LG wanted to be different from all the others with its mobile phones. That was precisely what condemned it: Crossover 1×29

by

It’s been more than four years since LG closed its mobile divisiona decision that made financial sense—they kept losing money—but that left some users, including myself, shaken. And it is that LG had its particular golden era in this segment. At the beginning of the 2010s, the company was an absolute benchmark: it was not in vain that Google chose it two years in a row to develop and manufacture the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. But LG also had, as we say, some fantastic years after launching the LG G2a terminal that seemed almost gigantic to us with its 5.2 inches and that posed an ambitious and notable bet. Especially because among other things it “hid” the physical buttons and placed them behind the screen. He LG G3 It was also going in the right direction, but from there the stumbles and that erratic line of movement began. some terminals that were unpredictable: The firm surprised us every year with different decisions that seemed more intended to attract attention and cause a “wow” effect than to solve real problems. This is what we saw in that synthetic leather back cover of the LG G4 and especially in that modular design of the LG G5 that did not finish curdling. Along the way, other ranges such as the V were left behind and of course their attempts to sell their mid-ranges, which had a very difficult time due to the push of Samsung and Chinese manufacturers. Since then, things continued not to go well with their terminals. LG was still brave and originalbut time and time again the market responded with indifference: the world seemed to want more “boring” mobile phones. Crazy models like the LG Wing ended up condemning a company that ended up surrendering to the evidence to focus on other divisions that are an absolute success, such as the one in charge of develop OLED panels for their TVs but also for various manufacturers such as Apple.

While it arrives, we are going to get hungry reviewing the finalists in each category. In this second installment of the Xataka Awards Special Week we have chosen one of the categories that have historically generated the most debate: the best mobile phones. In today’s program (the first of several that we will also do next week) it will start at 4:00 p.m. Spanish peninsular time on our Twitch channel. It will be presented by Ana Boria (@ana_borbuj) and a server, Jose García (@josedextro). In addition, we will be accompanied by Amparo Babiloni (@amparanoiada), a guest of honor who has had the privilege of testing this year’s main high-end terminals. And if that were not enough, we have a great raffle and, what’s more, at the best possible time. The reason? Black Friday is just around the corner, and we are going to give away five gift cards of 50 euros each to spend at MediaMarkt. We tell you all the details. A review of the best mobile phones of 2025 Before starting the program, it is worth remembering how the finalists are chosen. During the last weeks, we have published several forms in which you, the xatakeros, have voted for your favorite devices. These votes have served to define the finalists. In addition, they will join the jury, made up of Xataka editors and colleagues from other media specialized in technology. Together, we will choose the winners who will be announced during the gala. With that clear, in today’s program we will talk about mobile phones. At the Xataka NordVPN 2025 Awards we have five categories: best foldable, best entry-level mobile (up to 249.99 euros), best mid-range (from 250 to 499.99 euros), best high-end (from 500 to 999.99 euros) and best super high-end (from 1,000 euros). We will touch on all the styles, but we will put special emphasis on these last two categories. How to get five 50 euro MediaMarkt gift cards During today’s program (and also in future ones), in addition to discovering the category in question, we will hold a very special raffle: five 50 euro gift cards from MediaMarkt. With Black Friday just around the corner, not so bad. Participating is very simple. During the broadcast we will ask a question and the first ten people who answer correctly in the Twitch chat will get a number from one to ten. Those ten participants will advance to the second round, in which our presenters will randomly draw five numbers from a bag. People with those numbers will win the prize. There will be five winners and five substitutes. If any of the winners do not meet the requirements, the prize will go to the first alternate, and so on. The winners will be announced live and must contact Xataka by whispering in the Twitch chat. To participate you must be over 18 years old and resident in Spain. You can consult the complete legal bases at this link.

China has a plan to repeat with cars what it already did with cell phones. And that plan has already begun

