| Weekly poll: can Poco M3 Pro 5G's low pricing tempt you into buying one? Posted: 23 May 2021 06:51 AM PDT  The Poco M3 is a hit, the company has shipped over 3.2 million units since the phone launched. Now comes a Pro version of the device – that should be even better, right? In many ways it is and the early bird price of €160 is just over the current price of the vanilla model (€150, a 4/64GB configuration in both cases). That is obviously a great price for a 5G phone, but does the Poco M3 Pro 5G hold up once you look past its modem? Compared to its 4G-only vanilla sibling, you get a higher refresh rate for the screen (90Hz), a faster chipset (Dimensity 700), newer Android version out... |

| Weekly poll results: the Asus Zenfone 8 excites, Zenfone 8 Flip flops Posted: 23 May 2021 12:11 AM PDT  Asus caused a buzz in the smartphone world – something it hasn't done in quite a while. The Asus Zenfone 8 in particular lit up people's excitement with its petite design and reasonable price. It was the clear favorite in last week's poll. It's not perfect, but it doesn't need to be, it just needs to be better than the other phones in its category and there just aren't many of them. Save for the iPhone 12 mini, this is the smallest 5G flagship around. Sony's Xperia 5 III and Samsung's Galaxy S21 come close, but they are still bigger. And pricier. Though they do have telephoto cameras... |
| Apple clarifies lossless audio on Apple Music, assures it's coming to the HomePod Posted: 22 May 2021 08:41 PM PDT  Apple today published a support article that clarifies some details about its upcoming lossless audio support on Apple Music.

| ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G in for review Posted: 22 May 2021 05:11 PM PDT  This is the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G, a phone that ZTE announced for the Chinese market in April, and that will make it to global markets on May 27. Starting at $749/€749/£649 for the 8/128GB trim and moving up to $849/€849/£739 for the 12/256GB top offer, the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G is rather aggressively priced and it seemingly cut no corners getting there. You get a potent 66W charger inside the box as well as a USB cable, earbuds, a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle and a thin case that leaves the phone's flat sides exposed. The design of the Axon 30 Ultra 5G stands out immediately. Sharp lines... |

| Samsung Galaxy F42 5G moves a step closer to launch as it gets Wi-Fi certified Posted: 22 May 2021 10:40 AM PDT  Samsung introduced the Galaxy F52 5G a couple of days ago, and it will introduce the Galaxy F42 5G soon, which has been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, moving it a step closer to the launch.
