Vivo V29 Pro phone review
Vivo V29 Pro is an elegant replacement for flagships
Smartphones in the highest price segment are becoming more expensive every year, but often their price tag is not entirely justified.

It is for such people that the hero of today’s review was created, preserving the excellent design, excellent photo capabilities and other features of flagship devices at a more affordable price tag.
Xiaomi Redmi 13 phone review
Xiaomi Redmi 13 - still the best in class?
The most affordable smartphones from Redmi (a sub-brand of Xiaomi Corporation) are popular all over the world, although their relevance decreases with each generation.

The hero of today's review turned out to be more interesting than its predecessor, but is unlikely to take a leading position in the cost category.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE - a worthy continuation of the series?

Google Pixel 8 phone review
Google Pixel 8 - a potential hit or a passing improvement?

However, their main competitive advantages in the form of optimized software and impressive photo capabilities are gradually fading away, as opponents from China and Korea are making significant progress in all respects. Will the hero of today's review, which is essentially a slightly improved version of last year's bestseller, be able to give a worthy rebuff to his rivals?

Google Pixel 8 Pro phone review
Google Pixel 8 Pro - a flagship without innovations
Flagship smartphones from Google always find a huge number of buyers. The reasons for this are the popularity of the brand, the software that has been polished to the smallest detail, and, of course, the excellent photographic capabilities of the gadgets. However, the corporation's opponents have made significant progress in the functionality of their products, the beauty of their appearance, as well as other parameters. Unfortunately, based on the hero of today’s review, one gets the feeling that the world-famous company decided to relax and simply re-release a slightly modified last year’s model. But will such a unit be successful?

Xiaomi 13T phone review
Xiaomi 13T is a gadget that makes you forget about flagships
Flagship smartphones attract the attention of millions of people with their visual and internal perfection, however, the price tags put up for them can sometimes upset even a fan of mobile devices with experience.

In the case of the hero of today's review, the simplifications turned out to be extremely insignificant.
AGM H6 phone review
AGM H6 - hidden protection
Rugged smartphones in the low price category are quite easy to recognize. In almost 100 percent of cases, these are bulky monoblocks, characterized by enormous weight and more than wide display frames. However, sometimes there are pleasant exceptions to the rules. This is the hero of today’s review, which is not so easy to distinguish from an “ordinary” phone.
Oukitel C36 phone review
Oukitel C36 - exchanging price for functionality
The release of several versions of one smartphone is still almost a huge number of manufacturers. However, skillfully making several variations of a model is sometimes a difficult task.

Blackview A96 phone review
Blackview A96 is a surprisingly competitive smartphone
The Chinese company Blackview has been on the market for a long time, but it cannot get out of the rank of catching up.

Cubot Note 40 - simplifications that should not be made
The Chinese company Cubot is definitely keeping an eye on the smartphone market and does not forget to adopt the tactics and strategies of its opponents.

However, the hero of today's review is too simplified even compared to his not-so-technological predecessor.
Cubot TAB 40 phone review
Cubot TAB 40 - late to market
The Chinese company Cubot is not one of the leaders in the mobile electronics industry, but is trying to do everything possible to comply with all the new trends.

Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ is a much-needed bestseller
The Chinese company Huawei has experienced far from the easiest times, but the corporation is gradually getting rid of the yoke of sanctions from the American government.

UMIDIGI G5A - excessive savings on performance
The processor is one of the most important components of any smartphone, because its power is necessary not only for games, but also for smooth reproduction of the operating system interface, quick launch of applications, smooth web surfing and other processes.

IIIF150 B2 Ultra - best seller out of nowhere
The sub-brand of the Chinese company Oukitel with a rather original name has recently conquered the rugged smartphone segment, but it definitely has success in winning the love of the audience. The developer consistently releases balanced and competitive devices several times a year, in which it is difficult to identify critical disadvantages. This is also the case for the brand’s newest flagship, which for some reason was released without a large-scale advertising campaign. But it looks like the hero of this review won’t need it.
Realme C51 phone review
Realme C51 is a great smartphone for those who like to save money

Huawei Mate 60 Pro phone review
Huawei Mate 60 Pro is a sudden and controversial flagship
