New affordable Realme certified with triple camera, huge battery

We've got our hands on a Mirror Purple retail unit of the Galaxy Z Flip and have been getting an idea of what it's like to use as a daily driver.

Top 10 trending phones of week 7

To noone's surprise the top 10 trending chart is changed beyond recognition this week as Samsung and Xiaomi debuted their new flagships. The Galaxy S20 Ultra is in the lead, from the Mi 10 and the vanilla S20. Surprisingly enough the Mi 10 Pro only placed a lowly ninth despite already being in the top 10 before its announcement.

Another Samsung mid-ranger - the Galaxy A71 sits seventh, while last weeks leader Poco X2 is all the way down in eight. The early signs might be encouraging for the...
