Huawei Mate 9 Review: Ascending into Greatness

Did you know, based on data from the IDC (International Data Corporation), Huawei has been third in terms of smartphone shipment volumes for a while now, with the top two being Apple and Samsung. Most of the shipments are actually in their home market, which is why you don’t really see many people using their devices in Singapore. But with so many people buying them, it has to be pretty good right?

LG V20 Review: Everything But the Kitchen Sink

The V Series is basically LG’s do-all, be-all smartphone. It’s a relatively new series, with the V20 being just the second iteration.

From Versus XIII to XV. It has been a long wait.

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.

Lenovo Moto Z Review: For Better Or Worse

After years of uncertainty, the Motorola brand found a new home at Lenovo. While the acquisition from Google was completed 2 years back, Lenovo stuck with a familiar looking lineup last year with the Moto X and Moto G. Undoubtedly looking to shake things up a bit this year, Lenovo launched the new Moto Z series back in July, and it’s finally available for sale in Singapore. Its selling point? Mods.

Google Pixel Review: Pretty Magical

If you want something done right, do it yourself. I can almost imagine a motivational poster with that phrase being in the same room when the Pixel devices were conceived.

Samsung Galaxy Note7 Third Review: The Phone That Could Have Been

You read that right, this is the third review I have written for the Galaxy Note7. You may wonder where are the other two reviews? The answer is, sitting awkwardly on my Google Docs, never to see the light of day.
