Top 10 trending phones of week 27

After having the same set of phones in the same order for two weeks in a row week 27 brought more than enough changes to make up for the week-long lull. Xiaomi's new top dogs occupied the top two spots with the 12S Ultra ahead of the 12S Pro. Almost amazingly amidst all the surrounding movement the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has retained its third position. A leaked video detailed the upcoming Asus Zenfone 9 and it gathered more than enough attention to secure the upcoming phone the fourth position. That left the winner from the past two installments - the Nothing phone (1) all the way...

Oppo details what makes the Find X5 Pro's screen special

A phone's screen is incredibly important because it's your main point of interaction with it and all its innards. Your handset might have the best chipset and the best cameras, but if the screen isn't very good, you'll definitely notice - after all, you are looking at it every time you use your phone. There are two main screen technologies on the market currently as you may know, and IPS panels have mostly lost traction in favor of OLEDs, especially at the high end. But not all OLEDs are the same - yes, they all have the inky blacks, thanks to the way the pixels work, but other than that,...

Tecno Camon 19 Pro in for review

This is the Tecno Camon 19 Pro, which was announced at Rockefeller Center in New York just last month. It's a very good package for a great price, equivalent to $210, although limited availability means not everyone will be able to get it at that price. The phone ships in a well-equipped box with a 33W charger, a USB cable, 3.5mm earbuds, and a case. We got both the Camon Premier 19 Pro and its stablemate, the 19. They both have 6.8-inch IPS LCDs of 1080p resolution, but the Pro refreshes at 120Hz, while the vanilla does standard 60Hz. Both phones have a 5,000mAh battery, but...
