My Xiaomi Mi Air 13 accompanied me through my tertiary student life, followed by my voluntary service, and finally followed me in my freelance work - enabling me to have a positive attitude towards technology imports from China. Interest in foreign technology is so great in that dealers often offer express shipping lines and extended support for such incoming hardware. Purchasing devices such as the Honor 30 Pro+ in Europe or North America is therefore possible with a little bit of legwork and living with a few compromises. This review shows whether this smartphone is convincing enough to pick up even after having to go through a relatively long delivery time. A 90 Hz refresh rate for its display, a 5G capable Kirin 990 chipset, and the Periscope Camera with 5x optical zoom look promising at first glance.

Oppo wants to establish itself as a premium device manufacturer that places high quality above an affordable possible range. However, this has not stopped the company from positioning itself with products that are available for reasonable prices. This is one particular case, for example: the Enco W31 true wireless headphones that have been strategically positioned in the mid-price range of Oppo's earphones. On paper, this sounds as though it is "balanced and fairly priced", with plenty of can-do attitude. How does the Oppo Enco W31 perform in real life? You can find out in this review.

With the Moto G Pro, Motorola once again dares to venture into another unconventional concept when it comes to mid-range smartphones. The Moto G7 Power with its 5,000 milliamp battery has already proven that thinking out of the box has worked rather well for them so far, and the manufacturer now dares to integrate a stylus that can be stored within the handset with the Moto G Pro. Samsung's Galaxy Note series, which Samsung has positioned as a flagship device, is considered the gold standard where similar smartphone with stylus devices are concerned. But does this idea work out at a more affordable price point?

Oppo is not only conquering the German market with its range of value-for-money smartphones, but also wants to establish an entire ecosystem of hardware, including accessories. Of course, this also includes true-wireless headphones. The flagship model is known as the Enco Free and is based - like many others - on Apple's AirPods. Oppo nevertheless deviates from the standard with a hybrid approach. Question is, does this idea work?
