Smartphone review: Xiaomi Black Shark 3S

Xiaomi Black Shark 3S - minor improvements?

Gaming smartphones of the Chinese company Xiaomi have found their audience, but they have not become world bestsellers. Somewhere the photographic abilities pumped up, in some model users did not appreciate the work of designers. But a significant number of fans of expensive Android phones were saddened by the lack of contactless payments. The hero of today's review, unfortunately, does not change the situation.

Smartphone review: Realme V5

Realme V5 - successful start of a new line?

The Chinese company Realmi is rapidly expanding the range of products offered, while the corporation still has much more logic in dividing the model lines than, for example, their main opponents, Xiaomi. So, the hero of today's review should be the foundation of the latest series of smartphones that offer impressive performance for a reasonable price.

Smartphone review: OnePlus Nord

OnePlus Nord - cold calculation

The Chinese company Vanplas wants, if not global dominance in the smartphone market, then certainly an increase in the number of buyers. Expensive flagship phones are not affordable for everyone, so the release of mid-range devices to expand the audience is a logical action for the manufacturer. The hero of today's review became the first representative of the brand's new inexpensive line.

Smartphone review: Xiaomi Poco C3

Xiaomi Poco C3 - when only the name is new

The Chinese company Xiaomi has recently taken a fashion for the release of essentially identical products under different names. For example, the same model can be represented in the assortment of several sub-brands at once. So, the hero of today's review is incredibly similar to the previously released Redmi 9C.

Smartphone review: Lenovo Legion Pro

Lenovo Legion Pro - from laptops to smartphones

Legion-line of gaming laptops from the Chinese company Lenovo has been giving a lot of pleasure to modern gamers for many years. However, the development of the mobile entertainment industry is pushing the developer to create a special "smart" phone with incredible performance and futuristic looks. The hero of today's review has definitely succeeded in these aspects.

Smartphone review: Realme C15

Realme C15 - cold-blooded competition

Although the Chinese company Realmi is a young player in the smartphone market, it is under the wing of the very experienced Oppo corporation, thanks to which the firm's budget and the experience of its specialists are incredibly high. Having immediately chosen such a mastodon as Redmi for the role of the main competitor, the manufacturer tries not to blindly copy every new product of the opponent, but to improve almost every component of the released devices.

Smartphone review: Oppo K7 5G

Oppo K7 5G - following fashion

Mid-range smartphones with 5G support are becoming more popular, which is why a huge number of manufacturers are trying to release their bestseller. The Chinese company Oppo also decided to grab part of the audience. The hero of today's review relies on the overall balance of parameters and a low price. But can these advantages distinguish the novelty from the background of opponents?

Smartphone review: Realme X3 Pro

Realme X3 Pro - demonstration of the best qualities

The world is changing. A few years ago, the Chinese company Xiaomi had to fight for an audience and conduct an extremely favorable price policy for buyers. Now the manufacturer is not much different in terms of the price tag of devices and their technological equipment from well-known European and American A-brands. But how pleasant it is to realize that the place of the company was taken by another developer from China, offering a magnificent flagship for very reasonable money.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Mi Mix 2020

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2020 - evolution in the wrong direction

The mix-line of smartphones of the Chinese company Xiaomi tried to combine not only incredible beauty, but also innovative technologies. Although the list of phones in the series is small, each new model surprised the audience. Unfortunately, the hero of this review, although it carries a number of interesting design and technical solutions, some of its features, together with an overpriced price, can scare away buyers.

Smartphone review: Ulefone Note 9P

Ulefone Note 9P - an accessible assistant in any business

Low end smartphones fail to deliver flagship performance or expensive build materials. This fact can easily be explained by the prime cost of the phones, but the manufacturer can try to do everything possible to ensure that the device is balanced in every detail. The hero of today's review is quite worthy of such a definition and has only a few minor flaws within the asking price.

Smartphone Review Vivo X50 Pro

Vivo X50 Pro - an innovative camera phone?

Modern users want to get from a mobile assistant not only functionality, beauty and autonomy, but also outstanding photographic capabilities that can in many cases forget about the existence of full-size cameras. The hero of today's review is trying to give such high-quality photos and videos that it is hard to believe what is happening. But what about the other parameters of the device.

Smartphone Review Vivo IQOO 3

Vivo IQOO 3 - are the games over?

The IQOO-line of smartphones of the famous Chinese company Vivo was originally intended for gamers and provided incredible performance for the asking price. However, in other aspects, the phones were slightly different from other representatives of the segment. The hero of today's review is ready to correct this situation for the better.

Smartphone review: Ulefone Armor 9E

Ulefone Armor 9E - leaving the best

How often do we overpay for unnecessary functions in flagship smartphones. Although developers sometimes want to surprise their target audience with unusual tricks, not every buyer uses them. So, the hero of today's review was spared from the thermal imager and excess RAM, which had a positive effect on the price.

