Sony Xperia 10 III in for review

Say hello to the freshly-arrived Sony Xperia 10 III. This is Sony's midrange offering and it's one that may look simple to a fault, but is in fact stacked with everything you'd need. Let's unbox it and take it from there. The retail experience is a bit of a letdown for a phone that costs £399/€429 at its pre-order. There's a USB cable, a 7.5W charger that feels straight out of 2008 and nothing else. A case would have been nice. But hey, Sony does bundle a free pair of Sony WH-CH710N noise cancelling headphones with a pre-order.

Flashback: even more weird car-branded phones - McLaren, Aston Martin and Hummer

The kooky Siemens SX1 had a McLaren limited edition, but other phone makers have partnered up with the racing brand too. That happened a few years later when carrier Vodafone signed on to be the title sponsor of the McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team (the deal lasted from 2007 to 2013). Since it was the carrier calling the shots, it created a branding that was applied to several existing Samsung and Sharp phones to create limited editions for the 2007 championship.

Weekly poll: the Oppo Reno6 trio competes for your attention with 90 Hz screens, 5G chipsets

The Reno6 series was unveiled earlier this week and while plans for a global rollout haven’t been announced yet, we wanted to get your opinion on whether Oppo is on the right track with the three new models. We’ll start from the top. Of the three, the Oppo Reno6 Pro+ gets the best screen, camera and chipset.

Weekly poll results: the Poco M3 Pro 5G needs to prove that it is better than its 4G siblings

You can get a 5G phone on a budget, but how many people actually want a budget 5G phone? Judging by last week’s poll, there is a good number of people interested in the next-gen network technology, but the Poco M3 Pro is not necessarily their budget 5G phone of choice. Some already snatched one up during the early bird deal that knocked €20 off the price – in this segment, that is a significant discount. But now that the deal is over, people are holding off until the reviews come out. Others aren’t waiting, they have already settled on other 5G models that they like better.
