The Xiaomi Mi 8 was hugely popular earlier this year offering flagship specifications for mid-range pricing. Since then the Pocophone F1 has stolen some of its thunder with its sub-£300 price point. However, Xiaomi has recently announced the Pro version which has one notable upgraded typically found on my more expensive phones, an in-display fingerprint sensor. The Xiaomi Mi…
Elephone is one of the many budget brands from China that are hoping to copy the success of Huawei and Xiaomi. Like many other similar brands, they focussed on the low to mid-end of the market, offering premium looks but with MediaTek SoCs which are a lot more affordable the Qualcomm, but also less powerful. However, there…
The Vivo Next bucked the trend towards notches by introducing an innovative pop-out camera, the idea then spared Oppo to develop the Find X which used a slider to hide the notches. The flagship Xiaomi Mi MIX range will follow suit by implementing a slider on the Mi MIX 3. The Mi MIX range was also a little different than…
Huawei has a pretty crazy release cycle, far exceeding other major players in the mobile industry such as Samsung, Apple and Sony. While Samsung has a biannual release cycle for their flagship models, the Galaxy and Note range are sufficiently different to justify it, with the note being large, more expensive and more business/pro focussed. Looking at…
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…

The Razer Phone 2 has just been launched at an event in San Fransisco, one of the many phones being released this month, and not even the only gaming phone, with the ASUS ROG phone being available shortly. Last year they were the only company on the market catering specifically for gamers, but now with…
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…
While it probably won’t see the mainstream success of phones like the Galaxy S9, Huawei Mate 20 Pro, and OnePlus 6, the ASUS ROG Gaming phone is one of the more exciting phones of the year, purely for the fact that it is a little different. The ROG Phone is designed for high-end gaming, with dedicated…
Google has officially launched their latest Pixel 3 smartphones following weeks of leaks and even hands-on reviews. Both phones have identical internal but their screen and overall size differ, the increased size of the Pixel 3 XL allows them to squeeze in a 3430mAh battery whereas the smaller model has just 2915mAh. The screen of the XL is 6.3-inch…
We are just hours away from the official launch of the Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL. Most phones suffer from leaks in the days and weeks prior but the Pixel 3 has to be the most leaked device in recent times, just a few days ago a local shop in Hong Kong managed to…
