    AirPods Max 2 — premiere, price, and specifications of the new Apple headphones

    AirPods Max 2 are new Apple over-ear headphones with the H2 chip, offering 1.5x better active noise cancellation than the previous generation. The price in Poland is 2499 zł, orders start on March 25, 2026, and deliveries will begin in early April.

    Four years of waiting and the same price — sounds like good news. But has Apple changed enough to justify upgrading from the old Maxes? We check what exactly you get for that 2499 zł.

    Chip H2 — serce nowych AirPods Max 2

    Największa zmiana kryje się pod aluminiową obudową. Nowe Apple AirPods Max korzystają z chipa H2 (tego samego, który zadebiutował w AirPods Pro 2), a ulepszenia dotyczą trzech kluczowych obszarów:

    • Lepsza redukcja hałasu — nowe algorytmy obliczeniowe analizują dźwięk otoczenia do 48 000 razy na sekundę, co przekłada się na 1,5x skuteczniejsze ANC niż w pierwszej generacji
    • Lower wireless latency — Bluetooth 5.3 reduces audio lag, which gamers and movie lovers will appreciate
    • Lossless audio support — via USB-C cable, you can listen to music in 24-bit / 48 kHz quality (Apple Lossless)

    The H2 chip also supports personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking — the effect is closest to what you know from the cinema. The result? On paper, it’s the same amplifier with a wide dynamic range, but in practice, the bass sounds fuller, and individual instruments are easier to extract from the mix. The difference is most noticeable in orchestral music and well-produced recordings on Apple Music — with a pop playlist, you might not notice it.

    You can find the full range of Apple over-ear headphones at homescreen.pl.


    New smart features

    The new Apple AirPods Max take over features known from AirPods Pro 3, which were previously unavailable in the over-ear version.

    Adaptive Audio is a feature that makes you stop thinking about headphone modes. Are you entering a café? The headphones automatically let in the voices around you. Are you getting on a train? ANC kicks in at full power. Conversation Awareness works similarly — when you start speaking, the music quiets down, and the voice of the person you’re talking to is amplified. You don’t have to take off your headphones to order a coffee.

    Voice Isolation does the same but in the opposite direction — during a phone call, your conversation partner hears only you, even if you are calling from a busy street. All three features work without any configuration.

    Live Translation requires an iPhone with iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence — so for now, it only works on iPhone 16 and newer. The headphones translate the conversation in real-time, displaying subtitles on the phone screen. It sounds futuristic, but in practice, it’s more of a help in simple conversations than a substitute for a translator. A dozen languages are supported, including Polish.

    Personalized Volume learns your preferences and automatically adjusts the volume level to the surroundings — Marek, who commutes by subway to work every day and then sits in an open space, will appreciate this feature the most.


    Price of AirPods Max 2 in Poland

    Apple AirPods Max 2 cost in Poland 2499 zł — exactly the same as the USB-C version of the original AirPods Max. This is an amount that clearly positions them in the premium segment.

    For comparison:

    ModelPrice in PolandType
    AirPods 4approx. 549 złIn-ear, open
    AirPods Pro 3approx. 1099 złIn-ear, ANC
    AirPods Max 22499 złOver-ear, ANC
    Sony WH-1000XM5approx. 1299 złOver-ear, ANC
    Bose QuietComfort Ultraapprox. 1699 złOver-ear, ANC

    2499 zł for wireless headphones is a lot — almost twice as much as the Sony WH-1000XM5, which regularly compete head-to-head with the Max in blind sound tests. What are you paying extra for? Primarily for integration with the Apple ecosystem: automatic switching between iPhone, iPad, and Mac works so smoothly that after a week you’ll forget you ever manually switched devices. Features like live translation are an additional argument, but — let’s be honest — for most users, it’s a curiosity, not a reason to buy.


    Design and materials — what has changed?

    Short answer: almost nothing. If you placed AirPods Max 1 vs 2 side by side, the only visible difference would be the color. Apple has not changed the shape, weight (386 g — they are still among the heaviest popular over-ear headphones), or construction:

    • Aluminum ear cups with independent rotation provide a perfect fit
    • Mesh headband distributes pressure evenly across the top of the head
    • Memory foam ear cushions — comfortable even during long hours of wear
    • Digital Crown is used to adjust volume and control playback
    • Listening mode button — a new element replacing the noise control button

    What is new is the color palette. Instead of Space Gray, Silver, Sky Blue, Pink, and Green, we get: Midnight, Moonlight, Blue, Purple, and Orange. The particularly bold choice is the orange variant, which stands out against Apple’s typically muted offerings.


    AirPods Max 2 vs AirPods Max — is the upgrade worth it?

    If you have the original AirPods Max with the H1 chip, upgrading to the second generation makes sense in three cases:

    1. You care about better ANC — 1.5x more effective noise cancellation is a noticeable difference, especially in public transport and open spaces
    2. You want Adaptive Audio and Conversation Awareness — smart features that automate mode switching are a real convenience in daily use
    3. You need live translation — if you travel or work in an international environment, Live Translation can be a game-changer

    However, if your current AirPods Max are working flawlessly and you mainly listen to music at home — don’t replace them. The sound quality has improved, but not enough for you to notice a difference during everyday listening on Spotify. It’s better to wait for the third generation.

    Advice: If you have AirPods Max with Lightning, the upgrade makes extra sense — you gain USB-C, which simplifies the cable setup and adds lossless audio.

    For everyday charging, any USB-C charger will suffice — and the full range of all AirPods models and headphones can be found at homescreen.pl.


    Ecology — Apple moves forward

    Apple emphasizes sustainability in AirPods Max 2:

    • 100% recycled rare earth metals in magnets
    • 100% recycled polyester in ear cushions
    • 100% recycled gold and tin in circuit boards
    • Packaging made entirely from paper from natural fibers

    This is a continuation of the Apple Carbon Neutral 2030 strategy, which encompasses an increasing number of product categories. You can find the full specifications of AirPods Max 2 on the official Apple website.


    Summary — who are the AirPods Max 2 for?

    AirPods Max 2 is an evolution, not a revolution. Apple has put a new chip into an old casing and you get genuinely better ANC, smart features from AirPods Pro 3, and lossless audio via USB-C. But you don’t get a new design, longer battery life, or a lower price. These are the best over-ear headphones from Apple that you can buy today.

    Worth buying if:
    – You use multiple Apple devices and value seamless integration
    – You’re looking for top-tier ANC for working in noisy environments
    – You want live translation features or Adaptive Audio

    Consider alternatives if:
    – You don’t need the Apple ecosystem — Sony WH-1000XM5 or Bose QC Ultra offer comparable ANC at a lower price. Compare over-ear headphones with ANC at homescreen.pl
    – You prefer in-ear — AirPods Pro 3 have the same H2 chip for less than half the price

    Our choice: AirPods Max 2 in Northern color — classic, versatile, and you won’t get bored with it after a year.

  • 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 5000 nits, and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor are parameters that just a year ago we found only in flagships. Nothing poses the question: why pay for a flagship when a mid-range phone 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):

    • Periscope telephoto lens 50 MP with 3.5x optical zoom — a huge leap from 2x zoom in the Phone 3a. Hybrid zoom reaches 70x in the 4a and 140x in the 4a Pro.
    • Brighter screens — 4500 nits (4a) and 5000 nits (4a Pro) vs ~2300 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.
    • Refreshed Glyph — Phone 4a received a Glyph Bar (63 mini-LEDs in 7 zones), while 4a Pro got a 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 — dwa różne podejścia

    Nothing zaskoczył, dając każdemu modelowi odrębną tożsamość wizualną.

    Phone 4a kontynuuje kultowy przezroczysty design. Pod szkłem Gorilla Glass 7i widać elementy wewnętrzne — cewki, śruby i struktury PCB. Nowe kolory różowy i niebieski mają barwioną warstwę pod przezroczystym panelem, co daje subtelny, pastelowy efekt.

    Phone 4a Pro is a completely different story. Nothing has given up the transparent back for a metal unibody made of aluminum. It is the sleekest Nothing in history (7.95 mm). It looks more premium, but loses some of its «nothing-like» 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 Pro — Glyph Matrix with 137 mini-LEDs arranged in a circular field. The Matrix displays animated notifications, charging progress, and reacts 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.

    Expect availability in Polish electronics stores after the regular sales begin.

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

    Phone 4a for 1 599 zł 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 zł. 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.

