I originally wrote this post at the start of January after the Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti was teased at CES. The launch was then revealed as being the 27th of January, but this data came and went with no sign of the card. Then rumours suggested a February launch. Again, this came and went with…

These two chipsets have been rumoured to offer Qualcomm Snapdragon 888-like performance but at a lower price point. MediaTek has also announced the Dimensity 1300. It…
At MWC 2022, Honor just announced the Magic4 Pro, and it is possible that is the phone to beat this year. The Honor Magic4 Pro has launched with a very high-end spec while keeping the price well under £1k. As you’d expect from a flagship device, this comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1….
The Poco X3 Pro was a superb phone for the price, and now at MWC 2022, Poco has announced the new Poco X4 Pro 5G. This year, it looks like affordable mid-range phones are really ramping up the quality of their cameras. We have already seen Realme launch the Realme 9 Pro+ for £349 (£299…
The last time I physically attended MWC, in 2019, Huawei announced the beautiful Huawei Mate X 5G, and it looked like the start of an exciting year for Huawei.
