"Battery capacity is by far the strongest point of interest, appearing in a lot of the titles in our stories. It's no coincidence that this year Silicon-carbon batteries became mainstream in Chinese smartphones. Slimness is also something readers cared about - it's the focal point of our most-read article of the year. Another interesting detail is that chipset announcements rivaled phone announcements."
"Chinese brands dominated the year's stories. Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco, vivo and iQOO, Infinix and Tecno, and Oppo all pushed bigger batteries and new form factors, outshining traditional makers like Samsung, Apple, and Google. Though Apple, despite its fewer announcements, always commanded fans' attention. You also engaged with stories about foldables - the Galaxy Z TriFold was among our top 100 stories of the year, despite appearing near the end of it."
Battery capacity emerged as the strongest interest, appearing frequently as silicon-carbon batteries became mainstream in Chinese smartphones. Slimness was a key factor and drove the most-read story. Chipset announcements from Qualcomm (Snapdragon 8 Elite, 8s Gen 4, 7 Gen 4), MediaTek (Dimensity 9500, 9400-Ultra), and Apple (A18, A19 Pro) matched phone launches in attention, reflecting increasing chip literacy and emphasis on performance. Midrange releases such as Oppo A5i, Infinix Note 50, Galaxy A56/A36, and iPhone 16e received strong interest, alongside flagships like Galaxy S25, Xiaomi 15 Ultra, vivo X200 Ultra, and Xiaomi 17. Chinese brands led with larger batteries and new form factors; foldables and naming inflation were notable trends.
