Huawei Pura 70 Ultra phone review
Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is not the most successful flagship
The Chinese company Huawei still has a loyal army of fans who buy millions of the manufacturer's devices every year. However, it is easy to notice that the abundance of serious sanctions from the United States to this day is reflected in the success of the corporation’s business and its products. Attempts to use proprietary processors and operating systems so far only lead to an increase in the gap from opponents. And the hero of today’s review is a clear confirmation of this.

Oukitel WP35 phone review
Oukitel WP35 - avoiding unnecessary risks
To achieve success, a smartphone manufacturer does not always need to release products that change the industry or revolutionize the price segment.

Tecno Camon 30 Premier - not a flagship, but a future hit?
The Chinese company Tecno still cannot be called an industry leader, but every year the quality of its products increases significantly.

Realme C65 phone review
Realme C65 - inexpensive and not the most interesting
Every self-respecting modern smartphone manufacturer cannot do without a wide range of products, because a sophisticated buyer wants to choose.

Vivo T3 5G phone review
Vivo T3 5G - not keeping up with opponents?
The Chinese company Vivo regularly produces dozens of different smartphones a year, but not all models in its range become bestsellers.

HOTWAV T7 - rugged, but too stripped down
The segment of inexpensive smartphones protected from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards is only becoming more popular every year.

Unfortunately, the hero of today's review has problems in this aspect.
Meizu 21 Pro phone review
Meizu 21 Pro - the last flagship of the great brand?
The fate of the Chinese company Meizu is unenviable. A couple of marketing mistakes led to the fact that almost no one needed the developer’s competitive, original and technologically advanced products. The subsequent resumption of the corporation's activities under the wing of the auto giant Geely also did not contribute to tremendous success in the Middle Kingdom. Still, in a few years they managed to forget the manufacturer. And even phones like the hero of today’s review are not able to change the situation.

Ulefone Power Armor 16S - not the same volume?

Unfortunately, the developer had to save on many parameters of the new product.
