Sony Xperia XZ Premium vs iPhone 7 Plus quick camera comparison

Earlier this week Sony had us over at an event promoting the pending launch of the Xperia XZ Premium - their flagship phone. We had already had a few hands-on sessions with the XZ Premium around the MWC 2017 back in March but now that Sony is getting ready to release the phone, we finally got a unit that we could play with as much as we wanted. The event's venue on the sunny Troia peninsula in Portugal offered us a great opportunity to walk around and take a few comparison shots with the XZ Premium and the iPhone 7 Plus, which we had around. Here they are, enjoy! Sony Xperia...

Counterclockwise: phone storage through the years

This time we decided to take you for a trip down memory lane - literally! We will recall some of the best phones throughout the years that allowed you to carry "massive" amounts of data - photos, videos, music and anything else. We start our story in 2005 since that's when phone storage started growing in earnest. So let us re-introduce you to the Nokia N91, which had room for as much as 8GB. That impressive number was achieved with miniaturized computer technology - a hard drive. Yep, spinning platters and moving read heads in something that was likely to be dropped on the pavement....

Week 17 in review: Galaxy S8 still making headlines, iPhone 8 rumors intensify

The Galaxy S8 once again occupied the news in the past week. The main reason were some issues with red tint on the display and fast-charging troubles with old charging pads. We also heard more of the refurbished Galaxy Note7 that is allegedly coming out in June. In other news, a phone named "iPhone 8" appeared on Geekbench, but just two days later a rumor from Foxconn hinted that we might not see an anniversary iPhone at all. A KGI statement backed such info since the OLED iPhone supply might not be on schedule. We also heard Huawei is once again the leader on the Chinese smartphone...

Weekly poll results: Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ loved equally

Last week we asked you if you prefer the Samsung Galaxy S8 or the bigger Galaxy S8+ and the opinions seem very evenly split - the S8 won with 52% to 48%, a very narrow margin indeed. The primary difference between these two is the size (and, well, price). Sure, the plus model has a bigger battery, but that brings only a minor bump in endurance (our testing showed 84h for the S8 and 88h for the S8+). Normally, the smaller phone outsells the bigger one and we wondered if this will be even more true this year seeing how the Galaxy S8 already has a bigger screen than its predecessor...

Top 10 trending phones of week 17

Fifth week in a row the Galaxy S8 stands tall at the top in our weekly interest chart. The other two handsets on the podium are unchanged over last week - Xiaomi Mi 6 follows second and the Galaxy J7 Prime stays in third. The Galaxy S8+ retains its fourth position as well, but the Redmi Note 4 surpassed the more affordable Redmi 4a to grab fifth. And then there's a surprise - Motorola Moto M jumps out of nothing in 7th - now this is a device we haven't seen in this chart since December. The well-known Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy S7 Edge go hand in hand at 8th and 9th after being...

Weekly poll: are you getting the Sony Xperia XZ Premium?

The Sony Xperia XZ Premium will ship in about a month - at the end of May or the beginning of June. You'll have to part with €750 to get one - a price comparable with other 2017 flagships (but about €100 more than the XZs). And don't forget that you have incentives to pre-order. And you may want to grab the Bronze Pink color option. Well, will you? Pre-order, that is. You did vote it the best flagship of Sprint 2017 and when we asked you about the Xperia XZs, most Sony fans said they are holding out for the Premium. And why shouldn't they, the XZs only gets you the new camera, the XZ...