    Apple Watch Ultra 2 vs Watch Ultra 3 – comparison, differences, and cost-effectiveness

    Apple Watch Ultra 3 is an evolution, not a revolution compared to Ultra 2 – both watches look almost identical, but Ultra 3 has a larger display, longer battery life, satellite connectivity, and a 5G RedCap modem. For most users, Ultra 2 will still be a great choice, but if you are just buying a premium smartwatch or need maximum independence in the field – Ultra 3 is the best choice for 2025.

    What does the Apple Watch Ultra 3 look like and how does it differ from the Ultra 2?

    Does the Apple Watch Ultra 3 have a new design?

    On the outside, Apple Watch Ultra 3 looks almost identical to Ultra 2, but the devil is in the details. Apple has retained the distinctive aircraft-grade titanium case (Grade 5) with a size of 49 mm, however, the new model has thinner screen bezels by 24%. This allows the Ultra 3 to offer a larger working area (1.99″ vs 1.92″) without increasing the overall dimensions.

    Interestingly, the case of the Ultra 3 is also thinner (12 mm instead of 14.4 mm), which makes the watch sit better on the wrist.
    The weight remains almost identical – around 61–62 g without the strap, so in everyday use, there is no noticeable difference in weight.

    What materials are used in the Apple Watch Ultra 3?

    Both watches – Ultra 2 and Ultra 3 – utilize the same exceptionally durable titanium and sapphire glassthat is scratch-resistant.
    The construction meets IP6X, WR100 (up to 100 m immersion) and MIL-STD-810H, which is a military standard for resistance to shocks, dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.

    In practice, this means that both Ultra 2 and Ultra 3 are ready for mountain trekking, swimming, and even diving up to 40 m – ideal for outdoor athletes.

    What colors are available for the Apple Watch Ultra 3?

    Apple continues with two color variants:

    • Natural titanium (silver)
    • Black titanium

    These are minimalist, elegant shades that pair well with any strap – from silicone sports to leather and fabric.
    👉 See straps for Apple Watch Ultra 3 at the Home Screen store


    Display, performance, and battery – what has been improved in the Apple Watch Ultra 3?

    Is the display in Ultra 3 better?

    Yes. The Ultra 3 has a newer LTPO OLED 3rd generation panel, which provides better viewing angles, deeper blacks, and greater energy efficiency.
    Although the brightness remains the same (3000 nits), in practice, the Ultra 3 is more readable in sunlight and has a smoother always-on mode with a refresh rate of 1 Hz – for the first time on the Apple Watch, you can constantly see the second hand.

    The resolution has increased from 410×502 px to 422×514 px, which is not revolutionary but improves the sharpness of dials and the readability of maps in training mode.

    Does the new S10 processor make a difference?

    The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is powered by S10 SiP chip, which replaced S9 from Ultra 2.
    The differences in speed are minimal, but S10 is more energy-efficient, which combined with the new display gives a real +6 hours of battery.
    The new chip also enables wrist flick gesture (waving the wrist for control) and better processing of AI features with watchOS 26.

    How long does the Apple Watch Ultra 3 last on battery?

    Apple declares:

    • Ultra 2: up to 36 h of normal use
    • Ultra 3: up to 42 h (normally) or 72 h in power-saving mode

    Tests confirm that Ultra 3 actually lasts even 2–3 days with typical use (with Always-On Display).
    Fast USB-C charging in 15 minutes adds about 12 h of usage.

    Connectivity and new features

    5G, satellite, and greater independence

    Apple Watch Ultra 3 is the first Apple smartwatch with support for 5G RedCap networks and satellite SOS connectivity.
    Thanks to this, the watch can connect to the network even in places where there is no GSM coverage.
    The Emergency SOS via Satellite feature allows you to send an emergency message and GPS coordinates to emergency services or emergency contacts — it works similarly to iPhone 14 and 15.
    This solution is mainly aimed at people engaged in trekking, sailing, or off-road activities, where lack of coverage is a real problem.

    The new modem 5G RedCap improves coverage and energy efficiency, not offering the full 5G speed known from smartphones, but sufficient for maps, notifications, or Siri.
    In Poland, the 5G Standalone feature is already being implemented by operators, so Ultra 3 will be fully compatible in the coming months.

    Additional connectivity enhancements

    • improved antenna layout (better coverage in difficult terrain),
    • UWB 2nd gen. – precise device locating in the “Find” app,
    • dual GPS L1+L5 – accurate route tracking even in mountains and cities,
    • Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 4 (2.4 / 5 GHz) with lower power consumption.

    These enhancements make Ultra 3 the most “independent” Apple smartwatch so far – it operates independently from the iPhone, even in the field.

    Health and sports features

    Both generations of the Apple Watch Ultra offer a wide range of health sensors, however, the Ultra 3 expands their capabilities programmatically.
    The watch monitors heart rate (optical 3rd gen), ECG, blood oxygen (SpO₂), body temperature, and detects falls and accidents (Crash Detection).

    The new features in Ultra 3 are:

    • notifications for hypertension,
    • Sleep Score – daily sleep quality rating,
    • Workout Buddy – an AI smart coach from Apple Intelligence, analyzing progress and motivating during workouts.

    In terms of sports, both models offer:

    • measurement of running power, stride length, and ground contact,
    • precise GPS L1+L5 and barometric altimeter,
    • Multi-sport mode (triathlon, cycling, swimming, climbing),
    • 86 dB emergency siren and Backtrack mode (return navigation).

    The watches are waterproof up to 100 m, resistant to seawater and dust, and thanks to the EN13319 certification, they can serve as a dive computer.


    Software and support

    How long will Apple update these watches?

    Apple is known for its long support of its devices, and the Ultra series is no exception.
    Apple Watch Ultra 2 debuted with watchOS 10, and after updates, it now runs on watchOS 26, while Ultra 3 comes factory-installed with this version.

    How long will support last?

    • Ultra 2 – security and system updates expected until around 2028,
    • Ultra 3 – full support until 2030.

    This means that by purchasing Ultra 3, you gain two more years of updates, and consequently – a longer device lifespan and access to new Apple Intelligence (AI) features that may require a newer chip S10.

    Compatibility and ecosystem

    Both models work with iPhone 11 or newer (running iOS 26).
    Thanks to integration with the Apple ecosystem, users can take advantage of:

    • Apple Fitness+ (workouts with trainers),
    • Apple Pay (contactless payments),
    • Apple Music and Podcasts,
    • health data synchronization in iCloud.

    Ultra 3 and Ultra 2 also have full accessory compatibility – 49 mm bands and chargers are interchangeable between generations.


    Is it worth buying Apple Watch Ultra 3 instead of Ultra 2?

    For most users, the differences between Ultra 2 and Ultra 3 are not revolutionary, but real.
    The new model is more efficient, lasts longer on battery, supports 5G and satellite communication, and has longer support.

    When is it better to choose Ultra 3?

    • if you do not yet have a watch from the Ultra series,
    • if you often stay out of network coverage (mountains, sailing, travel),
    • you want the most future-proof model with 5G and SOS via Satellite,
    • you care about an AI trainer and longer battery life.

    When is it better to buy Ultra 2?

    • when you have a limited budget – the price difference is often 400–600 PLN,
    • if you mainly use the watch in the city and do not need satellite connectivity,
    • if you already have Ultra 2 – switching does not make much economic sense.

    In terms of cost-effectiveness, a simple rule can be applied:

    🔹 New users → choose Ultra 3
    🔹 Ultra 2 owners → stick with the current model

    💬 Opinie użytkowników i recenzje

    Recenzenci (The Verge, Tom’s Guide, MacRumors) zgodnie podkreślają, że Ultra 3 to świetny smartwatch, ale bardziej dopracowanie niż rewolucja.
    Nowe funkcje są wartościowe głównie dla osób, które potrzebują ich w praktyce (outdoor, bezpieczeństwo, sport).

    „Ultra 3 jest dla tych, którzy jeszcze nie mają Ultra — dla posiadaczy Ultra 2 to raczej luksus, nie konieczność.” — The Verge

    Users praise primarily the longer battery life, larger screen, and the sturdiness of the construction.

    At first glance: iPad Pro M5 and M4 are very similar in terms of base specifications – both come in the same sizes and have fantastic OLED displays, identical cameras, and enclosures. The biggest differences lie in performance and internal components: the M5 chip delivers higher performance than the M4, M5 models have more RAM in cheaper configurations, as well as newer connectivity modules (Wi‑Fi 7, 5G C1X modem) and fast charging capability.


    Screen and design – does the iPad Pro M5 have a better display than M4?

    The same Ultra Retina XDR OLED screen

    Both the iPad Pro M4 and M5 have the identical top-of-the-line Ultra Retina XDR OLED screen with ProMotion 120 Hz technology and full HDR support (1600 nit peak). It is the same tandem OLED panel that Apple introduced in 2024 and still has no competition in the tablet world.

