The Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21+ got downgraded to flat 1080p+ displays, while the S20 and S20+ had curvy 1440p+ displays. “Downgrade” may not be the right word here because last week’s poll shows that Samsung has done its homework. We split up...
You get a lot of attention for being first and in the case of the Xiaomi Mi 11 it is positive attention. Nearly half the voters in last week’s poll would buy one if the phone gets good reviews. Even without reviews, 24% are feeling optimistic about...
Samsung never enabled 120Hz mode at 1440p+ resolution for the Galaxy S20 family, despite what some early rumors claimed. This year it’s looking like the new LTPO panel on the Galaxy S21 Ultra will finally enable 120Hz at the top resolution. The two...
That was quick – the Snapdragon 888 was unveiled on December 1 and the first phone to use it arrived on December 28. This is more than a paper launch to claim “first”, by the way, the phone goes on sale on January 1. This means that the Xiaomi Mi...
The new smartphone feature that most people are excited about is the under display camera. The first such phone arrived earlier this year, but 2020 also saw the rise of some questionable design trends. Trends that our readers do not want to see...
We already established the features you look forward to in 2021, but now we wanted to know the opposite – which recent trends in smartphone design would you hate to see continue next year? Most phones today have three or four cameras, even the...
We asked and you told us: under display cameras will be your most anticipated smartphone feature of 2021. This is the second year in a row that you’ve selected this specific feature on top of your list and there’s good reason – the tech is slowly...
At the start of this year we asked you what will be the most exciting features of 2020 smartphones. Now that the year is almost over it’s time to look back and see if makers delivered and to ponder what will be the highlight features of 2021...
Time to pop the champagne – here are the best phones of 2020 as determined by you after two rounds of voting. Thank you to everyone who participated, now without further ado allow us to present the winners in each category and the...

Last week we had a round of voting to determine the Best Phones of 2020 in seven different categories. While five categories continue to a final this week, two categories have their outright winners. The Asus ROG Phone 3 ZS661KS knocked out its...
2020 is almost over (finally!) and major phone launches for the year are behind us. So, it’s time to reflect on everything that happened in the smartphone world this year and pick the best phones that launched over the last 12 months. We’ve...
If last week’s poll shows anything, it is that it’s better to launch a phone before the shopping holiday, not on. The Poco M3 got a bit over 50% positive vote, which is a strong showing for an affordable phone, though most of those who are...
The Poco M3 became available in the US and Europe this Friday – and since this isn’t just any other Friday, the $150/€150 phone was discounted to $130/€130. The price just about fits in the entry-level segment, but the phone’s 1080p+ display,...
The need for 5G is a contentious topic with many still not being sold on the next-gen network technology – or just plain not having access to it. Which doesn’t bode well for the Realme 7 5G whose defining feature is... well, it says it right in the...
Realme launched its first 5G phones earlier this year, but they were part of the premium X-series. Now the company is ready to bring out mid-rangers with next-gen connectivity. Ready to bring them globally, that is, as there are already a few models...

This year Apple unveiled its largest phone ever alongside the smallest iPhone in a long while. The iPhone 12 mini stands alone in its size category, as the SE is bigger (despite having a smaller screen) and the Xperia 5 II is not really a Compact...
There is a clear favorite in last week’s poll – the Moto G 5G secured just over half of the votes, giving it a decisive victory against its sibling, the G9 Power, and (more importantly) warding off the negative votes. The comment section is not...
