  • Samsung has announced when it will launch its next flagship phones, and we think we know a lot about what to expect – plus Nothing has finally released the Phone (1) in the US (sort of) and Dom has gone hands-on with the Razer Edge handheld.
    First up, we’re previewing the three Galaxy S23 phones, now confirmed to debut on 1 February. Extensive leaks have given us a pretty good idea of what to expect, with minimalist designs, camera upgrades, and a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 inside.
    Meanwhile, Nothing has begun selling the Phone (1) in the US half a year after it launched in the rest of the world. Well, kinda – this is officially a ‘beta membership’ to test the phone’s version of Android 13, but you have to pay $299 and they give you a phone, so it sounds a lot like putting it on sale to us. But is this something special or a raw deal for consumers?
    And finally, Dom has had the chance to try out the Snapdragon-powered, Android-running Razer Edge gaming handheld, and has his thoughts on the hardware ready ahead of the official US launch, which is now just a couple weeks away.
    And then a bit of sad news: this will be the final Fast Charge – for now at least. After 140 episodes it felt like the right time to retire the show, but we’ll be sticking around on YouTube and making great videos as often as we can, so stay subscribed and keep an eye out for what’s next.

  • We're back, and the biggest tech trade show of the year is in full swing... but our main news has nothing to do with CES at all.
    On the other side of the planet from Vegas, OnePlus decided this busy week was the perfect time to reveal the OnePlus 11, its latest flagship phone - and confirm that a global launch is coming in February too. An 8 Gen 2, 100W charging, and upgraded cameras all sound good to us - so is OnePlus back to winning ways?
    After that we'll be chatting about a secret phone - one we're not allowed to reveal until the embargo conveniently lifts as the show starts. So stay tuned for that one.
    Finally, we're going to finish up with a discussion of the new Qi2 wireless charging standard - not as dry as it sounds thanks to the news that the new tech is quite directly based on Apple's MagSafe standard. Hopefully that won't make all the Android OEMs feel quite so bad about copying it.

  • It's the last episode of 2022, which of course means we're already stuck talking about the biggest launches of 2023.
    First up, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro, its first two phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Throw in updated cameras and an overhauled design and you should have a pair of pretty promising flagships - so why aren't we all that enthused yet?
    We're more excited by the Oppo Find N2 and Find N2 Flip - especially the latter, as it's both Oppo's first flip phone and the first foldable it's launching internationally. But why isn't the regular Find N2 leaving China with it, and has Oppo done enough to unseat Samsung?
    And finally, it's only right that we turn to next year, throwing out some baseless predictions about what will happen to all things smartphone in 2023.

  • December has begun, the advent calendars are open, and Spotify Wrapped has taken over social media, which means we're ready to declare 2022 basically done with.
    It's been a big year for tech. We got our first 1-inch smartphone camera sensor, Apple began its first halting steps away from the notch, and there's even still time left for Elon to destroy Twitter for good.
    But what were the best, the worst, and the weirdest products to hit the market this year? Dom, Henry, and Lewis are ready to pick through the wreckage of the year and share their favourites - and more.

  • Welcome to our Black Friday safe space: you won't find any deals discussion here this week. Instead, we're focussed on a trio of major launches from Vivo, Honor, and Oppo.
    First up, Vivo unveiled its X90 series, including the debuts of both the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 - a dual debut we've not seen happen before. Beyond the chips the big upgrades are to the camera, with the top Pro+ model using the same 1in IMX989 camera sensor we saw on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. If Vivo's track record is anything to go by, this might just be the new best camera in any phone right now.
    Honor had a big week too, revealing its second-gen Magic Vs foldable alongside the more traditional Honor 80 range. The Vs (pronounced vee-ess, not the way you want to say it) is confirmed to get a global launch next year, and boasts a super-slim design that closes completely flat - still not a given in foldable phones. It only runs the slightly older Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 rather than the latest 8 Gen 2, but powerful cameras and a sleek design could make this Samsung's first real competition worldwide.
    Finally, Oppo has also taken advantage of what it probably thought would be a quiet week for phone launches to reveal the Oppo Reno 9 range. The Reno 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro+ look pretty similar to the Reno 8 phones, but boast upgrades going up to a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 in the Pro+ model. Big batteries, up to 80W fast charging, and high-res main cameras complete the spec sheet - but will we ever see these models outside of China?

