Samsung S20 Ultra 5G Review
Desire for the latest technology has proven to be something of a frustrating aspect for tech enthusiasts, especially in recent times. Every year, phone manufacturers release their flagship phones to the market; each update generally only bringing minor changes or tweaks (such as a slightly bigger battery or screen). Phones are now on their 11th iteration though, and these changes are now more clearly defined compared to the phones of yesteryears. The Samsung S20 Ultra 5G is one such example, even going as far as to say that the leap is another 10 generations ahead in its namesake. But is…

Vivo V17 Pro Review: Pro-active, but not Pro-gressive
“Pro” is a moniker thrown around a lot more with the newer tech products – an attempt by companies to separate their device from the pack and establish itself as a premium product. Apple has done it, as has OnePlus. So it is no surprise to see Vivo with its own “pro” product with the release of the Vivo V17 Pro. The V17 Pro is not the first “Pro” product from Vivo, but it is the latest. Despite that, the smartphone keeps itself relatively simple design-wise, with the four camera set-up at the back being the only outwardly unique aspect…

However, despite its popularity, a lot of the features offered by the voice assistant are not widely known by the general populous.

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…

Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL Review: A for Effort
Google’s unveiling of the new Pixel 3a and 3a XL was a peculiar sight to see. In a market where major smartphone manufacturers are touting the capabilities of their flagship line of phones, Google has decided to go against the grain and instead introduce a product aimed at attracting consumers who have a smaller budget. Right now you can purchase the Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL at SGD $659 and $779 respectively; that’s a really good price compared to the phones by its competitors which routinely hit beyond the $1,000 mark. Of course, with that price point, it’s fairly…
