    Google Pixel Watch 5 — specifications, price, and release date

    Google Pixel Watch 5 will debut on August 12, 2026, at the Made by Google event, along with the Pixel 11 series. The watch returns in two sizes: 41 and 45 mm. The biggest change inside is 3 GB of RAM instead of 2 GB and Wear OS 7 with Gemini. Prices start at 419 EUR, which is approximately 1,800 PLN.

    If you’ve been putting off buying an Android smartwatch for a few weeks, you’ve done well. The fifth generation of the Google watch is practically outlined in leaks: we know the battery capacities, charging times, the complete set of sensors, and the prices of all four variants.

    Below you will find the full specification, a price table in PLN, a comparison with the Pixel Watch 4, and the answer to the question every owner of the predecessor asks: will your bands and glasses fit.

    Note: This article was created before the official premiere and is based on leaks and materials that have leaked from sales channels. We will confirm the data on August 12.

    Three items from this table deserve a comment. Dual-frequency GPS is responsible for the accuracy of the track in the city, between tall buildings. UWB (ultra-wideband) is precise short-range location technology used, among other things, for unlocking the car.

    The third is satellite SOS, which is a call for help via satellite outside the range of the cellular network. In Poland, the feature will work if Google makes it available in our market.

    A thickness of 12.3 mm is exactly the same as in its predecessor. The case has not grown by a millimeter, which has very specific consequences for accessories; we will return to this below.

    Our advice: Before you order the watch, check accessories for Google Pixel Watch at homescreen.pl. It’s worth having the strap and glass from day one, not after the first scratch.

    What changes compared to Pixel Watch 4?

    Let’s be clear: Pixel Watch 5 is an iteration, not a generational leap. The same processor, the same case, the same screen. The memory changes, the battery increases by a few percent, and a new version of the system appears.

    Parameter Pixel Watch 5 Pixel Watch 4
    Processor Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 Snapdragon W5 Gen 2
    RAM 3 GB 2 GB
    Memory 64 GB 32 GB
    Battery 41 mm 332 mAh 325 mAh
    Battery 45 mm 465 mAh 455 mAh
    Battery life up to 30 h / 40 h up to 30 h / 40 h
    Case dimensions 12.3 mm 12.3 mm
    System Wear OS 7.0 Wear OS 6 (upgrade to 7.0)
    Starting price 399 USD 349 USD

    The most important item in this table is RAM. Two gigabytes in Watch 4 were a bottleneck for Gemini features. The assistant operates locally on the watch, and the memory ran out faster than it should have. Three gigabytes should eliminate stutters when switching apps.

    The rest of the changes are cosmetic. The battery is 2% larger, with the same declared battery life. The doubled data memory, 64 GB instead of 32 GB, will mainly be useful for offline music. Wear OS 7 will also come to the fourth generation in a regular update.

    However, the price increases by 50 USD. Google does not explain why; it is most likely due to the doubled memory and rising component costs.

    Battery and charging — 30 or 40 hours

    Choosing a size is primarily a choice of endurance. The difference reaches ten hours, which in practice means one full night of sleep tracking.

    Size Battery Standard mode Power saving mode
    41 mm 332 mAh up to 30 h up to 48 h
    45 mm 465 mAh up to 40 h up to 72 h

    Charging times are the same for both versions:

    • 50% in about 15 minutes
    • 80% in 25–30 minutes
    • 100% in 45–60 minutes

    That’s a good result for a watch. A quarter of an hour in the shower is enough to last until the evening. And indeed, in short top-ups, the Pixel Watch is most conveniently used for sleep tracking.

    The 45 mm version with power saving mode lasts up to 72 hours. You can take it for a weekend in the mountains without a charger.

    Health and sensors — what the new Google watch measures

    The set of sensors is complete and matches what the predecessor offers:

    • Optical heart rate sensor with notifications for irregular heart rhythm
    • SpO2 — blood oxygen saturation
    • ECG — single-lead electrocardiogram
    • cEDA — continuous measurement of skin conductance, stress response indicator
    • Skin temperature sensor — night measurement
    • Altimeter, barometer, and compass

    The greatest value of this set is cEDA. The sensor detects microscopic changes in sweating that the body generates under stress before you consciously notice them. In practice, the watch can ask, “Did something just upset you?” at the moment when something really upset you.

    The whole thing is tied together by Wear OS 7 with Gemini. The assistant works on the watch, so questions like “How much did I sleep this week compared to last week?” don’t require reaching for the phone.

    Note: The ECG and heart rate measurement features are wellness tools, not medical devices in the sense of diagnostics. An incorrect reading is a signal to visit a doctor, not a diagnosis.

    Price of Google Pixel Watch 5 and release date in Poland

    Prices have leaked for all four combinations of size and connectivity:

    Variant Price EUR Estimated price PLN
    41 mm, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi 419 EUR approx. 1,800 PLN
    45 mm, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi 449 EUR approx. 1,930 PLN
    41 mm, LTE 519 EUR approx. 2,230 PLN
    45 mm, LTE 549 EUR approx. 2,360 PLN

    Prices in PLN are approximate conversions; the Polish Google price list can differ from a simple euro conversion.

    The release calendar looks like this:

    • August 12, 2026 — presentation at the Made by Google event and start of pre-sales
    • August 20, 2026 — first deliveries to customers

    On the same day, the entire Google Pixel 11 series debuts. If you plan to replace your phone and watch at the same time, it’s worth waiting for the pre-sale bundles; Google traditionally adds a strap or a discount to them.

    The surcharge for LTE is 100 EUR, which is about 430 PLN. It only makes sense if you realistically leave your phone at home: while running, cycling, or swimming. Otherwise, the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi version does exactly the same thing.

    Do accessories from Pixel Watch 4 fit Pixel Watch 5?

    Most likely yes, and this is the most important practical information in this article. The case retains the dimensions of 41 and 45 mm and a thickness of 12.3 mm, just like its predecessor.

