Honor Magic 2 review: A phone full of new tricks
The Honor Magic 2 is an exclusive smartphone to China markets, but it’s a very compelling device and could pave the way for future smartphones. It has a slider design, six cameras, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and a notch-free bezel-less display. Is the experience as magical as it sounds or is this phone simply just […]
Read MoreCommand and Conquer: Rivals review – The perfect mobile RTS no one asked for
EA When EA first announced its revival of the classic Command and Conquer franchise with Command and Conquer: Rivals at E3 last year, fans were obviously upset. Given EA’s track record and the direction the industry is going, it would be easy to write this new title off as a pay-to-win cash grab without even […]
Read MoreVivo Nex Dual Display Edition hands-on: Who needs a selfie camera?
[embedded content] Just a couple of months ago we got our first glimpse at the Nubia X, the first smartphone with a display hidden on the back of the device. The secondary screen enabled Nubia to completely remove the front-facing camera, as users are able to use the secondary display as a viewfinder. Today, Vivo […]
Read MoreAsus Zenfone Max Pro M2 hands on: Punching above
Earlier this year, Asus made a comeback of sorts in the Indian market. It was a while since the company had launched any smartphone in the country. Once a decent mid-segment player, ASUS lost the plot when it came to affordable smartphones amidst stiff competition from several Chinese players. The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 […]

2019 Hyundai Nexo First Drive – The Future Is Beige
Hyundai’s hydrogen-powered Nexo is so ludicrously specialized that it’s utterly impossible to make a case for it outside of California. In fact, even that might be overstating its usefulness — allow me to try again. The Nexo Fuel Cell works near Los Angeles or San Francisco and absolutely nowhere else […]
Read MoreEssential Audio Adapter HD review: High-end sound for the PH-1 won’t do jack to help Essential
Article Contents Essential’s PH-1 was criticized at launch for some valid reasons, like a mediocre camera, high price tag, and lack of a headphone jack. But great software and a falling price have earned it a small but impassioned cult following. Now the high-end niche phone from 2017 has a high-end niche audio accessory to […]
Read MoreNokia 8.1 hands-on: The best yet from HMD Global?
Last week, HMD Global unveiled the Nokia 8.1 in Dubai and today the company launched its latest smartphone in India. The new Nokia 8.1 is not a successor to the Nokia 8 or Nokia 8 Sirocco in terms of specifications and also isn’t in the same segment as those flagship smartphones. The nomenclature can confuse […]
Read MorePlantronics BackBeat Fit 3100 review: Take it to the pool or the streets
There are a few salient categories of true wireless earbuds: the AirPods wannabes, the cheap but good stuff, and the sporty variants. The Plantronics BackBeat Fit 3100 falls into the third division and includes IP57-certified earbuds with a 740mAh charging case. If you can overlook the bulky design and high price, it’s the ideal union […]
Read MoreMophie Powerstation USB-C 3XL: Lots of power for lots of money, but device compatibility is a deal-breaker
Article Contents It’s weird to think that there’s a high-end power accessory market, but there is. Mophie pretty much dominates it with just a few special characteristics: a slightly more premium build quality, better materials, and high-end specs. Of course, Mophie’s products also typically come with a sky-high price tag, and that’s the case here […]
Read MoreDJI Osmo Pocket review: A pocket-sized powerhouse
The DJI Osmo Pocket is a three-axis gimbal with a permanently attached camera sensor. When you connect the Osmo Pocket to your compatible smartphone, it becomes a fully-contained photography and filmmaking tool that literally fits in your pocket. If you’re a pro photographer or filmmaker, the Osmo Pocket isn’t going to replace your professional DSLR when you […]
Read MoreMeizu 16th hands-on: Impressive sum of parts
Meizu is making a comeback in the Indian market piggybacking on its flagship smartphone, the Meizu 16th. Founded in 2003 in Zhuhai, China, Meizu has had an interesting portfolio of devices but couldn’t really make it big in its home country, or in markets like India where it debuted in 2015. With the 16th, the […]
Read MoreGoogle Pixel 3 / Pixel 3 XL case reviews: Because breaking an $800+ phone would really suck [Updated continuously]
Article Contents If you thought the Pixel 2 and 2 XL were expensive, you probably weren’t very happy when you saw the Pixel 3’s $799 and Pixel 3 XL’s $899 MSRPs. The Pixel 3 XL received a modest $50 jump in price from the 2 XL, but the Pixel 3 went up by a whopping […]
Read MoreXiaomi’s new lamps, bulb and plug are an excellent way to ‘smarten’ your home
I’m admittedly new to the “smart home” scene. Up until now, my only smart home devices were a couple of Google Home Minis, an Echo Dot, and a Nest thermostat. Those are neat, but I didn’t really go full throttle into the big “smart home” scene until Xiaomi offered a few products to review. Now I’m […]
Read MoreRowkin Ascent Charge+ review: Affordable but frustrating truly wireless earbuds
Article Contents If you peruse our Winter 2018 Most Wanted audio guide (and you should — good stuff in there), you’ll notice an unfortunate trend. With few exceptions, manufacturers of wireless audio gear seem timid about adopting USB Type-C charging. So I was excited to get my hands on the Rowkin Ascent Charge: they’re fully […]
Read MoreSirin Finney hands-on: Only for the HODLers
Hodl (ˈhɒdəl; verb; often written HODL): Slang for holding a cryptocurrency rather than selling it. Can also mean Hold On For Dear Life. We’ve seen a few weird and wonderful phones this year, but the Finney is probably the most bizarre yet. The creation of Israel-based Sirin Labs, the Finney is designed for a very specific group of people: crypto […]
Read MoreAsus ROG Phone review: The perfect mobile weapon for your ROG arsenal
We’ve been down the gaming phone road before. Nokia first attempted to woo gamers with the N-Gage in 2003, but it was a commercial failure. Sony Ericsson tried it in 2011 with the Xperia Play, an official PlayStation phone with a nifty slide-out gamepad. Like with the PlayStation Vita, Sony simply didn’t deliver on the […]
Read MoreNVIDIA SHIELD Android TV re-review: Not the box you bought three years ago
Article Contents The device we currently know as the “NVIDIA SHIELD” is not the first one to carry the name. That honor goes to the handheld device launched in 2013, later renamed SHIELD Portable. After that came the SHIELD Tablet, and finally the SHIELD Android TV in 2015. It was not the only way to […]
Read MoreAsus Chromebook C423NA review: A cheap, big laptop with some obvious caveats
Article Contents We’ve said before here at Android Police that Asus makes some of the best Chromebooks on the market, but bumps in the road are inevitable. Take the last one we reviewed, the C223NA. Corbin came away under-impressed, so we hoped that Asus’ next offering would hearken back to what made us fall in […]
Read MoreHonor 8C, the first smartphone with Snapdragon 632 processor, launched in India
Honor Honor has announced the launch of its ne9w mid-range smartphone, the Honor 8C, in India. Honor 8C is the world’s first smartphone equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor. Mid-range specifications Honor 8C is quite an affordable smartphone but manages to pack in mid-range specifications. There’s Snapdragon 632 processor with 4GB of RAM, backed by […]
Read MoreVinpok Split review: An undeniably neat and totally overpriced portable touchscreen monitor
Article Contents Like an increasing number of people, I do all my work on a laptop. When I’m at home, it’s generally docked at my desk, attached to a large, stationary monitor. When I take the show on the road, I find I miss the convenience of having two screens at my disposal. Less real […]
