Just a few short years ago, Nokia was seldom mentioned on Android Police... or much of anywhere, really. Microsoft gobbled up Nokia's renowned smartphone division and still couldn't make Windows Phone work. The remainder of Nokia partnered with HMD to revive the brand in 2016, and some of the phones to come out of this partnership are fantastic, helped by Nokia/HMD's commitment to Android One. We've given high marks to phones like the Nokia 6.1 and 3.1—both fantastic budget devices. The 7.1 caught our attention because it's going after a long-neglected space with its $350 price tag. The Nokia 7.1 presents itself as the best of both worlds: premium features and hardware with a price that's still manageable. On paper, the Nokia 7.1 has a lot going for it: a powerful mid-range Snapdragon chip, a big … [Read more...] about Nokia 7.1 review: Unrealized potential

But there are also a few missed opportunities, too. In this post we look at the GPD Pocket 2 specs, price, and its anticipated release date.

Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL review: The best gets (mostly) better
Article Contents1 Specs2 The Good3 The Not So Good4 Design5 Display6 Camera7 Performance and battery8 Software9 Conclusion We were all a little concerned to see the Nexus program come to an end, but Google assuaged our fears with the 2016 Pixel phones. They weren't the prettiest devices on the market, but the Pixels showed what was possible when Google got serious about making a phone. These devices had terrific cameras and consistently fast performance—even to this day the Pixel and Pixel XL are robust experiences. They were not perfect, though. The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are a chance for Google to address some shortcomings from last year while keeping the things that worked. Google has done that for the most part. The new Pixel phones are still super-fast, and the cameras are even better than last year. The Pixel 2 also has a few new software tricks, and it's water-resistant. At the same time, Google has made the controversial decision to drop the headphone jack, and have … [Read more...] about Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL review: The best gets (mostly) better

It comes with a more powerful processor, a better camera setup and wireless charging.The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 was announced back in September last year, as an upgrade to the first-gen Mi MIX handset which managed to surprise many people with its design. That being said, the Mi MIX 2S is now here, and it builds on what the Mi MIX 2 had to offer. As its name says, this is not a whole revamp of the phone, but simply a refinement of what the Mi MIX 2 had to offer. Having that in mind, the Mi MIX 2S does come with a more powerful processor, Qualcomm’s flagship SoC, a new display, and a slightly tweaked design. The company also put some effort in the camera department, so the Mi MIX 2S does not sport a single camera as its predecessors, but comes with a dual camera setup on the back.This handset is, however, quite similar to the Mi MIX 2 in many ways, including its design, … [Read more...] about Xiaomi Unveils Mi MIX 2S With SD845 SoC & 8GB Of RAM: Everything You Need To Know
