communication devices, they can be on hand for the caller at all times and used
in any place where there is a signal. The cell phone AX15Pro and PG22Pro are the
best smartphones on the market. Even though The AX device is actually slightly
wider and thicker, the PG22Pro’s in-hand feels better because the sides are curved, compared to the
AX15Pro’s boxy design with hard edges. 1. ______ PG’s screen technically packs more pixels, but you
won't really notice it.
