Talking about Nokia teleports us to our first forays with mobile phones. It’s like traveling back in time, at least for me anyway. When I turned on the device and heard the first noises, it was a real déjà vu feeling for me. The smartphones that are now produced by HDM Global are far removed from the ‘unintelligent’ phones. But apart from the initial music, there’s not much else that reminds you of the old devices.
Even if they may seem vintage, the only thing vintage about the devices is their name. They still have a sleek design that makes you fall in love. Yes, I confess, I’m a fan. After its launch into the smartphone world in 2017, Nokia released a full slate of 5 devices this year. The Nokia 6.1 is a mid-range that has surprised me quite a lot. Want to know why?

Xiaomi formalized its new smartphone from the MIX series in Shanghai at an event dedicated to presenting the world to a new smartphone. It’s bezel-less on three sides, comes without the notch and once again offers top technical features. It’s more of an evolution of the previous model than it is a revolution, but the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S was still able to amaze me.

Honor is both closely associated with Huawei as well as one of the strongest competitors of the world’s third largest smartphone manufacturer. This is also due to the fact that Honor always introduces a very similar and significantly cheaper model shortly after launches of Huawei smartphones. This is also true of the Honor 10, which has the potential to easily outperform the Huawei P20. The rest of the competition in the smartphone world might have to take notice in light of the Honor 10’s release.
