This week has proven to be a monumental one for the mobile technology sector, as several notable announcements have emerged from leading manufacturers, alongside a surprise discount on Apple's latest iPhones. The excitement is palpable in the tech community as consumers eagerly anticipate these new offerings.

Motorola has taken the spotlight by unveiling the first device in its next generation of Edge smartphones, the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion. This innovative phone features a stunning quad-curved OLED display measuring 6.67 inches, boasting a resolution of 1220p+ and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The screen promises vibrant colors and smooth transitions, enhanced further by its LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) technology. Adding a touch of elegance, the back is available in both vegan leather and textile-like finishes, all adorned with Pantone colors, giving it a stylish flair that is often unexpected at its price point.

Despite its sleek appearance and high-end display capabilities, the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is positioned as a mid-range device. It runs on the Dimensity 7300 chipset and is powered by a robust 5,200mAh battery that supports 68W fast charging. Users will appreciate the option for expandable storage and enhanced audio experience through stereo speakers, although it lacks the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack. On the camera front, the device is equipped with a 50MP main camera featuring optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 13MP ultra-wide lens on the rear. For selfie enthusiasts, there’s a 32MP front camera that supports 4K video recording at 30fps, showcasing the phone's versatility in photography.

In other news, Google has announced that the Pixel 9a will officially hit shelves in the UK starting April 10. Consumers can already secure their units through popular retailers, including Amazon, where pre-orders are now live. Buyers who opt to trade in their old devices will receive a substantial £150 bonus, making the new Pixel more accessible. Additionally, Amazon Prime subscribers will be treated to a complimentary case with their purchase of the Pixel 9a. For those curious about its capabilities, a review unit is currently in the works, promising a detailed exploration of this anticipated smartphone.

Meanwhile, the tech giant Samsung has introduced two new tablets under the Galaxy Tab S FE lineup, both of which are available for purchase immediately and come bundled with a complimentary AI Book Cover Keyboard Slim. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE retains the same 10.9-inch size as its predecessor but is noticeably thinner by 0.5mm and lighter by 26 grams. It features an upgraded Exynos 1580 chipset, which represents a significant improvement over the previous Tab S9 FE's Exynos 1380, thanks to its ARMv9 CPU cores and a GPU based on AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture. The retail package includes an S Pen, and users will find a microSD slot for additional storage. Battery life is also impressive, with an 8,000mAh capacity complemented by 45W fast charging capabilities.

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ has a larger 13.1-inch display, also featuring a 90Hz IPS LCD. While it shares the thinner profile of its sibling, the added screen size increases its weight by 37g. It also maintains the same 10,090mAh battery with 45W charging. Both tablets come with an IP68 rating, offering them protection against dust and water immersion.

As for the older Galaxy Tab S9 FE, it is now predominantly out of stock, with only the 256GB variant still available. Given the competitive pricing and microSD slot of the Tab S10 FE, it would be a wise choice for potential buyers. However, the decision is less straightforward when considering the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, as the previous model is available at a £170 lower price point, despite having an ultra-wide camera that has been omitted from the new version.

In a surprising twist, all current iPhone models—except the newly released iPhone 16e—are now available at a discount of £100 on Amazon. This promotional offer brings the vanilla iPhone 16 down to £700 for the 128GB model, while the iPhone 16 Plus is priced at £800. For those contemplating an upgrade, we provide comparison articles to help navigate the options, such as the differences between the iPhone 16 and 15, and variations among the 16-series models.

For those eyeing the flagship models, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max also benefit from the £100 discount, although the iPhone 16e does not qualify for this promotion as it is a brand-new release. Detailed comparative analysis is available for those looking to weigh the benefits of the latest offerings against their predecessors.

Lastly, Nintendo has finally unveiled the specifications for the highly anticipated Switch 2 handheld console. With a larger 7.9-inch LCD display that supports 1080p HDR10 visuals at a 120Hz refresh rate, this console is set to elevate gaming experiences. It is powered by a cutting-edge Nvidia chipset that accommodates DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and ray tracing features. While primarily designed for portable gameplay, the upgraded hardware promises stunning 4K gaming at 120fps when docked.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to be available later this year, but given the high demand, early reservations are encouraged. Amazon UK has implemented an invitation system for pre-orders, indicating its anticipated popularity and limited availability.
