Check and checkmate? No! The Huawei Mate 40 Pro has, more than ever compared to its predecessors such as the Huawei P40, the heavy burden of ensuring the tech press and its cohorts continue the narrative that the Chinese tech giant’s smartphones are not fit for use outside of China without Google. After reviewing it for close to a month for NextPit, I can unequivocally state that this is not the case at all. Far from it.

This can be mainly attributed to the large image sensor, which thus offers each pixel plenty of space for optimal light incidence. As rumours have started to spread, the Samsung Galaxy S21 could perform better than that. It seems that current developments in smartphone cameras are really interesting!
Mid-summer 2020, here is a vintage that will mark the smartphone market. The Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro is an excellent value for money flagship with a Snapdragon 865, a 144 Hz screen, 5,000 mAh battery for less than £550. In my full review for NextPit, I tell you why the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro is the best value high-end smartphone on the market this year.
The new iPhone lineup this year consists of four new models, where all of them fall under the 12 series. The magic number twelve is a “mathematical natural phenomenon”, a sublime yet abundant number. The twelve is also a kissing number in three dimensions. Frederic Chopin composed twelve Etudes; Claude Debussy composed twelve Préludes. Whether the new iPhone 12 Pro carries its numerical heritage as gracefully as people and events in the earth’s history have shown will be determined in this extensive review.
The Realme 7 arrived onto the market barely a year after the Realme 6 was released. It is pleasing to note that the manufacturer continued to stick to the 90 Hertz display as found in its predecessor and, apart from that, the smartphone does offer a closer degree of performance to the new Pro version. Which particular market segment is the Realme 7 targeting, and who ought to pick this handset up? Find out more in this review.
With OxygenOS 11, OnePlus brings a feature that the community has been asking for over the years: Always On Display. But as usual, OnePlus introduces a twist to this feature with Insight AOD, which is a screen time indicator. Here’s a quick tutorial from NextPit on activating Insight AOD on your OnePlus smartphone.
Will there be affordable, interchangeable covers sold at stores once again, and will you hear polyphonic ring tones in trains and buses in the near future? Apparently so, as HMD has plans to reissue the legendary mobile phones at the turn of the millennium: the Nokia 8000 and the Nokia 6300. This is set to happen either in 2020 or most probably in 2021, where such phones will be known as “feature phones” and will arrive with these handsets boasting a cult following of their own.

Apple has announced another event for November 10, 2020. The title this time: One more thing. These things await us.
Google does seem to have issues in keeping in its online store this year: the well-known home speakers are suddenly known as “Nest” while underneath the hood of the recently released smartphones, the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G, both of them carry more or less the same innards.

In my review, I gave the Pixel 4a 5G the chance to prove itself in everyday life for an entire week. Is the new old Pixel smartphone convincing enough to make the cut?
