Twelve months of mobile technology have passed us by and we’re here to remember the parts that you probably forgot, right? Because 2018 in politics, the economy, other news and miserable things. Why not talk about notches, batteries and fifteen cameras!

We also figured that we’d pop out the drinks while we’re at it. Hey, what do you want? We’re not doing a New Year’s Eve show. This is the best you’ll get. It’s best you can expect from the Pocketnow Weekly!
