Weekly poll: Poco F2 Pro costs more than the original but does more too - is it worth it?

Few phones are cheered on by fans as if they were a sports team, but the original Poco was one of them. Now after two years of waiting it finally has a successor, but our initial reactions are a bit conflicting. The Poco F2 Pro may well be the cheapest phone to pack the flagship Snapdragon 865 chipset - it certainly is on the global stage. Do we care that it's actually a Redmi K30 Pro with a "Poco" label glued on? Unless you're in China (the only country where you can actually buy the K30 Pro), then no, it doesn't really matter. With a €500 price tag it's both a great deal and...

Weekly poll results: the LG Velvet can have a bright future, but the price needs to come down

LG may have a sleeper hit on its hands - the consensus from last week's poll is that the LG Velvet can have a bright future, though very few people think that the company got the pricing right. KRW 900,000 ($735/€680) is what the LG G9 should cost and this is lacking a few too many features to be a G-series device. And at this point we're not sure that people would pay G9 money for an actual G9 (if it ever comes out), LG really needs a win here. And it can have it, but it needs to drop the price. The rugged (yet sleek) body, roomy AMOLED display, 5G connectivity and optional Dual...

Foxconn reports lowest quarterly profit in 20 years, predicts return to stability in Q2

Foxconn's quarterly profit has hit a two-decade low in Q1 this year as the company was forced to cease operations in China amidst the coronavirus pandemic and demand from key customers such as Apple was on the low. The company reported a net profit of $70.3 million, a 90% plunge year-on-year, the lowest figure since Q1 2000, and less than a quarter of a market analyst's previously estimated value. Things are looking up, the company says in a statement, and predicts it will stabilize in Q2, now that all of its factories in China have reopened. The forecast for the next quarter...
