Let’s just say that the Sony Xperia XZs did not ignite people’s imaginations. In last week’s poll, twice as many voters are waiting for the Xperia XZ Premium than those planning to get the XZs. Worse still, the most popular option proved to be “I’m...

Life goes slowly at 960 frames per second, enough to make the Xperia XZ from October last year seem old. Old enough to have a successor that is, the Sony Xperia XZs. The upgraded camera is certainly the highlight of the ‘s’ version, and not just...

One in five voters had already pre-ordered a Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ when we launched our poll and that number has probably gone up a touch since then. Some pre-ordered it blind, based just on official info. However, one in three said they will wait...

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are official and stores and carriers are already accepting pre-orders. Are you one of the early adopters? There are some perks to pre-ordering - you’ll get one of the first units available and bundled...

When we asked if the Galaxy S8 price was fair, the number was still just a rumor. The actual number proved lower - $720/€800 for the S8 and $840/€900 for the Galaxy S8+. Still, most votes fell in two categories. The first (a minority) thinks that...

Voters in our weekly poll showed strong interest in the LG G6, now it’s up to LG to turn the hype and early launch into sales. T-Mobile already started shipping pre-ordered units and an unlocked US version is on the way. It’s already on sale in...

With the LG G6, the company feels like it has the upper hand on its perennial rival. The 18:9 Full Vision display that dominates the front with slender bezels is the defining feature of the new flagship while the dual camera on the back is a...

Huawei knocked it out of the park with the P10 flagship. Over 70% of voters in last week’s poll saw the potential of its high-scoring Leica dual camera and powerful Kirin chipset. There were some worries about the price, but that’s the flagship...

It would be easy to confuse the P10 for a Leica phone - the German camera brand features so prominently on the new flagship. The Leica Dual Camera 2.0 on the back features SUMMARIT-H lenses, feeding light into one 12MP color sensor and one 20MP...

The Mobile World Congress introduced us to many new phones from all market segments. And even though we split them into three categories, the newcomers got into a tug of war for fans’ votes. There’s no definitive winner of the Best MWC 2017...

The Mobile World Congress 2017 is officially over. After a few busy days, we have many new smartphones on our hands and we’ve already shared our first impressions of them. You can check out our overview of MWC 2017 for the highlights. Now it’s...

The future is now, sort of. USB Type-C has reached mainstream adoption and is steadily pushing away the trusty old microUSB 2.0. That said, microUSB is far from dead - it is actually the only port 43% of our readers have on their...

Some of us are working on an HTC 10 evo review and have to deal with the reality having USB-C as the only port. No, not even a 3.5mm headphone jack. But that’s not the only issue, we have plenty of microUSB cables in the office while our USB-C...

It seems that we’ve hit a wall when it comes to mobile screen resolutions - not that the technology isn’t there, it’s the purpose that is missing. Sure, VR enthusiasts (15% of voters) are excited for 4K 2160p screens since virtual reality headsets...

Doesn't everybody love a good pixel war? Just a decade ago QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) screens were considered high-res and now you can even find 1080p displays on phones under $200. We even saw a 4K screen in the meantime - the Xperia Z5 Premium...

You are the 1%. Seriously, 70% of voters in our recent poll either already have Android 7.0 Nougat or are within weeks of getting it. That’s way above average. Only 10% have installed a custom ROM to get it too. That’s fewer people than those who...

It’s a never-ending rat race this, keeping your phone’s software up to date. Phone manufacturers have become more responsible about providing security updates, but they can still be uncooperative when it comes to bringing you the latest and greatest...

LG tried something novel with the G5 but recent leaks show it’s changing course for the LG G6. Gone is the removable battery and gone are the bezels (the headphone jack is reportedly safe and sound). The LG G6 is rumored to have an usual 2:1 screen...

We received schematics for the Galaxy S8 duo with dimensions and discovered something amazing - the upcoming S8 will be about as big as the S7 it replaces, but its screen will be as big as that of the S7 edge! Similarly, the Galaxy S8 Plus will have...

It’s no secret that the Nokia 6 is a fan favorite. We polled our readers and nearly a third of them said they will buy it in a heartbeat if it becomes available in their region. Still, this model has one fatal flaw - surprisingly, it’s the...
