My Next Phone, 2021: Part 9 – Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 5
Just to wrap up my previous blog, I was discussing other options to the Pixel 4a – before I got sidetracked and discussed the importance of software vs hardware on smartphone photography. I discussed how the only other smartphone in the Pixel 4a’s price range, that I was considering, was the Moto G 5G Plus.…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 8 – Google’s Pixel 4a
£349. Straight away, that price is a headline feature. Although just because it’s a lot cheaper than an iPhone 11 Pro Max, doesn’t mean it’s any less of a device. Looks can be deceiving, and in this case they are, but for the right reasons: for £349, it comes with a 5.81″ inch 1080p OLED…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 7 – Google’s Pixel phones
For the past few months, I’ve been playing Watch Dogs 2 on my Xbox One S, and I’ve loved every minute of it. It’s set in San Francisco, and even features a replica Palo Alto, and tech campus for Nudle – the in-game equivalent of Google. The colours, the vibrancy, the playfulness, and the general…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 6 – Analysing Possible Choices
After listing my checklist of wants and dislikes in my previous blog post, in this blog I wanted to start analysing the phones that tick most of the boxes. Thanks to my checklist, I’ve managed to narrow down my options, and without further ado, here’s my thoughts on some of the competition: OnePlus The so-called…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 5 – My Checklist
As I’ve already mentioned, I don’t want to make too many downgrades when selecting my new phone, and that’s why I thought it’d be ideal if I could lost what I would prefer my next phone to have, in order to narrow the huge range of smartphones to just a small selection. I haven’t decided…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 4 – Thoughts
As I mentioned at the tail end of my last blog, it’s unfortunate that my next phone might not be a Samsung Galaxy device, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. While I do like their phones, and the One UI skin, other OEM’s appear to have stepped up their game, and are now not…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 3 – Thoughts
I’ll admit that last blog post was a rather long one, even for my standards, but I had to get it off my chest. The situation with my Galaxy S7 is not just infuriating, but disgusting. That’s a sub-£600 device, and it’s only lasted for 2.5 years. As I mentioned at the end of Part…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 2 – Thoughts
I was talking in my previous blog about whether or not I would keep my S9 Plus as my main device. I also touched on the significant battery issues that my Galaxy S7 experienced at this time of year in 2018. What I didn’t tell you, was the fate of my Galaxy S7. The Fate…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 1 – Thoughts
Hello all, it’s been a while. My current contract ends in December, so, naturally, I’ve been researching the heck out of phones since July (sound familiar?). I’m typing this blog post on my Galaxy S9 Plus, a phone which I’ve loved for the past 2 years, but which is starting to show signs of slowdowns.…

My Next Phone: 2021 Edition
Hello all. It’s been a while since I last published a blog, so as I’ve got nothing to do during this Covid-19 lockdown, I thought I’d correct that mistake and resurrect my blog. I’m going to do that by returning to one of my favourite mini-blog series, My Next Phone. You see, I’m coming up…
