| Weekly poll results: Samsung Galaxy A71 outshines its sibling, the A51 Posted: 22 Dec 2019 05:00 AM PST  Last week's poll shows that Samsung has a potential hit on its hands - the Galaxy A71 received strong support. However, its retail price is yet to be announced, so we'll see how that goes. Its sibling, the Galaxy A51, didn't fare as well, only getting 40% positive vote, which was nearly even with the "the A71 is better" option at 35%. We do know the price of this one, $350/€310, which is above the asking price of premium mid-rangers in the Redmi and Realme lineups. That should be an even bigger worry for the Galaxy A71 as it will inevitably cost more (we described it as the... |

| Flashback: the Nokia N91 was legendary for its audio quality, but was a one-off Posted: 21 Dec 2019 06:00 PM PST  Nokia unveiled the Nseries in 2005 with three devices - the N70, N90 and the star of today's article, the Nokia N91.
