Top 10 trending phones of week 23

Our trending chart got an unlikely new champion in week 23, as the newly announced Nokia 2.2 got to the top, just a few days after its announcement. Last week's leader, the Redmi K20 Pro is now second, followed by the Samsung Galaxy A50, which loses a second position in two weeks. Samsung Galaxy A70 retained the fourth spot, ahead of the rising Redmi Note 7. The upcoming Galaxy M40 lost some ground compared to last week when it was on the podium, but it's still an impressive sixth considering its entry-level nature and the fact that it's not officially announced yet.

Week 23 in review: Apple's iOS 13 and iPad OS are here as are in-display cameras

But are you really missing out if you stay on iOS 12? Let's see what's new in iOS 13. Dark Mode!

As rumors swirl that Apple will go all-in OLED as soon as next year (including the XR model), this mode will become indispensable for improving battery life and eye comfort.

Quad Bayer sensors: what they are and what they are not

Seemingly overnight, a great variety of phones with 48MP cameras appeared - the first ones launched in December 2018. And interestingly enough, many of them are mid-rangers while plenty of flagships have settled on a 12MP sensor. What's going on here? What we're seeing is the emergence of the Quad Bayer filter - we've covered it before when the Huawei P20 Pro debuted such a sensor (of 40MP resolution). And because we feel marketing departments often fail to understand what this sensor is about we felt we needed to step in and clear the confusion. What's a Bayer filter? Let's start...
