Weekly poll results: ROG Phone II, Xperia 5 and Nokia 7.2 voted best at IFA2019

IFA saw a pretty diverse and colorful set of phone announcement this year. Everyone seems to be working on a mostly separate agenda, or at leas different enough to make for some really stand-out devices. In this week's poll we asked you to pick favourites and its official, as far as flagships go the Asus ROG Phone II proved to be an over-achiever in yet another category - fan love. One of the best and most tricked-out smartphone on paper, the gaming monster already managed to pass our rigorous review process with flying colors. And now it's pretty clear that Asus stumbled upon or rather...

Flashback: iPhone 4, the phone that made Apple a camera and display powerhouse

Apple introduced the latest generation of its smartphones, iPhone 11, and it reminded us of one of its predecessors - the iPhone 4 introduced in early June 2010. Like the 11, this phone brought a change in Apple's naming scheme and design language and its best features were its camera and its display. The iPhone 3GS had a smoothly curved back made of glossy plastic. Jony Ive's design for the iPhone 4 called for an exposed aluminum frame sandwiched between two panes of strengthened glass - a recipe that has been copied by just about every phone maker since. The iPhone 4 introduced...

LG might be getting back into tablets with the G Pad 5

Straight off the bat, this is clearly an extremely odd leak. Not only has LG been out of the tablet game for over two years now, but the Snapdragon 821 chipset just seems too old to even be available at this point. That being said, references to the G Pad 5, as well as LM-T600 or code-name TF10 have been creeping up all over the place. The LM-T600L (or LMT600L) has received a radio certification by RRA in South Korea. More crucially, the same model number was also spotted in a recent kernel source code upload entry on LG's own servers. LMT600, LMT600L and LMT600US were originally...

Another Huawei Mate 30 case leak offers a closer look at the circular camera module

Yet another case leak for the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 (or perhaps it could be the Pro, we can't really say). To absolutely nobody's surprise, it features a circular camera cut-out on the back, alongside a thin vertical sliver. No surprises these, since we have already seen the same general layout on a number of other case leaks, as well as the recent very detailed CAD renders of the P30 Pro. Yet another leaked protective case for the Huawei Mate 30.#huawei #Mate30 #5G #Kirin990 pic.twitter.com/UpKDYfwNWF— Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) September 14, 2019 The potentially interesting bit...
