Having had the Honor 5X for a few weeks now, I though it about time to do some comparison testing. The obvious ‘competitor’ is the slightly more expensive Honor 7, which has a 20 (20.7) megapixel camera over the 13 megapixel camera inside the Honor 5X. The Honor 5X […]
Followers of my blog, as well as people who read my Tweets and posts on forums, will know I now write a lot about affordable phones. By that I mean smartphones that don’t compromise the user experience compared to more expensive models elsewhere. Today, I’m writing about the Honor 5X from the launch event in Munich, Germany. […]
Having spent most of Christmas away, I’ve been pretty quiet on the writing front lately. But that didn’t mean I wasn’t still working. During my time away I was able to test out two products from Vodafone xone, a relatively unknown division of Vodafone that specialises in testing new products and services on early adopters. […]
When Huawei, the company behind Google’s flagship Nexus phone, invited me into town to take better photos of various London landmarks (and food) with a Nexus 6P and guidance from professional photographers, I naturally jumped at the chance. Going out taking photos with any phone is something I always find exciting. The action packed day […]
It’s been a long time since I last visited Vodafone’s Newbury HQ to talk about the introduction of GSM, and how mobile data might one day become a thing. We’re talking about a time when the company worked out of multiple offices dotted around town. Now the new(ish) campus has […]
Before Google officially announced the Nexus 6P at the end of September, I Tweeted about the possibility that it might be a dual-SIM phone, based on seeing twin IMEI stickers on prototypes – a standard feature on all recent Huawei made phones with support for two SIM cards. Two stickers on the […]
So I’ve had my Nexus 6P for a little over 24 hours, and I couldn’t wait to give a quick first impression of the camera – one of the main reasons I decided to take the plunge and buy one. Battery anxiety is a real problem for me these days, and […]
Earlier this week, I brought up the subject of using data abroad not being like using data at home as a Three customer. I am so happy to have received many comments on my site, and on Twitter, from people who have the exact same experience. The common theme being that certain […]
This week marks the first anniversary of Honor in the UK and Europe, and a lot has been achieved within this short time. Honor was launched as a spin-off brand for Huawei, first in China and then later spreading worldwide. The aim was to reach a new audience, and attract sales from people who […]
I’ve been thinking about this for some time, and this year is perhaps the year where it’s time for me to ask the question – where will the mobile industry go from here? This isn’t just for me to give my opinion, as I’m looking for your opinions on […]
At the start of the week I took delivery of the Honor 7, a £249.99 phone that can be picked up for as little as £210 if you can secure one of the £40 discount vouchers on the Honor vMall.eu store. (Tip: The next promotion starts September 21st, […]
When Apple announced the impressive iPad Pro yesterday, and the brand new iPhone 6s and 6s plus, I was quite shocked that Apple still thinks that 16GB (iPhone) or 32GB (iPad Pro) is sufficient storage. With no way to further add storage, you could make a very costly mistake […]
One of the killer features of the recently announced Huawei Mate S is its Force Touch screen, allowing pressure to be applied to do everything from acting as a set of kitchen scales to interacting with apps, like the gallery, for adjustable levels of zoom. Beyond that, it seems […]
On my trip to IFA as a guest of Huawei, I’ve been seeing rather a lot of their smartwatch. It’s not a brand new watch – it was announced early in 2015 – but at its recent press event, it has announced the release of the watch outside of a […]
It’s odd that Sony doesn’t seem interested in using optical image stabilisation (OIS) on its smartphones. Perhaps it’s to avoid losing sales of other cameras from Sony, but whatever the reality, it just seems rather stupid to me. But, Sony has for some time offered software stabilisation and on […]
Earlier this year, I carried out a detailed camera test with the Huawei P8 and the Honor 6 Plus on a holiday to Disneyland Paris, and now I’ve started to do some camera tests with the brand new Huawei Mate S, featuring a 13-megapixel RGBW camera that’s (on paper at […]
Yesterday, a new company hit the scene and launched two new handsets – one of which almost identically matches the Moto G on specs. But it’s up to £80 cheaper, so can it really compete on the same level? The Wileyfox Swift (see my unboxing here) being cheaper than its Motorola […]
It’s now becoming a bit of a tradition, and yesterday saw another day of testing in and around London to see how mobile data speeds are faring, checking how 4G continues to roll out and speeds increase with new technology, but also the impact of more people taking advantage […]
Having now got every single budget Motorola smartphone (bar one) since the first Moto G hit the shelves in November 2013, with the Moto E marking its debut soon after, I thought it was as good a time as any to see how each successive model compares against the last.
