What are the best Android Gaming Phones for 2018?

by James Smythe | Nov 7, 2018 | Phones & Mobile, Android | 0

While Razer was not the first company to release an Android gaming phone, they have fuelled a new trend towards gaming orientated smartphones. With the mobile market stagnating manufactures are keen to find new ways to increase demand in a saturated market. The sales numbers of the original Razer phone last year are unknown, but Razer classed it as a “limited run” which means it probably wasn’t a huge commercial success. However, that has not stopped many other brands jumping onto the bandwagon to exploit the lucrative gaming market. All the following phones are currently available to buy today,...

by James Smythe | Nov 3, 2018 | Reviews, Android, Phones & Mobile | 0

**Updated on 03/11/2018** Last week Huawei launched the Mate 20 series, and since then I have been using this as my daily driver. Rather than do multiple posts I am doing one main review which I will update as and when changes need to be made. Specification The Mate 20 series has landed with multiple variants including the regular Mate 20, the Mate 20X and the Porsche Design RS version. In the UK I am not sure about the availability of each model, in particular, I am not sure when or if the Mate 20X will land. For this...

Even though October is such a busy month with phone launches, Huawei has managed to maintain the hype for its latest flagship, and deservedly so too. The newly announced Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are likely contenders for best phones of the year. At this point, thanks to weeks of leaks and rumours there is not a great deal to report here, I was able to write most of this up without a pre-briefing before I travelled down to London for the launch. Huawei Mate 20 Pro Unlike competing brands where the screen size and battery are the...

by James Smythe | Oct 10, 2018 | Phones & Mobile, Reviews | 0

Over the past few weeks, we have seen some excellent affordable mid-range phones released with the three stand out options, in my opinion, is the Nokia 7.1, Huawei Mate 20 Lite and the Honor Play. While I have not used all three phones, whichever you choose will likely be a great option, I think they are all well specced for the money. If you are on the lookout for an affordable mid-range phone, you may wonder how these three models differ and which one is best for your needs. Hopefully, the below will help shed some light. Huawei Mate...

Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 980 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 vs Samsung Exynos 9810

by James Smythe | Sep 4, 2018 | IFA 2019, Android, News | 0

I previously compared the three flagship system on chips from Huawei, Qualcomm and Samsung against each other and at the time, on paper, the Kirin 970 was fractionally behind the other 2 SoCs, which was due to the Kirin 970 being announced 6 months prior. Now the tables have turned and the HiSilicon Kirin 980 is the newest chip to hit the market with the Snapdragon 845 and Exynos 9810 being 6 months out of date. During the Huawei keynote at IFA, they made many comparisons to the Snapdragon 845 showing how it was better in every way. One graph even summarised how the 980 beat the...

Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro Specification Rumour Roundup

by James Smythe | Aug 26, 2018 | Android, IFA 2019, News | 0

IFA starts next week and we will likely see some amazing new consumer technology. There are several big events being held with Sony and Samsung having something scheduled on 30th August and Huawei on the 31st. The Huawei event will almost certainly be the announcement of the new Kirin 980 SoC which will be the processor behind all of the flagship devices from Huawei and Honor in the next year. Rumours suggest they may also launch the Mate 20 alongside this, though I would say this is unlikely, last year they launched the Mate 10 a month later at an event in Munich. Either...
