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….
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. Released in November 2017 the Huawei Mate 10 Pro was one of the last flagships of the year with some impressive…
During my time at MWC, I have been using the Moto Z2 Force which is the flagship Motorola phone that uses Moto mods. It was kindly loaned to me by Vodafone and uses the new pay as you go 1 tariff. This is a unique tariff for the UK market where you simply pay up…
I have just left the Asus event where they announced this years line up of new phones. There are 3 versions of the Asus Zenfone 5. The budget option is the Zenfone 5 Lite which packs four cameras, two of them with a 120-degree wide-angle field-of-view, one on each side. The main rear camera is…
Recently I have covered a lot of cheap Chinese brands that are churning out Android phones. These often require buying them from grey import sites such as Gearbest, and even if you get them from Amazon, the warranty and product support are always in question. If you are looking for a more reliable brand, then…
I have already covered the new technology in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 system on chip (SoC) but that doesn’t mean a great deal without some real-world results. Qualcomm has finally started demoing units built on the Snapdragon 845 SoC to selected press. The tests are not ideal as the hardware is Qualcomm’s demo units, so…
I have already covered several excellent budget Chinese phones available from sites such as Gearbest, or quite often for a little bit more via Amazon. The Xiaomi MI A1 is the current cream of the crop, it might not be as pretty as some of the lesser known imports but the build quality is exceptional,…
During my event with Qualcomm, they were obviously keen to talk about their latest and greatest product, the Snapdragon 845. For several years not the 800 series of chips have been used in the vast majority of the flagship Android phones you can buy. The only real exceptions are Samsung Exynos used in the European…
Xiaomi is the $100-billion tech giant that doesn’t even sell their phones in western countries. If you are willing to go through the import process though, you can end up with a phone that is cheaper than companies such as Samsung, LG and Sony, while also offering the same level of build and software support…
I have had back luck with phones the past year or so, breaking the screen on my Nexus 6P and LG V20. So, I have been on a quest for good but affordable phones. The obvious choice is cheap Chinese imports from sites like GearBest, or slightly more expensive Chinese phones from Amazon. I thought…
Following my review of the GooBang Doo ABOX A1 Plus, I wasn’t entirely happy with the performance for my particular needs. It is a decent device for the money, I am just a bit fussy about things, I wasn’t overly keen on the user interface, the remote didn’t work very well in Netflix, and I…
