| Flashback: Palm Pre showed us the way to the future then faded to obscurity Posted: 19 Apr 2020 07:27 AM PDT  How the mighty have fallen - before it was acquired and snuffed out by HP, Palm was known for popularizing Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), an ancestor to the modern smartphone. And before webOS was the software powering LG TVs, it was the best touch operating system for smartphones. The Palm Pre and webOS made their debut in June of 2009 when iOS and Android were still relatively young. Both the phone and its platform introduced features that are still in use today, even if people rarely remember the pioneers. Palm Pre The pebble-shaped handset was fairly compact and... |
| The new phones and tablets of the week Posted: 19 Apr 2020 04:19 AM PDT  These last seven days were filled with high profile announcements - we had an Apple phone, two new OnePlus flagships, three devices from Honor, flip-phone from LG and a renamed Honor midranger. There were even Bluetooth earphones - here's a quick summary, in case you missed any of the launches. First, we're starting with the Apple iPhone SE (2020) - this name is so influential, we were hearing rumors about a second SE pretty much since the first one was announced in 2016 (how the time flies). But despite the name this is essentially an iPhone 8 with its TouchID home button and classic... |
| Weekly poll: have the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro lost what made the brand special? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 01:10 AM PDT  It's a story as old as time - or as old as the concept of "flagship killers" at least. OnePlus may have gotten its start by offering more for less, but its phones changed gradually over the years, which brings us to today. The OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro can't be called flagship killers. That title hasn't applied to the company's phones for a couple of generations now, but they still offered great value for money. Today we ask you if that's still true. The OnePlus 8 Pro starts at $900/€900/£800. That's the MSRP of the Galaxy S20 5G, for example, but even two minutes of shopping around will... |
| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:48 PM PDT  While we were all expecting a successor to the G8, LG instead announced a successor to the V50. The LG V60 ThinQ 5G is the latest fully featured flagship smartphone from Samsung's Korean rival. LG doesn't go quite as hard with the spec sheet as others like Samsung and Oppo, but it also doesn't go as hard with the price point. |
| OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro: random thoughts Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:01 PM PDT  OnePlus introduced the new 8 and 8 Pro this week and now that the dust has settled here are a few thoughts on the new additions. These are mostly about where they fit in the global scheme of things and what they represent for their maker - if you want to learn more about the phones themselves we have hands-on articles for both OnePlus 8 and the 8 Pro. The flagship killer is no more Let's kick-off with the elephant in the room and the thing that definitely has the greatest number of fans riled-up. Starting at USD 699/EUR 699 and USD 899/EUR 899, respectively the vanilla OnePlus 8 and the... |
| Weekly poll results: phone usage has gone up during the quarantine Posted: 18 Apr 2020 06:43 PM PDT  Last week's poll shows that the quarantine has lead to people spending more time on their phones - but mostly for entertainment. There's also a strong contingent of PC and laptop users while tablets... well, it seems that no one uses those. Just under a third of voters say that they use their phone for both work and entertainment now that they are stuck at home. For some that's all they have as they haven't needed a PC at home until now. And some raised an interesting question - will this experience affect your upgrade plans to get something more capable? The majority of the vote went... |
| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 02:31 PM PDT  Introduction Huawei and Honor's smartphones are going through a tough time outside of China, so it's only logical for the companies to seek other revenue streams to keep the ship stead. And with the Windows license secured, laptops are an obvious candidate to fill a part of the void. But are they competitive enough to get a sizeable chunk of that market? We now have the Honor MagicBook 14 for a review and we are about to see if its real-life performance matches the excellent value for money promised by its specs sheet. If the MagicBook 14 look familiar it's because it's mostly... |

| Realme X50 Youth camera specs tipped Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:30 AM PDT  Realme announced the X50 5G in January and followed it up with a Pro variant next month. The company is expected to add the X50 Youth Edition to the lineup soon, which according to a popular Chinese tipster will feature a total of six cameras - two on the front and four at the back - like the vanilla X50 and Pro model.

| Google working on a smart debit card to rival Apple Card Posted: 18 Apr 2020 08:30 AM PDT  Apple announced the Apple Card last March and Huawei unveiled its physical payments card last week. Now TechCrunch reports Google is also preparing to announce its physical payments card. Its exact name is currently unknown, so let's call it Google Card for now.

Besides, Google Card will come with a... |
