Smartphone Review OnePlus 8 Pro

OnePlus 8 Pro - an ordinary flagship?

The Chinese company VanPlas has always been able to surprise its current and potential fans with high-tech smartphones that outperform many opponents in terms of software optimization, functionality and price. Unfortunately, times are changing, and with them the price policy of the developer.

Smartphone Review OnePlus 8

OnePlus 8 - where's the innovation?

Fans of the Chinese company Vanplas are accustomed to the fact that their favorite manufacturer each time surprises with truly technological and original smartphones, which other developers then try to equal. However, the hero of today's review can hardly be called original, and he lacks any interesting competitive advantages.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Pro

Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Pro - only for gamers

Xiaomi's line of gaming smartphones has always enjoyed limited popularity. The reason for not the most outstanding sales was the exceptional focus of gadgets on Android games, while other functionality was not so impressive compared to other flagships. Unfortunately, the hero of this review did not change the situation.

Smartphone review: Oppo Reno Ace 2

Oppo Reno Ace 2 - a full-fledged premium?

The Chinese company Oppo is successfully entering the European and CIS markets, demonstrating interesting smartphones in all price segments. For example, the inexpensive A5 2020 provides not only NFC, but even stereo speakers, not to mention class-balanced specifications. However, the flagship phones show the full potential of the manufacturer, and the hero of today's review is aimed at the upper cost category, where he will have to fight on equal terms with Xiaomi, Samsung, Apple and other A-brands.

Smartphone Review AGM A10

AGM A10 - a secure Bluetooth speaker or a full-fledged smartphone?

The Chinese company AGM is known for its excellent phones with protection against dust and moisture according to IP68 standards. The strength and assembly of its products are surprising, but with different parameters, everything is not so clear. The manufacturer’s assortment includes both very balanced and technologically advanced models, as well as solutions that are rather strange for the price segment and not everyone can like them. Unfortunately, the hero of this review is closer to the second group.

Smartphone Review Elephone E10

Elephone E10 - when performance is not needed

Users use smartphones in different ways; arguing with this fact is pointless. A number of people prefer not only to call and send SMS, but also to take dozens of photos a day, while others love to spend hundreds of minutes in web surfing. The hero of this review is suitable for almost all categories of buyers, with the exception of fans of games.

Smartphone Review UMiDIGI S5 Pro

UMiDIGI S5 Pro - evolution or a cry of despair?

The history of the Chinese company Umidigi lasts almost a dozen years, but the corporation cannot get into A-brands. Somewhere there is not enough funding, in certain cases - specialists in software optimization. But it’s hard not to see the efforts of designers, marketers and other manufacturer’s personnel. The hero of this review is aimed at the middle price segment, in which the developer has not released new products for a long time. And it seems that the company invested almost the last funds in this unit.

Smartphone Review Oukitel WP6

Oukitel WP6 - when there is too much autonomy

Fans of long-playing protected smartphones (all two and a half people) can be calm, because Oukitel does not forget about you. And if the WP7 model showed the full potential of the developer and cost not the most modest amount of money, then the hero of this review will allow you not to break your favorite piggy bank.

Smartphone Review Huawei Honor 30S

Huawei Honor 30S - birth of a hit?

One of the main conditions for the success of smartphones of any corporation is not to follow modern trends, but to predict new ones. The Chinese company Huawei is succeeding in this matter, and the hero of this review is aimed at providing 5G networks and excellent functionality at the lowest price, which will definitely please buyers this year.

Smartphone Review OnePlus Z

OnePlus Z - priority shift

The Chinese company Vanplas is not the largest assortment of smartphones aimed at the high price segment. And although in the eyes of users the brand is associated exclusively with expensive phones, the manufacturer is not averse to “bite off a piece” of the average cost category. And although the previous attempt in the person of Model X was unsuccessful, the hero of today's review has a chance of success.

Smartphone review: Huawei Honor Play 9A

Huawei Honor Play 9A - it will be a little expensive!

The Chinese company Huawei is slowly updating the segment of its budget smartphones, even if the audience's attention is riveted more to the flagship devices. However, the most affordable phones of the corporation this year come out extremely peculiar, and the hero of today's review is also not deprived of a number of significant disadvantages that deprive him of his potential hit title.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite

Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite - beauty that does not require sacrifices

The flagship line of smartphones of the Chinese company Xiaomi has always included devices that are exceptionally stylish and balanced for its price. However, the last representative of the series with the Lite index became a real revolution in the segment, because no one had yet provided the design and functionality of a full-fledged flagship for such a modest amount of money. The hero of today's review is trying to keep up with the successful predecessor.

