Surviving without the Google Play Store? – A look at life as a Huawei user

The Google Play store is no more — at least for Huawei devices. The ongoing trade war between the US and China has made it so that the app store synonymous with Android is not included within the Huawei family of mobile products (including the latest P40 series), for now. While there are ways to get the Google Play store on a Huawei phone, it can be a hassle especially for those who aren’t tech-savvy. But Huawei has its own answer to app distribution: AppGallery.  So does the experience adequately fill the void left out by Google? That is the…

Huawei Freebuds 3 Review: A passive ANC competitor

As always with Apple, they seem to somehow make new technology become the norm. They did it with the iPhone, and they’ve recently done it with the Airpods; making true wireless earbuds part of people’s lifestyles. Since then, many companies have taken a crack at making their own wireless earbuds including Huawei, whose latest product is the Freebuds 3. The Freebuds 3 aren’t any regular wireless earbuds though, it is an active noise cancellation capable one that comes with an open fit design. That means that it does not come with ear tips and sits on your ear instead of…

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Review: Few improvements of note

For so long, Samsung has been at the very top of the summit along with Apple when it comes to smartphones. Their Galaxy Note line has especially been touted as the premium of the premium, boasting the best specs that an Android phone can have. Now that gap has been closed considerably by other phone manufacturers such as Huawei, making the Note line less desirable than it was when it first released. Samsung’s Note 10+ is their latest attempt, hoping to sway people into staying with the Note series with the adjustments they have introduced. Let us start with the…

Vivo Nex 3 Review: The Nex-generation in smartphone display

The future is here, now. The dream of the all-screen smartphone display was first teased with the Samsung Galaxy S8’s infinity display, and now after 2 years of iterations, companies have come increasingly closer to getting that reality. Enter the Nex 3, Vivo’s latest attempt at creating the all-screen display. It must be first acknowledged that this isn’t the very first all-screen smartphone on the market, even by Vivo themselves. In fact, they released the very similar V15 this year as well. But to the Vivo Nex 3’s merit, there are aspects about it that help it stand on its…

Vivo S1 Review: Style with some substance

Vivo has been quietly grinding it out among the mid-range smartphone market, launching various products to cater to the different needs. For their newest ‘S’ series, they placed an emphasis on the style of the product for people who are more conscious about design, and thus, the Vivo S1 is born. The aesthetics are on full display once you pull the phone out of the box. Immediately, the design of the body will capture your attention: a cool cyan that bleeds into a light lavender for the Skyline Blue model. It’s a refreshing take in the current lineup of product…

HONOR 20 Lite Review: Mid-range Lite

It’s a little challenging to describe exactly what kind of device the HONOR 20 Lite is.  Taking one look at the price you might get the impression that the quality of the phone matches the cheap cost, but it performs beyond that. At the same time, I also can’t call it a mid-range phone as it doesn’t reach the standards set by others in the market such as Google’s Pixel 3a. At first glance, the HONOR 20 Lite looks alluring to the eye. The distinct neon pink and lavender gradient design featured on the back of the phone that I…

Trump vs. Huawei: No One Wins in This Two-Sided Feud

The war between Donald Trump and China rages on, possibly reaching a crescendo following Trump’s recent announcement. The announcement detailed the blacklist of business relations between U.S companies and Huawei, citing the latter as an “unacceptable risk” to national security. The ban itself was not wholly surprising, given the rising tensions between the two countries. However, the ramifications from the fallout will have an impact further reaching than the shores of America and China. In the wake of the announcement, Google has come out and said that they will be complying with the order and thus, will be rescinding future…