  • Qualcomm has announced its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset hot on the heels of MediaTek, whose Dimensity 9200 chip we discussed last week.
    There are many similarities between the two high-end mobile platforms but Qualcomm’s brand power means it is a few steps ahead of its rival, promising the 8 Gen 2 will appear in phones from most of the major Android players.
    This week on Fast Charge Anyron, Lewis and Henry Iook into the specs of the 8 Gen 2 to discuss whether you would notice the difference between it and the 8+ Gen 1 we’ve seen in phones like the OnePlus 10T. How much power do you really need? We’ll also touch on the Snapdragon AR2 Gen 1 chip designed for augmented reality and our hopes for WearOS smartwatches now an Oppo watch has the new Snapdragon W5 chip.
    After that, the team discuss the latest Pixel Fold leaks and a device that looks an awful lot like the Pixel 7, as you might expect. If accurate, will Google bring anything new to the form factor, or is it more of the same on the bandwagon train? Is software more important than hardware in the long run?
    Finally, it’s the best time of year to grab a tech bargain – that’s right, Black Friday is nearly upon us, so impending that we may not even be able to record a show next week as we will be so busy. That’s why we round off today’s episode by highlighting some of the best deals we’ve seen so far (yes, they have already started) and give you our best buying advice tips for the buying time of year we all hate to love (or is that love to hate?).

  • Join the team as they discuss MediaTek's Dimensity 9200 launch this week, a chip that's all but confirmed to appear in a premium Vivo phone by the end of the year.
    The gang also discuss the latest Huawei flagship phone, the Mate 50 Pro, which Henry has had in for review. It ships without native support for Google Mobile Services or the Google Play Store, but Huawei says it has made strides with its own AppGallery and ways to download and use popular apps – is the Mate 50 Pro a viable smartphone for European buyers in 2022, especially ad £1,199?
    Finally, the team chat about Honor, once a subsidiary of Huawei but now free to do what it wants. It’s just announced its Magic Vs folding phone, which will come to global markets including Europe.
    Do we think it will be a decent rival device to Samsung’s Z Fold 4, or is it just more of the same?

  • This week's show will kick off with Lewis and his thoughts on the Nokia X30, the top-end mid-ranger from HMD Global. But rather than being much of the same as last year's X20, the X30 has a few key upgrades that could allow it to compete with the OnePlus Nord 2T and Nothing Phone (1).
    We then move on to VR headsets, with Lewis taking us through the latest announcements from Meta, Pico and PlayStation following the expensive PSVR 2 RRP reveal earlier this week.
    Then it's time to turn our thoughts to the mess that is Twitter right now. With Elon Musk behind the wheel at the social network, booting out the Twitter board and instigating a monthly fee for Twitter verification, it's a crazy time for the Tweeterverse.

  • This week we're revisiting the iPhone 14 series as Henry shares his thoughts on the 14 Plus, before we dive into a couple new Xiaomi models.
    The iPhone 14 Plus marks the return of the big, cheap(ish) iPhone flagship, after two years of the ultimately unsuccessful Mini model. But with Apple reportedly slowing production already, it looks like Henry isn't the only person unconvinced by the need for a big iPhone that costs almost as much as the Pro models.
    Then Anyron jumps on the show to talk about the Xiaomi 12T, which launched alongside its Pro sibling the other week. These aren't quite new flagship phones, but they're pretty powerful for mid-rangers. Is that enough to win over a crowded market though?
    Finally, we get a look at Xiaomi's budget plans for the next year with the Chinese launch of the Redmi Note 12 series. There were almost twenty Note 11 phones across the full range in various markets, so the Note 12, Note 12 Pro, and Note 12 Pro+ are probably just the tip of the iceberg, but tell us a bit about Xiaomi's strategy for 2023.

  • After a couple weeks off, we’re back… with a vengeance? Well, we certainly may have it out for Apple, after it unveiled a new iPad range that’s left us scratching our heads.
    The new regular iPad boasts a slick new design, a landscape camera, updated keyboard with function keys, and USB-C. But it’s also much more expensive, and strangely similar to the Air. Meanwhile the new Pro models pack all the power you’d expect thanks to an M2 chip upgrade, but miss out on half the new features added into the base model. What gives, Apple?
    After that, it’s time for our rather belated reviews of the Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel Watch. Chris can’t join us this week to chat about the regular 7, but Henry has his thoughts ready on Google’s latest and possibly greatest.