    The image quality is phenomenal: perfect blacks, high contrast, and a wide P3 color gamut. Both models provide smooth scrolling and responsiveness that no other tablet offers. In practice, you won’t notice a difference between the M4 and M5 screens – Apple didn’t need to change it, as it had already reached a «reference» level.

    Design – cienki, lekki i solidny

    Obie generacje iPadów Pro mają taką samą konstrukcję z aluminium lotniczego, z płaskimi krawędziami i bardzo małymi ramkami.
    Wymiary i waga pozostały identyczne:

    • iPad Pro 11″ – 5,3 mm grubości, ok. 470 g
    • iPad Pro 13″ – 5,1 mm grubości, ok. 570 g

    To wciąż najcieńsze tablety na rynku. Nowością w iPadzie Pro M5 jest kolor Space Black (czarny), który zastąpił dotychczasową gwiezdną szarość. Dla wielu użytkowników to drobna, ale pożądana zmiana estetyczna.

    💡 Check also cases for iPad Pro 13″ or cases for iPad Pro 11″, to properly protect this ultra-thin design from scratches.

    Front camera – now in a better place

    The most practical change concerns the position of the front camera. In the iPad Pro M5, it has been moved to the longer edge, so during horizontal conversations you look directly into the lens.
    In the M4, the camera was on the shorter side, so in horizontal orientation it gave the impression of a “side glance.” If you often hold online meetings or video lessons – this improvement really makes a difference.


    Performance and computing power – Apple M5 vs M4

    How big is the performance difference between M4 and M5?

    The Apple M5 chip is an improved version of the M4 chip, made in the same 3 nm process, but with a new core architecture.

    • CPU: up to 15% faster, with better power management,
    • GPU: up to 40% more powerful, with support for 3rd generation ray tracing,
    • Neural Engine: even 4× faster in AI tasks.

    In everyday use (notes, browsing the web, movies) the differences are minimal. But if you work with RAW files, design in Procreate, edit 4K videos in LumaFusion, or use AI applications – M5 will provide a real increase in work comfort.

    More RAM in cheaper models

    This is a significant change.

    • iPad Pro M4 (256/512 GB) → 8 GB RAM
    • iPad Pro M5 (256/512 GB) → 12 GB RAM

    For demanding applications, this is a big difference – M5 handles multitasking better and keeps more projects open without refreshing. The 1 TB and 2 TB versions in both models have 16 GB RAM.

    Faster disk and memory

    M5 korzysta z nowszych modułów SSD NVMe, oferujących nawet 2× szybszy odczyt i zapis danych. Zwiększono też przepustowość pamięci do 153 GB/s (z 120 GB/s w M4).
    Efekt: krótsze czasy ładowania aplikacji, szybsze przenoszenie dużych plików i płynniejsze działanie w profesjonalnych aplikacjach.


    Bateria i ładowanie – czy iPad Pro M5 działa dłużej?

    Czas pracy

    Apple deklaruje taki sam czas działania: do 10 godzin Wi-Fi lub 9 godzin w sieci 5G.
    W praktyce iPad Pro M5 ma nieco lepszą efektywność energetyczną – dzięki nowszemu procesorowi i modemowi zużywa mniej energii pod dużym obciążeniem (np. podczas streamingu 4K czy pracy na 5G).

    Szybkie ładowanie – wreszcie!

    The biggest novelty is fast charge.
    The iPad Pro M5 can be charged up to 50% in about 30 minutes using a 40W or stronger power adapter (e.g., a MacBook charger).
    The M4 model did not support fast charging and needed over an hour for a similar result.
    This is a huge advantage if you use the iPad outdoors or want to quickly recharge it between meetings.

    Cameras and multimedia – does M5 take better photos?

    Rear setup unchanged

    Both models have the same layout:

    • main camera 12 Mpix (f/1.8),
    • ultra-wide 10 Mpix (123°),
    • LiDAR scanner for AR and autofocus.

    The quality of photos and 4K video remains the same. Apple did not change the sensors or optics. These are solid cameras for scans and recordings, but they still do not match the Pro iPhones.

    Front camera – practical change

    The 12 Mpix module with Center Stage remains the same, but its position (on the longer side in M5) significantly improves the comfort of video conferencing.

    Sound and multimedia

    The system of four stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos remains unchanged. The sound is still fantastic – full and loud, even without headphones.
    Both iPads lack a 3.5 mm Jack socket, but you can use USB-C or Bluetooth headphones.


    Connectivity and accessories – what’s new in the iPad Pro M5?

    Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6

    The new connectivity chip in M5 supports the Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard, providing higher speeds and lower latencies.
    M4 remains with Wi-Fi 6E.
    Bluetooth 6 allows simultaneous audio connections and better energy management – these are future-proof features that you will appreciate over time.

    5G C1X modem

    The iPad Pro M5 received Apple’s proprietary C1X modem instead of the Qualcomm chip. It is even 50% faster and consumes less energy.
    If you often work in the field, M5 will provide more stable connections and fewer signal «drops».

    Accessory compatibility

    Full compatibility in both directions:

    • Apple Pencil 2 and Apple Pencil Pro work with M4 and M5,
    • Magic Keyboard (old and new with function keys) fits both models,
    • the same Smart Connector and magnetic mounts.

    No need to buy new accessories when changing iPads – that’s a big plus.

    Is it worth paying extra for the iPad Pro M5?

    When to choose M5

    • You work with video, 3D graphics, design, or AI.
    • You often use a 5G modem and care about faster transmission.
    • You need fast-charge and modern connectivity standards.
    • You want hardware with longer system support (iPadOS 26+).

    When M4 is enough

    • Używasz iPada do notatek, filmów, gier i codziennych zadań.
    • Nie potrzebujesz najszybszych sieci ani szybkiego ładowania.
    • Liczy się dla Ciebie niższa cena – M4 oferuje 90 % możliwości M5, często w promocji tańszy o kilkaset złotych.

    • Xiaomi 17 offers an LTPO AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.3″, a resolution of 2656 × 1220 px (~464 ppi) with an adaptive refresh rate of 1-120 Hz, but with a maximum brightness of up to 3500 nits and Dragon Crystal Glass 3 protective glass.

    🔎 What does this mean in practice

    • In strong sunlight conditions, the Xiaomi 17 screen will be more readable due to its higher brightness – which translates to better visibility outdoors.
    • LTPO z zakresem 1–120 Hz oznacza, że częstotliwość odświeżania może być dynamicznie dopasowana w zależności od treści, co pomaga w oszczędzaniu baterii – obie generacje mają tę funkcję, ale 17-tka to bardziej dopracowane rozwiązanie.
    • Wyższa jasność i nowsze szkło ochronne w Xiaomi 17 oznaczają także lepszą wytrzymałość i mniejsze ryzyko refleksów lub utraty czytelności w słońcu.
    • Choć zmiana rozmiaru ekranu jest minimalna (6,36″ → 6,3″), Xiaomi 17 zyskuje na kompaktowości i lepszym stosunku proporcji, przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu znakomitej jakości obrazu.

    W serii Xiaomi 17 (Pro i Pro Max) pojawiają się dodatkowe ulepszenia:

    • Dla wariantów Pro i Pro Max dostępny jest ekran pomocniczy z tyłu obudowy o przekątnej ok. 2,7″-2,9″ – który może służyć jako podgląd aparatów lub wyświetlać powiadomienia. 
    • Wyższa jasność (3500 nitów) utrzymana również w Pro/Pro Max, co oznacza, że niezależnie od wersji otrzymujesz topowy panel.

    ✅ Wniosek

    Jeżeli priorytetem jest najlepszy ekran — czyli doskonała jasność, szybka adaptacja odświeżania i lepsze szkło ochronne — wtedy Xiaomi 17 wypada lepiej niż Xiaomi 15. Jeśli jednak używasz smartfona głównie w normalnych warunkach i nie zależy Ci na ekstremalnej jasności czy ekranie tylnym w wersji Pro/Pro Max — ekran Xiaomi 15 wciąż sprosta większości zastosowań.

    Aparat Leica w Xiaomi 15 i 17

    Który robi lepsze zdjęcia?

    W sekcji aparatów oba smartfony stoją na bardzo wysokim poziomie, ale Xiaomi 17 wprowadza kilka znaczących ulepszeń w porównaniu do Xiaomi 15.