Smartphone Review Cubot Note 20

Cubot Note 20 - nothing but appearance?

The modern design of the smartphone is an important component of the success of the product, especially in the lower price segment. However, users are becoming more demanding every year, and only one attractive wrapper can no longer appease them. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review offers little in addition to the beauty of the exterior.

Smartphone Review Ulefone Armor X6

Ulefone Armor X6 - a hundred steps back

The Chinese company Ulefon is not stable in terms of relevance of its models. Literally within the same line, you can find both real bestsellers and phones that poorly match the asking price. Unfortunately, the hero of this review belongs to this category.

Smartphone Review Lenovo A7

Lenovo A7 - budget frustration

The Chinese company Lenovo is less and less pleased with its fans with the release of really interesting smartphones. The ratio of price, quality and functionality in the news of the corporation is often worse than that of direct opponents. The hero of today's review, unfortunately, does not change the situation at all.

Smartphone Review Cubot J9

Cubot J9 - beautiful outside, terrible inside

There is a feeling that the affairs of the Chinese company Kubot are not very successful. The latest innovations of the corporation, although they differ in modern appearance and affordable price, but still can not please the functionality inherent in many of their opponents. The hero of today's review, unfortunately, is also a technologically backward product.

Smartphone Review Cubot King Kong CS

Cubot King Kong CS - antiquity, relevant again?

The re-release of the smartphone is a very rare event, usually only the most popular and interesting models get it. However, the original King Kong from the Chinese company Kubot can be called such with a big stretch. But updating the operating system to Android Q and a significant reduction in prices significantly increase the attractiveness of the gadget.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Mi 6 Classic Edition

Xiaomi Mi 6 Classic Edition - rethinking the classics

The re-release of the legendary smartphone is a rare and very important event for the manufacturer, because in the new product it is necessary to combine both recognizable features of the predecessor and parameters relevant to the market. But it seems that the experienced Chinese company Xiaomi is quite capable of such tasks.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S - stretching assortment

Sometimes there is a strange sensation of the fact that the Chinese company Xiaomi artificially increases the number of smartphones it offers. The same model in different markets has different indices, and sometimes only a small change in technical characteristics carries metamorphoses in the names. The hero of today's review, unfortunately, did not escape such a fate.

Smartphone Review Oppo Find X2

Oppo Find X2 - premium class for the inexperienced

The flagships of the Chinese company Oppo have always been distinguished by inflated prices, however, at the same time, sales of the top products of the corporation were quite worthy. The reason for success is the presence of a number of competitive advantages, as well as a combination of impeccable design and quality materials. And if the hero of this review did not lose the last parameters, then with the interesting technological chips the device is all mediocre.

Smartphone Review Oppo Realme Harzo 10

Oppo Realme Harzo 10 - economical bestseller

The second representative of the new Harzo line is of no less interest to the target audience, namely young people who want to get the most functionality from their mobile assistant with a minimum of expenses for its acquisition.

Smartphone Review Oppo Realme Narzo 10A

Oppo Realme Narzo 10A - ideal for youth

Smartphone Review Huawei Nova 7 Pro

Huawei Nova 7 Pro - flagship style

The Chinese company Huawei quickly recovered after litigation and continues to increase sales, including in the flagship segment. Each new model combines a catchy design, performance and an excellent price, thanks to which, even without Google services, phones manage to compete on equal terms even with more expensive representatives of the market. The hero of today's review was no exception.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Redmi K30 Pro

Xiaomi Redmi K30 Pro - frantic power

A sub-brand of the Chinese company Xiaomi called Redmi decided to repeat the sensation that K20 smartphones made on the market. At the same time, the developer’s approach is even repeated: at first the corporation produces a phone that is simpler in technical specifications, and then it explodes the audience with an inexpensive flagship with the same design.

