It’s lightweight, fluid, simple, clean, well-integrated. Stock Android has a lot of positives to it, and I thoroughly enjoy running it on my 2013 Nexus 7. However, at the risk of upsetting all the Android purists, I’m going to argue here — like I have for the past year in various online and real conversations — that it is boring.

All of which would seem to point to a perfect start. Doubtless. However, the real challenge for the brand starts now. For while Poco has got the attention it is looking for, and also a very promising product at a killer price(read our review), it now needs to build on it. And history would indicate that that is a very different and difficult task. For notwithstanding all the (some choreographed, we suspect) screaming and cheering that accompanied the launch of the Poco F1, the fact is that this is not the first time a flagship level device has been released at what seems to be a surprisingly affordable price....

Despite consumers hating bloatware, smartphone OEMs have kept adding more and more of them to their smartphones with every new model they release.

The problem is even worse in China, where thankfully, the Shanghai Consumer Rights Protection Commission has now decided to take an action against the leading culprits — Samsung and Oppo....

Learning a skill is one thing, learning it from someone with demonstrable, experiential success in that area is another. When I scrolled through the course offerings, I couldn’t help fangirling: “They’re on MasterClass?” It was a learning experience to soak in the prerecorded words of some of my idols and jot down the wisdom they had to share. And it was less distracting than absorbing YouTube videos with tons of ads and recommendations scattered through the platform....