    • W Xiaomi 15: tylny zestaw trzech aparatów 50 MP (główny f/1.62 + ultraszeroki f/2.2 + tele f/2.0, 2,6× zoom) zgodnie z testem DXOMARK.
    • W Xiaomi 17: również trzy aparaty po 50 MP każdy, ale z nowszym sensorem Light Fusion 950 (1/1.31″, f/1.67) i ultrawide 50 MP f/2.4, tele 50 MP 2,6× zoom (a w wariantach Pro/Pro Max nawet 5× zoom optyczny). 
    • Kamera przednia w Xiaomi 17: 50 MP z PDAF i autofokusem — w Xiaomi 15 było 32 MP bez AF

    What does it mean in practice?

    • Better photo quality in low light: a larger sensor and improved lens in Xiaomi 17 mean more light, less noise, and better dynamic range (in Pro/Pro Max versions with LOFIC technology for 16.5 EV). 
    • Better zooms: the basic model 17 maintains a 2.6× zoom, but the Pro and Pro Max versions are equipped with a 5× telephoto lens with a larger sensor – providing a real advantage when photographing from a distance. 
    • Higher selfie detail: 50 MP with autofocus in 17 is definitely an improved front camera compared to 32 MP without AF in 15.
    • New features and processing: The 17 series uses newer Leica AI algorithms and better optics — effectively improving colors, contrast, and depth.

    ✅ Conclusions

    If the camera is a priority for you, then the Xiaomi 17 takes photography and video to the next level: better zooms, better sensor, more details.
    However, if your needs are standard — photos, videos, social media — the Xiaomi 15 still delivers great results and may be a more cost-effective choice.

    💸 Conclusion: if you want to save money – choose Xiaomi 15. If you care about maximum performance and battery – Xiaomi 17 will be a better choice.


    🏁 Final opinion – which model to choose?

    After analyzing all key aspects — performance, screen, cameras, battery, system, and price — here’s a summary of which model will be the best in a specific situation:

    • Xiaomi 17 – the “basic” flagship of the 17 series: Gen 5 processor, large battery (~7000 mAh), improved camera and screen — still a huge leap compared to the 15 series, but in a more accessible size.

    What does the Poco F8 Ultra and F7 Ultra casing look like?

    What distinguishes the Denim Blue version with Bose subwoofer?

    Poco F8 Ultra in the Denim Blue variant stands out with its vivid, unique design. The back with a texture resembling denim fabric gives the device a stylish yet modern character. It is not real fabric, but the visual and tactile effect is very realistic. At the top of the casing, there is a Bose logo, indicating an unusual addition – a third low-frequency speaker acting as a subwoofer. As a result, the F8 Ultra offers fuller, deeper sound than most smartphones – especially when playing music and movies without headphones.

    Are both smartphones waterproof?

    Both Poco F7 Ultra and F8 Ultra are designed with everyday durability in mind. Both models feature a metal frame, which ensures structural solidity and an elegant finish. Additionally, they meet the IP68 standard, meaning they are resistant to dust and immersion in water – up to a depth of 1.5 m for a maximum of 30 minutes. This is a useful feature, especially in the rain, during workouts, or on vacation.

    Dimensions and comfort – which model fits better in hand?

    ModelDimensions (mm)Weight
    F8 Ultra163.33 × 77.82 × 8.05220 g
    F7 Ultra160.26 × 74.95 × 8.39212 g

    F8 Ultra has slightly larger dimensions, but at the same time is thinner than its predecessor. With rounded edges and a well-balanced center of gravity, it remains comfortable to use, even with one hand. F7 Ultra is lighter and narrower – more compact, which may be appreciated by those who prefer smaller devices.

    What colors are the models available in?

    • Poco F7 Ultra: classic black and intense, recognizable yellow
    • Poco F8 Ultra: elegant black, pure white and unique Denim Blue

    The Denim Blue version is the strongest stylistic accent in the POCO offer – it combines aesthetics with functionality (Bose speaker) and makes the device stand out from the competition.

    ➡️ Check the case for Poco F7 Ultra, if you want to protect the device without losing style.

    ➡️ In the case of F8 Ultra, check accessories for Poco F8 Ultra – you will soon find all the necessary additions there, such as tempered glass for Poco F8 Ultra or case for Poco F8 Ultra.


    Poco F8 Ultra display vs F7 Ultra

    Larger screen vs higher resolution – which gives a better effect?

    Poco F8 Ultra has a larger, 6.90-inch AMOLED LTPS display with a resolution of 1200 × 2608 px (~416 ppi). The 19.5:9 aspect ratio makes the screen wider and more spacious, ideal for movies, multitasking, and gaming.

    Poco F7 Ultra has a smaller, but noticeably sharper screen: 6.67″ WQHD+ (1440 × 3200 px), which gives as much as ~526 ppi. This is noticeably better detail, especially when reading small fonts or browsing photos.

    Refresh rate and brightness – can you see the differences?

    • Both models offer smooth 120 Hz, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision.
    • F8 Ultra: up to 3500 nits brightness – the screen is great to see in sunlight.
    • F7 Ultra: also very bright (up to 3200 nits), but slightly lags behind the newer model.

    In summary:

    •  F7 Ultra – more detailed image, ideal for working with text
    • F8 Ultra – larger, brighter screen, great for multimedia

    Processor and performance – which Poco is stronger in everyday use?

    Snapdragon 8 Elite vs Elite Gen 5 – how do they perform in tests?

    Poco F7 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite (SM8750-AB) processor with a clock speed of up to 4.32 GHz. At the time of its release, it was one of the most powerful mobile chips, offering excellent performance in games and applications.

    F8 Ultra goes a step further — it features the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (SM8850-AC) with a clock speed of up to 4.6 GHz and improved energy architecture (3 nm). In benchmarks like AnTuTu, the differences are clear:

    • AnTuTu: F8 Ultra approaches 3.86 million points, F7 Ultra around 2.63 million
    • Geekbench: F8 Ultra has about 24–25% higher single-core and multi-core performance

    RAM and storage – has anything changed?

    Both smartphones offer top configurations:

    • 12 GB or 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM
    • 256 GB or 512 GB UFS 4.1 storage
    • ❌ No microSD card slot – you cannot expand the storage

    System performance, loading applications or games with maximum details – in both cases it works great, but F8 Ultra provides a greater power reserve for the future.

    Summary:


    Camera – is Poco F8 Ultra the new leader in mobile photography?

    What can the main lenses in F8 Ultra and F7 Ultra do?

    Both models have very good, 50-megapixel main cameras with a large aperture (f/1.6–1.7) and optical image stabilization (OIS). This guarantees great photos during the day, good effects after dark, and smooth shots in motion.

    However, differences appear with additional lenses.

    Poco F8 Ultra – strong advantage in zoom and wide angle

    • Ultrawide angle: 50 Mpix (vs 32 Mpix in F7 Ultra) – better detail and less distortion
    • Periscope telephoto lens: 50 Mpix with 5x optical zoom and OIS (vs 2.5x zoom in F7 Ultra)
    •  Front camera: 32 Mpix – in F8 Ultra records 4K, in F7 Ultra only 1080p

    F8 Ultra zapewnia lepsze zbliżenia, więcej detali i bardziej zaawansowane możliwości fotograficzne. Dodatkowo dzięki peryskopowi zdjęcia z dużej odległości zachowują ostrość i jakość.

    F7 Ultra – nadal bardzo solidna optyka

    • Świetny aparat główny z OIS
    • 2,5x zoom optyczny przy teleobiektywie
    • Dobre ujęcia dzienne i nocne
    • Selfie z przodu w 32 Mpix

    W skrócie:

    •  F8 Ultra – lepszy zoom, lepszy szeroki kąt, lepsze wideo z selfie
    •  F7 Ultra – dobry aparat główny, przyzwoity teleobiektyw

    Bateria i ładowanie – który Poco działa dłużej, a który ładuje się szybciej?

    Who has a bigger battery and better runtime?

    POCO F8 Ultra clearly wins in terms of capacity – it has a 6500 mAh battery that provides a very long operating time even with intensive use. POCO F7 Ultra has a slightly smaller battery 5300 mAh, which also lasts all day, but offers a shorter screen-on time.

    How does fast charging and wireless technology look?

    F7 Ultra supports very fast 120 W wired charging (full charge in about 30 minutes), as well as 50 W wireless and 10–15 W reverse charging.
    F8 Ultra supports 100 W wired charging50 W wireless and 22.5 W reverse charging.

    ➡️ For the older model, there are also chargers for Poco F7 Ultra, perfect for fully utilizing its capabilities.


    System and software – does the new Android and HyperOS make a difference?

    Android 16 vs Android 15 – what has changed?