Smartphone Review AGM H2

AGM H2 - budget experiment

IP68 smartphones protected from dust and moisture by the Chinese company AGM regularly receive high marks from critics and are notable for good sales all over the world. However, most of the company's products belong to the middle and upper price ranges of the market, while it is cheap phones that bring big profits to manufacturers. The hero of today's review should correct the situation, however, the developer’s small experience in producing inexpensive gadgets is visible in the model with the naked eye.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition

Xiaomi Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition - the name must be long

The Chinese company continues to increase the range of products offered, while using an increasing number of indexes, which are sometimes easy to get confused even for a devoted fan of the company. The hero of today's review is perhaps the champion in terms of the length of the name. But what prompted the manufacturer to do this?

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro

Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro - amazing technology

The Chinese company Xiaomi continues to surprise not only its loyal fans, but the entire audience of the smartphone market as a whole. The flagship devices of the corporation have always been distinguished by an incredible ratio of price and manufacturability, and at the same time have been endowed with a wonderful design. The hero of this review tries not to change traditions, and sometimes even amaze with beauty and performance.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Mi 10

Xiaomi Mi 10 - delightful

The main smartphone of the ninth generation of flagships of the Chinese company Xiaomi came out interesting, technological, but still very controversial. A number of Android users were disappointed with the deterioration of the cameras in some scenarios, some customers were unhappy with the design solutions like strongly protruding photo modules and a drop-shaped cutout for the front camera. The developer listened to the opinion of the audience and created the hero of today's review, pleasing in all aspects.

Smartphone Review Ulefone Armor 7E

Ulefone Armor 7E - cheaper flagships

Chinese manufacturers love to use the same device design, which has received approval from the audience. Following one successful smartphone, several of its variations with different technical characteristics immediately follow. The hero of today's review is a textbook example of such a situation.

Smartphone Review Elephone A7H

Elephone A7H - a smartphone with a twist

The number of new products from the Chinese company Elephone this year is surprising. With all the many announcements, it’s also difficult to single out frankly pass-through phones. The corporation makes every effort to ensure that the announced devices possess not only a memorable appearance and relevant technical characteristics, but also a number of competitive advantages. The hero of today's review was no exception.

Smartphone Review ZTE Axon 11 5G

ZTE Axon 11 5G - meaningless efforts?

Residents of the CIS countries have already managed to forget the order of such a smartphone manufacturer as ZTE. But just a few years ago, the products of the corporation were known, and the flagship Axon with the number 7 in the name impressed with its design, functionality and outstanding sound. What has changed in a short period of time and can the once popular developer be able to regain its former glory?

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Max

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Max - a bit of Apple, a pinch of Huawei

Smartphone manufacturers like to watch opponents and borrow their ideas, albeit slightly modifying them. Someone will call it partial copying, but representatives of development companies usually replace this word with the term “benchmarking”. The novelty from Xiaomi Corporation is definitely made with an eye on the latest products of competitors, as evidenced even by its name. However, the gadget carries only the best features of rivals in the industry.

Smartphone Review Blackview BV9900 Pro

Blackview BV9900 Pro - strength without zest

The secure smartphone segment has probably undergone the greatest evolution over the past few years. The reduction in size, a significant increase in functionality and autonomy, positive changes in design - the list can go on for an extremely long time. But the main thing is that almost every IP68 flagship brings something new. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review refers to such devices with a stretch.

Smartphone Review Oppo Realme 6i

Oppo Realme 6i - neither fish nor fowl

A sub-brand of the well-known Chinese company Oppo called Realmi is slowly taking over an increasingly large part of the smartphone market, however, the young manufacturer can not do without strange actions. So, almost all representatives of the sixth generation of phones of the main line of the developer significantly exceeded their predecessors in many respects, but the ugly duckling was not without it.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro - noticeable changes

The Chinese company Xiaomi tightly holds in its hands the primacy in almost all price categories of the smartphone market. One of the main opponents in the face of Huawei is almost surpassed, but the manufacturer does not think to stop expanding its fan base. And such phones as the hero of today's review will only contribute to an increase in the number of fans of the company, because the model significantly exceeds the competitors and predecessor.

Smartphone Review Oppo Find X2 Pro

Oppo Find X2 Pro - hope dies last

The Chinese company Oppo did not forget to present an improved version of its flagship. Impeccable design and performance will now coexist with "pumped" photographic capabilities and protection against dust and splashes according to IP68 standards. But are these changes worth the even higher price tag?

