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…

Android user’s review of iOS 13… using a pre-owned iPhone 6S with dark mode
After a 5 year hiatus from iOS, in April 2019 I bought myself a pre-owned iPhone 6S for just £245 – 128gb, silver back/white front. I wanted Space Grey, but my local store had mistakenly listed a Space Grey iPhone 6 as a 6S, and upon realising the mistake, the only choice I had was…

Portable Power Banks (My Next Phone)
My Kodak 5,200mAh I’ve had a (now ageing) Kodak 5,200 for about 5 years. It’s light and portable, and has been a reliable source of power when I’m out and about. However, recently I’ve found it doesn’t charge my phone as efficiently as it used to. Last year on a trip to London, weirdly it…

Qi Wireless Chargers
As well as upgrading my portable power bank, I thought about maybe getting myself a wireless charger. After all, they save on messy heaps of cables and adaptors, and are great accessories for your office desk or home. They use the NFC chip on the rear of your phone, and provide a wireless charge via…
