Introduction Amazfit Moonbeam is a somewhat unorthodox fitness tracker in that it goes about design first and functionality second. There's a lot of sense in making elegance and style your top priorities, let's see how much compromise that...

It would be a while until the international Nokia 6 launches in Europe, but we've already managed to sneak in a unit from China. And here are our initial impressions before we send it to the lab for testing. For good or bad, the Nokia 6 is a...

HTC flagships are a rare breed these days. The last one we saw at HQ is the HTC 10 evo but like its name suggests, it was just a recycled HTC 10, and however lovely that one was - it was released almost a year ago. So you see we were very excited...

A few months after we welcomed the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017), here comes the Galaxy A7 (2017). It arrives two months after the official launch, but hey, it is the biggest and heaviest in the current A-series family - we guess it needed extra time to...

LG announced a duo of Android Wear 2.0 smartwatches a couple of weeks ago - the LG Watch Style and LG Watch Sport. They both feature circular displays and are the first watches to come with the new Wear 2.0 OS. We spent some quality time...

What is it Lenovo went big on modular last year, churning out a few phones with the ability to connect to a number of cool accessories. They snap seamlessly onto the Moto Z through a few strong magnets and start communicating hassle-free via...

Another CES has come to a close, and although there weren’t many huge announcements in the mobile space, a couple of notable appearances come quite close, particularly from the likes of TCL and BlackBerry. Honor’s 6X continued the idea that a...

We’re halfway through CES but as we head for the weekend we wanted to know which new device caught your eye. Smartphone launches were fairly rare and some weren’t even proper launches - Xiaomi, for example, brought a white Mi Mix but still won’t...

Rumors about Samsung Galaxy are going wild all the time and people tend to be a bit too critical. But there are some devices which deserve some love for their simplicity. We are talking about the new A-series that were silently launched in the...

Is it strange that we think the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) is adorable? It just looks so tiny after months of bigger than big slabs. This one is smaller than the iPhone 7, something few premium Androids can claim. This color option is also close to...

We have a soft spot for phones rocking a large battery and an efficient chipset. With its 5,100mAh power reserve and a 14nm Snapdragon 625, the Lenovo P2 arrives with a simple promise: it will last more than a solid day of usage. One of the...

Honor pulled the wraps off the Honor 6X back in October for the Chinese market. Fast forward a few months, the company has announced the Honor 6X for the US and European markets. The phone will replace the widely successful Honor 5X, which was also...

A crate arrived at our doorstep the other day chock-full of Meizus. Naturally, we all flocked around the Pro 6 Plus flagship and we already shared our initial thoughts about it, but it is this M5 here that will be outselling the top model who knows...

LeEco was one of the first devices to feature a Snapdragon 821 CPU, an incremental update over Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 chipset. It was on its way to being the first, but Asus’ Zenphone 3 Deluxe beat the Ecophone to the punch. Anyway, the Le Pro 3...

The Lenovo Moto M was announced a month ago, and its popularity is growing steadily ever since. The mid-ranger leaked quite a few times before, teasing various features before its premiere. Even though on paper the Moto M does not offer...

In a sad year for Galaxy Notes, a Mi Note could shine brighter than it otherwise would have been allowed to - the Xiaomi Mi Note 2, that is. It's easy to see the Xiaomi dual-curved flagship as a Galaxy Note7 clone, but for all the similarities, the...

OnePlus is one of the increasingly-rare few manufacturers out there that still manage to get most of us over at the office genuinely hyped. Don’t get us wrong; there are many devices which have the power to charm and impress, but few can do so while...
