BlackBerry KEYone Musings

While I’ve been focussing more on making video reviews on YouTube (which you should totally subscribe to here), I’ve been kind of neglecting this space over here. Those of you who have known me for a long time, might know that this writing and reviewing mobile tech stuff, really started with my love for BlackBerry devices.

So call it nostalgia, trying to keep this space alive, or just me getting some thoughts out of my head, I’ll like to talk about the BlackBerry KEYone, a.k.a. BlackBerry Mercury.

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. For the longest time, LG has been looking for an answer to Samsung’s hugely popular Note series. Unfortunately for them, just enlarging their flagship “G” series, and adding the “Pro” or "Flex" moniker does little to boost its popularity.

Thoughts on Final Fantasy XV

Final Fantasy XV is going to go down as a milestone in Final Fantasy history no matter what I think of it. Part of that is simply due to its lengthy development cycle. Ten years. That’s how long ago the game was originally announced in its first incarnation as Final Fantasy Versus XIII. From the PS3 to PS4. From Tetsuya Nomura to Hajime Tabata. From Stella to Luna. From Versus XIII to XV. It has been a long wait.

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.

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.
