OLED isn't all it's cracked up to be just yet. Here's why

Oppo R17 Pro Smartphone Hands-on Review

Oppo R17 Pro Smartphone Hands-on Review

Knight in radiant armor with a few flaws. The Oppo R17 Pro tries to combine suave aesthetics with flagship-grade performance. With a launch price close to ₹45,990 (~US$660), the R17 Pro didn't find too many takers. Now, with a more reasonable pricing and several software updates to iron out some wrinkles, the R17 Pro is still a leading contender in the upper mid-range segment. Does the R17 Pro have what it takes to outclass other Snapdragon 710 phones or is there still work to be done? We aim to find out just that.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will be a chinless wonder

An apparent screen protector for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 10 has been leaked online, and if it is genuine then the rumors about the vaunted phablet having a bezel makeover are justified. The Galaxy Note 9 is a terrific device but it has a considerable chin to it, which seems to be something the Galaxy Note 10 won’t be emulating.

Remember the HTC Wildfire? Well, the Taiwanese company is seemingly giving the series a new lease of life, having registered ten new device names in Russia. Just when we thought HTC was about to give up the ghost itself.