by

It is more than likely that, wherever you look, see chinese technology. Maybe it’s your cell phone, your tablet or your television. You may be surprised that your microwave with a Japanese or American name is actually made by a chinese company. Or your refrigerator, air conditioning, whatever. China has conquered the world of technology and that, at this point, does not surprise anyone. Nor will it be surprising that the Asian giant wants to get involved to the kitchen (literally) and, in the case at hand, even our garage. Because yes, China has been promoting a plan since 2015 to lead several key technological industries (which is what it means to be the largest producer of batteries in the world) and one of those industries is the car. And we are already starting to see it. From the mobile phone to the washing machine and the car China understood very quickly that the future of cars was not in combustion, a market largely led by a well-established European industry. but in electricity. China took a shortcut. The state subsidized every stage of the chain, from mines and loading docks to battery factories and start-ups. We have the clearest example in BYD, which went from manufacturing mobile batteries to being the spearhead of the Chinese electric car. The Chinese market, however, is very saturated. Despite its huge population, there are 150 car brands in the country, so competition is fierce. Thus, China began to look outwards. And it went very well. In 2023, China surpassed Japan as the world’s leading car exporter and the next logical stop was Europe. The Chinese proposal was simple: offer technology, design and autonomy at a much lower price than local and Western proposals. Spain was the gateway with companies such as BYD, OMODA, JAECOO, XPENG and MG filling dealerships, something that translates into a considerable drop in average prices of 12%. In just a few years, the market share of these brands has skyrocketed from 2% to 7%, a figure that rises to 14% if we take plug-in hybrids into account. You still have time to get your tickets for the gala Xataka NordVPN Awards 2025 on November 20 in Madrid! Join us and discover the best technological products of the year in a free event full of gadgets, humor and surprises. Advice offered by the brand And how is that possible? Because China has something that Europe does not have: total control of the production chain. They extract, produce, manufacture and assemble. They can also access affordable financing, free land and subsidiary energy. Companies compete under exceptional conditions with each other, encouraging price cutting and innovation. Not even tariffs can stop China’s advance. China, in fact, has not trembled when it comes to open factories on our continent to manufacture from within and, in the process, sow the seed of a more or less silent conquest. This is just a preview of a much longer report that you can see at the video on these lines. In Xataka | I have ridden a 100% autonomous XPeng Mona in a Chinese city. Tesla and Europe have a problem

There was a time when HTC sold more phones than Apple and Samsung. The question is what happened next: Crossover 1×28

by

In 2002 we still didn’t have smartphones, but I was lucky enough to see a preview of that future. I traveled to London with Microsoft and at that event the company presented the Orange SPVa big-headed and different mobile because it was based on Windows Mobile 2002. In it you could surf the Internet, write emails or listen to music, although in a limited way because neither the software nor the hardware were very competitive at that time. And yet, the vision was clear: everything was going toward those devices. What was surprising was not only that, but who manufactured that device was HTC. The Taiwanese firm was already beginning to be known for manufacturing devices for others, but it would soon end up launching into the smartphone market taking advantage of the push of Android. In 2011 its market share in the US became superior to Apple’s or Samsung, but after that achievement, the firm started making bad decisionsand other manufacturers joined in – especially from China – who began to make competition much more difficult. HTC never recovered from that and although it experimented with other segments like virtual realityfaded to a paper totally secondary in the technological field. We talk about all this in a new episode of Crossover in which we remember the great milestones of the company and that singular fall almost into oblivion.

The offer has arrived for which I would consider buying an iPhone 16 instead of the new generation of Apple mobile phones

He iPhone 17 has arrived with quite a few improvements and new features, so it was difficult to get interested in a iPhone 16 which has remained at too stable a price for quite some time. But things have changed with the new offer that it has received at Powerplanet, whose price finally breaks the barrier of approximately 800 or more euros that we see in other stores, remaining in this case for 699 euros.

It also has other interesting specifications such as its compatibility with Apple MagSafe —something that not all iPhones offer, like the iPhone 16e-, his IP68 certification with resistance to water and dust or its Camera Control button. On the other hand, it is also a good mobile phone for taking photographs, since on the front we find a 12 MP camera while on the back it incorporates a camera module that is made up of a 48 MP main sensor and a 12 MP ultra wide angle.

LineageOS 23 brings Android 16 to a wave of abandoned mobile phones, with more difficulties than ever. Google put a wall in the way

