Sunday debate: Curved vs. flat screens

Image
Ro: It's all about usability and curved screens don't really do that. It all began when Samsung unveiled its first-ever smartphone with a curved screen, the Galaxy Note Edge. It was a jaw-dropping device in an era when almost all smartphones were looking dull and pretty much the same. It also offered extended functionality on the edge. Almost a year later, the Galaxy S6 edge was announced with more features and curvature on both sides of the phone. And here's where things started to go downhill. Galaxy S6 edge Every phone released after that, not only Samsung handsets, was... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2NgoaUm via IFTTT

Top 10 trending phones of week 34

Image
The Samsung Galaxy Note9 only spent one week on top of our top 10 trending chart, before it had to concede it to the Xiaomi Pocophone F1. The cheapest Snapdragon 845 smartphone caused some real shockwaves and if Xiaomi can actually produce it in volume it might have a real winner on its hands. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is another phone on the rise, capturing third, ahead of last week's runner up - the Mi A2. In fifth and sixth we have a couple of new faces - the Oppo F9 slotting ahead of the Nokia 6.1 Plus or Nokia X6 as it was previously known.

Weekly poll: Xiaomi Pocophone F1, how hot is it?

Image
There are some phone launches that shake up the mobile industry. For example, in 2012 the $300 Nexus 4 (later $200) changed what people consider an acceptable price for a flagship. Then in 2014 the $300 OnePlus One did the same. Then there were four years of darkness that had people question if $1,000 is a sane price for a flagship with a Snapdragon 845 chipset. Well, it's not - not when Xiaomi's Pocophone F1 is on the market. It hits that same magical price of $300 and while phones like the Xiaomi Mi 8 and Asus Zenfone 5z were already pretty affordable, this draws a clear line in the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2NkM6WT via IFTTT

Pope compares Church sexual abuse, corruption to excrement, victims say

Image
On the first papal visit to the country in almost four decades, Francis used a speech at a state event that was also attended by some abuse survivors to acknowledge that it was to the Church's shame it had not addressed these "repugnant crimes" and said he sought a greater commitment to eliminating this "scourge". In a statement, the representatives from the Survivors of Mother and Baby Homes group said Francis condemned corruption and cover up within the Church as "caca", an Italian and Spanish word for human excrement. The statement said that after the pope used the word, his translator explained that it meant "literally filth as one sees in a toilet." A Vatican spokesman had no comment on the details of what was said in the meeting. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2o7cbgZ via Latest News