    Straps

    In Google watches, the compatibility of the strap is determined by the size of the case, not the generation. The attachment has not changed since the first Pixel Watch.

    • Straps 41 mm are interchangeable between Pixel Watch 1, 2, 3, 4, and most likely 5
    • Straps 45 mm fit Pixel Watch 3, 4, and most likely 5 (the 45 mm size only appeared in the third generation)

    This is even evident in the product names in the store: Bizon Strap Watch Silicone 41 mm for 26 PLN is described as compatible with four generations at once. You can find the full selection in the watch straps category.

    Cases, glasses, and films

    Here, caution is greater because cases and glasses replicate the shape of the glass and the arrangement of the button and crown with an accuracy of tenths of a millimeter. However, since the dimensions of the case do not change, accessories from Watch 4 should fit without reservations.

    Accessory Brand Sizes Price
    Case+Glass Watch (case with glass) Bizon 41 and 45 mm 25 PLN
    Glass Watch Edge Hybrid (hybrid glass) Bizon 41 and 45 mm 19 PLN
    Watch Film HydroFlex (film, 3 pieces) Bizon 41 and 45 mm 25 PLN
    Hydrofilm (hydrogel film) GrizzGlass 41 and 45 mm 11.99 PLN
    Strap Watch Silicone (silicone strap) Bizon 41 and 45 mm 26 PLN
    Strap Watch Aura (steel strap) Bizon 41 and 45 mm 69 PLN

    Our choice: Bizon Case+Glass Watch for 25 PLN: a case and glass in one, so the edge of the case and the convex screen are protected together. If you prefer to keep the original look of the watch, take just the Bizon Glass Watch Edge Hybrid glass for 19 PLN.

    It’s worth knowing the limitation of the offer: accessories for the Pixel Watch in our store come from two manufacturers, Bizon Mobile and GrizzGlass. This is a narrower selection than with the iPhone or Galaxy; Spigen and ESR do not make cases for Google watches. However, the prices are low, and a complete protection set costs 40 PLN.

    The full range awaiting compatibility confirmation can be found in the Google Pixel Watch 4 category.

    Is it worth waiting for the fifth generation?

    The answer depends on what you have on your wrist.

    You have a Pixel Watch 4 — there’s no point. For a starting price that is 50 USD higher, you get an extra gigabyte of RAM and twice the music storage. Everything else remains unchanged.

    You have a Pixel Watch 2 or 3 — yes, it’s worth it. You skip two generations of sensors, get a screen that is twice as bright compared to the second generation, and a realistically longer battery life.

    Buying your first Android watch — wait until August 12, even if you ultimately buy the fourth one. The release of the fifth is the moment when the Pixel Watch 4 noticeably drops in price, and accessories for it are already available immediately.

    Summary

    The Google Pixel Watch 5 is a calm, predictable update without any fireworks, and that is not a criticism. The key facts:

    • Release on August 12, 2026, deliveries starting from August 20, along with the Pixel 11 series
    • Two sizes: 41 mm (332 mAh, up to 30 h) and 45 mm (465 mAh, up to 40 h)
    • 3 GB RAM instead of 2 GB and 64 GB of storage, a real improvement in Gemini’s smoothness
    • The same Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 and the same 12.3 mm case as in the Pixel Watch 4
    • Prices starting from 419 EUR (approx. 1,800 PLN) to 549 EUR (approx. 2,360 PLN) for the 45 mm with LTE
    • Accessories from the Pixel Watch 4 should fit, as the case size determines compatibility, not the generation

    FAQ — frequently asked questions

    When is the release of Google Pixel Watch 5?

    The release will take place on August 12, 2026, at the Made by Google event, along with the Pixel 11 series. Pre-orders start on the same day, and the first deliveries to customers are scheduled for August 20, 2026.

    How much does the Google Pixel Watch 5 cost?

    Prices start at 419 EUR (approx. 1,800 PLN) for the 41 mm version with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The 45 mm variant costs 449 EUR, and the LTE versions are priced at 519 and 549 EUR, respectively. The Polish pricing for Google may differ from the euro conversion.

    What are the differences between the Pixel Watch 5 and Pixel Watch 4?

    Three things: 3 GB of RAM instead of 2 GB, 64 GB of storage instead of 32 GB, and Wear OS 7 instead of 6. The processor, case, display, and declared battery life remain unchanged. The battery increases by about 2%.

    Do the bands from Pixel Watch 4 fit the Pixel Watch 5?

    Most likely yes. In Google watches, compatibility is determined by the case size, not the generation. The 41 mm bands have been interchangeable since the first Pixel Watch, and the 45 mm bands since the third. The fifth retains both sizes.

    How long does the battery last in the Pixel Watch 5?

    The 41 mm version lasts up to 30 hours, while the 45 mm version lasts up to 40 hours in standard mode. In battery-saving mode, it lasts 48 and 72 hours, respectively. Charging to 50% takes about 15 minutes.

    Is it worth buying the Pixel Watch 4 instead of waiting for the 5?

    If price is important to you, then yes. The differences come down to memory and system version, and the Pixel Watch 4 will drop in price after the successor is released. You can buy accessories for the fourth model immediately, including cases and glass protectors starting from 19 PLN, and the Google Pixel Watch 5 has the same case, so you won’t lose anything.

  • Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 – specifications, price, and release date

    Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 – specifications, price, and release date

    Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is set to debut on July 22, 2026, at Samsung Unpacked in London, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Wide, and Z Flip 8. The key changes in the watch include a new processor built on a 3 nm process, an 800 mAh battery (35% larger), and Samsung’s first-ever 5G. Note: these are findings from leaks; Samsung has not yet officially confirmed the date or name.

    Summer is traditionally the time for Samsung’s foldables and watches. This year, the Korean manufacturer is expected to showcase the second generation of its most powerful smartwatch while refreshing the entire line of wearable devices and foldables. Below, we have gathered everything known about the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 launch: the date, leaked specifications, expected price, and a list of phones that will be released on the same day.

    When is the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 premiere?

