A year ago we tested the Honor Magic7 Pro and concluded that the Chinese manufacturer was back on the market with a smartphone that could compete with the best from Samsung and Apple. Now the sequel is here, and the Honor Magic8 Pro picks up where its predecessor left off, but with a few significant …
Honor has launched the successor to the foldable smartphone that we voted Best of the Year 2024. The fact that this year’s foldable model from Honor is named Magic V5 may seem strange when last year’s model was V3. But that’s because the number “4” is considered an unlucky number in China. So the V4 …
Nothing Phone (3) is the first true flagship model from British company Nothing since 2023. In fact, Nothing itself believes that Phone (3) is its first true flagship model ever, but that is somewhat a matter of definition, which we will come back to shortly. The fact is that since Nothing Phone (2) saw the …
Until recently, Nothing had only launched two smartphones, and never has there been so much fuss over Nothing in the mobile industry. The Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing Phone (2) were both hyped more than any other new mobile phone in living memory, and the interest from our readers was palpable. But in the shops, …
Taiwanese Asus really wants to be a mobile phone manufacturer. And you have to admire their persistence. Despite the fact that they have not yet managed to achieve great commercial success, they have made 10 model generations and a large number of variants of their Zenfone mobiles since 2014. Many of them have excelled on …
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra isn’t the phone that most people buy, but we’ve chosen to take a closer look at it as it’s the absolute flagship of the series. Like last – and the previous – year’s Ultra model, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is still a Samsung Galaxy Note in disguise. Ergo, it comes …
While Asus’ excellent Zenfone mobiles will forever remain a secret to most people, the ROG models fare somewhat better. Here, Asus is on home turf, speaking to an audience that already knows them as a manufacturer of serious gaming gear. The Asus ROG Phone 8 was presented at CES in Las Vegas at the beginning …
The idea is a no-brainer: a pocket and wallet-friendly compact version of the top model – but with just as much power in all key areas. The Google Pixel 8 we’re testing here is built on the same platform as the Google Pixel 8 Pro, which we recently recognised as the high-end smartphone of the …
Let’s be clear from the start. We don’t want to discriminate. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 can, of course, be worn by all people. So when we emphasize that this is a watch for men, it’s all about size. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is just as big and heavy as its predecessor, and it …
At the beginning of the year, Chinese company Xiaomi came out with a new top mobile phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and a camera developed in collaboration with Leica. The Xiaomi 13 Pro had a lot to offer, but the price was high and compared to other smartphones in the same price …
When Google invited the tech press to the premiere of the year’s new hardware in October last year, we were a little disappointed. Perhaps unfairly so. The Google Pixel 7 Pro, which was launched at that time, was an excellent phone that ended up being voted the best of the year in its price range. …
Fans of this type of foldable mobile phone, which is basically a hybrid between a smartphone and a tablet, have so far had no trouble deciding which model to buy. The selection has been sparse, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold dominating. It was renewed again this summer and is now available in its fifth …
After years of looking for Google mobiles that were only launched in other countries, it was finally our turn last year. That’s when the Google Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7 and Pixel 7a were released and performed very well in our tests. We also got the Pixel Buds Pro earbuds, but not the Pixel Watch. …
After this year’s big Apple event, the launch of the new iPhone models in September, we had mixed feelings. It felt like the base models got many of last year’s Pro features, such as the bright display and Dynamic Island, as well as the 48MP camera. Whereas the Pro models merely got a new processor …
“Don’t mess with a working system,” as the saying goes, and Sony’s mobile strategy with the Sony Xperia 1 V is as usual. Sony is targeting the geeks and semi-professionals who are happy to take a turn with the manual camera settings, care about high-resolution sound and could easily stream for hours on Twitch while …
