Think Xiaomi and you’ll almost certainly think of excellent phones at an appealing price point. Poco is a Xiaomi offshoot that takes this same logic and takes it even further, offering even more mid-range phone bang for your buck. I was at the launch of Poco’s F7 Ultra earlier this year in Singapore. It’s a cracking sub-flagship phone for $649/£650 that performs really well. You can get better, but it’ll cost you. Step forward to today and we have the Poco F7, a more vanilla mid-ranger, which sits at the bottom of the range under the inbetweener F7 Pro. However,…

The OnePlus Nord 5 is coming next phones, and it might be a contender for the best mid-range smartphone for the year. That’s because the brand is gunning for the budget photography crown with the Nord 5 by slapping a 50MP camera on the handset. OnePlus promises it’s pulling flagship-grade sensors into the mid-range. On the rear, there’ll be a LYT-700 sensor – the same one used in the OnePlus 13 series. That’s paired with a dual 50MP setup for a pretty solid system. The Nord 5 will use the HDR algorithms from the 13 too. In theory, that should…

Introduction After a month spent wearing the Whoop MG day and night, I’m convinced this is the best fitness tracker I’ve used – with one major asterisk. You see, this thing is more like a pocket-sized clinic you strap to your wrist. With the MG, Whoop has taken its signature screenless design and sprinkled in medical-grade ECG and daily blood pressure estimates. These features transform what was once a simple exercise recovery tool into what feels like the most advanced tracker you can buy. Yet all its smarts come at a price – every month. There’s a certain thrill in…

Google is starting to roll out a feature for Chrome on Android that lets users move the address bar to the bottom of the screen. It’s something that iOS Chrome users have been able to do since 2023, and it could help make the address bar more easily accessible, especially if you are using a phone with a bigger screen. “Depending on the size of your hand and your device, one address bar position may feel more comfortable than the other,” Google’s Nick Kim Sexton says in a blog post. “We designed this update to give you the flexibility to…

Apple poured some good money into making F1 – a Formula 1 racing movie starring Brad Pitt – and it wants its customers to know that. To that end, many people, including some Verge staffers, noticed an unusual Apple Wallet notification this morning that’s both an advertisement and promotion for the film. The notification prompts users to save on movie tickets via Fandango with a promotional code, reading “Save on 2+ tickets to F1 The Movie with APPLEPAYTEN. Ends 6/29. While supplies last. Terms apply.” It looks like Apple’s trying to juice the film’s opening weekend by tempting users into…