  • We spoke about the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra a couple of weeks ago, but it's back with a vengeance after Dom's been testing the phone and is surprised to discover it might be one of his favourites of the year so far.
    Launched alongside the cheaper Edge 30 Fusion and Neo, the Ultra is a high-specced phone that can match almost any flagship out there, while undercutting them all on price. It may be headlined bya 200Mp main rear camera, but to be honest that's not even the real draw: this is simply a well-balanced, slick flagship phone with few flaws at an excellent price.
    That's especially true when we see its latest competition, as Huawei launches the Mate 50 Pro in Europe - though not the regular Mate 50. Like most Huawei phones the hardware here looks excellent, and the variable aperture camera in particular has our attention. But is €1,399 simply too much for a 4G phone with no Google services?
    Finally, the cloud gaming market is finally heating up, as Logitech unveiled its G Cloud handset, only to be followed days later by the first official tease of the Razer Edge 5G - almost certain to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 chip, as seen in the Razer dev kit device shown off last year. How do these two handsets differ, and should the Switch and Steam Deck be worried?

  • Is the iPhone 14 Pro the best iPhone you can buy right now? And can the Oppo Reno 8 Pro compete in a very competitive mid-range market?
    First up on Fast Charge this week, Lewis gives his thoughts on the iPhone 14 Pro after a week of use. Is the Dynamic Island all it's cracked up to be? Is the new 48Mp camera as revolutionary as Apple suggests? And most importantly, is it an iPhone that can last all day? The crew discuss.
    Next up, the Fast Charge team discuss the rising prices of tech. No matter where you look, the price of tech is on the up-and-up. Henry, Lewis and Hannah discuss the best time to buy tech to bag yourself a bargain, and give tips on the most affordable smartphones right now.
    Finally, Hannah has been testing out the Oppo Reno 8 Pro, the company's latest competitive mid-ranger. Hear what she thinks about Oppo's stylish smartphone, from its impressive performance to Oppo's flaky upgrade promise.

  • Is Motorola finally on the edge of flagship phone success with the new additions to the Edge 30 range? And is iOS 16 the enormous update we were promised?
    First up on Fast Charge this week, we talk about the new Motorola Edge 30 phones, launched last week. This is headline by the Edge 30 Ultra, an all-singing, all-dancing flagship with a 200Mp camera, super-fast charging, and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, all for an unexpectedly affordable price tag. The Edge 30 Fusion and Neo have taken our fancy a little too, a pair of capable mid-rangers with surprisingly sleek design. After years in the wilderness, is Motorola finally back?
    Meanwhile, iOS 16 is officially out – and while we’re still waiting for our new iPhones, Henry and Lewis have been busy testing out the new software on existing hardware. So if you’re an iPhone owner, should you upgrade? And should Android users feel like they’re missing out?
    Finally, Lewis has been testing out the Vivo V25 Pro, and has his review ready just in time for its smaller sibling’s launch in India. Hear what he thinks of Vivo’s colour-changing mid-ranger, and what the one thing still holding Vivo back is.

  • Coming hot off the heels of IFA 2022, Apple has revealed a slew of new smartphones and wearables - including an entirely new model of Apple Watch.
    Lewis, Henry and Anyron will dive into chat about the iPhone 14 and new big-screen iPhone 14 Plus along with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.
    The team will then move on to the Apple Watch Series 8, an updated Apple Watch SE and Apple's new ultra-rugged Apple Watch Ultra, designed for triathletes, divers and other extreme sports fans. 
    We then round off the episode with Apple's AirPods Pro 2. Are they really 'pro' without lossless audio support? The guys discuss.

  • We’re back, and ready to review Samsung’s latest two foldables, along with the Buds 2 Pro and both new Galaxy Watch 5 models. Just in time to then look forward at what we’re expecting from Apple’s just-confirmed iPhone 14 launch.
    Lewis, Dom, and Henry have all spent the last two weeks testing various bits of Samsung kit, and we have our hot takes at the ready as we review the Z Flip 4, Z Fold 4, both Galaxy Watch 5 models, and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. Is this a bumper year for Samsung, or so-so sameness?
    Not to be outdone, Apple took the opportunity yesterday to confirm its next event, officially scheduled for 7 September. With the iPhone 14 almost certain to appear, what are we expecting from the new phones – and what other hardware will Apple announce alongside them.