    Poco F8 Ultra debuts with the latest system Android 16, complemented by HyperOS 3, which is the next version of the Xiaomi overlay created after moving away from MIUI. This system offers better optimization, AI support, smoother animations, and better integration with other Xiaomi devices.

    Poco F7 Ultra uses Android 15 and HyperOS 2, which still provides great smoothness, but may receive one update less in the future.

    What does HyperOS offer in practice?

    • Advanced interface customization
    • Intelligent memory manager
    • Gaming mode and advanced sound options
    • Longer support for F8 Ultra (Android updates + security)

    In everyday use, both phones operate very smoothly. But if you care about longer support and newer AI featuresF8 Ultra is a better future-proof choice.


    Memory and storage – is it worth paying extra for the 512 GB version?

    What memory variants do Poco F8 Ultra and F7 Ultra offer?

    Both models are available in identical configurations:

    • 12 GB or 16 GB RAM (standard LPDDR5X – fast and energy-efficient)
    • 256 GB or 512 GB internal storage (UFS 4.1 – very fast read/write)

    This means that regardless of the model, you can count on top performance in multitasking, gaming, video editing, or storing large files.

    Can memory be expanded with a microSD card?

    ❌ Unfortunately no. Neither F8 Ultra nor F7 Ultra have a memory card slot. This means that it is worth deciding on the right capacity right away – if you take a lot of photos, record 4K video, use many games or offline applications, the 512 GB variant will be a safer choice.

    Short comparison:

    • Both models offer fast memory and a large amount of RAM
    • No microSD – the choice of capacity matters right away
    • F8 Ultra with 512 GB is a sensible investment «for years»

    Do both models have 5G, Wi-Fi 7 and modern ports?

    Yes – both Poco F8 Ultra and F7 Ultra support the latest connectivity standards:

    • 5G dual SIM (supports two nanoSIM cards simultaneously)
    • Wi-Fi 7 – the fastest standard, backward compatible with Wi-Fi 6 and 5
    • Bluetooth:
      • F8 Ultra: 6.0
      • F7 Ultra: 5.4
    • NFC – for contactless payments on both

      • F8 Ultra: USB 3.2
      • F7 Ultra: USB 2.0

    • F8 Ultra: the first smartphone with triple 2.1 speaker system – two stereo + Bose subwoofer
    • F7 Ultra: stereo with Dolby

    ✅ larger battery (6500 mAh)
    ✅ stronger processor (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5)
    ✅ better additional cameras (5x zoom, 50 Mpix ultra wide)

    FAQ — most common questions about Pixel 10a accessories

    Does the Pixel 10a support MagSafe?
    Not natively. The Pixel 10a has Qi standard (10W), but not MagSafe or Qi2. Cases with a built-in magnetic ring (e.g., Ringke Fusion Magnetic, Tech-Protect Flexair MagSafe) add compatibility with MagSafe accessories.

    Do cases from the Pixel 9a fit the Pixel 10a?
    No. The Pixel 10a has different dimensions (153.9 x 73 x 9 mm) than the Pixel 9a. Cases are not interchangeable between models. Tempered glasses may be compatible — e.g., Tech-Protect Glass Fit+ is labeled as “Pixel 9a / 10a».

    What charger for the Pixel 10a?
    A USB-C charger with PD (Power Delivery) of at least 30W. This provides full charging speed — 50% battery in 30 minutes.

    Is the Pixel 10a waterproof?

    Does the Pixel 10a have a glass back?

    iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra – which flagship to choose in 2026?

    If you care about the Apple ecosystem, stability, and great video — the better choice will be the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

    On the other hand, if you prioritize maximum specifications, a 200 MP camera, S Pen, and greater control over the system — the Galaxy S26 Ultra offers more technology.

    6,299 PLN for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. 6,499 PLN for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. The difference? 200 PLN and two completely different ecosystems. On paper, both phones have 6.9-inch screens, flagship processors, and cameras that make DSLRs from a few years ago look pale in comparison. But the devil is in the details.

    If you are wondering which of them will be your companion for the next 3-4 years, this article will help you make an informed decision.

    📊 Specifications – iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Galaxy S26 Ultra

    Before we get into the details, here is a comparison of key parameters side by side:

    At first glance, it is clear: these are two different approaches to flagship devices. Samsung focuses on camera resolution and faster charging, while Apple emphasizes the video ecosystem and memory capacity. Let’s get into the details.

    Performance and Processor

    A19 Pro vs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

    The iPhone 17 Pro Max is powered by Apple A19 Pro — a chip manufactured using a 2 nm process with a 6-core CPU and a 6-core GPU featuring hardware ray tracing. Samsung counters with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 from Qualcomm, which Samsung uses in all regions (no more Exynos in Europe).

    Benchmarks vs Reality

    In Geekbench 6 tests, Samsung surprised: Galaxy S26 Ultra scored 11,738 points in multi-core — about 20% more than the iPhone 17 Pro Max (~9,700 points). Single-core? Samsung also leads with a score of 3,852 points.

    Does this mean that Samsung is faster in everyday use? Not necessarily. iOS traditionally optimizes resources better, so an iPhone with less RAM (12 GB vs 16 GB in the top version of Samsung) can run just as smoothly. The differences in benchmarks mainly translate to:

    • Video and 3D graphics rendering — here Samsung has a measurable advantage
    • Multitasking with multiple heavy applications — 16 GB of RAM gives Samsung a buffer
    • Daily applications (social media, browser, maps) — both phones operate at the same speed

    💡 Tip: If you’re not rendering video on your phone and not playing the latest 3D games, you simply won’t notice any performance differences between these two flagships.


    Display – iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

    Resolution, brightness, and screen features

    The iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra offer large, 6.9-inch OLED displays with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. However, this is where the similarities between the screens of both flagships essentially end.

    Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has a higher screen resolution — 3120 × 1440 px (498 ppi), while iPhone 17 Pro Max offers 2868 × 1320 px (460 ppi). In practice, you will notice the difference in sharpness mainly when viewing text or images very closely. In everyday use, both displays are simply phenomenally sharp.

    Where does iPhone 17 Pro Max catch up? Screen brightness. Apple claims even up to 3000 nits at peak (e.g., in full sunlight) — this is one of the highest values on the smartphone market. Galaxy S26 Ultra reaches around 2600 nits, so in very bright conditions, the iPhone may be slightly more readable.

    Samsung has something that we won’t find in the iPhone — the Privacy Display feature. This technology limits the screen viewing angle, so people sitting next to you on the bus or train won’t see your messages or banking app. In terms of privacy, this is a very practical solution.

    📸 Camera and Photography

    This is where the most interesting part of the comparison begins. Both phones have camera systems that compete with compact cameras, but they approach photography from different angles.

    Main Camera: 48 MP vs 200 MP

    Samsung boasts a 200 MP with an aperture of f/1.4 — the brightest aperture in Galaxy history. It lets in 47% more light than the S25 Ultra (f/1.7). The iPhone responds with «modest» 48 MP, but with optical sensor-shift stabilization.

    Is 200 MP better than 48 MP? By default, both phones take pictures at ~12 MP (through pixel binning). Samsung wins in situations where you want to pull out detail — the full 200 MP provides huge files for cropping. The iPhone focuses on color consistency across all three lenses.

    Zoom: periscope system

    Telephoto #110 MP, 3x
    Telephoto #248 MP, 4x (8x optical)50 MP, 5x
    Max digital zoom40x100x (Space Zoom AI)

    Samsung offers two telephoto lenses (3x and 5x), providing greater flexibility. The iPhone has one 4x telephoto lens, but with the ability to crop to 8x without losing quality (thanks to the 48 MP sensor). In practice, both systems deliver excellent results up to ~10x zoom. Above that, Samsung leads with its 100x Space Zoom supported by AI.

    Selfie and portrait mode

    The iPhone wins in selfies — 18 MP with autofocus and Center Stage vs 12 MP on Samsung. Center Stage automatically frames the shot, tracking your face during video calls. Samsung has HDR10+ in selfies, but at a lower resolution.

    🎬 Video and filming

    This is a category where the iPhone traditionally dominates — and the 17 Pro Max maintains this position.

    iPhone 17 Pro Max records 4K Dolby Vision up to 120 fps and supports ProRes — a format used in professional post-production. Slow-motion in 4K at 120 fps is a quality that just 3 years ago required a camera costing several thousand zlotys. Additionally, Spatial Video for Apple Vision Pro.

    Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra nagrywa 8K przy 30 fps — wyższa rozdzielczość na papierze, ale 30 fps ogranicza płynność. W 4K Samsung oferuje do 120 fps, co wyrównuje szanse. Brakuje jednak odpowiednika ProRes — pliki Samsunga są kompresowane.

