Weekly poll results: Secondary screens get limited support

The casual user needs just one screen, our poll shows. There is interest in a second screen, but it can't be just anything - ideally, the extra screen will be on the back and it will be eInk. The reasons range from checking notification to preserving battery, eInk is great for reading long texts and showing an Always on Display at no power cost too. It does, however, preclude using the second screen for main camera selfies (the low frame rate will be a pain). The Meizu Pro 7 was rumored to have an eInk screen, but it turned out that it's an AMOLED. There's YotaPhone, of course, but the...

Just in: Xiaomi Mi Max 2 hands-on

Back in May Lei Jun, Xiaomi CEO, unveiled the Mi Max 2. Expected to have the same camera quality as the flagship Xiaomi Mi 6 and the latest MIUI and Android software, we see the device for the first time as we are getting ready to review it. We got the Matte Black version of the phone, which was launched a month later. The first thing that grabs the attention when the Mi Max 2 is out of the box is its size. Xiaomi has kept the same humongous 6.44" LCD panel with Full HD resolution as the predecessor Xiaomi Mi Max but surprisingly comes with wider side bezels. The result is a slightly...

"Stamp" could be Google's take on the popular "Stories" format

Whether it's your particular cup of tea or not, the "Stories" format appears to be working well and thus here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future, that is. Especially now that Google is reportedly gearing up to release its own take on the polarizing social media format. "Stamp", as per a Wall Street Journal report is Google's name of choice and a clever play on its Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) technology and an "St" prefix, for "Stories". Similar to Snapchat's "Discover" and Instagram's and Facebook's respective takes on the format, "Stamp" will be composed of swipeable slides,...

Nokia 2 FCC report surfaces, complete with photos and dimensions

The Nokia 2 has been frequenting the rumor mill for quite some time now. Crude drawings, renders, benchmark leaks and even live photos - the budget handset has pretty much gone through the entire leakster agenda at this point. Still, there are a few pieces left in this particular HMD puzzle - even fewer now that the handset officially cleared the FCC.

New Philips S310X pops up on TENAA

Philips has been keeping a rather low profile on the smartphone scene lately. In fact, to the best of our knowledge, the Dutch company's last Android handset release dates back to the end on 2015. This might change soon, as a mysterious Philips S310X recently passed through the TENAA Chinese certification authority. Typically, this is indicative of an imminent release, however, the published information has a few confusing points. For one, it appears the device or devices that TENAA received run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow - a rather unorthodox and outdated choice for a still unannounced...
