Huawei's P series has always stood for superb smartphone photography and elegant design. This year's model, the P40 Pro, is once again very impressive in terms of hardware. But using it in everyday life shows that Huawei is still in its infancy in terms of software and ecosystem.

Not the G8 Plus, nor the G8 Power and also not the G8 Power Lite: just the plain old Moto G8. Motorola has made the most out of this brand line extensively in the course of its eight-year history, but at the end of it, there is still one true, core product. And that finally surfaces again by ruling the mid-range smartphone roost in the form of the Moto G8.

A little bit of something but not quite everything: the Samsung Galaxy S20+ or S20 Plus was released in early March this year and happens to reside as the intermediate model within Samsung's latest flagship range. The younger of the high-end siblings happen to pack in less than the somewhat excessive Galaxy S20 Ultra model. While it does carry almost all the same specifications as that found in the more 'basic' Galaxy S20, which happens to be the best model among all three according to my colleague David, this one comes in a larger form factor, accompanied by a more solid chassis and an additional camera sensor. Did Samsung hit the nail on the head by striking the correct balance? The answer lies in our comprehensive review.

Not least because of various YouTubers publishing rave reviews, fake AirPods enjoy great popularity. These so-called BlackPods Pro cost a fraction of the original Apple headphones, but how close to they come to the real thing? Let's find out.

The Realme 6 series has been available since the end of March, although not every model. While the Realme 6 and the Realme 6i have already been released in European markets, we are still waiting for the most expensive model. Today, we have managed to bring the Realme 6 Pro out for a spin. Stay with us until the end and see whether it is worth dropping some coin for it!

Realme caused the smartphone world to rethink what is considered a good price-to-performance ratio with the X2 Pro last year. Now, with the Reame X50 Pro 5G, the brand is upping the stakes once again. The hardware here is, on paper at least, breathtakingly good. Here's my full review.

The new iPhone SE is reality. After the huge success around the first SE, Apple has presented a great device that seems to divide the camps between iOS and Android more than ever before and has critics hovering on cloud nine. And I also like it in the first hands-on test. Nevertheless, the Apple iPhone SE is certainly not suitable for everyone.

The Nokia 1.3 is fairly affordable with a €109 / $120 price tag. A relatively inexpensive Android Go smartphone does have its limitations, as shown in this review. For whom is this stripped-down variant of Android suitable for? Spending some time with this entry-level Android-powered device has changed my perspective.

With the Mi 10 Pro, Xiaomi launched its new flagship on the market in March of this year. It can compete with the big names in terms of features and equipment - but also in terms of price. One thing can already be revealed in the preface: the Mi 10 Pro is not cheap. Here are my first hands-on impressions.

Here is an anomaly in the world of gaming smartphones: offering a price-to-performance ratio unlike any other, this is a flagship killer by any other name. In fact, I can think of many superlatives for the Nubia RedMagic 5G. It is interesting that it remained under-the-radar prior to its release. In this review, I would like to explore the advantages of this high-end gaming smartphone with an industry-first 144 Hz display, liquid cooling, and amazing performance.
This review by me, as a die-hard Apple user, does not mean I have changed my allegiance and will use an Android-powered smartphone on a permanent basis from now on, no matter how fantastic the hardware specifications are. Android is simply not my thing, it's too colorful, too versatile, and has basically too many options. I usually prefer a device that works well right out of the box, where it will be able to function as it is supposed to for several years while receiving new features and security patches in the form of software updates. I do not need to have Comic Sans as a system font or the choice to fiddle around with a lot of settings. Hence, I was skeptical of our Nubia RedMagic 5G review unit and didn't have high expectations for it. In my last attempt to switch over to an Android device in 2018 (the Samsung Galaxy Note 8), it was more out of curiosity than anything else. However, it remains to be seen whether the Nubia RedMagic 5G can convince me otherwise this time around, what more a handset from a non-mainstream brand.
