EDITORIAL: Like Samsung, Apple has introduced a slim phone this year. And just like Samsungâs, Appleâs new entry replaces the bigger non-Pro model that wasnât selling too well. 17 Air is the only iPhone this year to keep the Titanium build and the only one to come with just 2 lenses: one on the front and just one in the back. Other then being 5.6mm thin, 17 Air offers the same screen with anti-reflection coating and the same new âCenter Stageâ selfie camera as this yearâs Proâs. Itâs A19 Pro chip has 1 core less and a noticably slower performance when compared to 17 Pro Max. Night mode photos are painfully slow to take. The still and video imaging is very good but remember: you wonât have access to any meaningful zooming or ultrawide action. At least, Airâs battery life is better then Samsung Edgeâs. We wish it more luck then iPhone Plus had.
EDITORIAL: This year for the first time, Poco is making a flagship phone. It is a rare and generous upgrade from previous Poco phones, hense the Ultra moniker. To get down to itâs price point, some compromises had to be made.er replacement feature
