Every Friday we rank the week’s news by your interactions, not our taste: likes ×3 − dislikes + replies ×5 + reads ÷50. This week we published 15 stories from October 17 to 22, and engagement was light again: one story received a like, three registered reads, and the rest tied at zero and are ordered by weight of the news.

1. Winner: Galaxy S27 back to January, and Samsung torn between LPDDR6 and LPDDR5X

The only story with a like (3.04 points). After the S26 slipped to March, leaker Lanzuk says the S27 returns to its traditional January slot, with memory as the sticking point. Read it

2. OPPO Find X10 and X10 Pro Max go global

The most-read story after the winner: €1,800 for the Pro Max and a 7,150mAh battery outside China; today the UAE price arrived. Read it

3. iPhone Duo launches Friday with no walk-in sales at Apple Stores in the UAE

The practical story for anyone planning to visit a store today. Read it

4. HONOR Win2 official: two fans inside the phone and a 10,100mAh battery

5. iPhone Duo battery officially 4,883mAh

The number everyone was asking about, from the EU product sheet. Read it

My take

The winner makes sense: any news about the Galaxy S launch date matters to a huge slice of the Gulf more than any Chinese phone. But the same note as last week applies: one vote decides the list. The “Worth it / Not worth it” buttons under every story are what build this page, so if you want a ranking that represents you, press them.
