Weekly poll: what kind of dual (or triple) camera setup is best?

Alright, it's been a year since we asked, so it's time to check if opinions have changed. What kind of dual camera setup do you prefer? Or even a triple camera setup - we'll let you vote for multiple options in this poll. If there's a clear winner, then just one extra camera is enough. If there are a couple of popular options, then a triple camera is needed to cover all bases. Last year, monochrome secondary sensors won by a thin margin. They were important in boosting low-light performance, but they may not be so relevant today. Apertures have reached f/1.5 on the Galaxy S9 and S9+....

Sunday debate: In-display vs rear-mounted fingerprint scanner

With makers chasing ever increasing screen to body ratios for their flagships, there's just no room for the front-mounted fingerprint scanner of yesteryear.

Weekly poll results: fingerprint readers are the prefered lock mechanism

People are not convinced by this whole "face scanning" thing - fingerprint readers are here, they work, why over-complicate things with new tech? The "fingerprint reader" option in last week's poll received over half of the votes. It's telling that the "both" option is a distant second (34% vs 56%) and "3D face scanning" by itself barely got any votes at all. Interestingly, more than a few comments mentioned iris scanners, a tech that seems to be on its way out (you can't do animoji with an iris scanner). Anyway, it seems that most people prefer the fingerprint reader for its...

As we rush headlong into Summer, each week one of our editors will take a moment to reflect on what they thought of the year so far and look forward to what's coming up. Known for long diatribes - I'll keep this short The 2018 highs and lows I'd expected to dive straight into flagship territory, but strangely it's not where my thoughts first turned. Maybe it's because our expectations are set sky-high for flagships these days but one of the genuine surprises this year for me was the Moto G6. My gym phone/pub phone - call it what you will, has always been a Motorola, I...
