Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition - the ideal with a long name
In 2021, the Chinese company Realme pleased its fans with an amazing camera phone with an Explorer index, which also impressed with an excellent combination of price and performance.

The Chinese Doogee company does not forget to expand the assortment of the proposed smartphones monthly, because without new products it is simply impossible to attract an audience.

Nothing Phone 1 phone review
Nothing Phone 1 - surprising and admiring
The Chinese Nothing company may seem like a new player in the smartphone market, but its owner and some of the employees are characterized by vast experience in such a well-known corporation as OnePlus.

A significant number of Android users would like to get a productive and standalone flagship-level camera phone, but at a reasonable price.
