is great if you can get it at a discount, GT 7T not so much
The Realme GT 7 and GT 7T may have been announced together, but last week's poll suggests that they will go on very different paths in life. The GT 7 is proving to be quite popular, even if the MSRP is high, while the GT 7T has failed to convince most people that it is a good pick. Starting on a positive note, the Realme GT 7 saw a third of the votes go in its favor and a third saying that it's a good phone, but it's pricey. However, that isn't necessarily the case – we saw people in the comments saying that they got great deals on the phone. So if MSRP turned you away, have another look at what your local retailers are offering. The Dimensity 9400e was one of the GT 7 features that got a lot of praise. Great battery life is another big plus. The telephoto camera, even with its short 2x lens, was also a highlight. The Realme GT 7T was not received nearly so well – actually, with only 15% of the vote going in its favor, it wasn't received well at all. The major issue seems to be the price as it puts a phone in a segment with strong competition. There's only €100/₹5,000 between the GT 7T and the GT 7 and the hardware downgrade is quite significant. The Dimensity 8400 is not a great fit for this phone – it's a very capable mid-range chip, but you can get phones near-flagship chips for this price (or lower). And that includes the Realme GT 6, though its relatively short OS update window might keep people away. Realme GT 7 5G Realme GT 7T 5G

vivo Y400 Pro's specs and design revealed by an Amazon listing ahead of launch
Yesterday, we heard about the vivo Y400 Pro, which would arrive as a successor to the Y300 Pro unveiled last September. The Y400 Pro's leaked image revealed its design, and we also learned about its specs. And while there's no word from vivo yet about the Y400 Pro's launch, has listed the Y400 Pro on its website with its official images, giving us our best look yet at the upcoming smartphone. Amazon has posted images of the same white-colored Y400 Pro that we saw previously. It's called Freestyle White, and Amazon says the vivo Y400 Pro will come with the Dimensity 7300 SoC, a 6.77" AMOLED screen, a 5,500 mAh battery, and 90W charging. The Y400 Pro will feature three cameras - a 50MP primary (IMX882), a 2MP auxiliary, and a 32MP selfie. The smartphone will have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage onboard. Amazon says the device will run Funtouch OS 14, which is likely incorrect. There's a high chance we'll see the Y400 Pro boot Funtouch OS 15. vivo Y400 Pro The Amazon listing corroborates the previous leak, which also claimed that the vivo Y400 Pro would have a 256GB storage option, with the AMOLED screen having a 4,500-nit peak brightness. Since the vivo Y400 Pro is already listed on we could see an official announcement from vivo's Indian branch soon. Thanks for the tip! Source

Weekly poll: would you buy the Realme GT 7 or the GT 7T?
The Realme GT series is home to some of the best value-for-money phones on the market and the latest generation is showing great promise. Is the GT 7 or the GT 7T the right phone for you? The Realme GT 7 has excellent build quality, a bright, colorful LTPO display, good stereo sound and a solid camera performance. The Dimensity 9400e chipset is pretty speedy, as is the 120W charging (you have to buy your own adapter, though). The 7,000mAh Si/C battery currently holds the top spot in our battery life chart by quite some margin. Realme GT 7 The Realme GT 7T makes some cutbacks to hit a lower price point. That means a non-LTPO display (otherwise it's a similar 6.8' OLED panel with 6,000 nits peak brightness), a mid-range Dimensity 8400 Max chipset and no telephoto camera. The phone is still rated IP69 and it still has a 7,000mAh Si/C battery with 120W charging, though. Realme GT 7T You can read more about the Realme GT 7 camera in our review. In short the 50MP main camera (1/1.56', OIS) produces good but not great photos day and night, the 50MP 2x telephoto camera (1/2.76', no OIS) is okay but it is held back by the short focal length. On the downside, the 8MP ultra-wide is a bit of a letdown (no 4K videos and no AF), the 32MP selfie camera could have been better too. Realme GT 7 and GT 7T at a glance The GT 7T has basically the same set of cameras, minus the telephoto module. The different chipset will have different processing too, of course. Note that the Realme GT 7 and GT 7T will receive 4 major OS updates and a total of six years of security patches. They launch with Realme UI 6 based on Android 15. Here are the prices for European and Indian markets: Configuration Realme GT 7 Realme GT 7T 12GB/256GB €750/₹43,000 €650/₹38,000 12GB/512GB €800/₹47,000 €700/₹42,000 Realme GT 7 5G Realme GT 7T 5G The GT models compete against the likes of the Poco F7 Ultra (SD 8 Elite, €700), OnePlus 13R (SD 8 Gen 3, €600) and Samsung Galaxy S25+ (SD 8 Elite, €1,150). They all have telephoto cameras – 50MP 2x for the Poco and OnePlus, 10MP 3x for the Galaxy. So, the GT 7T misses out on zooming in, but it still has strengths. The batteries of these phones are smaller, even the 13R with its 6,000mAh capacity is significantly behind. Also, their water resistance ratings aren't as good, the 13R only has IP65, which isn't great for a near flagship. Xiaomi Poco F7 Ultra • OnePlus 13R • Samsung Galaxy S25+ • Xiaomi Poco X7 Pro The Poco X7 Pro (Dimensity 8400 Ultra, €300) doesn't have a tele camera and its 50MP main has a small 1/1.95' sensor. It is cheap, though, and still had enough budget for an IP69 certification. The battery has 6,000mAh capacity in Europe and 6,550mAh in India, charging is 90W in both cases. With all that in mind, is the Realme GT 7 on the short list of phones to consider for your next upgrade? What about the Realme GT 7T, does its slightly lower price tag make it more appealing despite having certain downgrades?

