Asus ZenFone 10 review: Small screen, big power

Score

A very familiar compact flagship

OPINION: While early foldables were overpriced and had less power and fewer features compared to candybar alternatives, the playing field has been levelled in the past year. Foldables now feature flagship-level processors, better hinge mechanisms, and even moderate water and dust resistance. Photography is still a bit of a weak point though, as it’s challenging […]

OPINION: OnePlus President Kinder Liu took to the stage at MWC earlier this year not only to reveal the OnePlus 11 Concept, but to tease the company’s first foldable.

OPINION: Google has been having a hard time convincing Apple to adopt the RCS messaging standard to bring iMessage-like features to Android users chatting with their buddies on iPhone, but there could be a different answer in the form of two upcoming (and competing) apps; Sunbird and Beeper.  I think most people are aware of […]

OPINION: Four years after the US set Huawei in its sights with a flurry of sanctions, Huawei is still trying to maintain a smartphone offering devoid of Google services.