Smartphone Review Ulefone Armor X7

Ulefone Armor X7 - outdated innovations

The Chinese company Ulefon has significantly transformed the proposed range of low-cost smartphones. The Armor-line of rugged phones has undergone the greatest expansion, now able to offer several interesting budget models at once. The hero of this review is unfortunately difficult to attribute to their number.

Smartphone Review Blackview BV9600E

Blackview BV9600E - artificial expansion of the range

The Chinese company Blackview has currently sold almost a million smartphones BV9600 and its Pro version, which is an achievement for a small corporation. Phones were appreciated by both critics and users alike, however, it’s getting outdated anyway. That is why the developer decided to release a slightly updated version of the best seller. But are the changes noticeable?

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Mi CC10

Xiaomi Mi CC10 - the struggle of style and functionality

The relatively new line of smartphones of the Chinese company Xiaomi, CC, was aimed at young people who value productivity, a reasonable price and, most importantly, beauty in the mobile assistant.

However, in addition to external perfection, the gadget has several other aces up its sleeve.

Smartphone Review Doogee S95

Doogee S95 - lower price tag, higher sale!

The hero of today's review lost the Pro index, which was characterized by his predecessor, but acquired the best price and practically did not lose anything.

Smartphone Review Oppo Realme X50 Pro

Oppo Realme X50 Pro - an optional flagship?

The Chinese company Realmi is trying to use every opportunity to fight with its main opponents - Xiaomi / Redmi and Huawei / Honor.

Smartphone review: Huawei Honor 10X

Huawei Honor 10X - gamers cheering

The worldwide popular Huawei company is trying to completely transfer the production of smartphones to its own and Chinese components in order to avoid even greater losses in the conflict with the United States.

So, the hero of today's review has every chance to simply blow up the middle price segment thanks to impressive performance. However, these are not all of its advantages.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Pocophone Poco X2

Xiaomi Pocophone Poco X2 - almost a gaming novelty

The performance of a smartphone in Android applications plays a significant role in its popularity. However, truly powerful phones are very expensive, while most mobile gamers still belong to the category of up to 18-20 years old and often cannot afford significant expenses. For such people, the hero of today's review will be an excellent solution. But you will have to make some compromises.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Mi A4

Xiaomi Mi A4 - takeoff after decline?

The A-line of smartphones of the famous Chinese company Xiaomi was a mixed success.

After analyzing the situation, the corporation decided to do a total work on the errors.

Smartphone Review ZTE Red Magic 5G

ZTE Red Magic 5G - listening to the market

The line of gaming smartphones from the ZTE company has always been rather strange.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Black Shark 3

Xiaomi Black Shark 3 - game revolution?

Smartphones for gamers are becoming more common. The reason for the increase in the popularity of such devices is the emergence of high-tech Android games (Call Of Duty Mobile, Fortnite, GRID Autosport and others), and the release of new emulators of such consoles as Nintendo Gamecube, 3DS, PlayStation Portable and so on. The Chinese company Xiaomi is trying not to miss a profit and with enviable constancy is updating its line of the most productive phones. The hero of this review is simply amazing with its technical characteristics. But were there any serious disadvantages?

Smartphone Review Oppo Realme C3

Oppo Realme C3 - rational improvements

What should be a modern budget smartphone? Cute, functional, autonomous, but still in many ways inferior to their more expensive brothers. The hero of this review partially violates this rule, and does it for the better for the buyer.

Smartphone Review Meizu Zero 2

Meizu Zero 2 - stillborn concept number two

The first Zero-line smartphone from the Chinese company Meizu never saw mass production. There are many reasons for this: a very high price, the controversial idea of a monolithic phone without connectors and so on. Surprisingly, the developer, with a frank failure of the model, decided to release its continuation. Has audiences tastes really changed over the past year?

Smartphone Review AGM X4

AGM X4 - beautiful, technological and protected

The Chinese company AGM rarely produces smartphones, but each of their products is distinguished by excellent assembly, decent functionality and full protection against moisture, dust and drops.

The hero of today's review belongs to this category of devices.

Smartphone Review Oppo Reno 3 Pro

Oppo Reno 3 Pro - the beauty is worth a lot

The Chinese company Oppo has a team of incredibly talented designers who are able to create the most attractive smartphones in terms of design.

Unfortunately, the hero of today's review, although he turned out to be handsome, is not happy with his price tag.
