Honor 7X First  18:9 screen Mid-Range Smartphone It's not just top-end flagship phones that are getting taller, skinnier and therefore easier to handle: the Honor 7X, which is expected to launch on 5 December 2017 at Honor's UK event (although you can already buy it now via some channels for £279-300), also features an 18:9 aspect ratio screen for those on a more modest budget. That gives this mid-range model an advantage over its nearest competition. Sure, OnePlus just announced the 5T, but that'll be a pricier (and more powerful) handset. The Honor 7X, by compare, has few competitors to speak of - only really the LG Q6 and Oppo F5 offer a similar spec. Which all points to Honor being on something of a role. The Huawei subsidiary company is finally finding its groove, offering mid-level specification in great designs for those who don't need superpower in the palm of their hand. The Honor looks a lot like Huawei’s Mate 10 Pro, but saves on cost to bring t...

OnePlus 5T The OnePlus 5 just got Bigger ,Ultra-Slim Bezel, Dual Lens Camer and Better The OnePlus 5 is the most expensive phone the company has ever made, and subsequently has the highest expectations. The base plan to meet those expectations is to double down on the formula that has at least got OnePlus this far: high-end specs, solid hardware and super-fast software. Then there's the extra bit of marketing thrown behind its camera setup, which is the first substantial change to the formula of previous OnePlus phones. Making a mark on the smartphone market is hard enough. Muscling in to compete in the same arena – if not at the top step – doesn’t happen often. OnePlus has bucked this trend over the last three years with its phones of high specs and low prices. Times change though. You may have needed an invitation to buy the OnePlus One in 2014, but the clamour was justified when the phone cost just £229 at a time when the then-flagship iPhone 5s sold for £549 and c...

Samsung Galaxy S8+ Is Samsung’s Galaxy S8+ The Bigger-Screen Ohone to beat? Having hit a home run with the smaller Galaxy S8, is Samsung’s Galaxy S8+ the bigger-screen phone to beat. All of the S8’s accolades apply to the S8 Plus as well: It’s a stellar performer that aptly blends beauty and horsepower. Its bigger body, however, means Samsung was able to squeeze a larger battery inside. Couple that with a surprisingly comfortable, narrow body and the Galaxy S8 Plus offers great longevity in a package that won’t make your hands sore. Bixby’s incompleteness is still annoying, as is the location of the fingerprint sensor, but the S8 Plus is still one of the most impressive packages we’ve ever seen. Several months after the Galaxy's S8 launch, Samsung’s new Bixby virtual assistant is fully available though still hit or miss, and we’re not fans of the fingerprint sensor’s location. But when you add in excellent battery life and improvements to a camera that was already top-notch...

Google Pixel 2 The Best Version of Android   Google wanted to announce more than just a boatload of products at its event the other week. The company hoped to foster a new conversation around consumer hardware, moving from a narrative about specs to one about artificial intelligence and machine learning. The Pixel 2 is the centerpiece of that idea. The sequel to last year’s hit phone isn’t a radical upgrade. If it were an Apple product, the company would put a somewhat resigned “S” after the model number as an affirmation that this is one of those in-between years. It’s an evolution of a good phone that helps the device keep pace with the market, but lacks the sort of wow factor that drives early adopters to trade in last year’s model. But while Google managed to wow many reviewers with its self-branded entry into the market, the Pixel line was arguably never really just about hardware to begin with. It’s about developing hardware and software together. It’s a ...
