Apple iPhone 7 Review


In a familiar looking shell, the iPhone 7 breaks convention by not breaking form. Tradition dictates a major design refresh after two years from Apple, but what we got this year was a similar design for the third year in a row.

A Day With The Samsung Gear IconX


My trusty Jaybird Bluebuds X died on me during a jog in a light drizzle last week. To be fair, it wasn't the first time I've used it in similar, wetter conditions. It served its purpose more than well enough, for long enough.

So it's time for a new pair of buds.

Quick Look at the HTC 10


If you’re not a tech enthusiast, you probably don’t even know the HTC 10 exists. Partly because the phone isn’t officially sold in Singapore, and partly because of HTC’s small market presence here. Nonetheless, I got my hands on an imported set from Taiwan, and would like to share my quick impressions of the device after spending a little bit of time with it.

Quick Look at the LG G5


As LG’s flagship device for the first part of 2016, the LG G5 has a lot to live up to. Unlike Samsung which chose to take a more “evolutionary” approach with the S7 and S7 Edge, LG went back to the drawing board and came up with an all new metal phone. All while keeping a user replaceable battery, and a new feature that enables certain “attachments” to the G5.

I had a chance to test out the device for a short while, and while it isn't enough to give a full review, I thought I would give my quick impressions on it.

BlackBerry Priv Review: New Beginnings


The BlackBerry Priv is probably the most interesting Android device released this year. Not only does it bring with it a slider form factor, it is also BlackBerry’s first smartphone that is “Powered by Android”. So let's talk a bit more about it.

Samsung Gear S2 Review: On the Right Track


Samsung has been going at it in the wearables game for a while now, and their past attempts has been somewhat underwhelming. With the Gear S2, they finally have a watch that I think is at least worth checking out.

Sony Xperia Z5 Review: Same Same, But Different


Yup, you read it right. Yet another Sony Z-series flagship phone review. In case you have forgotten, here's a quick reminder. While the Xperia Z3+ was announced in late May (if you don't count the Z4), the phone only arrived in Singapore early July. So after just little over 3 months, I now have the Xperia Z5 in my hands. And nope, I have no idea what the folks over at Sony were smoking.

Apple iPhone 6S Review: Here we go again


This is the best iPhone to date. The end. 

This is how one does a new iPhone review isn't it? But really, do you need a review to tell you that Apple has the ability to make iteratively better products at this point in time?

Moto E LTE (2nd Generation)


I recently got my hands on the 2nd generation Motorola Moto E, and I have to say, this is an impressive little device. In fact, I would probably go as far as calling it one of the most impressive device I have used this year.

Quick Thoughts on the HTC One M9


About a week ago, the HTC One M9 was finally released in Singapore. I got my hands on one, and would like to share some of my personal thoughts on the device.
