2019 has not been a good year for Huawei. The Chinese mobile giant was the subject of this year’s most talked about storm in the electronics industry in May, when the US government placed Huawei on the so-called “Entity List” – a blacklist of companies that will not have free access to US technology, hardware, …
For several years, iPhone models have come that have certainly been better than the previous year’s model – they have been a little faster, had a slightly better camera and a little better screen. But it’s a long time since one said, “Wow, why hasn’t anyone done this before?” But now, an iPhone has arrived …
Samsung really needs a success. Sales of the company’s top model for 2019, the Samsung Galaxy S10, have been somewhat disappointing and earlier this year the South Korean electronics giant was forced to indefinitely postpone the launch of the firm’s foldable smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Fold, because of serious technical issue with the screen. So …
Asus Zenfone 5 is a cheaper mobile phone as Zenfone 4, but it feels well built and very nice. It follows the trend of the flagship mobile phones with a large high-resolution display that almost has no edges. One can even choose whether or not to see the info bar on the top of the …
Until recently, the resurging Nokia company has been content to produce low-cost models, but they are now putting a top-of-the-range model on the market. It is even named after the classic luxury model 8800 Sirocco. It both looks and feels more luxurious than the previous models, and has a fashionable curved OLED screen that almost …
Mobile phones have gone from being a necessary communication tool to becoming an important extension of ourselves. We keep track of our friends on social media, get restaurant tips, find our way through unfamiliar places, order taxis, check in at airports, listen to music on the bus, watch movies on the plane, play games during …
Huawei’s MediaPad M5 wants to be both a tablet and a PC. It is best suited at a tablet. The big screen is 10.8 inches and is of the LCD type. Although large, it is still comfortable to sit with and it quickly unlocks via the fingerprint reader at the bottom. There is, of course, …
From being an underdog specialising in cheap mobiles, in the last couple of years Chinese company Huawei has become the world’s second-largest mobile phone manufacturer, only beaten by Samsung, which the Chinese may well conceivably overtake in the next six to 12 months. Just as Samsung, with the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series, has …
For the first time in years, many are excited about a new iPhone model. The problem is that it is not for the new iPhone 8 or 8 Plus. All the questions I have received since the launch have been about iPhone X. This is despite the fact that iPhone 8 includes new technology and …

If we start with what is most obvious, then there is not much new under the sun when it comes to the design. If we compare it directly with S8 +, the two phones look pretty much identical. In other words, you still get a 6.2 inch large, curved glass display with a metal frame …
Last year’s Xperia XZ1 was a more moderate version of the totally crazy Xperia XZ Premium, with a more normal large display without 4K and a neater format. The XZ2 is a smart compromise, with a bigger display and more pixels, without going to extremes. But above all, Xperia has finally been given a design …
Like iPhone X, P20 Pro has gotten a notch at the top of the screen, which among other things houses the selfie camera. It can be hidden via software. The fingerprint reader is placed at the bottom of the screen. It will annoy some and delight others. However, it is largely unnecessary, since Huawei like …
