Earlier this year, we reviewed the Xiaomi 12 Pro, which we called Xiaomi’s first true flagship. It featured Qualcomm’s then-fastest mobile processor, a bright, high-resolution screen and a sleek, almost Scandinavian design. The price was accordingly, for the Xiaomi 12 Pro was also the most expensive smartphone so far from the Chinese manufacturer. However, it …
HMD Global, now the company behind Nokia mobile phones, is betting big on environmental friendliness. Which is both sympathetic and necessary, because the 1.5 billion or so mobile phones manufactured worldwide each year use an inordinate amount of resources. And what good is a new mobile if there’s no life left on Earth? Thus, the …
Every time a computer is being updated, it’s pretty much just about one thing: A slightly faster processor. That seems to be the case with the new 2022 iPad Pro, and looking at the specs, it’s not easy to see any other improvements. But they do exist, and not just at the detail level. The …
We’ve called Motorola the ‘King of the Middle Class’ so many times, it’s getting embarrassing. It’s time to find a new way to phrase it. Because of course we’re counting on Chinese-owned Motorola to keep launching affordable, high-quality smartphones. Like the so-called Edge series, of which this year alone we’ve tested two phones – the …
Although the form factor is virtually identical to an iPhone 13, or iPhone 12 for that matter, the iPhone 14 has received enough upgrades that it can be called a new model. But not much more than that, either. At the same time, the price has gone up – by so much that it can …
After a long period of small updates every year, there is finally a major release from Apple in the smartwatch department. Apple Watch Ultra is Apple’s latest smartwatch. It’s got the same features and operating system as the Apple Watch Series 8, but it’s a bigger, more rugged and more powerful version of Apple’s popular …
The Google Pixel 7 Pro is one of the phones we’ve been most eager to get our hands on, as it’s the company’s top model and an official reference phone for Android 13. But now the wait is over. At a global launch the other day, which was live-streamed to local events in numerous capital …
After a few years of struggles, Samsung finally hit the mark last year with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 foldable smartphone. Whether you’re a fan of the concept or not, you have to tip your hat to the Korean electronics giant for making the foldable format work. The foldable hybrid of a smartphone and a …
In keeping with tradition, Sony is also launching a compact version of their latest flagship phone, the Sony Xperia 1 IV. And just like last year, the compact Sony Xperia 5 IV is very similar to its big brother, but downgraded on a few points so that the price is also easier to swallow. However, …
Asus has tried its hand at mobile manufacturing in recent years. They have built a number of smartphones, all of which have been very different. Not only among themselves, but also different from the average mobile phone. The Asus Zenfone 9, which has just been launched, also stands out from the norm in several ways. …
Asus is not among the major mobile phone manufacturers. But when it comes to specialised gaming phones, they’ve found a niche where they can compete. The Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro is the company’s fifth(!) gaming smartphone. It looks like any other mobile phone in 2022: a large black glass screen with rounded edges. The …
Visually, nothing’s changed since 2020, when the predecessor to iPad Air saw the light of day. The updated iPad Air features the same “old” design, with sharp lines and edges combined with rounded corners that make the tablet look like an outgrown version of iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 – two classic handsets that were …
Sony is unlikely to challenge Apple or Samsung as the preferred mobile brand. Smartphones are by far the biggest product category in the electronics market (most of us carry a mobile phone in our pocket), and Sony is well positioned to attract consumers in droves with its gigantic ecosystem of content, products and technologies. That …
The Garmin Epix is a premium multisport watch in titanium, and my test sample has sapphire crystal glass. As soon as I open the box, I’m completely hooked – the watch is stylish with attitude, without standing out too much. It fits perfectly on the wrist, the weight is fine and it seems sturdy. The …
Xiaomi has had success with its entry-level Redmi phones, and the Redmi Note 11 Pro looks like a winner. In fact, it looks more like a premium phone. The AMOLED screen is big and fast (6.7 inches and 120 Hz), and the phone is encased in a solid titanium grey metal frame. The edge of …
