Where other handset makers imitate Apple and Samsung’s naming convention with Pro, Pro Max, and/or Ultra, OnePlus does not. In addition to the OnePlus 15—which is clearly the “Pro”—there’s the “non-Pro” model in the form of the OnePlus Ace6. But the above is merely my speculation. Who knows, it may […]
OnePlus is done pretending it’s the quiet overachiever in the smartphone scene. The new OnePlus 15 Series may not have an actual fan or water-cooled system, but damn, it sure is charging straight into gaming-phone territory with a display that refreshes faster than your thumbs can move. We’re talking 165 […]
Along with the Redmi K90 Pro, there is, of course, the standard K90. It is a watered-down K90 Pro but still rocking Sound by Bose, with some caveats. Its existence clearly caters to those with a tighter budget. More on the pricing in a moment. So what’s the major difference […]
Redmi just dropped something that looks like it should come with pit crew support. The Redmi K90 Pro Max Champion Edition isn’t just another special edition phone; it’s a Lamborghini in smartphone form. Created in collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini Squadra Corse, the racing arm of the Raging Bull, this cobranded […]
I suspect there is a secret co-branding competition among Chinese handset makers. I am not talking about collabs with games or brands. I am talking about collabs with tangible benefits like improved imaging—like Xiaomi with Leica, Vivo with Zeiss, Oppo with Hasselblad, and more recently, Realme with Ricoh. The latest […]
Skins and cases let you change a phone’s appearance to suit your style. That’s all the other phones. Meanwhile, the new Realme GT8 Pro lets you tweak the look of the phone by changing the camera module. You heard that right. This new Android handset from Realme has an interchangeable […]
Have you ever imagined your phone coming to life? No, not like in the Transformers movies when it got struck by a shard of AllSpark. That would be nasty. Never mind if you did not, because Honor did. The smartphone maker has revealed a concept based around a robot phone, […]
Speaking of 200 MP camera on a phone… Honor is also following up with a successor to its 200 MP sensor-equipped Magic7. That’s right. This year’s Magic came earlier. It was revealed a couple of days after Vivo’s X300 Series and a day before Oppo’s Find X9 Series debuted. While […]
Oppo is not in the 200 MP camera race against itself. Prior to the Oppo Find X9 Series being revealed with a 200 MP telephoto snapper co-developed with Hasselblad, Vivo’s X300 Series already had a device with a 200 MP primary HPB sensor. 200 MP isn’t new, but there appears […]
You gotta salute Redmagic’s dedication to its craft. It is not only one of the surviving gaming phone brands, but it is also constantly innovating. First, it pulled off the under-display front-facing camera for a truly uninterrupted display. Then it went ahead and stuck a fan inside a phone. And […]
Man, time does fly! It has been a year since Oppo delighted the Android community with the Find X8 series. It feels like Oppo only just dropped the Find X8S and the mighty Find X8 Ultra this April, and now—bam—the Find X9 is already here. The best part, perhaps, is […]
