The immortal UltraPixel | Pocketnow Weekly 185

Our CES followups are done, our convention-center head colds are almost dribbled out, and the first small scents of jamon are starting to waft over from Barcelona. It must be almost springtime for Pocketnow, and you know what that means: the MWC 2016 rumor reactor is humming its way up to 100% power. Join us for HTC Perfume, LG Magic Slot, and Oppo world-domination promises –plus your listener mail– as we get ready to get techy on episode 185 of the Pocketnow Weekly!