Smartphone Review Ulefone Note 9

Ulefone Note 9 - superiority of form over content

Smartphones of a low price category are more beautiful for developers every day. It’s hard not to notice how the display bezels become thinner, and the design of the back panel starts copying that of the flagships with almost perfect accuracy. However, in terms of technical characteristics and functionality, inexpensive phones continue to lag significantly behind more expensive opponents. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review will not be an exception.

Smartphone Review Doogee N20 Pro

Doogee N20 Pro - improvements without zest

The Chinese company Dodge has not lost its ability to create inexpensive, but stylish and functional smartphones without serious flaws. However, the general level of corporation products and their software, as inferior to the best manufacturers in the market, continues to do so. The hero of this review, unfortunately, although noticeably more interesting than its predecessor, does not seek to change the situation and has every chance of getting lost among a dozen similar devices.

Smartphone review: Ulefone Armor X9

Ulefone Armor X9 - solid stagnation

The most affordable representatives of the Armor line of the manufacturer Ulefon rapidly developed in terms of functionality and design up to the X5 model. Unfortunately, the future products of the lineup were distinguished by the worst technical characteristics and did not represent as strong interest. The hero of today's review does not even try to partially correct the situation, he cannot be called a full-fledged improvement of his predecessors.

Smartphone Review OnePlus Nord Lite

OnePlus Nord Lite - the remains of the flagship or a budget hit?

Vanplas’s decision a few years later to make a second attempt to conquer the middle price segment looks twofold. On the one hand, users are clearly not opposed to getting really high-quality smartphones at a reasonable price, on the other hand, the corporate image has nevertheless been associated with flagship phones for a long time. The hero of this review is trying to resemble his more expensive brothers, but does he manage this difficult task?

Smartphone review: Cubot Note 7

Cubot Note 7 - released for oblivion

The tastes of the smartphone market audience are becoming more sophisticated. If a few years ago a developer had enough to give it a "flagship" design to release a commercially successful phone in a low price segment, then current users also demand decent functionality and autonomy from such devices. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review is partially deprived of these features.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Poco M2 Pro

Xiaomi Poco M2 Pro - please turn off the copier

It seems that the conveyor of the Chinese company Xiaomi does not stop for a minute. Every month we receive information about the release of smartphones, getting confused in the manufacturer's assortment is becoming easier. Unfortunately, new products often practically do not differ from their predecessors, which makes us seriously think about the correctness of the developer's actions. So, the hero of today's review largely repeats the already released Redmi Note 9S, which can hardly be considered a compliment.

Smartphone Review Huawei Honor X10 Max

Huawei Honor X10 Max - real phablet

The Chinese company Huawei is trying not to lose ground in the smartphone market. Of course, the lack of important Google services for millions of people affects the sales of the manufacturer’s products, but the corporation is trying to atone for such a serious shortcoming by the price, functionality and beauty of the devices. The hero of this review also has an additional competitive advantage.

Smartphone Review Oukitel C19 Pro

Oukitel C19 Pro - repeating themselves

The Chinese company Aukitel, although famous for fairly good smartphones of the low and middle price segments, is still afraid to take serious steps forward in the functionality and performance of such devices. Perhaps the problem lies in the reduced budget of the corporation due to the coronavirus pandemic and, as a result, the general economic crisis. To justify these facts, the similarity of the hero of today's review with previous models is obtained only partially.

Smartphone Review Oppo Realme C11

Oppo Realme C11 - inexpensive, beautiful and functional

We are getting closer to the day when smartphones of the low price segment can almost completely adopt the functionality and design of flagship counterparts. If a few years ago, a budget phone could not even cope with everyday tasks, the hero of today's review is ready to surprise both economical photographers and gamers with a limited budget.

Smartphone Review Oppo Realme X3

Oppo Realme X3 - cunning confrontation

Although the Chinese company Realmi is a newcomer to the market, one cannot fail to note the experience of its leader and founder in the form of the eminent Oppo Corporation. Excellent analysis of the market situation, impressive financing and highly qualified specialists allowed the manufacturer to reach the hearts of the audience. The main opponent of the newly emerging leadership aspirant today is Xiaomi. And the hero of today's review should significantly spoil the sales of Redmi K30 5G and other competitors.

Smartphone review: Xiaomi Redmi 9C

Xiaomi Redmi 9C - budget champion

The Chinese company Xiaomi this year has somewhat disappointed fans of the brand with an updated pricing policy. The significantly increased price of flagships and sub-flagships is hardly a reason for joy. However, the corporation realized not the most correct steps and decided to "recoup" the representatives of the lower value segment. These phones are now noticeably more technological and attractive.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Redmi 9A

Xiaomi Redmi 9A - powerful, autonomous and inexpensive?

