Posted by Payton Wilmott On Thursday, December 31, 2020 0 comments

The Samsung Galaxy A32 5G we've been hearing about since last month has been certified by Bluetooth SIG, moving it a step closer to the launch. The listing on the organization's site doesn't tell us any specs of the A32 5G other than confirming Bluetooth 5.0, but it does reveal the smartphone will have three model designations - SM-A326B_DS, SM-A326BR_DS, and SM-A326B. The last one has appeared in HTML5 and Geekbench tests with Android 11, 4GB RAM, and Dimensity 720 SoC.

2020 Winners and Losers: Google

Posted by Payton Wilmott On 0 comments

2020 was an interesting year for Google. After releasing its first mid-ranger with the the Pixel 3a in 2019 the company eschewed the flagship segment altogether in 2020. The Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 all use Snapdragon 700 series chipsets and have a total of 8 cameras between them including the selfie snappers. The shift from proper flagship hardware, meant Google doubled-down on software as the core of a great experience. A very "in-character" decision for the search giant, but Pixel traditionalists found it a bit hard to accept. Loser: Google Pixel 4a Going in...

The terribly bizarre 2020 is finally behind us and here we are, hoping for a fresh start. We can only hope the next twelve months will be calmer, safer, and happier.

Top stories of 2020: Q4

Posted by Payton Wilmott On 0 comments

As the year winds down it's a great time to reflect on the top stories of the past 12 months. This is the fourth and final installment where we look at the stories that shaped this year. It's time to close out the 2020 issue of our top stories. We're looking at the months of October through to December and for the first time ever, this is the time Apple unveiled its phones. After many reports and leaks, the iPhone 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 12 mini and iPhone 12 were all unveiled on October 13. It was only the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro and 12 that went on sale the week following the event,...

As a rule, whenever we talk about new software updates, especially major ones, we advise you to install as soon as possible, in order to get all the new features and security fixes. Sometimes, though, rollouts are botched and updates do bad things to phones. That's exactly what seems to be happening to the Xiaomi Mi A3. The update to Android 11 has started rolling out for this Android One device, but a lot of reports from users have popped up saying that the update is basically rendering their handsets completely useless after installation - this is otherwise known as bricking. So...

The Huawei P50 Pro will be smaller than its predecessor, according to info from @OnLeaks, who published the first tantalizing render of the upcoming flagship. The display will measure 6.6”, which means it’s closer in size to the P40 than the P40 Pro (which has a 6.76” panel). The left and right sides of the display still have a curve with a very tight radius, but Huawei won’t repeat mistakes of the past – there are hardware buttons on the side. This design keeps the phone as compact as possible. It will measure 159 mm tall and 73 mm wide, which is again closer to the vanilla P40 than...

Earlier this month Oppo unveiled the 5G connected duo of the Reno5 and Reno5 Pro. Now the company quietly launched a 4G version of the Reno5. It is fairly similar to its sibling, with some key differences – the connectivity, of course, which that also necessitated a new chipset. Or rather an old one. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 720G chipset, which was also used in the Reno4 4G from a few months ago. The new model brings several improvements over the 4-series to put it more in line with the other Reno5 models. The Oppo Reno5 4G upgrades the 6.4” AMOLED panel to 90Hz...

Cyberpunk 2077 PC game review

Posted by Payton Wilmott On 0 comments

Cyberpunk 2077 is the latest title from Polish game studio CD Project Red, the same company that brought us the successful Witcher series. Announced first in 2012, Cyberpunk 2077 went through multiple delays before it was finally launched on December 10 on Windows, PS4, Xbox One, and Stadia. It would be an understatement to say that Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most hyped game launches in recent memory. While the initial announcement did happen in 2012, it wasn't until the developers showcased the game at E3 2018 when it suddenly exploded in popularity. Then last year, the studio...

2020 Winners and Losers: Realme

Posted by Payton Wilmott On Wednesday, December 30, 2020 0 comments

Realme continues its meteoric rise, posting some amazing growth figures even though it's no longer a small startup. Its 2020 lineup was marked by insanely short model turnover in the constant battle to offer something just that little extra bit cheaper or flashier, as fast as possible. That lead to a number of excellent successful products, but also plenty of misfires and experiments gone wrong and everything in between. Winner: Realme 7 Pro Currently the most popular Realme phone in our database, the Realme 7 Pro has plenty going for it. Probably one of the best things about Realme’s...

My top 5 phones of 2020 - George

Posted by Payton Wilmott On 0 comments

I won't lie, it's been a tough year. Just to make myself clear I've enjoyed staying at home and not meeting people and all that, and it has given me the opportunity to reignite my past love for quiet indoor hobbies otherwise hampered by all the going to places (yeah, as if). No, I'm talking about finding a phone that would make me run to the store on launch day. Or maybe pre-order. Whichever is the more rushed and impulsive of the two. Perhaps I should just accept that I'm no longer a run-to-the-store kind of guy? Anyway, I do have a list of phones that I feel are worth saying a few...

It's hardly surprising that Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi is working on yet another mid-range smartphone. But it is. What's perhaps more surprising is that unlike the main Mi brand, Redmi doesn't seem capable of counting past 9, at least for the global market. Its next smartphone is going to be the Redmi Note 9T - see, no 10 in sight. This will be a new member of the already incredibly crowded and confusing Redmi Note 9 line - quick, off the top of your head, name the differences between the Redmi Note 9, Redmi Note 9S, Redmi Note 9 Pro, Redmi Note 9 4G, Redmi Note 9 5G, Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G, and...

The iQOO 7, on the other hand, used the same amount of LPDDR5 RAM but has 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

If you're looking for a cheap Android smartphone that costs $349.99, most people would recommend a Pixel 4a. But, if you're willing to settle for a slightly less great main camera, the OnePlus 7T can now be yours for the exact same price - and it's a better phone in every other respect. Interestingly, the 7T has an actual telephoto camera on the back, unlike both of its successors from 2020, the 8 and 8T.