    CechaiPhone 17 Pro MaxGalaxy S26 Ultra

    Werdykt: Jeśli filmowanie jest dla Ciebie priorytetem, iPhone nie ma konkurencji w segmencie smartfonów. Jeśli nagrywasz głównie krótkie klipy do social media, oba telefony spisują się doskonale.


    🔋 Bateria i ładowanie

    Pojemność baterii i szybkość ładowania

    Samsung has a larger battery (5,000 mAh vs 4,823 mAh), but the iPhone compensates with better energy optimization. Apple claims 39 hours of video playback for the Pro Max — one of the best results on the market.

    Where does Samsung clearly win? Wired charging.

    ChargingiPhone 17 Pro MaxGalaxy S26 Ultra
    Wired40 W (50% in 20 min)60 W (75% in 30 min)
    Wireless25 W (MagSafe/Qi2)25 W (Qi2.2)
    Reverse charging✅ (MagSafe)✅ (4.5 W)

    Samsung charges significantly faster wired — 60 W vs 40 W. If you forgot to charge your phone overnight, Samsung will return to 75% in half an hour. The iPhone takes longer, although 50% in 20 minutes is still a decent result.

    Wireless charging is a tie — 25 W on both sides. Both support reverse charging (charging headphones or a watch from the phone).


    🤖 AI and Software

    This is a category that becomes one of the most important differentiators in 2026. Both phones offer advanced AI features, but in different styles.

    Apple Intelligence

    Apple Intelligence działa głęboko w systemie iOS 26. Kluczowe funkcje:

    • Siri z kontekstem — rozumie co jest na ekranie, kontynuuje rozmowę, wykonuje złożone polecenia
    • Narzędzia pisania — podsumowywanie, korekta tonu, przepisywanie tekstu w każdej aplikacji
    • Genmoji — generowanie spersonalizowanych emoji z opisu
    • Image Playground — tworzenie obrazów AI w stylu ilustracji
    • Priorytetyzacja powiadomień — AI sortuje powiadomienia według ważności

    Galaxy AI

    Samsung Galaxy AI w S26 Ultra oferuje:

    • Tłumaczenie rozmów w czasie rzeczywistym — podczas połączeń telefonicznych, bez internetu
    • Circle to Search — zakreśl cokolwiek na ekranie, żeby to wyszukać
    • Generative Edit — filling in photo fragments with AI-generated content
    • Note Assist — note summaries, transcription of recordings
    • Privacy Display AI — intelligent dimming of the screen when someone is looking from the side

    Updates — how many years of support?

    Here is the key difference. Apple traditionally supports iPhones for 6-7 years of iOS updates. Samsung promises 7 years of system and security updates starting from the S24 series — matching Apple.

    In practice, both phones purchased today will receive updates until 2032-2033. This means that an investment of ~6,300 PLN spreads over at least 7 years of support.

    💰 Price and value for money

    How much does the iPhone 17 Pro Max cost vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra?

    VariantiPhone 17 Pro MaxGalaxy S26 Ultra
    256 GB6 299 zł6 499 zł
    512 GB7 299 zł7 499 zł
    1 TB8 299 zł9 499 zł
    2 TB10 299 zł❌ brak

    iPhone 17 Pro Max is about 200 zł cheaper than the Galaxy S26 Ultra in every memory variant. In practice, this means that regardless of the chosen version — 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB — Apple’s smartphone remains slightly more affordable.

    Additionally, Apple is the only one offering a variant with as much as 2 TB of memory, which we won’t find in the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This may be significant especially for those recording a lot of high-quality video or photographers working with ProRAW and ProRes files, which can take up a lot of space.

    💡 Tip: If 256 GB turns out to be too little, and 1 TB too much, the best compromise for most users will be the 512 GB variant. In both models, it costs around 7 300–7 500 zł and offers enough space for photos, videos, and applications for several years of use.

    Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro - trzy warianty kolorystyczne (różowy, biały, czarny) w otwartych etuiach

    🔊 Jakość dźwięku Galaxy Buds 4 Pro vs Buds 3 Pro

    Oba modele słuchawek dousznych Samsung mają system dwóch przetworników, ale w Buds 4 Pro Samsung wymienił oba.

    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro mają większy woofer 11 mm (vs 10,5 mm). W praktyce daje to ok. 20% większą powierzchnię przetwornika, co przekłada się na głębszy, bardziej kontrolowany bas. Recenzenci z SoundGuys i What Hi-Fi opisują dźwięk jako energiczny, ale precyzyjny, z lepszą separacją instrumentów.

    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro mają z kolei większy tweeter planarny 6,1 mm (vs 5,4 mm w Buds 4 Pro). Teoretycznie powinno to dawać przewagę w wysokich tonach, ale w testach okazuje się, że Buds 3 Pro miały tendencję do zbyt mocnego basu, który «rozlewał się» na średnicę.

    Kodeki audio

    Oba modele obsługują te same kodeki: SBC, AAC, LC3 i Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC UHQ) z rozdzielczością do 24 bit/96 kHz. Żaden nie obsługuje LDAC ani aptX. SSC UHQ wymaga smartfona Samsung Galaxy S23 lub nowszego z One UI 6.1.1+.

    It means that you will only get the full sound quality with a Samsung smartphone. With an iPhone or phones from other brands, these Samsung wireless headphones are limited to AAC, which is a noticeable loss of quality compared to SSC UHQ.

    Tuning and sound character

    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have a slightly darker tuning with less emphasis on high frequencies. The bass is deep but does not dominate the rest of the spectrum. Mid frequencies (vocals, acoustic instruments) sound clearer than in the predecessor.

    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have a brighter tuning with more detail in the high frequencies. The soundstage is slightly wider, but the bass can be too expansive, which in some genres (e.g., EDM, hip-hop) leads to «muddiness» in low frequencies.

    Buds 4 Pro win in sound quality. Better controlled bass, cleaner mid frequencies, and generally a more balanced presentation. The difference is not revolutionary, but it is noticeable.

    🔇 ANC: Galaxy Buds 4 Pro vs Buds 3 Pro

    This is one of the biggest leaps between generations of these Samsung headphones.

    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have Adaptive ANC 2.0, which monitors the environment in real-time and adjusts noise cancellation to specific frequencies. In SoundGuys tests, these Samsung wireless earbuds reduced around 84% of ambient noise, placing them on par with AirPods Pro 3.

    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro feature first-generation Adaptive ANC, which operates based on programmed algorithms. It’s still effective noise reduction, but it doesn’t react as dynamically to changing conditions.

    The most significant improvement is seen in the range below 1 kHz, where the noise from air conditioning, fans, and street traffic falls. Both models struggle with sudden loud sounds.

    Ambient Mode and Voice Detection

    Both Samsung earbuds have:
    Voice Detection: automatic switching to ambient mode when you start speaking
    Ambient Mode: allowing sounds from the environment
    Adaptive EQ: adjustment to the shape of the ear

    In ambient mode, Buds 4 Pro sound a bit more natural. The sounds from the environment do not have the «metallic» aftertaste that sometimes appeared in Buds 3 Pro. This is important if you use ambient mode daily (e.g., in the office).

    Buds 4 Pro win this category. Adaptive ANC 2.0 is a real improvement, not a marketing slogan.

    🎙️ Call Quality

    Here the difference is most apparent and concerns both sides of the connection.

    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have 6 microphones with a VPU (Voice Pickup Unit) sensor, meaning bone conduction. Additionally, they feature Super Clear Call technology with a bandwidth of 16 kHz (Super Wideband), but only when paired with the Galaxy S26.

    In a quiet environment, the voice sounds clear and natural. In noise, the microphone performs well, although there is a slight «digitalization» of the voice. The VPU captures vibrations from the jawbone, which helps isolate the voice from background noise.

    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro also have 6 microphones, but without the VPU sensor. They support AI noise cancellation, but reviewers rated the call quality as «below average,» especially in loud environments.

    Super Clear Call is an exclusive feature of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, which doubles the voice transmission bandwidth (from 8 kHz to 16 kHz). In practice, the caller hears you more clearly, and your voice sounds more natural. However, this requires a Galaxy S26, S26+, or S26 Ultra.

    Winner: Buds 4 Pro. The VPU and Super Clear Call are noticeable improvements, especially for those who make a lot of phone calls.

    🔋 Samsung Buds 4 Pro vs Buds 3 Pro Battery

    On paper, both models look identical: 6 h with ANC, 7 h without ANC, 26/30 h with the case. But tests from independent publications paint a different picture.

