I haven’t reviewed a wearable for a while, as I’ve been perfectly content with my ageing Amazfit Bip, but I can’t claim to be into technology without looking at other products from time to time. When Honor gave me a Band 5 to check out, I was immediately […]
At the start of this year, Planet Computers (the company behind the Gemini PDA) showed off a prototype of its second-generation portable computing device that uses the classic Psion keyboard design, connected to modern-day hardware. The Gemini is still available to buy, but the Cosmo Communicator takes things […]
Honor’s 20 series launch event couldn’t have come at a worse time, but thankfully all three models are now available to buy in the UK. I’ve already talked about the Honor 20 Lite and shown off the surprisingly good photos from the entry-level handset, but the Honor 20 […]
OnePlus came about with bold claims of building ‘flagship killer’ handsets at far more affordable prices. With the OnePlus 7 Pro, including its first 5G model, the company is gunning for top spot. I’ve been fortunate enough to get both the standard and 5G models, and you can […]
When it comes to flagship Huawei phones, you can be assured of two key launches every year. In the autumn, the Mate series showcases the latest chipset. In the spring, it’s the turn of the P series to break new ground on the camera tech. In the past, […]
Huawei has today launched the P30 Pro, a handset that the company claims will rewrite the rules of photography. Is this merely the standard hype for a phone launch we’ve become accustomed to, or actually something that genuinely changes the game? I’m inclined to go with the latter, […]
While some of you might be familiar with Oppo, having perhaps imported your own from China, many will have little to no idea of who, or what, Oppo is. At the start of the year, the Chinese phone maker announced its entry into the UK, with a launch […]
Cast your mind back to 2013 when Nokia launched a phone with a 41-megapixel camera. Many people thought the company had gone mad. Today Honor has launched a 48-megapixel endowed phone in the form of the Honor View 20. Almost six years on, I doubt anyone will think […]
If you look at the flagship Mi MIX 3 alongside the forthcoming Honor View 20 and a bunch of other phones on the horizon, it would appear the short lived love affair for screen notches has come to an end. At £499, the Mi MIX 3 is a […]
Newsflash: Phones costing £1000 or more are seeing a reduction in sales. Who would have thunk it?! Thankfully, Honor has a cunning plan with a sub-£200 phone that is anything but low-budget. Increasing prices in line with inflation is expected for most things we buy, but in the world of tech, […]
This review feels quite odd because it’s of a Chrome OS laptop that was unveiled waaay back in May 2018, and yet has only just begun shipping. In fact, I’m not even entirely sure that it has actually begun shipping at the time of publishing my review….! What’s […]
Xiaomi’s Mi Mix 3, with its totally full-screen sliding display, is coming to the UK in the new year. By utilising a slide-up design to reveal the selfie camera(s), the phone can offer a 93.4% screen-to-body ratio, without any notches or cut-out holes. The phone isn’t itself a […]
Can Sony get its mojo back? With so many phones grabbing the headlines in the run up to Christmas, Sony’s XZ3 has seemingly been all but forgotten about. But I’ve had a chance to test the phone for the last month and feel it only right to remind […]
Portable hotspots, like the TP-Link M7450 Mobile Wi-Fi, have become a very useful way to get multiple devices online when travelling, and a good alternative to draining the battery on your smartphone with tethering enabled. For one thing, most phone plans don’t come with the same amount of […]
I have no qualms about saying the main product of interest to me, and likely you, at Huawei’s Mate 20 Series launch event yesterday was the announcement of the Mate 20 Pro. But after announcing that and the Mate 20 (not destined for a UK release), Huawei sprung […]
So many new phones end up being evolutionary than revolutionary, that it becomes a welcome surprise when a company brings something new to the table. In the case of the Mate 20 Pro, Huawei has brought a whole new table. It wasn’t that long ago that Huawei revealed […]
Alongside the new Huawei Mate 20 Pro comes the ‘Lite’ version, which the company has been pitching as a direct competitor to the iPhone XR. At £379, compared to £749 for the iPhone, it’s quite a bold comparison to make – but on paper the specifications are certainly […]
It doesn’t seem like very long ago that released the Honor Play, the first ‘gaming-centric’ phone from a company targeting ‘brave’ digital natives. It ticked all the right boxes for a respectable £279 retail price, but that hasn’t stopped Honor releasing an even bigger screened device, but with […]
As flagship phones get increasingly expensive, there’s an ever-growing market in the mid-range for affordable, but still well-performing, smartphones. Today Nokia launched the Nokia 7.1, a sub-£300 (£299) Android phone that offers an affordable phone with a large 5.84-inch HDR display, an enhanced dual-camera set up with Zeiss […]
Honor has been building phones for almost everyone, but did it have one especially for gamers? Well, it does now! The Honor Play is Honor’s latest offering that aims to offer avid mobile gamers the best mobile experience, and I’ve had one for just over a week to […]
