How it looked

We hash the visible text on every check, so a redesign registers and a rotating advert does not. An app that has not changed in a long time is not necessarily abandoned — but it is a fact worth knowing before you depend on it.

What it does

Tracks release cycles across Samsung, Google, Nothing, Xiaomi, POCO, OnePlus, Oppo and Motorola and gives a buy-or-wait call per series, with days remaining until the expected launch and whether current offers are good. It also has a launch calendar and a device comparison view.

What people say

No reviews yet.

We would rather show none than invent them.

Embed this status

Put it in your README. It updates itself every time we check, and links to your verification record — evidence a stranger can read, not a page selling them something.
