You just purchased the Nokia 5.3 and the manufacturer has already introduced a successor to that handset, aptly known as the Nokia 5.4? I won't blame you if you are feeling unhappy about the situation. Perhaps this review will help you with the agonizing thought of upgrading to the newer model. Let's go to the 5.4 in 3, 2, 1...
OnePlus, once known for its ‘flagship killer’ smartphone models, isn’t the same company anymore. Deviating from its usual path of releasing just two ‘affordable flagships’ every year, the company, in 2019-20, diversified into several new segments; televisions, wearable audio and budget smartphones. OnePlus intends to follow a similar path this year and recently added one more segment to its repertory; fitness trackers. Say hello to OnePlus’ newest product; the One Plus Band. As of February 5, 2021, the OnePlus Band is exclusively on sale only in one country; India.
After the OnePlus Nord was introduced, it was followed up by a couple of more affordable models that bore that Nord moniker: the Nord 100 and the Nord N10 5G. We decided to take a look at the Nord N10 5G for ourselves, which saw its price slashed recently and hence, positioning itself as OnePlus' most affordable 5G smartphone to-date.
Like its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is an extravagant offering that brings together the best possible features in an Android smartphone. However, this year is slightly different - Samsung has decided to tone down on cramming in the latest and the greatest, but rather, took steps to refine what was already good. The idea seems to be to edge the phone closer towards perfection and offer a refined, ultra-premium flagship smartphone ownership experience.
The winner for the Miss Android 2021 pageant is... The Samsung Galaxy S21+! Yes, it is a premature call considering we are just in the month of January and other manufacturers have not yet unveiled their flagship devices, but just lay your eyes upon this beauty of a handset! Samsung continues to demonstrate their sense of style in the new Plus version of the flagship Galaxy S21 series, that my heart was all aflutter when I unboxed it. Fair maiden, thy countenance enchants me. But is your beauty more than just skin deep?
Let us find out in the review!
The Lenovo Legion Duel is the first gaming smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer, and boy is it impressive at first glance! Armed with a Snapdragon 865+ chipset, 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, a 144 Hz AMOLED screen, a dual 5,000 mAh battery, you know that this is a direct competitor to the Asus ROG Phone 3 as it focuses purely on gaming and nothing else.
We are already half-way into the first month of 2021 and there have been several new smartphone launches already. While the Samsung Galaxy S21 launch has been the biggest one so far, in other parts of the world - Asia, in particular - brands like Xiaomi and OPPO have already launched a few products. As the NextPit editor from India, I have been able to get hold of Xiaomi’s first 2021 launch for the Indian market - the Xiaomi Mi10i. Let’s find out good a phone the Mi10i really is and how it performs in our first smartphone review of 2021.
AMOLED display, a seemingly never-ending battery life, and a feeling as though it is barely there when you sleep - did Samsung accidentally send me the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 as a review unit? Of course not! However, at first glance, Samsung seems to have taken aim at Xiaomi's hugely popular fitness tracker with the Galaxy Fit 2. This review also points to how Samsung's heart rate monitor has improved when it comes to (more) accurate pulse taking.
When Soundcore introduces new true wireless headphones, you should slowly but surely pay attention. Because with the Liberty Air 2 Pro, the manufacturer combines the qualities of the Liberty 2 Pro and Air 2 models for less than £130. During my review period, the wireless in-ear headphones, unfortunately, lag behind the competition in one aspect despite having many qualities compared to other models.
Smartwatches have definitely gained traction as a decent alternative to an actual timepiece over the years, but there is still room for improvement. With the release of Huawei’s Watch GT2 Pro, will the wearable tech landscape change or is it just another run-of-the-mill device? Let us dive deeper into the review to find out.
