I’m in a rather fortunate position to have access to a lot of different devices, and sometimes it’s nice to change for the sake of change. There’s simply no such thing as one-size-fits-all, so I thought I’d post some personal choices and recommendations of phones I think are […]
Originally destined to launch at the end of 2019, Three’s 5G network (not to be confused with its home broadband service launched last year for Londoners only) will go live at the end of February in 65 locations. It will be launched with a showcase of its ‘5G […]
Having already shown an advert at the Super Bowl, the Galaxy Z Flip didn’t turn out to have many surprises at today’s launch event. At £1300 SIM-free, and on sale this Friday (Valentine’s Day no less), it is definitely throwing the cat amongst the pigeons. Perhaps not as […]
Samsung’s 2020 Galaxy S series has been formally announced, and there’s something for everyone in the new flagship family. Comprising the S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra – with 5G options for all three – the new handsets aren’t going to be cheap (there’s the S10 Lite for that, […]

The Mate 20 X was announced in October 2018, but yesterday DxOMark finally gave it a score for its camera. The total score of 111 puts it in the top 20, and serves a reminder of just how good this phone was when it first hit the market. […]
I’ve assumed it before, and still BlackBerry has continued in some form or another, but the statement issued today doesn’t sound promising for the future of BlackBerry. While a lot of people have long since moved on from using a BlackBerry, despite almost certainly having fond memories of […]
Huawei has introduced its latest MateBook D series, available in 14 and 15.6-inch guises. Part of Huawei’s new 2020 vision to ‘bring digital to every person, home and organisation for a fully connected, intelligent world’, these laptops will be part of a new ecosystem of products that will […]
