Weekly poll: Xiaomi's Mi 10T series make 5G affordable, but are they worth it?

Posted: 11 Oct 2020 06:33 AM PDT

The Xiaomi Mi 10T and 10T Pro are not the cheapest Snapdragon 865 phones, but they are on the more affordable end of the spectrum. And once you add the 144 Hz displays, there really is little competition unless you're shopping in China. The Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro brings a 108MP camera with OIS while its sibling has a 64MP sensor sans OIS. Other than that, they share the same screens, chipsets, stereo speakers, 5,000 mAh batteries with 33W fast charging. Let's focus on the screen as that's a key selling point. Both the Xiaomi Mi 10T and the Pro use flat LCDs with an adaptive refresh rate...

Weekly poll results: the Pixel 5 faces an uphill battle, the Pixel 4a 5G headed for disappointment

Posted: 10 Oct 2020 09:47 PM PDT

Last week's poll shows that there is not much enthusiasm for the two latest Google phones. The reasons why are pretty varied, though some did find things to love about the new models.

The most common reason is just that – money. The Pixel 5 is...