    The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is expected to be presented on July 22, 2026, during the Galaxy Unpacked conference. According to reports, Samsung is organizing a summer Unpacked in London for the first time, moving away from the previous pattern of holding it in Korea and the USA.

    The date is consistently reported by tech outlets, including Tom’s Guide and PhoneArena. An additional signal that the premiere is near was the passage of the Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 through the American FCC in mid-June 2026.

    Note: As of the publication date, Samsung has not yet sent out an official invitation for Unpacked nor used the name “Galaxy Watch Ultra 2”. Treat the date of July 22 and the specifications as highly probable leaks, not confirmed data from the manufacturer. Official information will appear on the Samsung newsroom.

    Pre-orders usually start on the day of the conference, with retail sales beginning 1–2 weeks later. If the pattern repeats, you will be able to buy the watch in stores at the turn of July and August 2026.

    What’s new in the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2?

    The second generation Ultra is expected to be an evolution, not a revolution — Samsung is refining what was lacking in the first model. Three changes make the biggest difference.

    • New 3 nm processor — the watch is set to receive a next-generation Snapdragon Wear chip (Wear Elite), focused on AI tasks. A lower lithography means higher performance with lower power consumption.
    • 800 mAh battery — an increase of about 35% compared to 590 mAh in the first Ultra. This was the biggest issue with its predecessor, so a longer battery life will be noticeable in daily use.
    • 5G — the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is expected to be Samsung’s first smartwatch with a 5G modem. However, the 5G versions will only be available in select markets (USA, Korea), while in Europe we will receive 4G/LTE variants.

    The rest of the construction is to remain verified: a 47 mm titanium case, a bright AMOLED screen, an additional programmable Quick Button, and resistance to extreme conditions. This is a watch for runners, divers, and those who need equipment that can withstand more than a classic smartwatch.

    Batteryapprox. 800 mAh
    Connectivity5G (USA/Korea), 4G/LTE (Europe)
    CaseTitanium, 47 mm
    SystemWear OS / One UI Watch

    Design of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 — what the leaks reveal

    The most excitement surrounds the appearance. According to the GalaxyTechie account on X, the second Ultra is said to be more angular than its predecessor, and a engraving with numbers from 1 to 12 will appear around the screen. This detail, reminiscent of classic mechanical watches, could clearly distinguish the Ultra 2 from the rest of the smartwatch market.

    One question remains open: will this ring be rotatable, like in diving watches, or will it serve only as decoration? For now, it is unknown.

    The same reports indicate thinner bezels around the display and redesigned buttons on the right side of the case. The round Quick Button is set to be replaced by a flat, wider button in a vivid orange color. These may seem like minor changes, but in a watch worn on the wrist every day, appearance makes a significant difference.

    Note: The above design information is unofficial leaks from social media, not data confirmed by Samsung. The final appearance will only be revealed at the premiere.

    Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 vs Galaxy Watch Ultra — what changes

    If you have the first Ultra, you will most notice the jump in battery life and performance. The rest is cosmetic.

    FeatureGalaxy Watch Ultra (2024)Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 (leak)
    ProcessorExynos W1000Snapdragon Wear Elite (3 nm)
    Battery590 mAhapprox. 800 mAh
    5G✅ (selected markets)
    CaseTitanium, 47 mmTitanium, 47 mm
    ReleaseJuly 2024July 2026

    For owners of the 2024 model, it’s an upgrade “for those who want it,” not a necessity. Longer battery life and a faster chip are tempting, but the titanium case and health sensors remain at a similar level. The switch makes more sense for those with Galaxy Watch 6 or older devices.

    What phones will be launched alongside the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2?

    Unpacked is not just about watches. On the same day, Samsung is expected to unveil a new generation of foldables — and they will be the stars of the conference. The parameters below are based on leaks and have not been confirmed by Samsung.

    • Galaxy Z Fold 8 — larger battery 5000 mAh (up from 4400 mAh), 45 W charging, 50 MP ultra-wide camera, and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. The expected starting price is around $1,999.
    • Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide — new, lighter variant with tablet-like proportions: 7.6″ internal display in 4:3 format, weight around 200 g, and dual 50 MP camera without telephoto lens.
    • Galaxy Z Flip 8 — a clamshell foldable with a 6.9″ internal screen and a large 4.1″ external display surrounding the cameras.

    Additionally, there will be the Galaxy Watch 9 (this generation without a Classic version, according to FCC filings) and Galaxy Glasses, Samsung’s first smart glasses. We wrote more about the foldables in the article about the premiere of Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Wide.

    If you plan to buy a new fold or flip, it’s worth having a case and screen protectors from day one. Check out accessories for Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip, we update the categories with the launch of new models.

    Price and availability in Poland

    Samsung has not yet announced prices, but the predecessor serves as a reference point. The Galaxy Watch Ultra from 2024 started in Poland at around 3,299 PLN, so the second generation should remain in a similar range, possibly with a slight increase.

    In Europe, including Poland, expect a 4G/LTE variant instead of 5G. In practice, the difference is minimal — the watch most often uses connectivity through the phone, and standalone 5G in a smartwatch is more of a curiosity than a real need.

    Accessories for Galaxy Watch Ultra — what to prepare

    Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is expected to retain a 47 mm titanium case, so bands and glasses compatible with the current Ultra should also work with the new generation. We will confirm the final compatibility right after the premiere.

    If you want to have protection ready from day one, check out the accessories for Galaxy Watch Ultra category — you will find among others watch bands and protective screens for the display.

    Summary

    Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 promises to be a solid upgrade where it hurt the most: the 800 mAh battery and the new 3 nm chip address the biggest flaws of its predecessor, and 5G is a novelty in Samsung smartwatches. The premiere is set for July 22, 2026, at Galaxy Unpacked in London, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Wide, Z Flip 8, and Galaxy Glasses.

    Key takeaways:

    • Premiere: July 22, 2026 (leak, no official confirmation from Samsung).
    • Key changes: 3 nm chip, 800 mAh battery, 5G (4G/LTE in Europe).
    • Price: likely starting from around 3,299 PLN, based on its predecessor.

