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…

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 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 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,…