    ParameterBuds 4 Pro (test)Buds 3 Pro (test)
    ANC on (SoundGuys)6 h 1 min4 h 31 min
    Headphone capacity61 mAh53 mAh
    Case capacity530 mAh515 mAh

    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro with a 61 mAh battery (15% more than Buds 3 Pro) achieved exactly 6 hours and 1 minute in SoundGuys tests with ANC on. This result is close to the manufacturer’s claims.

    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro with a 53 mAh battery lasted only 4 hours and 31 minutes in the same tests, which is 25% less than the claimed 6 hours.

    Both models charge via USB-C and wirelessly (Qi). Samsung does not provide exact charging times, but in practice, fully charging the case with a cable takes about 1.5 hours. The earbuds in the case charge to full in about 50-60 minutes.

    Battery: advantage of Buds 4 Pro. An hour and a half longer battery life in real conditions is a significant difference, especially during travel or long workouts.

    🎨 Design and wearing comfort

    Samsung changed its approach to design in Buds 4 Pro, focusing on premium materials.

    Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have metal (aluminum) legs with a matte finish and delicate touch grooves. The case is flat, horizontal, with a transparent cover through which the earbuds are visible. Weighing 5.1 g per earbud makes them one of the lighter in this class.

    Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have plastic legs with a lit LED strip that lights up during pairing and notifications. The case is vertical, traditional, without a transparent cover. Weighing 5.4 g per earbud.

    Fit and Ear Tips

    The difference of 0.3 g per earbud sounds like nothing, but it matters during hours of wear. Both models come with 4 sizes of silicone ear tips (XS, S, M, L). Samsung claims that the Buds 4 Pro were designed based on the analysis of 100 million ear scans and 10,000 virtual simulations.

    In practice, both models sit securely in the ear and are suitable for running and workouts. The IP57 certification means protection against dust and immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, which is sufficient for sweating during training.

    Available colors:
    – Buds 4 Pro: Black, White, Pink Gold
    – Buds 3 Pro: Silver, White

    Tie with a slight advantage for Buds 4 Pro. The aluminum legs look premium, and the lighter weight improves comfort. But if you like the LED on the legs of the Buds 3 Pro, it’s a matter of taste.

    📱 Smart features and Samsung ecosystem

    Head gestures (Buds 4 Pro only)

    New feature exclusive to Samsung Buds 4 Pro: nodding your head answers a call, shaking it declines. Works only with Samsung phones. A small but useful novelty when your hands are busy while cooking, training, or cycling.

    Voice assistant

    Buds 4 Pro support both Gemini and Bixby simultaneously: you say «Hey Google» or «Hey Bixby» without needing to select in settings. Buds 3 Pro require choosing one assistant (Bixby, Google Assistant, or Siri).

    Dual assistant means you can use Gemini for questions and searches, and Bixby for controlling Samsung phone settings. It’s a convenient solution for Galaxy ecosystem users.

    Spatial Audio and 360 Audio

    Both Samsung headphone models support spatial audio with head tracking. The effect is most noticeable when watching movies on the Samsung Galaxy Tab. In music, Spatial Audio can be controversial as it expands the soundstage at the cost of precision.

    Other Common Features

    Both models have:
    Real-Time Interpreter: real-time conversation translation (requires Galaxy AI)
    Auracast: audio sharing via Bluetooth LE Audio (e.g., sharing music with a friend)

    Designet til realme 16 Pro inspirert av Naoto Fukasawa

    Hvem er Naoto Fukasawa og hvilken innflytelse har han hatt på utseendet til realme 16 Pro?

    Naoto Fukasawa er en av de mest anerkjente industrielle designerne i verden. Hans arbeid inkluderer samarbeid med merker som MUJI, B&B Italia og Maruni, og hans design er en del av den permanente samlingen til Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) i New York. Realme har offisielt bekreftet at serien realme 16 Pro er designet i tråd med hans visjon, noe som er sjeldent i mellomklasse-segmentet.

    Fukasawas innflytelse er tydelig i den minimalistiske tilnærmingen til form, rolige linjer og avvik fra aggressive, «gaming» aksenter til fordel for et design som skal forbli aktuelt i mange år.

    To-farget bakdeksel og et nytt stilistisk språk for realme

    Baksiden av realme 16 Pro og realme 16 Pro+ skiller seg ut med to-farget premium finish, som kombinerer en matt panel med en blank kameramodul. Denne tilnærmingen gir telefonen et mer elegant og ryddig preg.

    Oppsettet av kameraene tiltrekker seg oppmerksomhet med sin enkle, symmetriske form, som kan minne om løsninger kjent fra dyrere modeller fra konkurrentene. Helheten passer inn i en ny stilretning for merket realme, som fokuserer på premium estetikk, og ikke bare imponerende tall i spesifikasjonen.

    Fargene til realme 16 Pro – inspirasjon fra naturen og blomsterdesign

    Produsenten har forberedt flere fargevarianter inspirert av naturen og blomsterdesign, som godt gjenspeiler Fukasawas designfilosofi:

    • Camellia Pink – subtil rosa inspirert av kamelia blomster
    • Orchid Purple – uttrykksfull, men elegant lilla
    • Master Gold – klassisk, luksuriøst gull
    • Pebble Grey / Master Grey – dempet grå med steinaktig karakter

    Realme understreker at noen farger er laget med tanke på det indiske markedet, men erfaringene fra tidligere lanseringer viser at noen fargevarianter senere også kommer til Europa.


    📱 Skjermen til realme 16 Pro – er OLED 1.5K 144 Hz en reell fordel?

    Stor 6,78 tommers skjerm med høyere oppløsning 1.5K

    realme 16 Pro og realme 16 Pro+ er utstyrt med en 6,78-tommers OLED panel, som ifølge lekkasjer tilbyr en oppløsning på 1.5K. Dette er en stadig mer vanlig kompromiss mellom Full HD+ og QHD+, som gir klarere bilder uten dramatisk økning i energiforbruket.

    I praksis betyr dette:

    • bedre skarphet på tekst og detaljer,
    • høyere lesbarhet ved større diagonaler,
    • mindre belastning på batteriet enn ved 2K skjermer.

    144 Hz oppdateringsfrekvens – jevnhet over standarden i mellomklassen

    Både realme 16 Pro og Pro+ versjonen skal tilby oppdateringsfrekvens på opptil 144 Hz. Dette er en parameter som fortsatt er sjelden i mellomklassen og forbedrer:

    • jevn scrolling,
    • grensesnitt animasjoner,
    • komfort ved spilling og daglig bruk.

    Selv om den faktiske bruken av 144 Hz avhenger av optimaliseringen av systemet og applikasjonene, setter det faktum at en slik skjerm brukes, serie 16 Pro høyere enn mange konkurrenter som begrenser seg til 120 Hz.

    Ultralyd fingeravtrykksleser i skjermen

    Et stort kjennetegn ved serien er ultralyd fingeravtrykksleser integrert i skjermen. Dette er en løsning kjent hovedsakelig fra dyrere smarttelefoner, som:

    • fungerer raskere enn tradisjonelle optiske lesere,
    • håndterer fuktige fingre bedre,
    • tilbyr høyere sikkerhetsnivå.

    Hvis denne funksjonen faktisk kommer til begge modellene i Europa, vil det være en av de største fordelene til realme 16 Pro over konkurrentene i dette prissegmentet.

    Bildekvalitet og brukskomfort i hverdagen

    Kombinasjonen av OLED-teknologi, høy oppdateringsfrekvens og høyere oppløsning antyder at realme satser sterkt på komfort ved innholdskonsum – filmer, serier, sosiale medier og spill. Dette er spesielt viktig i kombinasjon med det store 7000 mAh batteriet, som vil tillate bruk av skjermen i mange timer uten hyppig lading.


    Batteriet til realme 16 Pro – er 7000 mAh en ny standard i mellomklassen?

    Enorm kapasitet uten kompromisser mellom markedene

    Realme 16 Pro og realme 16 Pro+ skal være utstyrt med et batteri med en kapasitet på omtrent 7000 mAh, noe som er betydelig høyere enn standarden i mellomklassen. Det er viktig å merke seg at produsenten ifølge lekkasjer ikke planlegger å differensiere kapasiteten avhengig av markedet, noe som betyr at de europeiske variantene bør få samme celle som modellene solgt i Asia.

    Et så stort batteri kombinert med energieffektive prosessorer og OLED 1.5K skjerm bør resultere i:

    • opptil 2 dager med intensiv bruk,
    • svært lang batterilevetid i blandet modus,
    • mindre degradering av cellen ved daglig lading.