    Are you waiting for the new watch or foldable? Prepare your protection in advance, bands and screens for Galaxy Watch Ultra are available immediately, and we update the categories of new models right after the premiere.

  • Vivo Pad 6 Pro — premiere of the tablet with a 4K display

    Vivo Pad 6 Pro — premiere of the tablet with a 4K display

    Vivo Pad 6 Pro is the flagship tablet with a 13.2-inch 4K display (3840 x 2512 px) with a refresh rate of 144 Hz, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor (3 nm), and a 13,000 mAh battery with 66 W charging. It has 8 speakers with Super Audio 7.0, supports the Vivo Pencil 3 with 16,384 levels of pressure, and a keyboard with a touchpad. Premiere: March 30, 2026 (China), Europe 2026. Price starting from ~2500 PLN (8/256 GB).

    This is the most ambitious tablet Vivo has ever made — and the first one showcased at MWC 2026 in Barcelona with the European market in mind. The 4K display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, a VC cooling system with an area of over 71,000 mm², and up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM — everything indicates a direct attack on the iPad Air and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE.

    ColorsInspiration Purple, Relax Blue, Free Gray

    4K 144 Hz Display — The Sharpest in Class

    The most important element of the Vivo Pad 6 Pro is the 13.2-inch IPS LCD panel with a 4K resolution (3840 x 2512 pixels) with a 3:2 aspect ratio. The 144 Hz refresh rate and 540 Hz touch sampling ensure smoothness both when scrolling pages and drawing with a stylus.

    The peak brightness reaches 1200 nits, and the color accuracy with a Delta E value of ≈ 0.8 makes the tablet suitable for photo and video editing. The panel displays a billion colors in the P3 palette and supports Dolby Vision — movies look truly cinematic on it.

    Proportions 3:2 are a thoughtful choice — compared to the typical 16:10, you gain more vertical space, which you’ll appreciate when working with documents, browsing websites, and drawing. It’s the same aspect ratio that Microsoft uses in the Surface Pro.

    Good to know: Vivo chose IPS LCD instead of OLED — this means no risk of screen burn-in and a lower price, but also weaker contrasts in low light. In daytime use, the difference is minimal thanks to TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue light emission.

    Performance — Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

    The performance is powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — the most powerful Qualcomm processor manufactured using a 3 nm process. The Oryon V3 Phoenix cores reach clock speeds of up to 4.6 GHz, and the Adreno 840 GPU handles even the most demanding mobile games at the highest settings.

    In the AnTuTu benchmark, the tablet scores over 2 million points — that’s flagship smartphone territory and more than any other Android tablet on the market. The UFS 4.1 and LPDDR5X memory ensure lightning-fast data write and read speeds.

    The VC (Vapor Chamber) cooling system with an area of 71,446 mm² keeps the temperature under control even during long gaming sessions or video rendering. You have as many as four variants to choose from:

    • 8/256 GB — for multimedia and everyday work
    • 12/256 GB — optimal for most users
    • 12/512 GB — for content creators with a large file library
    • 16/512 GB — for professionals and power users

    The tablet runs on Android 16 with the OriginOS 6 overlay, which introduces floating windows, desktop mode, and a split screen activated by a two-finger gesture.

    13,000 mAh Battery — up to two days of work

    The Vivo Pad 6 Pro is equipped with a 13,000 mAh battery — one of the largest in any tablet on the market. For comparison: the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE has 10,090 mAh, and the iPad Air has a battery capacity of ~36 Wh (~9500 mAh equivalent).

    In practice, this means:

    • Up to 13 hours of continuous video playback
    • Up to 78 days in standby mode
    • All day of intensive work with documents, browsing, and multimedia

    Charging 66 W replenishes the battery in a reasonable time — it’s not a speed record, but with a capacity of 13,000 mAh, it’s a good result. To charge, you need a USB-C cable and a wall charger with a minimum power of 66 W.

    8 speakers and Dolby Vision

    The Vivo Pad 6 Pro has 8 speakers arranged panoramically around the body — that’s twice as many as in the iPad Air or Galaxy Tab S10 FE. The Super Audio 7.0 technology simulates surround sound, and the system automatically adjusts the stereo channels to the tablet’s orientation.

    Combined with a 4K display and support for Dolby Vision, this tablet turns into a portable mini-cinema. With a thickness of just 6.2 mm and a weight of 663 g, it can still be held in hand, although for longer movie sessions, it’s worth getting a holder or stand.

    Stylus and keyboard — a tablet for work

    The Vivo Pad 6 Pro supports two key accessories (sold separately):

    Vivo Pencil 3 — a stylus with 16,384 pressure levels, a linear motor simulating paper resistance, and a dual tip (soft and hard). It charges magnetically on the tablet’s case and lasts about 15 hours on a single charge. The button on the body allows you to switch drawing modes.

    Smart Touch Keyboard 6 Pro — a keyboard with a full-surface touchpad, magnetically connected via a pogo-pin connector. Adjustable tilt angle up to 140 degrees and a dedicated AI assistant key. In desktop mode, OriginOS 6 turns the tablet into a quasi-laptop with application windows, a taskbar, and mouse support.

    Vivo V70 Camera — ZEISS with Zoom or 200 MP?

    This is the biggest difference between these models and also the most important selection criterion.

    Vivo V70 offers a triple ZEISS system with a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens and 3x optical zoom — something that practically does not exist in the competition at a price below 3500 PLN. ZEISS optics are present in all four lenses (three on the back + selfie), and it records video in 4K at 60 fps with dual stabilization OIS + EIS. The telephoto lens is great for portraits, concert photos, and street photography — it provides natural perspective compression without digital artifacts.

