Posted: 11 Apr 2021 10:00 PM PDT

Introduction The Huawei Watch Fit Elegant Editionsmartwatch launched in late March for about £110/€130. Its internals are identical to those of the regular Watch Fit, while on the outside it got a luxurious makeover and two new color choices. We received the Frosty White version for a review that comes with a white strap and a golden-colored stainless steel frame on the body. The other Elegant variant is Midnight Black with a silver frame, but ours is definitely better looking. The wearable looks and feels familiar, and that shouldn't be a surprise - it is also selling under the...

Week 14 in review: LG calls it quits, Nokia has new phones, Sony teases Xperia 1 III

Posted: 11 Apr 2021 10:49 AM PDT

This week LG finally confirmed it's ending its phone-making run, after nearly 20 years in the business. LG will stop making smartphones, but it has promised that it will support its premium phones (specifically G and V series devices, released after 2019) for up to three Android OS updates. Meanwhile we saw high-quality renders of Huawei's upcoming P50 smartphone and an image in the wild of an apparent P50 prototype.

Amazfit T-Rex Pro review

Posted: 11 Apr 2021 07:29 AM PDT

Huami (soon to be rebranded as Zepp) recently announced its latest rugged smartwatch with the Amazfit T-Rex Pro. Being a Pro upgrade to the original Amazfit T-Rex which we reviewed in detail last year, the new edition brings 10ATM water resistance (compared to 5 ATM on the old model) and Huami's self-developed BioTracker PPG 2 optical sensor. Other than that you get a slightly tweaked software experience in the same military-grade rugged design as before. This means an excellent 1.3" AMOLED with the Always-On Display functionality, on-board GPS and tracking for over 100 sports and...

Weekly poll: six new Nokia phones are up for consideration

Posted: 11 Apr 2021 04:07 AM PDT

HMD reorganized its product lineup this week, arranging its products in letter-based categories. This is not the same alphabet that classic Nokia used (there are no N-series or E-series, not yet, at least), but they do form neat categories that make things easy to navigate. We have prepared an overview of the phones because we have some questions to ask - namely, would you buy one of these and if yes, which one? Nokia X20 and X10 X-series equals 5G. HMD is starting from the bottom end – this is true for the other two letter series we'll look at today as well – so, there's no true...

Posted: 11 Apr 2021 12:49 AM PDT

Introduction, Unboxing Huawei's MateBook X lineup is the company's most premium - spanning the fanless MateBook X, that weighs just 1.0kg and is Huawei's most-portable machine and the laptop we have here - the Huawei MateBook X Pro, which combines portability with power.

Weekly poll results: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11 Lite 5G and Mi 11i get an enthusiastic reception

Posted: 10 Apr 2021 09:31 PM PDT

Last week's poll shows that camera features and 5G connectivity are key factors when choosing a new phone these days – especially an expensive flagship. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has impressive camera hardware, which earned it a very positive reception by fans. The €1,200 price tag is going to be tough to swallow, though, which is why many were asking about the Mi 11 Pro. Currently, Xiaomi has seemingly no intention to launch the Pro globally, so for most of the world it is not an option. The Mi 11 Ultra is €450 more expensive than the vanilla Mi 11. That one has a fairly large sensor of...

Before Android We'll start with the LG KG800 Chocolate. The Motorola RAZR became a design icon...
