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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Yesterday at a lavish event in New York, Samsung unveiled the new Galaxy Note 9, along with the Galaxy Watch and a new Bixby-powered Galaxy Home speaker. Earlier it had launched the Tab S4 at a separate event. I wasn’t at either launch event, but I was invited […]
Today in Paris, Huawei unveiled three new P-Series smartphones; the P20 Lite, P20 and P20 Pro. For reasons you’ll discover soon, I am concentrating my attention on the P20 Pro. Every time a new phone is released, you can be pretty sure the camera will be the centre […]
A short hands-on with the Honor 9 Lite, and some first impressions of the new ‘affordable premium’ phone.
Honor invited me to see the launch of two exciting new smartphones just in time for Christmas. Check out the Honor 7X and View 10.
I knew that having been in the game for so long would pay off eventually, as I finally got a hands-on with a device I’ve longed to see for almost 20 years! The new Gemini PDA, from Planet Computers, is the spiritual successor to the Psion Series 5 […]
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 […]
As part of Vodafone’s 2017 collection of own-brand smartphones and tablets, the network has today announced the Smart V8 as its new flagship. At a recent event I got one to take away for review, and here are my first impressions. Unlike last year’s high-end Platinum 7, which came […]
At last, the daytime photos I promised from my group test, comparing Huawei’s P10 with last year’s P9, and also the Mate 9 (which on paper has an identical camera set up to the P10). I’ve also added some videos, some 2x hybrid zoom shots and panoramas. This […]
I’ve been meaning to post these pictures earlier, but sadly had some trouble with the photos after a little trouble with backed up photos. I had more, but some got lost and left me without three photos at each location. It’s annoying, but hopefully what I’ve been able to […]
This morning I saw Alcatel’s new A5 LED, a mid-range smartphone that comes with a rear filled with colourful LEDs to add a new dimension in notifications. It’s not the first time coloured LEDs have been put in a phone that can do more than, well, notify. Nokia […]
Spending all day at MWC didn’t give me as much time as I would have hoped to go out and take photos with the Huawei P10, but come late afternoon I got a chance, as the sun was starting to set for the night. Here are those results, […]
Ahead of the official start of Mobile World Congress, a number of manufacturers couldn’t wait to spill the beans about their new products. In the case of Huawei, it decided to talk up the P10 (and P10 Plus) weeks in advance (with daily videos on its YouTube channel), […]
Remember when Wileyfox launched the Swift 2 and Swift 2 Plus last year? Well, amongst the press materials supplied at the time was details of a third phone – the Swift 2 X. While I tweeted about this obvious mistake, I held off writing about the phone as […]
