Top 10 trending phones of week 29

This week's 10 most popular phones in our database are exactly the same as those from week 28 and yet not a single one of them is where we left it. The hype surrounding the Poco M2 Pro launch has died down so the former leader founds itself all the way down in sixth. The Redmi Note 9 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A51 have now reclaimed the top two spots, while OnePlus is clearly successful in hyping up the Nord as it's already in third. The Redmi Note 9 and Redmi 9 duo follows, while the M2 Pro makes it three Xiaomi-made phones in a row. Samsung's Galaxy A71 and A21s take seventh and...

Week 29 in review: Oppo shows 125W charging, OnePlus Nord teasers intensify

As the OnePlus Nord is scheduled for announcement next week, we got a bunch of stories about it last week. OnePlus' Carl Pei showed off the phone in grey and cyan. He also appeared to be using the new OnePlus Buds, in matching cyan. The Buds were confirmed to launch alongside the Nord on July 21. The battery capacities of the iPhone 12 series were revealed by certification docs. It looks like the iPhone 12 models will have slightly smaller battery capacities compared to the current iPhone 11 lineup. The 5.4-inch iPhone 12 will have a 2,227mAh cell, the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro will...

Oppo Enco M31 wireless earphones review

The Enco M31 are the latest pair of wireless earphones from Oppo. On paper, the Enco M31 seem fully featured, with LDAC, Hi-Res Wireless Audio certification, IPX5 certified water resistance, and Ai-powered noise cancellation for voice calls, all at a relatively affordable price. The inclusion of LDAC alone should put a smile on a few faces, as support for this codec is largely absent in budget audio gear. And the Enco M31 is well and truly "budget"; I picked up this pair for INR 1999 from Amazon India, which is only about $26. So what's the catch and how do they perform? Let's find...

Weekly poll results: Poco M2 Pro fails to impress fans of the original

The original Poco F1 was born out of unique circumstances – Xiaomi managed to secure a cheap supply of flagship Snapdragon 845 chipsets and made an affordable, powerful phone, a true flagship killer. That was a lucky alignment of the stars that hasn’t quite happened since. Something else happened too – the Poco brand entered the mid-range market and more recently, the segment below that. But does that even make sense? Last week’s poll gives a definite answer – no. Adding 33W fast charging to the Redmi Note 9S (aka Note 9 Pro in India) is not enough to satisfy Poco fans. Was fast...
