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…

LG V50, Moto Razr V4, and TCL phone that folds into a watch – more foldable phones!
As a follow-up to my previous post, which I admit was a long one, LG have announced the LG V50 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It’s their attempt at a foldable phone, which features the 2nd screen as a detachable accessory. With a gap between its screens, it’s not the most elegant of the…

Galaxy Fold vs Mate X: folding phones, or unfolding tablets?
As every tech journalist across the globe jumps on the hype wagon that we’ve finally got mainstream, flagship foldable phones – and while everyone else gulps at the whopping price tags – the only thing I noticed this week, was that Samsung’s new Galaxy Fold isn’t a foldable phone at all. And that Huawei’s Mate…

My HTC Desire Eye as a 2nd device
What happens to your old phone when you get a new phone? Do you sell it, or keep it? I kept mine, and it’s done really well so far. Performance Apart from app permissions – a persistent notification bug which resets after each reboot, and which it still suffers from – my HTC Desire Eye…

Android Skins v2 (2018/19) – MNP: Revisited
You’ll remember that I’ve already analysed the main Android skins, but this time around I thought I’d take a look at some of the newer companies. While HMD’s Nokia phones are part of the Android One program, and so come with stock Android, I wanted to write a newer blog post to observe developments since…

My Opinion: Micro SD cards in smartphones (MNP: Revisited)
‘Do you still use a Micro SD Card with your smartphone?‘ It was the above, linked article, written by Joe Maring, Android Authority, on 8 Feb 2018 – itself a response to the many comments on the AA forums – that got me thinking about expandable storage. To answer the question in the title, yes,…

Samsung Tab Pro – my 4 year old, Android 4.4 device
Look at that title. I mean, really look at it. My tablet, a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro (the 8.4″ model), is now 4 years old. Apart from battery wear, the device runs smoothly and without any problems. So, why the blog post? Because Google is now asking developers to target at least API level 29,…

Battery Saver modes, and a ‘realisation’ (MNP: Revisited)
In relation to my previous post on things I’d like to change about my Galaxy S7, I also recently realised why my HTC Desire Eye was suffering from performance issues near the end of its tenure as my primary/daily driver. What should’ve been obvious while using Battery Saver modes, was that CPU usage was reduced…