    Vivo V70 FE focuses on raw resolution — the Samsung HP5 200 MP sensor with a 1/1.56 inch matrix. In good light, the photos are full of details, especially in cropped landscape shots. The 30x SuperZoom feature uses excess pixels for digital zooming, but the quality at higher zoom levels does not match the optical telephoto lens of the V70. There is also no separate telephoto lens and ZEISS branding.

    Additionally, there are AI features common to both models:

    • AI Night Mode — frame merging for night photos with noise reduction
    • AI Portrait — background blur with precise subject cutout
    • Scene Detection — automatic recognition of scene types

    Tip: If you often take photos from a distance (concerts, sports, children at the playground), the telephoto lens in the V70 is a game-changer. If you prefer cropping from large files or mainly take selfies and landscapes — the V70 FE will suffice.

    Performance — Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs Dimensity 7360 Turbo

    Vivo V70 is powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 — the latest Qualcomm chip manufactured using a 4 nm process. In the AnTuTu benchmark, it scores over 1.48 million points, placing it well above typical mid-range devices. The Adreno 722 GPU allows for playing Genshin Impact and PUBG at high settings. The UFS 4.1 storage means faster read and write speeds — applications launch noticeably smoother than on UFS 3.1.

    Vivo V70 FE features Dimensity 7360 Turbo — a solid but slower processor. In everyday use — browsing, social media, navigation — the difference is negligible. The gap widens in gaming and multitasking. It has UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 (without X), which is an earlier generation.

    Both models have a VC (Vapor Chamber) cooling system and run on Android 16 with the OriginOS 6 overlay. The manufacturer promises 4 years of system updates and 6 years of security patches. Shared additional features include infrared port (IR), NFC, and Bluetooth 5.4 — the V70 adds Wi-Fi 7 to this.

    Battery — 6500 vs 7000 mAh

    Both models use silicon-carbon (Si/C) cells, which are denser in energy than traditional lithium-polymer ones. The 90 W FlashCharge charges the battery from 0 to 100% in about an hour in both cases.

    V70 FE wins in capacity — 7000 mAh is one of the largest batteries in the segment. The portal GSMArena awarded it a result of over 67 hours of endurance. With moderate use, that’s over two days without charging.

    V70 with a 6500 mAh battery also performs very well — it easily lasts a whole day of intensive use. The smaller capacity is compensated by a more energy-efficient Snapdragon processor and a smaller display.

    To charge both models, you need a USB-C cable and a wall charger with a minimum power of 90 W. For longer trips, it’s worth getting a power bank.

    Vivo V70 and V70 FE Display

    Both panels are 1.5K AMOLED with 120 Hz refresh rate and HDR10+, but they differ in details.

    V70 has a smaller screen of 6.59 inches, but it is brighter — the peak brightness reaches 5000 nits, which is a flagship-level result. Schott Xensation Core glass protects the display.

    V70 FE offers a larger screen of 6.83 inches with a brightness of 1900 nits — still readable in sunlight, but the difference in direct comparison to the V70 is noticeable. The 10-bit panel displays a billion colors in the P3 color gamut.

    Good to know: If you often use your phone outdoors, the 5000 nits in the V70 makes a huge difference in readability in direct sunlight.

    Design and Durability

    Vivo V70 is compact — 157.5 x 74.3 mm and weighs only 187 g. The aluminum frame with a glass or plastic back (depending on the variant) makes it feel secure in hand. Available colors are Golden Hour (sunset gradient) and Alpine Gray.

    Vivo V70 FE is the Fashion Edition — 163.7 x 76.2 mm and 200 g. It features Darkness Glow technology: the back panel in the Muse Purple variant absorbs light and glows in the dark, changing color. Ocean Blue has similar luminescent properties. Despite the 7000 mAh battery, the casing is only 7.6 mm thick.

    Both models have an IP68 + IP69 certification — complete dust resistance and immersion resistance up to 1.5 m. IP69 means additional resistance to water under pressure — a rarity in this price range. Nevertheless, it is worth securing the device — cases and accessories for Vivo V protect the AMOLED display from scratches, which the IP certification does not help with.

    The difference is one thousand złoty — and that is the key question: is the ZEISS telephoto lens, faster processor, and brighter screen worth an additional 1000 zł?

    For comparison with the competition:

    According to the portal GSMManiak, both models are available in Polish stores (Media Expert, RTV Euro AGD, Neonet) with promotional prices at launch.

    Which one to choose? Vivo V70 or V70 FE

    Choose Vivo V70 if:
    – You take a lot of photos and need a telephoto lens (portraits, sports, concerts)
    – You care about the best gaming performance
    – You prefer a compact smartphone (6.59″, 187 g)
    – Screen brightness is important to you (5000 nits)

    Choose Vivo V70 FE if:
    – Battery life is a priority (7000 mAh)
    – You prefer a larger screen (6.83 inches)
    – You want to save 1000 PLN
    – You don’t need a telephoto lens — digital zoom from a 200 MP sensor is enough for you

    Our choice: For most users, Vivo V70 FE for 1799 PLN (on promotion) offers a better value for money. The telephoto lens in V70 is great, but the additional 900 PLN is a significant expense if you’re not a photography enthusiast.

    Summary

    Vivo V70 and V70 FE are two well-thought-out smartphones targeting different needs. V70 is aimed at photographers — a triple ZEISS camera with a 3x periscope telephoto lens and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 for 3099 PLN. V70 FE focuses on durability — 7000 mAh, 200 MP sensor, and Darkness Glow casing for 2099 PLN.

    Both models share an IP68/IP69 certification, 90 W fast charging, Android 16, and solid build quality. Regardless of your choice, it’s worth taking care of protection — check out Vivo smartphone accessories at homescreen.pl.

    OnePlus 15T in Relaxing Matcha color — official photo

    OnePlus 15T is a compact flagship with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 6.32″ 165 Hz display, and a 7500 mAh battery. The smartphone will feature a LUMO periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom — a first for OnePlus’s compact design. The launch in China is expected in the second half of March 2026.

