Could This Be The Best Camera Phone Of 2019?

Two years ago, a Finnish company called HMD Global set up shop across the street from the old Nokia headquarters to resurrect one of the world’s most famous cellphone brands. Around the same time, an American company called Light built a crazy camera using multiple sensors to coax DSLR-like performance out of a smaller package. Today, these two companies have come together to produce an ambitious photography-focused smartphone. These are my first impressions from an afternoon with the Nokia 9 PureView....

Galaxy S10 Hands On: No Surprises, No Compromises

You heard it a lot in 2018: less expensive smartphones are getting so capable that you don’t need to spend $999, $899 or even $749 for a great product.

Lenovo Yoga C930 Review: An Ultra-Portable PC With Perks!

The Lenovo Yoga C930 is an ultrabook, built with portability in mind, and a guy named “MrMobile” has to love that, right? But Lenovo didn’t stop at making a thin and light PC; it built in nearly everything you need for a premium computing experience, from the gorgeous 4K display to a Dolby soundbar in the hinge to a built-in cover for the webcam. There’s even a silo for the included stylus. The only thing keeping me from making the Yoga C930 my go-to Windows machine is the absence of discrete graphics – but even here, Lenovo’s foresight provides a workaround. See what I mean in the Lenovo Yoga C930 Review! ... Read More | Share it now!
