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.

WH-1000XM3, WF-1000XM3 or MDR. Every technophile who delves into the world of audio would know that these are references of Sony headphones and true wireless earbuds which are market-leading products. However, only a select few know what these cryptic acronyms stand for, as Sony has not communicated the idea behind such naming conventions, while information available on the Internet proved to be incomplete at best or even erroneous.

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.

The Huawei P40 Lite can be touted to be the entry-level darling of the Shenzhen-based manufacturer this year. Despite the ongoing worldwide health crisis and a trade war between China and the US resulting in an embargo on Huawei, this particular smartphone is meant to be a technical showpiece on how it is possible to move forward without Google. Technically speaking, the Huawei P40 range happens to be the second without Google Mobile Services (GMS) after the Mate 30 Pro, with the P40 Lite playing its role in an experiment. Here is my review of the Huawei smartphone.

The LG V60 ThinQ 5G lacks the aesthetics to place it in this generation’s flagship category. However, if one were to just look at the spec sheet itself without taking into consideration its hardware specifications such as a Snapdragon 865 chipset, a 5,000 mAh battery, and Dual-Screen capability, then it would definitely pique anyone’s curiosity.
If I were to sum up my experience of using the LG V60 ThinQ 5G for over a week, it would be this: one step forward, two steps back.

I’m sorry, Oppo who? Although the parent company BBK is preparing to become the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer, Oppo is still little known in parts of the world. The Find X2 Pro impressed Shu when he did the regular review, and now comes our detailed camera test.
The Oppo Find X2 Pro is a great phone with one big shortcoming

The Huawei P40 is the latest addition to the P-series as a top camera phone and, above all, the second flagship of the Chinese giant to come out without Google Mobile Services (GMS), after the complicated launch of the Huawei Mate 30. It, therefore, has the heavy task of showing that a future without Google can be bright, but also that of succeeding its excellent predecessor, the Huawei P30.
