Pocketnow Weekly Podcast

We get the irony of having the editor-in-chief of Phandroid on to talk about Apple's latest announcements (which did not include the iPhone 12, of course) but Nick Gray had plenty to say about the new iPad Air and the new Apple Watches. JV then talks with him about the excitement around one of the most interesting phones of the year, the LG Wing.

TK Bay brings his Surface duo to the show to talk about foldables -- well, technically Microsoft's return to the smartphone space is more like a dual screen device, but we talk about it alongside other pieces of news like the impending Apple event invite and Android 11 dropping at the beginning of the week. JV is currently in the middle of an evacuation warning near one of the wildfires currently ravaging the California forests. We are keeping all those on the west coast in our hearts and minds, hoping the fires do not take more lives and livelihoods. Take care of yourselves and each other.

OnePlus is apparently about to bring an affordable phone to the States, but it's far from the Nord we might have expected.

The Sony Xperia 1 ii (pronounced "mark 2") is showing how much Sony is trying to make a smartphone into a pro-level enthusiast camera rig, and TK Bay joins JV to basically talk about why he loves it so much. Before that, there is a little talk about gaming phones that both of the fellas have been enjoying lately and some thoughts on the battle that Twitter is in with the current government administration.

JV and David Imel haven't caught up in some time, so they were due for a conversation that goes in multiple directions on the Pocketnow Weekly! There is a bit of structure to the discussion after the check-in, including talk about IFA 2020 in Berlin still happening and the considerations they have to take before getting on a plane in September. After that, JV takes out the craziest and maybe funnest phone he's used this year so far, the Black Shark 3 Pro -- after expounding on the idea that the Poco F2 Pro is just a rebranded phone. (Josh doesn't think it's that big a deal.) Become part of the conversation on Twitter by mentioning @pocketnow and @jvtechtea with the hashtag #PNWeekly!   Follow our guests!

The Poco F2 Pro gets announced globally, adding fuel to the fire of mid-tier priced but powerful smartphones. Back in the US, the TCL 10 Pro is on it's way and some reviews are already out, so we give our thoughts on the $450 smartphone. After that, some gaming phone talk with the Red Magic 5G and the obsession that is Call of Duty: Mobile!
