Weekly poll: LG G6 - Hot or Not?

With the LG G6, the company feels like it has the upper hand on its perennial rival. The 18:9 Full Vision display that dominates the front with slender bezels is the defining feature of the new flagship while the dual camera on the back is a refinement of previous imaging modules (which were already quite impressive). If rumors prove to be true, Samsung will launch a similar phone - with an 18.5:9 screen and slim bezels, but the G6 will be unchallenged on the market for a month. And the latest rumors indicate that the Galaxy S8 will not have a dual camera while the G6 has the next...

Weekly poll results: Huawei P10 widely loved

Huawei knocked it out of the park with the P10 flagship. Over 70% of voters in last week's poll saw the potential of its high-scoring Leica dual camera and powerful Kirin chipset. There were some worries about the price, but that's the flagship way. And as Mixkhata007 points out, you can wait a couple of months for the price to come down a bit. If you want it now, pre-orders have already started. It is already available in Germany and should be shipping in the Netherlands. Brits will have to wait until March 31. Spain should get it a few days earlier.

Oppo F3 Plus passes through GFXBench

Word of a new pair of Oppo "Selfie Expert" handsets has been floating around for the past few weeks. Ads were quickly followed by leaks and then finally an official invitation to see the Oppo F3 and F3 Plus unveiled on March 23.

Hence, it is only natural to learn the F3 pair is already in testing, as evident by a GFXBench listing for the F3 Plus. Besides a good indicator for progress, the leak doe also offer another...
