Weekly poll: can five cameras seduce you to buy the LG V40 ThinQ?

There are no phones quite like the LG V40 ThinQ, a rugged handset with a refined taste in multimedia. It's the first phone with five cameras on board, three on the back and two on the front. More importantly, we could argue that this is the first triple camera done right. Three lenses, three fields of view - 107°, 78°, 47°. Mechanized optics for zooming never caught on in the mobile world, so this is the only way to overcome the last remaining advantage of point & shoot cameras. Huawei and Leica produced the first phone with a triple camera on its back, but we felt that the B&W sensor...

Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro in for review

Just over half a year ago, Xiaomi released its budget big-screen solution, the Redmi Note 5 Pro and just last month, the Redmi Note 6 Pro came to be. At first glance, the newer phone appears to be a minor hardware refresh and yet, we find some big improvements in areas in which the Redmi Note 5 Pro lacked. If you don't take the notch into account, the device offers more usable screen space than the last generation and also has better screen-to-body ratio. The side bezels and the chin have shrunk, screen size has grown - from 5.99" to 6.26" and it's now taller as well - from 18:9 to...

Weekly poll results: Realme 2 Pro is a winner

The Realme 2 Pro scored high in last week's poll. And how could it not when it undercuts even traditional "value for money" champs like Xioami's Redmi Note series? There were some concerns in the comments. Understandably, not everyone is a fan of the microUSB port. And people do wish for a larger battery (though, 3,500mAh is plenty, just ask LG or Apple). Another issue that came up frequently is that the Snapdragon 660 chipset is underclocked. The big Kryo 260 Gold cores certainly are, they run at 2.0GHz instead of the usual 2.2GHz. That still gives them a 0.2GHz lead on the...

Counterclockwise: Oppo's short history of making phones is filled with innovation

Oppo began life in 2004 and in the early days it made its name by selling high-quality Blu-ray players, amplifiers and headphones. Its entry into the phone business came in 2012, quite late in the game. Still, the company grew quickly, becoming China's top smartphone brand in Q2 2016 (a position it since ceded to Huawei, though parent company BKK is still on top cumulatively). Oppo's short history is filled with many firsts in mobile photography. The Oppo U705T Ulike 2 claims to be the first phone with a built-in beautification feature for selfies, which was used with the 5MP front...
