Reviewing the iPhone SE or the iFrankenstein!

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
The iPhone 6 got more than its fair share of criticism for its size and shape: it was too big compared to the iPhone 5 and the rounded edges and the materials used made the smartphone rather slippery. Lots of Apple fans wanted something a bit more conservative and closer to the design of the last generation, and boy, did they get it. By popular demand, Apple used most of

The release of a new Samsung Galaxy smartphone generates such hype that it can only be compared to an iPhone release: everyone's excited about the new features and many want to get the latest installment in the long-running Galaxy series.

They say that tablets are done for: more and more technology professionals forecast a quick end for these devices, as their popularity is on the decline. One of the main reasons for this is the appearance of phablets - smartphones with sizes comparable to tablets. These larger handhelds are basically two-in-one devices that make tablets redundant. Huawei's own P8max is one such smartphone: it's definitely big and it can replace

Even more, the company manufactures an entire lineup of such keyboards and called it DeathStalker, after a real life scorpion. For a week, we had

It's been quite a while now since mobile manufacturers tried to design and build better camera smartphones. We've seen Samsung do this and we've seen Nokia doing it, but we didn't yet see ASUS do it. Not until recently that is, because ASUS has entered the competition for the best camera smartphone with their new ASUS ZenFone Zoom. It is a smartphone that promises to offer its users a camera

  • Radu Tyrsina
After acquiring the Motorola brand from Google, Lenovo has been struggling to maintain its share in the mobile handsets market. Even with the two brands mostly aimed at different markets (Motorola for the US and Latin America and Lenovo for Asia and emerging markets), the Chinese manufacturer has decreased its sales substantially, especially in its home country. Surprisingly, it's not the quality of its products that is at fault, but

  • Radu Tyrsina
Huawei continues its ascent in the sales charts for mobile devices, having only last year surpassed Microsoft's Lumia division. Undoubtedly, the aggressive pricing of its devices is the main reason for reaching third place in the sales chart, and while even top Huawei devices like the P8 do not yet possess the level of software and aesthetic refinement seen in phones from more established manufacturers, they are slowly and surely
