My Next Phone, 2021: Part 30 – the final four becomes the final two

Moto G30 vs Galaxy S21 Here we are, then. The Final Four becomes the Final Two. I’ve said goodbye to the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5, and now I’m left with just the Motorola Moto G30 and Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. This isn’t going to be an easy choice, but it’s the one I’ve been…

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…

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 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,…

Choosing My Next Phone: A New Blog Series
Recently, I published my thoughts on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, as well as my thoughts on the Google Pixel and Pixel XL, built by HTC. There’s a reason I chose to look at these new phones, other than the fact that they’ve just been released. As the title suggests, this new series of blogs…

My thoughts on: iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
They’re here. The next versions of the iPhone have been released. Quite frankly, the internet and media went berserk, as per usual with Apple’s device launches, but not everyone is happy with the new phones. Here’s my thoughts on the main talking points on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: No Headphone Port – it’s…

One Week with Windows Phone 8.1
I’ve now spent one week with the Lumia Cyan and Windows Phone 8.1 update. My Nokia Lumia 820 has never felt so complete; yet with Windows Phone 8 installed it felt so empty and incomplete, like I was using an endless Beta test of the final product. I originally bought the Lumia 820 as it…
