Year in Review 2016

It’s been a pretty crazy year. Not just for the smartphone industry, but for the whole world in general. I’m here to talk mainly about the smartphone part of course. Looking back, I haven’t actually reviewed that many phones this year. Since this is more of a side hobby, I only buy phones that interests me. So here’s a list of phones I’ve reviewed this year.

OnePlus 3: Growing Up

OnePlus is all grown up now. With its third flagship device, they are finally getting serious about selling phones (at least in some countries). They did away with their asinine invite system, and turned their infamous OnePlus hype-machine down a couple of notches. This time round, they are letting their product do the talking instead. So let’s take a look at the product in question, the OnePlus 3.

Best Smartphones of 2015

With 2015 coming to an end, I thought I'll sum up the year by choosing a couple of my favourite devices this year.

Quick Look at the OnePlus X

I have never been a fan of OnePlus as a company. First of all, their marketing, and invitation system stinks of bovine manure. While technically useful in a variety of applications, it's still pretty revolting to be around it. Secondly, I don't think their phones are very interesting. Their past 2 “flagship killer” devices brought knives to a gunfight. A cheaper weapon of choice, but not quite as deadly. Thirdly, their slogan “Never Settle”, cannot be any more untrue if you look at their products.

The only reason I got this OPX (OnePlus X) was because a friend of mine bought one, and I swapped my Moto X Play over with him so we could try both devices.

After just 30 minutes, there were only 2 words in my head, “holey sheet!”.
