Week 49 in review: Samsung Galaxy S10,A8s, nova 4, Snapdragon 855 and more
As we sweep week 49 of the year under the rug and look around to find there are only three left in the year, our news section sees an even bigger shift toward early 2019 devices. The Galaxy S10 dominated the headlines thanks to a few leaked renders and an alleged screen protectors that showed dual selfie cameras, embedded under the display. Another set of renders pointed to four cameras on the rear. In less glamours Samsung news the company was caught using a DSLR photo as promo for the portrait mode on the Galaxy A8 Star - for shame. And finally we have a date for the announcement...
Weekly poll: Nominees for Best Phones of 2018
There are only a few weeks left in 2018 and even though we're still expecting new phones to launch they will be too late to make a significant impact this year. So, we're no longer accepting applications for Best Phones of 2018. It's now time to vote. There were so many new devices that we can't just pick the Top 10 and ask you to vote. Instead this is a preliminary stage roughly divided into three categories: flagship, mid-range, entry level. We tried to include as many phones as possible while still trying to keep the lists at a manageable length. We were partly guided by the Daily...

Android 9.0 Pie rolling out to the Xiaomi Mi A1
Smartphones that are part of the Android One program come with a promise for timely OS updates. Well, it's hardly been timely, but Android 9.0 Pie has now rolled out to the Xiaomi Mi A1. The firmware weighs in at 1074MB and aside from bringing the major OS release, comes with support for FM radio - until now it wasn't available on the A1, but just on its Chinese-only twin 5X. The brief changelog also mentions new navigation options - whether it's the Pixel pill button and gestures, or Xiaomi's custom implementation, remains to be seen. Adaptive battery and brightness features...
Weekly poll results: second screens are loved, as long as they don't cost too much
Dual screens are a potential solution to the selfie camera craziness - no notches, holes, sliders, pop-ups and so on, just use the rear camera and the second display as a viewfinder. In last week's poll dual screens proved more popular than foldable phones. Even a small second screen is fine, though there's a clear preference for larger panels. That said, a surprising number of people commented that they don't care about selfies and especially video calls. Well, we guess that should worry Instagram's management more so than phone makers. Anyway, by far the most popular option was...
