Google Pixel 6 Pro vs OnePlus 9 Pro: Brains versus Brawn

Google Pixel 6 Pro vs OnePlus 9 Pro: Brains versus Brawn

January 23, 2022
We've entered 2022, but the next round of flagships are still a few weeks away. Even then, there's value to be seen from devices launched in 2021, especially when those devices are flagships such as the Google Pixel 6 Pro and the OnePlus 9 Pro. While the OnePlus 9 Pro has undoubtedly been marred in...
Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G review: The perfect on-the-go laptop

Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G review: The perfect on-the-go laptop

January 20, 2022
I'm just going to come right out and say it. I love the Samsung Galaxy Book 360 5G. My fingers are dragging with each keystroke, because with every character written, I'm just a little closer to sending this stunning little 5G laptop back to Samsung, and it breaks my heart. It's crazy thin at 11.5mm, and...
ONE XPLAYER Mini review: A handheld gaming PC that’s actually portable

ONE XPLAYER Mini review: A handheld gaming PC that’s actually portable

January 13, 2022
It would be wrong to say that the Nintendo Switch was the first big-screen handheld console, but there's no denying that the sheer popularity of the system has prompted many more companies to create their own handheld gaming devices, often based on Android or Windows. Among the many devices trying to capitalize on the success...
Microsoft Surface Duo 2 review: Productivity powerhouse, this time with a decent camera

Microsoft Surface Duo 2 review: Productivity powerhouse, this time with a decent camera

December 23, 2021
The Microsoft Surface Duo 2 is the second iteration of the company's dual-screen smartphone efforts. The first iteration was not something we would call a success. At best, we could say that it got mixed reviews. The original model had something that you could barely consider to be a camera. And when it launched at $1,399.99,...

Checking out Spigen’s iPhone 13 Pro case and accessory lineup

December 12, 2021
The Apple iPhone 13 series is destined to be popular till the next iteration comes around, possibly even beyond that, as Apple will likely sell it for a few years at a discount. For most people buying this phone, a case is going to be high up in purchase priority. We do have some recommendations...
Google Pixel 6 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3: Insane Cameras vs Foldable Magic

Google Pixel 6 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3: Insane Cameras vs Foldable Magic

December 5, 2021
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series has several worthy challengers inside China, but everywhere else in the world, the Galaxy Z Fold has a virtual monopoly on the large foldable category. This was supposed to change soon, as Google had been heavily rumored to have been working on a foldable Pixel, but alas, it’s not meant...
Huawei MateBook 14s review: The 90Hz display puts it over the top

Huawei MateBook 14s review: The 90Hz display puts it over the top

November 30, 2021
Huawei has a history of making some really great laptops. It was the first to put Dolby Atmos audio in a 13-inch laptop with the MateBook X, and it's always pushed for high screen-to-body ratios, quality keyboards, and more. The Huawei MateBook 14 is one of the first to ship with Windows 11, and it...
Google Pixel 6 Pro vs Apple iPhone 13 Pro: The best of Android vs the best of iOS

Google Pixel 6 Pro vs Apple iPhone 13 Pro: The best of Android vs the best of iOS

November 30, 2021
The Google Pixel has always been designed to be the "iPhone of Android," and the Pixel 6 Pro comes the closest to living up to that goal yet. In addition to sporting its own silicon for the first time, the Pixel 6 Pro also sees further software tweaks on top of Android 12 that make...
Android 12 Review: My favorite iteration of Android yet

Android 12 Review: My favorite iteration of Android yet

November 28, 2021
Android 12 has been here for about a month, and I've been using it as my daily driver on the Google Pixel 6 Pro since its launch. Android 12 represents API level 31, and it arrived in the form of an AOSP source code drop a few weeks before rolling out to Pixel smartphones. In previous...
Google Pixel 6 Pro vs Vivo X70 Pro Plus: The two best camera phones of 2021

Google Pixel 6 Pro vs Vivo X70 Pro Plus: The two best camera phones of 2021

November 22, 2021
I have the luxury and privilege of testing a lot of smartphones. Obviously, I get my hands on the iPhones and Samsung Galaxies and OnePluses of the world, but because I’m based in Hong Kong in Southern China, I have access to obscure Asian releases too, like the Royole FlexPai 2 or the Leica Leitz 1. It...
Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Display Review: Questionable value OLED tech

Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Display Review: Questionable value OLED tech

November 20, 2021
Pixels are no stranger to top-end phone prices. Though all this time, it's seemed that Google hadn't yet released a true spiritual flagship that they were happy with—at least not until now with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. This year, it's clear that Google's new phones are the ones that the company takes...
Lenovo ThinkPad P15 and ThinkReality A3 review: A desktop on the go

Lenovo ThinkPad P15 and ThinkReality A3 review: A desktop on the go

November 18, 2021
Lenovo's ThinkPad P15 is a beast. If you're looking for a portable PC, this is about as much power as you can get, with a Core i9-11950H and NVIDIA RTX 5000 graphics with 16GB GDDR6 memory. It's a mobile workstation, which means that it's not just made for hefty workloads like video editing, but this...
