Weekly poll results: Redmi K20 and K20 Pro get a warm welcome

Well, that's a surprise - no, not that people like the Redmi K20 duo, we expected that much, but that the vanilla model got a higher ratio of approval than the Pro. To be fair, the two phones are quite similar, except the non-Pro model offers an attractive discount on price. The Redmi K20 does settle for a Snapdragon 730 chipset, but it isn't exactly slow. It's been years since a new generation flagship chipset offered a massive improvement and some of the commenters over at last week's poll agree that it's not necessary to get the 800-series chip. If you want power the Redmi K20...

Galaxy S10+ Park Hang Seo Limited Edition comes in a stunning Prism Silver color

Samsung has never been a stranger to launching exclusive colors and editions of its phones well after their initial release date. The latest Galaxy S10 pair is no exception. Recently the couple received a Cardinal Red finish, as well as an Olympic Games Edition. Both of these fairly limited in availability, but not really quite as unattainable as the latest Galaxy S10+ Park Hang Seo Limited Edition. If you don't know who Park Hang Seo is (we admit we had to double-check as well), he is a former football player and the current coach of the Vietnam national football team. Which would...

Flagship Samsung tablet spotted on GeekBench. Likely the Tab S5

The last time Samsung updated its tablet lineup (we're not really counting the huge Galaxy View 2) back in February it took the wrapping off the Tab S5e. A pretty mouth-watering offer, especially if you are after one of Samsung's industry-leading Super AMOLED units in as big of a diagonal possible. The Tab S5e comes with a 10.5 inch one for just around EUR 400, along with a whole bag of other goodies and features and a fresh new, ultra-slick 5.5mm body. Like the Tab S5e moniker suggests, however, it is not a true flagship device. It certainly looks, feels and has more than enough...

Hot Take: Google Stadia

Google is definitely writing some big checks when its comes to its Stadia cloud gaming service. There are still a lot of questions to be answered before we can even make any educated guesses on how well the online titan will eventually cash said checks. One thing is for sure, though - Stadia is closer than ever. With pre-orders for the $129 Founder's edition already live and a an initial launch scheduled for November, the gaming industry as a whole could very well be on the brink of a paradigm-shifting event. For better or for worse, of course, since there are many aspects to consider...

Samsung Galaxy Note10 tipped to go official on August 10

Samsung launched the Galaxy Note9 on August 9 last year, so the company was expected to unveil the Galaxy Note10 in the same month this year as well. And, if the information coming out of South Korea is to be believed, we will see Samsung make the Note10 official on August 10. However, this year, Samsung will launch two phones under the Galaxy Note series - the vanilla Note10, and its Pro variant. We recently saw renders of the Note10 and the Note10 Pro which confirmed that both these smartphones will have similar designs, except that the Pro model will sport a slightly larger screen...

LG Stylo 5 renders surface online

Ever since its last major waver of announcements back in February, LG has been keeping a rather low profile on the smartphone scene. As per a fresh new leak, however, it does appear the Korean tech giant did manage to fit some new product RnD amid its ongoing 5G efforts. The result of said work will likely be the LG Stylo 5. These leaked renders clearly originate from the case manufacturing scene, meaning that some of the minor design details could be a little off. That being said, the upcoming Stylo 5, as seen here, looks pretty similar to its Stylo 4 predecessor, as well as its Q...

Asus ZenFone 6 to arrive in India as Asus 6z on June 19

Asus was supposed to launch the ZenFone 6 in India on June 19, but a recent ruling by the Delhi High Court barred the Taiwanese company from launching any phone in India with the "ZenFone" branding. This led us to believe that Asus would either not launch the ZenFone 6 in India, or it would drop the ZenFone moniker, which seemed more plausible. And as expected, the company chose to go with the second option. The ZenFone 6 has been listed on Indian e-commerce giant Flipkart's website as "Asus 6z", and the landing page reveals that the phone will be launched in India on June 19. That...
