Who would have thought that the three-camera Samsung Galaxy A7 announced last month was a prelude something even mind-blowing? I am talking about the just-announced Samsung Galaxy A9 which packs not two, not three, but four freaking cameras around the back. Four! Imagine that. Suddenly, it makes Light Camera’s ambitious 9-camera smartphone plausible. Anyways, wasting your precious time, here’s what the rear quad camera’s highlights: Continue reading Samsung Has Just Announced A Four-Camera Galaxy Smartphone. Four!

Razer Phone 2 Goes Official, Has Chroma And No Notch
Well, this is it. Razer much anticipated follow up to its first smartphone, Razer Phone 2, is official. Aesthetically, it still retains the square, either you love or hate it super straight form, but now, instead all matte black, it is glossy black – thanks to new glass back and it is now Chroma-enabled.

Google Pixel 3 Announced Along With Google Slate And Google Home Hub
Today is the day those in denial face up to reality. I am talking about those who refused believe the previous leaks, including an unboxing video, of the Google Pixel 3. Everything was put out there and as such, today’s even was just a confirmation of sort. So, yeah, Google Pixel 3 is official and so is the briefly rumored Google Slate and a brand new smart device called Google Home Hub. The latter is basically Google’s answer to Amazon Echo Show, but less the camera because, privacy. Privacy, among other things, is Google promised to look out for your “digital well-being.” Continue reading Google Pixel 3 Announced Along With Google Slate And Google Home Hub
Honor Unveiled Honor 8X With “Top-end Configuration” For 250 Euro
It is comforting to know that among the increasing smartphone prices, there are still companies pushing out affordable devices that are not too shabby in both specifications and the look. The Honor 8X you see here is one such devices that really should have Superman’s ’S’ emblem on it because, ’S’ in the fictional Kryptonian’s world is the symbol of ‘hope’ and 8X gives us hope that we do not need to sacrifice our kidneys for a device that will go outdated in a year or two time. Continue reading Honor Unveiled Honor 8X With “Top-end Configuration” For 250 Euro

At this point, there are only two mainstream smartphones that has a three-camera setup. They are the Huawei P20 Pro and the Porsche Design Mate RS. Both devices are in the flagship realm which means they are not cheap (especially, the Mate RS). But fret not if you a Samsung fan who is down with a 3-camera setup smartphone because, last week, Samsung quietly surprised the market with a non-quite-a-flagship device that has not one, not two, but three cameras.

Why Splurge When BLU Vivo XI And XI+ Costs Just $219.99 And Up?
It has been awhile since we look at BLU Products’ devices. We apologize for that. There are just way too many Android phones out there, but today, we felt compelled to let you in on BLU Products’ two new devices because, the duo makes Apple new iPhones’ pricing even more ridiculous. The two devices in question are the BLU Vivo XI+ (pronounced as Eleven Plus) and Vivo XI. The design on Vivo XI (and the XI+) is rather rudimentary (both shares the same design, btw). There is really nothing radical. That is not to say they are not eye-pleasing; they are. Just that these days, phones look pretty much alike and so, you know, there’s really nothing to talk about. Continue reading Why Splurge When BLU Vivo XI And XI+ Costs Just $219.99 And Up?
Xiaomi Poke Fun At New iPhones’ High Prices With XR, XS And XS Max Bundles
Rumors prior to the unveiling of the new iPhones suggested that the new small devices from Apple may be a tad ‘cheaper’ than its outgoing predecessor, but as the unveiling last week have showed us, the rumored ‘cheaper’ pricing was not true. If anything, Apple is pushing the limits of what consumers are willing to pay. As consumers are still coming to terms with the pricing of the new iPhones, China’s very own electronics giant Xiaomi has taken the opportunity to poke fun at the iPhone’s high prices by introducing its own XR, XS, XS Max product bundles that are priced as the same as the new iPhones. These cheeky folks really see opportunity, don’t they? Continue reading Xiaomi Poke Fun At New iPhones’ High Prices With XR, XS And XS Max Bundles