    Rask lading på 80 W – praktisk energipåfylling

    Til tross for den store kapasiteten, planlegger realme å bruke 80 W kablet lading. Dette er en løsning som gjør at:

    • du raskt kan fylle opp energien før du går ut av huset,
    • redusere tiden telefonen er tilkoblet laderen,
    • opprettholde brukskomfort selv på en veldig intensiv dag.

    Selv om den nøyaktige ladetiden ikke er avslørt ennå, antyder erfaringene fra tidligere realme-modeller at lading til 50–60% bør ta noen få minutter.

    Energieffektivitet i stedet for «vattløp»

    Bruken av Dimensity 7300 i realme 16 Pro og Snapdragon i Pro+ versjonen indikerer at realme fokuserer på energi effektivitet, og ikke bare rå ytelse. I praksis betyr dette:

    • stabil drift uten overoppheting,
    • bedre skjermtid (SoT),
    • langsommere batteriforbruk over flere år.

    Batteriet som et reelt kjøpsargument

    I segmentet for smarttelefoner opp til omtrent 2500 kr er et så stort batteri fortsatt sjeldent, spesielt i kombinasjon med OLED-skjerm og rask lading. Hvis realme forbedrer systemoptimaliseringen, kan 7000 mAh bli en av hovedgrunnene til at brukere velger serien 16 Pro.


    Ytelsen til realme 16 Pro og Pro+ – Dimensity mot Snapdragon

    Realme 16 Pro med Dimensity 7300 – stabilitet og energieffektivitet

    I henhold til Geekbench listen, er realme 16 Pro utstyrt med MediaTek Dimensity 7300. Dette er en moderne, energieffektiv brikke laget med 4 nm litografi, som ikke sikter mot benchmark-rekorder, men mot jevn og forutsigbar drift i hverdagen.

    I praksis bør Dimensity 7300 gi:

    • svært god arbeidskultur,
    • lavt energiforbruk,
    • tilstrekkelig ytelse for daglige oppgaver, multimedia og spill.

    Dette er en tydelig endring fra realme 15 Pro, som satset på en kraftigere Snapdragon-brikke, men til kostnad av høyere energibehov.

    Realme 16 Pro+ – Snapdragon for de mer krevende

    Realme har offisielt bekreftet at Pro+ modellen vil få Snapdragon prosessor, som oftest i lekkasjer er nevnt som Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. Dette er en brikke som er betydelig kraftigere enn Dimensity 7300, designet med tanke på:

    • bedre ytelse i spill,
    • stabilere kameradrift (ISP),
    • høyere kraftreserve for fremtiden.

    Dermed vil realme 16 Pro+ være et naturlig valg for brukere som forventer maksimal jevnhet og større kraftreserve, selv på bekostning av noe kortere batterilevetid på en enkelt lading.

    RAM og datalagring

    Serien realme 16 Pro skal tilby flere minnekonfigurasjoner:

    • 8 eller 12 GB RAM som standard,
    • variant 16 GB RAM mulig på utvalgte markeder,
    • intern lagring fra 128 GB til og med 512 GB.

    Et så bredt utvalg av konfigurasjoner gjør det mulig å tilpasse telefonen både til grunnleggende brukere og mer krevende brukere.

    realme UI 7 og Android 16

    Begge modellene skal kjøre på Android 16 med realme UI 7. Produsenten fokuserer her på:

    • en lett og rask brukergrensesnitt,
    • utvidede tilpasningsmuligheter,
    • god optimalisering for store skjermer og høy oppdateringsfrekvens.

    I henhold til den nåværende politikken til realme kan man forvente 3 år med Android-oppdateringer og 4 år med sikkerhetsoppdateringer.


    Kameraene til realme 16 Pro og Pro+ – gjør 200 MP og periskop en forskjell?

    200 MP sensor som hovedkamera i begge modeller

    Både realme 16 Pro og realme 16 Pro+ skal være utstyrt med et hovedkamera på 200 MP, noe som fortsatt gjør stort inntrykk i mellomklasse-segmentet. Selve oppløsningen garanterer selvfølgelig ikke kvalitet, men i kombinasjon med riktig optikk og bildebehandling kan det gi:

    • svært høy detaljrikdom i bildene,
    • effektiv digital zoom uten stor kvalitetstap,
    • større fleksibilitet i beskjæring.

    realme lover også forbedrede bildebehandlingsalgoritmer som skal håndtere hudfarge og portrettbilder bedre.

    8 MP ultravidvinkel og 50 MP selfie-kamera

    Et supplement til kamerasettet er 8-megapiksel ultravidvinkelobjektiv, som finnes i begge modeller. Dette er en standardløsning i denne klassen, hovedsakelig beregnet for landskaps- og gruppebilder.

    På forsiden finner vi derimot 50 MP kamera, som bør gi:

    • høy kvalitet på selfies,
    • god detaljrikdom under videosamtaler,
    • solid videomateriale for sosiale medier.

    Periskop teleobjektiv – fordelen til realme 16 Pro+

    Den største forskjellen mellom modellene gjelder teleobjektivet.
    realme 16 Pro+ skal få periskopobjektiv med omtrent 3,5x optisk zoom, noe som er en løsning som vanligvis finnes i betydelig dyrere smarttelefoner.

    Dermed vil Pro+ varianten tilby:

    • betydelig bedre zoom,
    • bedre portrettkvalitet,
    • større fotografisk allsidighet.

    Den grunnleggende realme 16 Pro vil ikke få teleobjektiv, noe som tydelig posisjonerer den som en mer universell modell, men mindre avansert fotografisk.

    Kameraene i praksis – forsiktig optimisme

    Historien om smarttelefoner med 200 MP sensorer viser at tall ikke er alt. Det som er avgjørende er:

    • bevaring av kvalitet i svakt lys,
    • effektivitet av stabilisering,
    • arbeidet til HDR- og nattalgoritmer.

    Hvis realme faktisk forbedrer kameroptimaliseringen og utnytter potensialet til periskopet i Pro+ versjonen, kan serie 16 Pro reelt true konkurransen i segmentet opp til omtrent 2500 kr.


    Realme 16 Pro og Pro+ – når er lanseringen og hva kan de koste i Norge?

    Lanseringsdato og tilgjengelighet i Europa

    I følge flere uavhengige og pålitelige kilder vil realme 16 Pro og realme 16 Pro+ debutere 6. januar på det indiske markedet. Selv om produsenten ikke har annonsert en offisiell europeisk lanseringsdato ennå, antyder den nåværende strategien til realme at telefonene vil komme til Europa – inkludert Norge – innen noen uker etter debuten i India.

    I praksis betyr dette:

    • europeisk lansering januar / februar,
    • rask tilgjengelighet av tilbehør (deksler, glass, ladere),
    • ingen store spesifikasjonsforskjeller mellom regionene.

    Minnevarianter – bredt utvalg for mellomklassen

    Serien realme 16 Pro skal tilby mer fleksible minnekonfigurasjoner enn forgjengerne, noe som er et klart nikk til brukere som krever mer lagringsplass.

    Forventede varianter:

    • realme 16 Pro
      • 8 / 128 GB
      • 8 / 256 GB
      • 12 / 256 GB
    • realme 16 Pro+
      • 8 / 256 GB
      • 12 / 256 GB
      • 12 / 512 GB

    Varianten med 16 GB RAM kan forbli begrenset til det kinesiske markedet.

    Forventede priser for realme 16 Pro og Pro+ i Norge

    Offisielle priser for det europeiske markedet er ennå ikke avslørt, men basert på:

    • prisene på forrige generasjon,
    • markedsposisjonen til realme,
    • den spesifikasjonen som er brukt,

    kan man anta følgende prisklasser:

    • realme 16 Pro: omtrent 1400–1600 kr
    • realme 16 Pro+: omtrent 2200–2500 kr

    En slik prising plasserer serien 16 Pro direkte i konkurranse med de sterkeste mellomklasse telefonene på markedet, men tilbyr samtidig elementer som sjelden finnes i denne klassen – som 7000 mAh batteri eller periskop teleobjektiv.

    Posisjonering av serien realme 16 Pro

    Realme retter seg tydelig mot brukere som:

    • ønsker en telefon for flere år,
    • verdsetter premium design,
    • forventer lang batterilevetid,
    • men ikke ønsker å gå inn i flaggskipprissegmentet.

    Hvis produsenten opprettholder rimelige priser og god tilgjengelighet i Europa, kan realme 16 Pro og Pro+ bli noen av de mest populære mellomklasse telefonene i 2026.