    OnePlus 15T targets a niche that most manufacturers have ignored for years — compact flagships with top specifications. Weighing just 194 g and measuring 8.5 mm thick, the device houses a 7500 mAh battery, the latest Qualcomm processor, and a periscope camera. OnePlus itself calls it a “little demon,” and it’s hard to disagree.

    165 Hz Display in a Compact Body

    The OnePlus 15T will feature a 6.32-inch AMOLED LTPO panel with a resolution of 1.5K (1216 x 2640 pixels) and a refresh rate of 165 Hz. This is the highest refresh rate in OnePlus’s lineup — the standard OnePlus 15 has “only” 120 Hz.

    The screen supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+. It is protected by Crystal Shield Glass, and beneath the panel is an ultrasonic fingerprint reader — faster and more accurate than optical solutions. The display is flat with symmetrically narrow bezels, emphasizing the compact nature of the device.

    For comparison — 6.32 inches is a size similar to the iPhone 16 Pro (6.3″), which many users consider an optimal compromise between one-handed use and content viewing comfort.

    Camera — LUMO periscope with 3.5x zoom

    OnePlus 15T LUMO periscope camera — close-up

    The OnePlus 15T camera setup is a dual configuration: a main sensor of 50 MP (f/1.8, OIS) and a 50 MP LUMO periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom, OIS, and an equivalent focal length of 85 mm.

    The LUMO lens uses the same technology that OnePlus implemented in the 15 model. The periscope design allows for a long focal length to fit in a thin body without a protruding camera module. The f/2.8 aperture in the telephoto lens is typical for this type of solution — comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra or iPhone 17 Pro Max.

    OnePlus opted out of an ultra-wide-angle lens in favor of better quality from the two main sensors. This is a bold decision — but in practice, most users reach for zoom more often than for ultra-wide angles.

    The front camera of 32 MP (f/2.4) will provide good quality for selfies and video calls. Video recording with the rear cameras supports 4K resolution at 30 and 60 fps.

    Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — peak performance

    The heart of the OnePlus 15T is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — the latest flagship processor from Qualcomm manufactured using a 3 nm process. The Adreno 840 GPU handles graphics, while the dedicated P3 chip supports the display.

    The OnePlus 15T has already appeared in AnTuTu with a score of 4.45 million points — one of the highest results on the market. Additionally, it features LPDDR5x RAM (12 or 16 GB) and lightning-fast UFS 4.1 storage options of 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB.

    In practice, this means seamless handling of even the most demanding games, multitasking with several open applications, and instant program launches. The dedicated gaming processor further optimizes the experience in mobile titles.

    7500 mAh Glacier Battery — a record in a compact flagship

    The biggest surprise is the battery capacity. 7500 mAh (Glacier technology) in a smartphone weighing 194 g and measuring 8.5 mm thick — these specifications seemed unattainable in a compact body just a year ago.

    For context: the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has a 5000 mAh battery, and the iPhone 17 Pro — about 3900 mAh. The OnePlus 15T offers nearly double the capacity of Apple’s flagship in a smaller body.

    Wired charging 100 W will recharge the battery in under 40 minutes. Wireless charging 50 W is a convenient alternative, and reverse charging at 5 W allows you to emergency charge your headphones or watch. For longer trips, a power bank will also come in handy — with this battery capacity, a compact 10,000 mAh model will suffice.

    Tip: With a 7500 mAh battery and 100 W charging, one charge will easily last two days of intensive use. If you’re looking for a wall charger with the appropriate power — aim for models 100 W+ with USB PD and PPS support.

    Design — three “dessert” colors

    OnePlus 15T all colors — Matcha, White Chocolate, Pure Cocoa

    The OnePlus 15T is available in three color variants inspired by desserts:

    • Relaxing Matcha — green, reminiscent of Japanese matcha tea
    • Healing White Chocolate — light, creamy shade
    • Pure Cocoa — dark, chocolate brown

    The device has an IP68 rating (submersion up to 1.5 m for 30 minutes) and IP69 (protection against high-pressure hot water jets). This is the highest level of resistance in the smartphone market.

    At a weight of 194 g and a thickness of 8.5 mm, the OnePlus 15T is lighter than many smartphones with smaller batteries. Its compact dimensions and flat screen make it easy to use with one hand.

    Weight ~194 g ~207 g
    Price in Poland unknown from 4,299 PLN

    The OnePlus 15T is a more compact alternative to the OnePlus 15. It has a smaller screen (6.32″ vs 6.82″), a lighter build, and a newer processor — but at the cost of lacking an ultrawide lens. The battery is larger in terms of grams per weight (7500 mAh in 194 g vs 7300 mAh in 207 g). The telephoto lens on the 15T is also better — 3.5x zoom vs 3x in the standard model.

    Release and price of OnePlus 15T

    OnePlus has officially announced the 15T model, but the exact release date has not yet been provided. Everything indicates a debut in China in the second half of March 2026.

    The global premiere — including the European one — is likely to take place 4–6 weeks later, which means April or May 2026. The price in Europe has not yet been revealed, but considering the positioning of the model and the price of the OnePlus 15 (from 4,299 PLN in Poland), the OnePlus 15T should cost similarly or slightly less.

    In the Chinese market, the OnePlus 15T will operate with the ColorOS 16 overlay, while the global version will receive OxygenOS 16 — both based on Android 16.

    Who is the OnePlus 15T for?

    The OnePlus 15T is a smartphone for those who:

    • Prefer compact dimensions and one-handed operation
    • Do not want to give up flagship performance and long battery life

  • Nothing Phone 4a and 4a Pro — specifications, prices, and release in Poland

    Nothing Phone 4a and 4a Pro — specifications, prices, and release in Poland

    Nothing officially presented the Phone 4a and 4a Pro. Prices in Poland start at 1,599 PLN for the 4a model and 2,099 PLN for the 4a Pro. Both smartphones feature a periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom, 1.5K AMOLED displays, and a new Glyph system. Pre-orders for the Phone 4a start today — sales begin on March 13.