Deals: Realme GT 7 and 7T launch, Xperia 1 VII on pre-order, Galaxy S25 Edge arrives
Several new releases are clamoring for your attention – some come with solid discounts, others not so much. Here's a closer look at the new offerings. The Realme GT 7 is equipped with a Dimensity 9400e – despite the name, this is closer to the 9300 than it is to the 9400. As we note in our review, the chip is fast, but sustained performance is an issue. Still, you get a lot of hardware for the price. This includes a 6.78' LTPO OLED (120Hz, 1264p+, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, 6,000 nits peak brightness) and a 7,000mAh battery with 120W charging and battery bypass. Battery life is quite awesome! The triple camera on the back includes a 50MP main, a 50MP 2x telephoto and an unremarkable 8MP ultra-wide. The phone is rated IP69. It comes with Android 15 out of the box and will receive 4 OS updates and two extra years of security patches. The Realme GT 7T is €100 less, but you give up quite a bit. Not the IP69 rating and not the 7,000mAh battery either (complete with 120W charging and battery bypass). That said, the 6.8' display is a non-LTPO panel (it still reaches 6,000 nits peak, though). Also, the chipset is knocked down to a Dimensity 8400 Max – quite fast, but doesn't challenge flagship chips the way that the 9400e does. The 50MP 2x camera is gone too. Their predecessors are still around – the Realme GT 6 gets you that LTPO panel that the 7T doesn't and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 holds up decently against the Dimensity 8400. This model also has a 50MP main, 50MP 2x tele and 8MP ultra-wide. The battery is smaller – not that 5,500mAh is small (charging is the same at 120W). And the water resistance is only IP64. Realme GT 6 €290 off Read our review 12/256GB - €410 at Amazon DE Then there's the even cheaper Realme GT 6T. The 6.78' LTPO panel (same as the GT) is nice and the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 gets close to the 8s Gen 3. However, we'd rather spend €50 extra and get the higher performance chip and the tele camera (which is missing from the 6T). Realme GT 6T €190 off Read our review 8/256GB - €360 at Amazon DE Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launched this week, which means that the free storage upgrade promo is over. You can get a €50 discount on the 512GB model if you are a Prime Student member, but it's not the same. The Sony Xperia 1 VII launches next week. The phone brings some notable upgrades, but some things (like the telephoto camera) still need work. The longer software support window is nice – 4 OS updates and 2 extra years of security patches. Still, Holy Moly, Batman, what was Sony thinking with that price? Yes, you get a free pair of Sony WH-1000XM5, which are pretty great over-ear headphones, but the new XM6 are even better. The Honor 400 and 400 Pro launched last week. The Pro model is powered by last year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and boasts a 200MP camera (1/1.4', OIS) in addition to a 50MP 3x telephoto and 12MP ultra-wide. The phone is rated IP69 and has a 6.7' 120Hz OLED display. The battery for Europe is only 5,300mAh ('only' because other regions get 6,000mAh) and it supports fast wired (100W) and wireless (50W) charging. The vanilla Honor 400 drops down to a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and an IP65 rating. It also has a slightly smaller 6.55' 120Hz OLED display, but the battery has the same capacity (5,300mAh for Europe) except now with 66W wired-only charging. Honor 400 Read our review 8/512GB - €500 at Amazon DE The Nothing Phone (3a) is one of the few phones in its price range that has a telephoto camera – 50MP 2x (50mm) is on the short side, but it does a fine job. There's also a 50MP main (1/1.57', OIS) and an 8MP ultra-wide. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and a 5,000mAh battery with 50W charging. Its IP64 rating is on the low side for water resistance. Nothing is planning to deliver only 3 OS updates, but the phone will continue receiving security patches for a total of 6 years. About a month ago, Sony raised the prices of the PlayStation 5 in Europe and several other regions. Then Microsoft and Nintendo announced price hikes for their consoles too. Now Sony has cut the PS5 price back down. So, you can have a PS5 (Slim) for €450. Sony PlayStation 5 Slim €100 off You can also pick up an additional controller – the basic DualSense or the DualSense Edge. The Edge has extra controls (paddles on the back), remappable buttons and replaceable analog sticks. We may get a commission from qualifying sales.
