EDITORIAL: In what is now Google tradition, new Pixel is a small improvment over the previous model: new processor, improved WiFi and faster (15W->25W) wireless charging is all that is really different this time.

* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Gaming
EDITORIAL: Just 6 months after it's predecessor, Z80 Ultra brings better hardware and software making this a very good value camera-phone option. With lots of physical controls, new version of OS and more tweaking of the solid (it not imperfect) camera setup. The beautiful 144Hz notch-less screen has minimal bezels and ultrasonic fingerprint sensor but no LTPO or HDR10+ tech yet. Just like it's predecessor, Z80 Ultra is a great gaming phone too.