    The Nothing Phone 4a series represents the biggest quality leap in the history of the “a” line. Periscope zoom, screen brightness up to 5,000 nits, and the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor are specifications that just a year ago were found only in flagship devices. Nothing poses the question: why pay for a flagship when a mid-range device offers 90% of its capabilities?

    What’s new in the Nothing Phone 4a and 4a Pro?

    The biggest changes compared to the previous generation (Phone 3a / 3a Pro):

    • 50 MP periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom — a huge leap from the 2x zoom in the Phone 3a. Hybrid zoom reaches 70x in the 4a and 140x in the 4a Pro.
    • Brighter screens — 4,500 nits (4a) and 5,000 nits (4a Pro) vs ~2,300 nits in predecessors. Gorilla Glass 7i instead of Panda Glass.
    • New processors — Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 (4a) and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 (4a Pro). The Pro model is ~27% faster in CPU and ~65% more efficient in AI tasks.
    • Revamped Glyph — Phone 4a received the Glyph Bar (63 mini-LEDs in 7 zones), while the 4a Pro got the Glyph Matrix (137 mini-LEDs with animations).
    • Nothing OS 4.1 on Android 16 — 3 years of system updates + 6 years of security patches.
    • eSIM in the Pro model — Phone 4a still uses only physical nano-SIM cards.

    Design — two different approaches

    Nothing surprised, giving each model a distinct visual identity.

    Phone 4a continues the iconic transparent design. Under the Gorilla Glass 7i, the internal components — coils, screws, and PCB structures — are visible. The new colors pink and blue have a tinted layer beneath the transparent panel, creating a subtle, pastel effect.

    Phone 4a Pro is a completely different story. Nothing has given up the transparent back in favor of a metal unibody made of aluminum. It is the slimmest Nothing in history (7.95 mm). It looks more premium, but loses some of its “nothing-ness” character. The transparent elements have been limited to the camera island.

    The common denominator is Glyph. In the 4a model, it is the Glyph Bar — 7 square LED segments in a strip. In the Pro — Glyph Matrix with 137 mini-LEDs arranged in a circular field. The Matrix displays animated notifications, charging progress, and responds to Live Updates from Android 16.

    Camera — periscope in a mid-range for 1,599 PLN

    This is the biggest highlight of the 4a series. The 50 MP periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom and OIS is something that did not exist in the previous generation Nothing Phone 3a. The 50 MP sensor with PDAF and optical stabilization provides sharp photos even in low light.

    The Pro model gets a better main sensor — Sony LYT700c — and a dual hybrid zoom (140x vs 70x in the standard 4a). Both models record in 4K with Dolby Vision and Ultra XDR.

    The new TrueLens Engine in Nothing OS 4.1 adds photographic presets, including “Stretch” developed in collaboration with photographer Jordan Hemingway.

    • Phone 4a: pre-sale from March 5, sales from March 13, 2026
    • Phone 4a Pro: pre-sale from March 13, sales from March 27, 2026

    Both models are available on the official website pl.nothing.tech. Color variants: 4a in white, black, pink, and blue; 4a Pro in black, silver, and pink. Pink and blue colors are available exclusively in the 12/256 GB version.

    Expect availability in Polish electronics stores after regular sales begin.

    Who is Phone 4a for, and who is it for Pro?

    Phone 4a for 1,599 PLN is the choice if you care about the transparent design of Nothing and don’t need the fastest processor. You get a periscope zoom, a great 1.5K screen, and Glyph Bar — all for under 1,600 PLN. The best price-to-performance ratio in the series.

    Phone 4a Pro for 2,099 PLN makes sense if you want a faster processor (+27% CPU, +65% AI), 144 Hz instead of 120 Hz, IP65, eSIM, and Glyph Matrix with animations. The unibody metal construction looks premium, although it loses the iconic transparent style.

    Both models are a very strong proposition in their price ranges. The 3.5x periscope telephoto lens for 1,599 PLN is something that no competitor offers at this price.

    Fans of powerful yet affordable smartphones have reasons to be excited – POCO F7 will debut globally on June 24, 2025. The brand, known for offering great specifications at an excellent price, is preparing another strike in the mid-to-high range.

    This model has everything to repeat the success of its predecessors: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, a huge battery, a 120 Hz display, and IP69 resistance certifications. And that’s just the beginning!

    What else will POCO F7 offer and how does it differ from the Pro and Ultra versions? Below we have gathered all the important information you should know before the premiere.

    Battery and charging

    What battery does POCO F7 have?

    The new POCO F7 has a 6500 mAh battery, providing comfortable usage for up to two days. Although this is less than its Chinese counterpart, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro (7550 mAh), it is still a very competitive value in this price segment.

    The smartphone supports 90 W fast wired charging, allowing it to charge from 0 to 100% in just over 30 minutes. Moreover, POCO F7 also supports 22.5 W reverse charging – useful when you want to charge other devices, such as headphones or a smartwatch.

    Performance and Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor

    The heart of the POCO F7 is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor – a new Qualcomm chip manufactured using 4 nm lithography by TSMC. It is the first smartphone available globally with this chip.

    The processor features one Cortex-X4 core (3.21 GHz) and seven Cortex-A720 cores, as well as next-generation Adreno graphics. It works with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 internal storage, ensuring fast performance in both gaming and everyday tasks.

    In AnTuTu tests, the POCO F7 achieves impressive scores exceeding 2.4 million points – a level comparable to many top models from 2024. Additionally, it features an advanced Ice Loop 3D liquid cooling system with a surface area of 6000 mm², supported by Xiaomi’s Rage Engine 4.0 software.

    How big is the display on POCO F7?

    POCO F7 is equipped with a flat LTPS display measuring 6.83 inches diagonally and a resolution of 1.5K (2772 × 1264 px) with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The panel, made using M9 technology, provides very high image quality and peak brightness of up to 3200 nits. The screen has also been calibrated at 100 and 600 nits, enhancing its readability in various lighting conditions.

