Weekly poll: Xiaomi Mi A2, hot or not?

Image
The pure Android movement is picking up speed and when combined with mid-range hardware, it has the potential for great mainstream phones. Like the Xiaomi Mi A2), the second Android One phone by the company. It expands the screen vertically - from 5.5" 16:9 to 6" 18:9 - in virtually the same body. And it upgrades to a Snapdragon 660 chipset, which offers the added power of four Kryo 260 cores. Options with more RAM and more storage is available as well, though if budget is a concern, then the microSD slot will be the preferred way to get more storage. Compared to its predecessor, the Mi... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HBIxg3 via IFTTT

Meizu 15 in for review

Image
We went to China's beautiful Wuzhen town to witness the Meizu 15 debut and we were left feeling very positive about its prospects. Now we get to welcome the handset in our office as it joins our review queue, so we are wondering if the positive impressions will stand. What we have here is a phone that's oblivious to modern fads. It as a traditional 16:9 screen like the phones of yesteryear, a physical home button under it and not so much as a semblance of a notch anywhere on its metal-clad body. Don't take the Meizu's refusal to join the notch trend as a sign that the 15 is an... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2r7l4ZF via IFTTT

Weekly poll results: Moto G6 Plus is a star, the other budget models fail to impress

Image
The Moto G6 Plus is the mid-range Motorola worth having, our poll reveals. With over half the votes, this €300 model completely dominated its siblings. The difference between it and the non-Plus G6 include a drop to a 4-series Snapdragon chipset, which many deemed untenable. The reduction in screen diagonal - from 5.9" to 5.7" - proved less of an issue. We were surprised that neither of the large battery models - the Moto G6 Play (4,000 mAh) and Moto E5 Plus (5,000 mAh) - proved particularly popular. The latter especially seems attractive, that's a lot of battery life for €170. But... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2r8VR0c via IFTTT

Top 10 trending phones of week 17

Image
We skipped a week with our top 10, but the leaders have remained unchanged - the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is just ahead of the Huawei P20 Pro. There's plenty of action below though with the Oppo F7 gaining 7 spots to complete the rostrtum. The Asus Zenfone Max Plus is gone from the top 10, but the Max Pro has taken its spot and is sitting prettily in fourth, ahead of another new entry - the Xiaomi Mi 6X. The vivo V9 has retained 6th, while the Galaxy J7 Pro has surged to take 7th. Nokia X6 didn't wait for its announcement to make the top 10 and got the 8th position.

Counterclockwise: RAM capacity through the years

Image
We've looked at the growth of storage and the growth of CPU core count, now let us look at RAM - the intermediary between the processor and the permanent storage. Sometimes we feel that makers are trying to pull the wool over our eyes. With storage especially few mention if it's eMMC or UFC and that makes a huge difference in speed. Similarly for RAM there's rarely mention whether it's LPDDR4 or not, how many channels and so on. Instead, almost every time phone RAM is mentioned it is to boast about its capacity (or avoid the topic altogether, we're looking at you, Apple). So, let's give... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2r8Pjij via IFTTT

Great Barrier Reef given £275million investment as damage spreads

Image
Australia on Sunday pledged a major cash injection to restore and protect the Great Barrier Reef in what it said would be a game-changer for the embattled natural wonder. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said more than A$500 million (£275 million) will go towards improving water quality, tackling predators, and expanding restoration efforts. The World Heritage-listed site, which attracts millions of tourists, is reeling from significant bouts of coral bleaching due to warming sea temperatures linked to climate change. The reef is also under threat from the coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish, which has proliferated due to pollution and agricultural runoff. Mr Turnbull said it was the "largest ever single investment - to protect the reef, secure its viability and the 64,000 jobs that rely on the reef." "We want to ensure the reef's future for the benefit of all Australians, particularly those whose livelihood depends on the reef," he added. The reef is a critica
