We are seeing lots of new products come out from ASUS this year at Computex 2018. With the most interesting being the new ASUS ROG Phone which has some mighty impressive specs which put the Razer phone to shame. ASUS claimed to have developed the phone using speed-binned Snapdragon 845 SoC making it run at 2.96Ghz compared to the…
Most people know of the blockchain as the ledger that records cryptocurrency transactions. With the help of gadget manufacturer HTC, the world may soon associate the blockchain with smartphones, too. The brand recently announced its intentions to make a blockchain-enabled phone. If successful, it could change how people use their phones and access the associated…
We have known that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 700 series was due to be released, Qualcomm mentioned it several times during our MWC press trip. The specifics of the SoC were never discussed apart from that it will offer high-end features at a lower price. When I was at MWC several people hinted that this chipset could be targetting the…
I have recently been overwhelmed with budget Android phones to review, in the past few days I have covered the Umidigi A1 Pro and the Alcatel 3V. Both of these phones are superb for the price, but with the £100 price point, you do have to make some sacrifices. The Moto G6 costs from £219…
Having been previously impressed with the Alcatel A7 which retails for £189 I have now been sent the new Alcatel 3V to try out. This phone is well into the budget territory and costs just £95 on Tesco Mobile, which is only a small amount more than the Umidigi A1 Pro, but you will get…
I have previously reviewed the UMIDIGI S2 Lite which was a great budget phone with a massive battery. The UMIDIGI A1 Pro makes things even more affordable and is available from Aliexpress from just £82 making it one of the most affordable phones I have reviewed, but do you sacrifice performance and quality for such…
We have seen a lot of new phones released so far this year, but this week we saw possibly the two most important releases in my opinion. The Honor 10 and OnePlus 6 we launched over 2 days this week, neither phone has a huge selling point hardware wise. There is no 40MP camera or…
Each year we see a new version of Android launched with a varying number of tweaks to it, for many people they will never see a working version of this OS until they buy a new phone the following year. Last years Oreo update has still not been pushed too many flagship devices for various…
The smartphone market has stagnated a bit in recent years, we have reached a plateau in performance and conformity has occurred across the basic phone design. For flagship phones which cost more each year the general theme is always a top of the range Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC or HISilicon / Samsung equivalent, encased in a…
I received this product as part of a review program in return for an unbiased review. It was not provided free of charge, and I either have to return it or pay for it. Having previously reviewed the Huawei Mate 10 Pro which I fell in love with, I have now been given a chance…
It is almost time for the launch of latest phone from tech geek favourite OnePlus. Since their inception just 5 years ago, OnePlus have established themselves as a significant player in the phone industry by making high-end phones at affordable prices. Each year the price has crept up, but they have always undercut the major…
If the likes of the Huawei Mate 10 Pro are out of your price range, there are plenty of budget options with excellent performance and a premium design. One such phone is the Umidigi S2 Lite which is available on Amazon for £135 or if you are happy having it imported just £119.62 from GearBest….
