Our Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review is finally here. Is it the best phone of the year? Maybe, but we’ve got five things that make it truly great. We also check out the Pocophone F1 — how cheap can a phone with a Snapdragon 845 processor go? Lenovo is launching five new tablets, three of which you probably shouldn’t buy. Plus, someone is leaking Pixel 3 XL information like a Dutch fable and we know basically everything there is to know about it: what it looks like, all the new camera features, and what comes in the box.
Also in your top Android news, we’re taking a look ahead to next week’s IFA 2018 show in Berlin. We’ll be on the ground, and we’ve got a roundup (and a podcast) of everything we expect to see. Finally, we have a look at a new fitness tracker, and five awesome Android games that are worth their price rounding out our news of the week. So strap in, and give your seat belt an extra tug. Let’s get going.
