I’ve been following Samsung’s progression through being a player in the Android smartphone market to being almost as obsessed over as Apple’s iPhone. While their earlier incarnations were criticised for being too plasticky, and oft-times too heavily laden with bloatware, Samsung have not been afraid to return each year with phones that responded to […]
Here Active Listening Wireless Earbuds Review
When I was a kid, I used to put music on the family’s large speaker system and cup my ears towards the sound, making my own personal sound shaping experience. If you do it yourself now, you’ll know what I mean – cup your hands and place them behind your ears. You get a very […]
Live Periscoping Right Here!

Periscope is a live video broadcasting service from Twitter that allows anyone to turn their smartphone into a broadcasting camera. Although I haven’t used it much yet, I’ve gained 100 followers and have had over ten thousand […]
The iPhone 6 Plus Bends.
Earlier, I had looked at the iPhone 6 Plus as a potentially awesome Google Phone. Of course, only a couple of days later, the interwebs were choking with news that the iPhone 6 Plus bends.

HTC One M8 First Look and Camera Demo
I have a confession to make. I have never used a HTC smartphone. Some of my friends own one, and I’ve always kind of looked at one from a distance, but I’ve never really spent much time digging deep into any particular model. Well, today that changes, and I’m here to give you my first […]
Samsung Galaxy S5 Preview
As I mentioned in the last article about the Galaxy S5, there are a heap of features that make it a stand out model for 2014. The Samsung Galaxy S5 has taken design cues from it’s bigger Note 3 brother and also presents a more hard-cornered profile with a removable, dimpled back panel that is […]
LG’s New Smartphone Ad Is Cringeworthy
We made a bit of fuss about the appearance of two curved phones back when LG and Samsung released information on their models – the LG G Flex, and the Samsung Round. However, I had NO IDEA that LG would produce such a memorably ad to support their new phone, and that it would go […]