by

There is a feeling of betrayal that runs through the most veteran Android community. The reason is Google’s strategy, which has been closing a system that was born completely free: the development of AOSP (the source code of Android) now it’s more privateand the publication of the source code suffer delays that didn’t happen before. While many feel that “the soul of Android has disappeared”the community responds. And the biggest banner of that Open Source resistance has just been updated. In the image, Murena’s /e/ OS alternative ROM, which is based on the popular LineageOS Lifesaver for an abandoned mobile. The life cycle of an Android smartphone is usually not as long as the competition, although that is changing in recent times. From this premise, alternatives emerged such as LineageOS, which is actually the spiritual heir to the mythical CyanogenMod. For many users, it is the only way to have the latest version of Google’s OS and extend the useful life of their devices. LineageOS 23 expands. The LineageOS team has announced a new batch of devices that receive official support for LineageOS 23, its version based on Android 16. This update not only brings the news of Android 16, but also self-developed improvements. For example, “Catapult” and “Aperture 2.0”. The first is a new launcher for Android TV with a clear objective: replace the Google TV interface with a clean, fast and ad-free one. Instead, Aperture is the ROM’s camera app that has now been rewritten from the ground up with support for Ultra HDR and RAW capture. Google has changed the rules. The LineageOS team has confirmed on their official blog that this has been a complicated launch. As we have been saying, the more closed development of AOSP and the fact that Google no longer publishes the Pixel code with total transparency, has caused Google phones to no longer be as easy to support compared to those of any other manufacturer. Despite the difference with respect to the extinct Nexus, the Pixels have been the reference for Open Source development. That’s over too. Consequences. The change in strategy has materialized in delays to the Android 16 code: Google released Android 16 QPR1 for the Pixel (first quarterly update) but never published the source code on AOSP. For this reason, LineageOS has been forced to launch its version 23.0 based on the initial version of Android 16. In practice, ROM users do not currently receive news as notable as the Material 3 Expressive redesign. There are also uncertainty regarding security. Google has changed the way it releases system security patches. They are no longer monthly and complete; most corrections are now quarterly. For its part, the team behind LineageOS warns that this means that its ROM security patch levels could inevitably be delayed. The basis of Android “resistance” without Google. Despite all these difficulties, LineageOS continues to be one of the pillars of the “degoogleized” community. Not only is it an alternative view for the end user, but its AOSP code serves as the basis for privacy projects like the popular GrapheneOS either the European /e/ OS. Keeping LineageOS alive is keeping alive the possibility of an Android without Google in an increasingly controlled ecosystem. New devices. The latest batch of devices that join the official support of LineageOS 23 focuses, curiously, on the Google family and flagships from OnePlus and Xiaomi. Some of them are the Pixel 6, 7, 8 and 9 series, the OnePlus 13 or the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G. They add to the long list of those that debuted when LineageOS 23 was released a few weeks ago.

We believed that ‘Air’ and ‘Edge’ mobile phones were synonymous with cuts. Huawei wants to explode that idea with a figure: 6,500 mAh

by

The surname “Air” (or “Edge” in another case) is usually synonymous with an ultralight design and, therefore, of sacrifices. We have seen it in smartphones like the Galaxy S25 Edge from Samsung or your own iPhone Air of the signature of the bitten apple. The battery is the first victim in the quest for extreme thinness. However, Huawei seems willing to break this rule with its next Huawei Mate 70 Air after return to the top of the market in his native country. According to a wave of leaks and accompanying photos, the Chinese giant is preparing a device that not only claims to be the thinnest ‘Mate’ in history, but does so by integrating a huge battery. We knew that China had the solution for the battery of ultra-thin mobile phoneshere comes the first demo. A “normal” smartphone battery. This is the figure that is focusing all the attention of Huawei’s next launch. Leaks echoed by media such as Android Authority They point to a massive 6,500 mAh battery. If confirmed, in addition to being the highest capacity of a Huawei mobile to date, it would also dwarf the direct competition in the segment. slim: The iPhone Air has a 3,149 mAh battery, across the street, Samsung puts a 3,900 mAh battery in the Galaxy S25 Edge. An engineering challenge. How has Huawei managed to integrate this battery? Leaks indicate that the phone is built on an aluminum and glass chassis with a thickness of around six millimeters which would help. The images seen online confirm an extremely thin terminal that maintains the aesthetics of the Mate family, including its characteristic circular camera module. This is what the Huawei Mate 70 Air looks like in leaked images. Image: Weibo But without a doubt, the silicon-carbon batteries They are what have allowed the Chinese firm to take the leap. We have seen how these have allowed us to stretch the energy capacity up to 15,000 mAh in the case of Realme (still with certain unknowns about its durability) u 8,000 mAh in the Honor one. Without reaching these figures, the 6,500 mAh of the next Huawei Mate 70 Air seems feasible. It won’t skimp on photography either.. The Mate 70 Air looks at a triple system with a 50 megapixel main sensor (possibly 1/1.3 inch), a 13 MP ultra wide angle and an 8 MP periscope telephoto lens. It seems that it will not have to concede in the field of cameras, an ambition that aligns with Huawei’s strategy in recent times. one that has taken him to the throne of mobile photography recently with his Pure 80 Ultra.
