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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

My thoughts on My Next Phone (MNP: Revisited)
As much as I’d like to keep my Galaxy S7, if I got a new phone, there are a few things I would like to change. Here’s 2 of them: the selfie camera, and the battery life/capacity. First, the selfie camera. In daylight, my Galaxy S7’s front-facing camera is not bad, but indoors (and, often,…

Why I chose Nokia Lumia 820 (WP8) over iOS and Android
The main reason for my purchase of a Nokia Lumia 820 was because of my financial circumstances and budget. I’m now a graduate and still looking for a job, but when I was looking for a new phone last year, the most I could afford was around £26 per month due to my low income…
