Samsung’s Galaxy Fold may have captured the media attention for a few days, but Huawei has thrown the cat amongst the pigeons with the Mate X. The Mate X is the fastest foldable 5G phone, which also has its screen folding the opposite way in comparison to the Galaxy Fold…. [Click for more]
Huawei will soon reveal how Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony was meant to end; after a whopping 197 year wait. A wait matched only by how long it took my local council to rebuild my local bus station… Using the power of AI, the Chinese handset maker will reveal next week how… [Click for more]

The camera on the Honor View 20 is very impressive, and for a week or so I’ve been out and about taking some photos to show off the camera. Unfortunately the weather has not been nice to me, but you can get a good feel for the 48-megapixel Sony-made camera,… [Click for more]
Xiaomi’s new Mi Store is about a lot more than just phones, and with Christmas on the horizon (and Black Friday happening now), I went along to check out some of the products on sale. Upon entering, I was very surprised to discover a huge range of gadgets to suit… [Click for more]
Quite understandably all the attention directed towards the new Honor Play is around its gaming prowess, but not many people would want a great device for playing games that isn’t also able to take good pictures. On paper the Honor Play’s 16+2MP dual camera setup doesn’t sound that amazing, compared to… [Click for more]

In my second Huawei P20 Pro gallery (see the first one here) I took a day trip to Edinburgh to play around with the camera in colour and monochrome modes, as well as putting the 3x and 5x zoom modes to good use. It’s a lot easier to zoom in… [Click for more]

In my previous write-up of the Huawei P20 Pro, there was something clearly missing – photographic evidence of how good the camera is. Until now! Here’s my first gallery that hopefully gives an idea of what it is capable of, and I’ll have more to contribute over the Easter weekend…. [Click for more]
My open gallery for the Mate 10 has been a huge success, and here are some of my top picks.

Having had the new Huawei Mate 10 Pro for less than 24 hours, I am yet to fully explore the camera – but here are some of the first photos taken on my trip home following the Munich launch event. What do you think? You can see all of these… [Click for more]
I’ve seen the future, and it’s not a smartphone! At least that’s the marketing that Huawei will be using to sell the brand new Mate 10 handsets announced today. In fact, it could very well be the smartest phone to date. The Mate 10 Pro accompanies a Mate 10, a… [Click for more]

Visitors to this site, my social media followers and anyone on the various forums I contribute to will know I’ve been an advocate of more affordable phones for some time, along with the many benefits that going down the SIM-only route can bring.

First of all, let me say that I really like Three for everything it has done to shake up the market over the years. And when Feel at Home launched, I was one of the many customers who could save a packet when travelling abroad. But as someone fortunate enough travel… [Click for more]

For a good few years now, I’ve spent much of my time writing about more affordable phones that offer exceptional value for money and without many compromises. But there’s always a recognition that if you’re happy to shell out top dollar, you’ll likely get the absolute best of the best. At least you’d expect so…. [Click for more]

Having had the Honor 8 Pro for a while, I’ve had a chance to take a fair few pictures. Choosing the best ones wasn’t easy, so I’ve posted a sizeable gallery here instead. You can also see a short edited video of the 4K video the phone can now record. It’s… [Click for more]

Without a doubt, data roaming will be easier in Europe from June this year, but venture beyond the EU (that we’re trying to leave anyway) and things can be rather complicated. And by complicated, I mean expensive. Let’s face it, in most cases data roaming totally sucks. Even on tariffs that already include roaming in Europe,… [Click for more]

Earlier this week, I went along to a recently opened store off Brick Lane that has a very simple premise: to demonstrate cutting-edge tech to the public. The difference is that this store isn’t actually selling anything. Joking aside about Shoreditch hipsters perhaps not being entirely representative of the general… [Click for more]