    It also features very thin bezels – 1.5 mm on three sides and 1.9 mm at the bottom. Under the screen, there is an optical fingerprint reader.

    Cameras

    What cameras does POCO F7 have? Does it take good photos?

    The smartphone features a dual main camera housed in a sturdy metal module. The main sensor is a Sony LYT600 unit with a resolution of 50 MP and optical image stabilization (OIS). It is accompanied by an 8 MP ultra-wide camera.

    On the front, there is a 20 MP selfie camera, which performs well for both video calls and portrait photos. A light ring with adjustable brightness surrounds the camera module.

    Build and durability

    Is the casing of POCO F7 solid?

    POCO F7 weighs 219 grams and has dimensions of 163.1 × 77.93 × 7.98 mm. The casing with a metal middle frame has increased pressure resistance – according to the manufacturer, it can withstand up to 70 kg of load.

    Noteworthy are the resistance certifications: IP66, IP68, and IP69. Such protection guarantees complete resistance to dust, water, and high-pressure streams, making the F7 one of the most durable smartphones in its class.

    Connectivity and extras

    What other features does POCO F7 have?

    The phone supports the latest connectivity standards: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and has an infrared (IR) port. It also features stereo speakers with spatial effects and Wet Hand 2.0 functionality, allowing the screen to be operated with a wet finger.

    • white,
    • black-silver.

  • Xiaomi Smart Band 10 – what’s new?

    Xiaomi Smart Band 10 – what’s new?

    Xiaomi is preparing another version of its bestselling smart band.
    Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is set to continue the tradition of offering an affordable, lightweight, and functional device for monitoring physical activity and health. While a revolution is not to be expected, several improvements over the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 will certainly attract the attention of those planning to purchase a new band.

    In this article, we check:

    • what is already known about the upcoming model,
    • when we can expect its premiere,
    • what the most important changes and new features are,
    • whether it will be worth switching from the previous generation.

    When is the premiere of Xiaomi Smart Band 10?

    The official premiere date of Xiaomi Smart Band 10 has not yet been announced, but available leaks and ready marketing materials indicate that the premiere is near:

    • premiere in China: probably June–July 2025,
    • global premiere (Europe, Poland): possibly August 2025 — similar to the case of Smart Band 9.

    How much will Xiaomi Smart Band 10 cost?

    The price of Xiaomi Smart Band 10 in Europe is expected to be around 40–50 euros, which is 180–220 PLN. This means that the band should be available for sale at a very similar price to its predecessor.

    Larger AMOLED screen — subtle visual changes

    Screen comparison: Smart Band 10 vs. Smart Band

    Xiaomi Smart Band 10 will feature a larger and brighter AMOLED display (up to 1500 nits brightness), which will significantly improve readability in sunlight — this is one of the most frequently reported needs by users. The bezels around the screen are expected to be thinner and more symmetrical, giving the band a more modern look.

    However, the design remains quite classic: rounded shape, low weight (15.95 g without the strap), three color options (black, white, pink). Importantly — compatibility with straps from previous generations will be maintained.

    Technical specifications and new features of Xiaomi Smart Band 10

    What battery is in Smart Band 10?

    Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 233 mAh — the same as in the previous model (Smart Band 9). The manufacturer claims that the band will be able to work up to 21 days on a single charge, but it is worth noting that this result applies to very economical usage mode.

    In practice, when using:

    • heart rate monitoring,
    • sleep tracking,
    • notifications from the smartphone,
    • active use of sports modes,

    the actual working time will be around 7–14 days, which is still a very good result in this class of devices.

    Charging is done magnetically — we connect the cable to the back of the band without the need to remove the strap.

    System and compatibility

    One of the more interesting changes is the implementation of a new operating system — HyperOS 2.0. It replaces the previous version of the software used in Xiaomi bands.

    The new system is expected to bring:

    • better performance optimization,
    • smoother animations and screen transitions,
    • faster app launches,
    • potentially more options for customizing watch faces and widgets.

    However, it is still unknown whether HyperOS 2.0 will introduce new health features or wider integration with the Xiaomi ecosystem — we will have to wait for these details.

    System compatibility remains very broad:

    • Android 8.0 and newer,
    • iOS 12 and newer,
    • collaboration through the Mi Fitness app (previously known as Xiaomi Wear).

    Sensors and health features

    In terms of hardware, the Smart Band 10 uses proven sensors known from previous generations:

    • accelerometer — for counting steps and recognizing movement,
    • gyroscope — for detecting gestures and accurately tracking wrist movement,
    • electronic compass — useful for outdoor activities,
    • ambient light sensor — automatic screen brightness adjustment,
    • PPG sensor — continuous heart rate measurement.

    Will there be an SpO2 sensor?

    One of the unknowns remains the presence of an SpO2 sensor, which measures blood oxygen saturation levels.
    In promotional materials, Xiaomi has not yet mentioned this feature, which may mean:

    • abandoning it to simplify the design and reduce costs,
    • or adding the feature in a software update (which has sometimes happened in the past).

    For users who place great importance on health monitoring, the lack of SpO2 could be a downside — it is worth keeping this in mind.

    Sports modes and health monitoring

    Xiaomi Smart Band 10 will offer a very rich selection of sports modes — over 150. This means that the band will be suitable for both:

    • people engaging in classic sports (running, cycling, walking),
    • as well as fans of strength sports, HIIT, yoga, fitness, or even niche disciplines.

    Improved swimming monitoring

    Xiaomi has announced better support for swimmers:

    • improved water resistance,
    • more accurate algorithms for counting movements and distance in water,
    • the ability to track swimming style.

    This is good news for those using the band in the pool — Smart Band 9 left something to be desired in this regard.

    More advanced sleep tracking

    Great emphasis has also been placed on improving sleep monitoring:

    • new algorithms for assessing sleep quality,
    • more accurate detection of REM and deep sleep phases,
    • the ability to analyze sleep trends in the Mi Fitness app.

    These are features that are particularly important for users who also use the band at night — not just as a smartwatch during the day.
