ZTE A20 5G to be called Axon 20 5G, arriving on September 1

Last week a phone with model number ZTE A2121 appeared on numerous certification pages, suggesting the Chinese manufacturer is bringing a successor to the ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G, codenamed A2020. The company CEO said it will be the first phone with an under-display camera, and today the official page on Weibo revealed it will be called ZTE Axon 20 5G. The new device will be launched on September 1, which is in two weeks. The Axon 20 5G is not going to be the first mobile with under-display camera in the world, but will be the first commercially available smartphone - after all we’ve...

Top 10 trending phones of week 33

It's an Ultra phone topping our trending chart once more, but it's coming from Xiaomi this time. The newly unveiled Mi 10 Ultra is such an exciting piece of tech that it's hardly a surprise that everyone wants to know more about it. It's a real shame few will be able to see it in person, though. The Galaxy Note20 Ultra stepped down to second, as the OnePlus Nord returned to the podium now that th Pixel 4a announcement hype died down. Samsung Galaxy M31s has also gained a place to capture fourth, ahead of the Redmi Note 9 and Note 9 Pro duo. The Samsung Galaxy A51 is the most...

Week 33 in review: Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra and Microsoft Surface Duo debut

Xiaomi made by far the most headlines this week - the company celebrated its tenth anniversary in style introducing its first Ultra phone. The K30 Ultra is a powerful "flagship killer", bringing top notch specs at a mid-range price, while the Mi 10 Ultra is a properly exciting powerhouse with 120Hz screen, 120W charging and a periscope module that goes up to 120x zoom. Sadly, it was later confirmed that neither of the phones is coming out of China. Microsoft had a big announcement of its own as the Surface Duo foldable phone finally got properly detailed and its pre-orders kicked...

nubia Red Magic 5S in for review

We had the nubia Red Magic 5G in the office back in April and found it to be great value for moeny in our review. But it's now time to see how its successor has improved on it and where it stands against the H2 2020 competition. So, what has nubia improved with the Red Magic 5S? Before we answer in more detail, let's do an unboxing. The nubia Red Magic 5G had a 55W charger in the box, while our sample of the Red Magic 5S brings a measly by comparison 18W unit.

Weekly poll: Did Microsoft get the Surface Duo right?

Technically, the Microsoft Surface Duo was announced last October, but the company only shared the detailed specs this week, as the pre-orders for the foldable phone started. So now that we have the full picture we can better judge if the company got it right on its return to smartphones. There's no denying that the Surface Duo is an exciting piece of tech - the two super slim halves and the 360-degree hinge allow you to fit an 8.1" screen in your pocket, while the company has tailored the UI to offer unrivaled multitasking. The hinge allows the Surface duo to work folded back...

Honor Router 3 review

Introduction Wi-Fi has been such an integral part of all of our lives for so long now that it almost seems weird to be discussing its specifics. For most, it is just something that is there and works, no questions asked. This can be attributed, in no small part, to the way the new 802.11 standards have full backward compatibility. So no matter how old your Wi-Fi client or access point is, they can always agree and connect. Now the same holds true for Wi-Fi 6, aka AX Wi-Fi. Don't let the different name format confuse you, though. If your router at home supports 802.11ac or 802.11n, this...