  • We are well and truly into smartphone summer silly season with software releases, beta tracks, rumour mills, and flagship phones galore all vying for our and your collective tech attention.
    Android 13 is officially rolling out to Pixel 6 phones around the world. It's a little earlier in the year than usual, but will many people notice many differences given Android 12 was such a huge visual change? The new version appears to be an iterative update to 2021's big step into Material You and colour scheming, but there a few important changes worth highlighting. When your phone will get the update is another matter.
    One such phone slated to get Android 13 later this year is the OnePlus 10T. It's a curious phone from the company that used to outright replace its flagship phone for the year with the 'T' model six months later, but this time it's something different altogether. On paper some parts are better than the older OnePlus 10 Pro, but it's at the expense of a few key features - like the absence of the fan favourite alert slider - that drive the price down. We've reviewed the phone and will delve into its curious proposition. 
    Vivo is a Chinese brand that like OnePlus is owned by BBK Group, but has gone a different route with its latest phones the V25 and V25 Pro. They've caught headlines thanks to colour changing tech of the back panels that will surely see copycats elsewhere in the industry, and remarkably high-spec selfie cameras for the asking price. The mid-range phone market is incredibly competitive of late, and these phones are further proof of that.

  • This week has been a foldable fest, with not one, not two, not even three, but four new foldable phones announced in quick succession - in fact, they all debuted within 24 hours of one another.
    First up, Samsung gave a global launch to the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4. After transformative updates to last year's models, this year is more about iteration, but there's still a lot to like here. The Flip 4 in particular has been re-designed to fix its predecessor's biggest flaws, while the Fold 4 benefits from improved proportions and a serious camera upgrade.
    Not to be outdone, Motorola held its delayed launch for the Razr 2022 in China. With a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 inside this is a match for Samsung's Flip 4 on specs, and may trump its Korean rival on camera performance too, with a 50Mp rear shooter. Throw in a larger cover display, a 144Hz internal display, and a sleek design, and Samsung may have real competition when the Razr gets a global launch later this year.
    Finally, Xiaomi held a Chinese launch of its own, revealing its second foldable: the Mix Fold 2. This book-style folding phone is a Z Fold 4 rival with an astonishingly thin design - just 5.4mm thick when open - along with strong specs and another Leica-branded camera.

  • The smallest flagship of the year is here: the Asus Zenfone 9.
    Dom has been testing the dinky Android phone for the last week or two, and he's a little bit in love with the portable powerhouse, which packs in an 8+ Gen 1 and gimbal-stabilised camera. But can the chassis contain that much power, and are there problems lurking in the unique new polymer finish?
    Anyron has been testing out another 8+ Gen 1 phone, the Red Magic 7S Pro. It's a compelling gaming phone if you don't mind the under-display selfie camera, but there's not much new compared to the 7 Pro - which only launched a few months back.
    Finally, Huawei unveiled a new MatePad Pro tablet, along with launching its HarmonyOS 3.0 software in China. So what's new, and will it ever arrive in the West?

  • It's a battle of the mid-rangers as we review both the Google Pixel 6a and the Nothing Phone (1), and in the process pit these two similarly priced phones up against one another.
    The Pixel 6a was announced a whole two months ago but we finally have the phone, just as pre-orders start, and Henry is ready to explain why he thinks this is the new best mid-ranger on the market after two weeks of putting it through its paces.
    Dom has in turn been testing out the Nothing Phone (1), which sits at the same price but looks very different, and balances its specs in whole other way. Does it survive its own hype campaign, and can it dethrone the Pixel 6a already - not to mention the OnePlus Nord 2T, iPhone SE, and Samsung Galaxy A53, all at about the same price.
    Finally, Samsung has confirmed its next Galaxy Unpacked event in August. We run through everything we're expecting to see on the day, including the Flip 4, Fold 4, Watch 5, and Buds 2 Pro.

  • The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is finally here, arriving in five phones from two manufacturers this week - with plenty more to come.
    Xiaomi got there first, equipping its entire Xiaomi 12S line with the new flagship Qualcomm chip. The trio of phones may be exclusive to China, but the Leica-branded, camera-centric 12S Ultra is a phenomenal powerhouse that any phone fan will want to know about.
    Asus may have launched second, but it's the first to bring the 8+ Gen 1 global in its ROG Phone 6 gaming phones. There are regular and Pro models, but only differentiated by RAM and the inclusion of a rear display or not - Anyron has reviewed the 6 Pro, and thinks this is the best a gaming phone gets right now.
    Finally, we decided to revisit the year so far, and look at the phones we loved - and didn't love - from the first half of 2022, before looking ahead to what's got us excited over the next six months.
    Note: Apologies this episode is so late, and that last week's never happened - blame summer holidays! Expect 122 any day now though.
