Realme will launch their new MagDart charging solution on 3rd August, making them the first brand to introduce magnetic charging to Android phones. The name is shamelessly similar to Magsafe, while it was inevitable that magnetic charging would come to Android (a bit like wireless charging eventually came to Apple), it would have been preferable…
ZTE is quickly becoming one of the brands you should be on the lookout for in the UK. I was particularly impressed with the Red Magic 6R, which is a gaming sub-brand, and the latest announcement has piqued my interest more. The ZTE Axon 30 has been announced for the Chinese market but they plan…
It feels like Nokia has given up trying to compete in the mid-range and flagship market. Their most advanced phone recently is the Nokia 8.3 5G launched back in November with the Snapdragon 765G. Instead, they have released lots of low-end phones and nostalgic feature phones. The latest is the Nokia XR20, which is an…
Earlier this week, OnePlus announced the Nord 2 globally, and it is one of the first phones to feature the Mediatek Dimensity 1200, it is also the first phone to use a custom version of that chipset. The following day Xiaomi / Poco announced the Poco F3 GT in India, and they are expected to…
Yesterday OnePlus announced their latest Nord 2. I am not a huge OnePlus fanboy but based on its specification and price, I think it could be one of the best options on the market right now. Priced at £399, available on Amazon, this is the first phone to feature one of the custom MediaTek Dimensity…
Following on from my previous post, comparing the MediaTek Helio G88 vs Helio G85 & G80, we have the new Helio G96. The MediaTek Helio G88 is a largely forgettable chipset, prolonging the life of the existing G85/G80, but the Helio G96 offers some decent upgrades from its own predecessors. Key Features of MediaTek Helio…
Yesterday, MediaTek announced two new 4G chipsets, the Helio G96 and Helio G85, which will be focussed on the affordable end of the market. The Helio G96 is the most interesting of the two, and I will write a separate post for that one. The MediaTek Helio G88 doesn’t warrant a long post dedicated to…
Yesterday, ASUS threw a bit of a curveball phone release in collaboration with Qualcomm with the Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders. That is its actual name. A quick glance at the design and specs, and you would just assume this is a Qualcomm reference device not intended for end-users, but it seems that it will actually…
If you are looking for an affordable phone, then the POCO M3 Pro 5G could be one of the best options to buy this year. As usual with Xiaomi/POCO, they have an early bird offer on taking the RRP of the base model down by £40, meaning you can get a 5G phone for just…
Yesterday, for the first day of the Mobile World Congress, Qualcomm announced their new Snapdragon 888+ chipset. Much like the launch of the Snapdragon 865+, not much has changed, it looks like the improvements are even more incremental than last year. 5% CPU frequency improvement The new Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ is effectively just a speed…
As we enter MWC 2021 day 2, MediaTek has announced a new Open Resource Architecture which gives device makers more control over the hardware features of the chipset they use. How much brands will tailor things and what benefits that has for the end-users remains to be seen. However, it is an interesting idea that…
Infinix are not normally a brand I associate with being pioneers of technology, but at the start of MWC 2021, they have announced a new concept phone with the fastest charge speeds on the market. 160W wired charging and 50W wireless The new Infinix Concept Phone 2021 is capable of 160W wired charging and 50W…
