| Oppo Reno 10x zoom in for review Posted: 26 May 2019 07:00 PM PDT  Oppo says its Reno series is about "seeing the world from a completely new perspective" and the Reno 10x zoom is the de-facto flagship of the compny. If you didn't guess by now, the 10x stands for the phone's hybrid zoom capabilities but it's limited to 5x optical despite what the name implies. Another cool quirk is the motorized shark fin selfie camera which helps it stand out in the sea of pop-up and punch hole solutions but we're not quite sure of the practicality here. The Reno 10x zoom is a substantial phone with all the bells and whistles that 2019 has to offer so let's go... |
| Top 10 trending phones of week 21 Posted: 26 May 2019 02:59 PM PDT  Week 21 is sort of a transition week, as it still feels the aftermath of the series of high-profile launches from Week 20, adds a couple phones of its own as well as one that will only go official next week. The OnePlus 7 Pro was unable to retain its popularity over the week following the one of its launch, and gave the first spot back to the Samsung Galaxy A50. The Asus Zenfone 6 on the other hand kept climbing and completed the podium. Honor 20 Pro debuted on Tuesday and shot straight to the fourth spot. What makes this particularly impressive is that it was achieved despite... |
| A timeline of the Huawei ban: what happened so far and what to expect Posted: 26 May 2019 11:00 AM PDT  Last Friday the US Commerce Department added Huawei to the "Entity List", aka the blacklist. Essentially, this meant that US companies are banned from exporting hardware and software to Huawei. The full impact of this became clear just days later. Over the weekend Google suspended Huawei's access to its services - Huawei can still use Android AOSP, but not the Play Store or other Google-run services. Existing devices will keep working and even receiving security updates. On Monday, the US decided to delay the ban by 90 days. A few days earlier Huawei announced that it has stockpiled... |
