Top 10 trending phones of week 21

Image
Week 21 saw a slew of new hardware debut so just as last week our top 10 popularity chart now saw a bunch of new faces and plenty of movement.

The new phones of week 21

Image
Week 21 is at its end and as we look back at it and it was another one filled with smartphone announcements - 13 new phones debuted in the past seven days. Most of these phones were rumor mill lurkers but some of them, like the Meizu M8c and vivo Z1 almost came out of nowhere. The Samsung Galaxy Wide 3 was also an unexpected announcement but that is mainly down to its limited market availability - currently a Korean exclusive. The key announcement was the HTC U12+ - the Taiwanese company's latest flagship. Huawei made the Y5 Prime (2018) official with middle of the road specs, the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2shU9Ky via IFTTT

Week 21 in review: Xiaomi Mi 8 generates a lot of hype

Image
This week we focused a lot on the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 8 and its fast approaching May 31 unveiling. The phone was handled in the wild, we saw its translucent back and found out most of its specs.

Weekly poll: would you buy an HTC U12+?

Image
The HTC U12+ is barely out the gate and it already scored its first victory - DxO put it in 2nd place, right behind the Huawei P20 Pro. Those are some serious camera chops. Looking at the U12+ spec sheet and after our brief first person encounter with the phone, there's barely anything to complain about - besides launching this late in the game and the lack of a 3.5 mm headphone jack (an adapter is supplied in the box, though). The lateness is not so much an issues in itself, but it gave other flagships time to undergo a price adjustments. The P20 Pro, for example, started at €900, but... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2J62KdX via IFTTT

Android's evolution through the years

Sunday debate: Buying a mid-ranger every year vs. a flagship every other one

Image
Flagships are cool, but smartphones these days age very fast. So would it actually make more sense to do some mid-range bargain shopping and upgrade more often? Yordan and Ro discuss. Yordan: "Two new phones are better than a fast-aging flagship." Earlier this year I was arguing in a constructive debate with Ivan on the Custom ROM vs. Stock Android topic. One of my points was that manufacturers know their customers and this is something that applies to the pricing departments as well. Technology today is changing and evolving rapidly and slaving to a device is one of the poor... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2KZhfNY via IFTTT
