My Next Phone, 2021: Part 19 – is the iPhone 12 mini an option?
Apple released the iPhone 12 series in September 2020, and it’s given me food for thought. While I’m not really a fan of iPhones, I did buy an iPhone 6s in 2019, and overall the experience has been okay. I still prefer Android as a platform, but I must say, I’m very impressed with the…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 18 – Black Friday came and went
I haven’t blogged for a while, and that’s because I’d hoped this blog would be me saying which phone I chose, and a mini review of it. Well, things haven’t exactly gone according to plan. Black Friday and Cyber Monday came and went, and although there were a lot of deals, I still couldn’t make…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 17 – more thoughts
Taking into account my previous two blogs – one about the Micro SD card slot, and the other about the Pixel 5 – I think I’ve now come to the conclusion that if I were to upgrade now, the Galaxy S20 would be the perfect phone for me. I’ve taken on board advice I read…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 16 – is the Pixel 5 really as good as the reviews? (My opinion)
Initially, the Pixel 5 looked like a brilliant phone, but immediately after launch came reports from users of various issues with the phone. First is the ‘screen gap.’ Many users on social media have posted images of what appears to be a gap on the side of the phone, between the screen and the body.…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 15 – Do I still need the Micro SD card slot?
Just a quick blog on Micro SD Cards. If you take a look at the blog below, you’ll note I admitted to needing a Micro SD card slot. There’s also the argument that previous iPhone users, who are now transferring over to Android […] won’t use the expandable storage feature, so OEMs don’t put it…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 14 – Xperia 5 II, Pixel 4a, Pixel 5, Galaxy S20
In my previous blog, I explored the Xperia 5 II in detail, but now I think I’m ready to make a decision. Thing is, this could go one of 4 ways, and I’m not quite sure which… yet. Samsung Galaxy S20 Let me just say, this is the perfect new phone for me. It has…

This is Part 2 of 2. For Part 1 of this blog, see here. Xperia 5 II – 16mm Ultrawide This is where things get interesting. The Pixel 4a only has 1 rear camera – but it’s a really good one. The Pixel 5 has the same standard camera, as well as an ultrawide lens…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 12 – Am I an Xperian? (1/2)
When the Sony Xperia 1 II launched earlier this year, I was hyped. It was a flagship phone, with the camera spec sheet I wanted, the 3.5mm headphone port made a return (after being missing on 2019’s Sony Xperia 1), & had the unique 21:9 aspect ratio that set Sony apart from its competitors. The…

iOS 14 Review: Good Effort, But Confusing Additions Let It Down
I recently installed iOS 14 on my iPhone 6S, and have now been using the OS about 2 months. While I think I’ve already ruled out new iPhone’s as my Next Phone, I’m still interested to see what Apple has done to their mobile operating system. So, without further ado, here’s my take on the…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 10 – Samsung One UI features I love
A slight detour for this post. While I’ve ruled out most of the budget or mid-range Samsung’s, due to the enormous size of their screens, the S20 is still a possibility, and retains many of the features I’ve come to love since 2016. The only thing is, admittedly, I’ve been rather vague on those details…
