Off the back of several middling wearables, the Watch S1 Pro could be Xiaomi’s opportunity to turn it all around with a smartwatch that offers plenty of functionality in a sleek design that not only undercuts some of its competitors in price, but can supposedly promise far more usage with a battery life of up […]
Verdict The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra is a successful return to the flagship fold for the brand, offering a stylish handset with a fine display, strong performance, and one of the cleanest and most pleasant-to-use UIs around.

While I’m not quite ready to deliver my final thoughts, my first impressions of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 5G are largely positive, with a great 120Hz AMOLED display and the same 5000mAh battery found in some flagships.
