Weekly poll: is the OnePlus 7T Pro a worthwhile upgrade?

OnePlus' product strategy for 2019 left people confounded - the company continued expanding in the US, but without the affordable OnePlus 7. Then the OnePlus 7T came out as a massive upgrade, leaving buyers of the vanilla 7 a little sour. And where was the OnePlus 7T Pro, anyway? Well, here it is - the OnePlus 7T Pro was announced at a separate event, a couple of weeks after the 7T. But while the 7T was a huge leap in capabilities, the 7T Pro is incremental at best. It's almost like the company separated the events because the 7T deserved all the spotlight and the 7T Pro... Let's run...

Weekly poll results: Surface Duo excites, but leaves many questions unanswered

The people are excited - last week's poll shows that Microsoft managed to grab your attention with the Surface Duo phone. This seems to be largely built on the strength of the Surface brand. Fans have certainly come to appreciate the quality of recent Surface tablets and laptops. And Microsoft promises to bring this same quality and brand recognition to phones. Some thought that other makers will rush to make dual screen phones ahead of Surface Duo's far-away launch late next year - but that's hardly a concern as Android-powered dual-screen phones predate the Duo by years. Build quality...

Xiaomi patents a corner selfie camera design

The full-screen front design has become pretty common lately although, most of the full-screen implementations are on high-end to mid-range devices. So what about the low-end? It appears that Xiaomi has a pretty nifty solution in the works as per the latest patent. The listing reveals a smartphone design with a front-facing camera crammed up in the upper corner of front panel. At first, the cutout seems smaller than the current punch-hole implementations and some of the pictures even suggest that cutout isn't even necessary. It may seem a bit strange at first but come to think...
