Honor 9X Pro in for review

Posted: 01 Mar 2020 06:35 AM PST

Despite being left without Google's Mobile Services since last May, Huawei and its Honor subsidiary keep pumping new phones. The initial response was to limit the availability of new phones outside China, but the company has been working hard on improving its HMS alternatives and is now slowly starting to re-expand its overseas portfolio. The Honor 9X Pro is the latest phone to go global and on the hardware side of things it seems to offer excellent value for its price tag.

Weekly poll: Sony asks for a second chance with Xperia 1 II and Xperia 10 II

Posted: 01 Mar 2020 03:23 AM PST

A year after the rebranding and change of direction of its mobile line, Sony unveiled the Mark II models - with multiple improvements, Sony seems to have delivered just the phone that people were asking for. But will you get one? We'll start with the Sony Xperia 1 II (read as "mark two"). The triple 12MP camera features major improvements from the previous generation.

Weekly poll results: Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro loved by fans, non-Pro just a bit more

Posted: 01 Mar 2020 12:12 AM PST

Xiaomi's latest flagship duo was welcomed with opened arms by fans in last week's poll. Interestingly enough, though, the more capable (but more expensive) Pro model placed second - it was very close, but still the base model proved more popular. The Xiaomi Mi 10 5G beat its Pro sibling by 2 percentage points. And it was well ahead of Mi Note 10, which is a good deal less expensive despite having two extra cameras. Telephoto cameras just weren't the most important feature for voters. The Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 5G does have a 5x zoom cam plus faster wired charging (50W vs. 30W), but its higher...

Flashback: LG G3 pioneered 1440p phone screens and Laser AF

Posted: 29 Feb 2020 09:00 PM PST

The LG G2 showed the world that a screen with thin bezels is a great thing. The LG G3 pushed that design further with a larger and sharper display - the first 1440p panel in the industry. And it came surprisingly fast. LG G3 The HTC Butterfly had the first 1080p screen on mobile, it came out in January 2013. A year and a half later, the G3 arrived with the first-ever 1440p display. Technically, Oppo announced the Find 7 first, but LG was first to market so we think it's fair to call the G3 "first". The 5.5-inch "True HD-IPS+" LCD panel had a pixel density of 534ppi, which is...