For the Chinese company Xiaomi, nothing is impossible. More than once, we enthusiastically met the manufacturer’s smartphones in various price segments, after the release of which the opponents of the developer had to sweat seriously in order to make at least some competition. And it seems that the corporation from China decided once again to make a small but very pleasant revolution for users.

Smartphone Review Oukitel C19

Oukitel C19 - outdated novelty

It seems that the Chinese company Aukitel has decided to mislead most of its current and potential fans. Only we managed to get used to the fact that with each new representative the C-series of the manufacturer’s smartphones became more technological and functional, as the hero of today's review violated the trend. Was it worth it to release this phone to the developer today?

Smartphone Review Oukitel WP5 Pro

Oukitel WP5 Pro - when improvements are not visible to the eye

The Chinese company Aukitel does not cease to please fans of smartphones with protection against dust and moisture. At the same time, the developer also produces quite affordable models that can survive both falls and prolonged rainfall. The hero of today's review is not very different from his predecessor, however, some changes have definitely benefited the phone.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Mi 10 Ventu

Xiaomi Mi 10 Venti - an addition to excellence

The flagships of the current year at Xiaomi company surprised a significant part of the audience.

The hero of today's review raises the set bar even higher.

Smartphone Review Cubot X30

Cubot X30 - five with a plus

The Chinese company Kubot is trying to fight for a place under the sun among a huge number of opponents. It is difficult to do this, but the manufacturer does not lose hope and often pleases brand fans with new products. The hero of this review is not without an attractive appearance and a number of significant advantages, however, the attention of most of the audience will be focused precisely on the number of camera devices.

Smartphone review: Ulefone Armor 9

Ulefone Armor 9 - a smartphone for all occasions

The Chinese company Ulefon continues to fight for primacy in the segment of smartphones protected from dust and moisture.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Redmi 9

Xiaomi Redmi 9 - originality squared?

The eighth generation of the most affordable smartphones from Redmi, a sub-brand of Xiaomi Corporation, has caused quite a lot of criticism. The emphasis in the devices was on autonomy, while productivity decreased in comparison with the seventh representatives of the line, which was not accepted positively. The hero of this review should not fall face in terms of both duration and power. However, some manufacturer decisions will again create controversy and discontent.

Smartphone Review Allcall P10

AllCall P10 - a relic of the past

The Chinese company AllCall did not become truly famous, although its start was quite strong. Now the manufacturer is simply trying to stay afloat, while simultaneously selling the warehouse remnants of components. The hero of today's review, although it has a modern design, but inside is a serious outdated product.

Smartphone Review Blackview BV6300 Pro

Blackview BV6300 Pro - almost gaming?

Today it is difficult to make a truly original smartphone. The reason for this is a huge number of manufacturers whose designers are not in vain eating their bread. In addition, another developer can simply rely on successful design achievements of competitors and create something similar. So, the hero of today's review seriously resembles the appearance of the Xiaomi Black Shark series, however, it is possible to recommend it to gamers only with a slight stretch.

Smartphone Review Doogee S88 Pro

Doogee S88 Pro - unkillable paverbank

The Chinese company Dodge does not cease to expand the line of its protected smartphones.

The hero of this review is aimed at providing insane autonomy, but in other aspects he is very good.

Smartphone Review Elephone PX Pro

Elephone PX Pro - technologically and stylishly

The engineers of the Chinese company Elephone took advantage of this option and created one of the most beautiful devices in the middle price segment.

Smartphone Review Elephone E10 Pro

Elephone E10 Pro - so close popularity

The global economic crisis associated with the coronavirus pandemic has affected smartphone manufacturers. Many corporations have to literally fight for survival, and the Chinese company Elefon is one of such firms.

And it seems that the hero of today's review may partially lead the creator out of a crisis.

Smartphone Review Blackview A80

Blackview A80 - weak copy of best sellers

The time has come when even extremely budget smartphones are trying to copy the design of the flagships. Unfortunately, in other aspects, inexpensive phones do not always live up to expectations. The hero of today's review is a clear example of how, in pursuit of the beauty of a developer’s product, he forgot about his other parameters.

Smartphone Review Blackview BV6900

Blackview BV6900 - available and without flaws

Smartphone Review Oppo Realme 6s

Oppo Realme 6s - a serious blow to OPPOnentami

A sub-brand of the Chinese company Oppo called Realmi is increasingly attacking its main competitors in all ranges. In fact, the company took the place of Xiaomi Corporation, which has recently begun to adhere to a less attractive pricing policy. The hero of today's review is a cheaper version of the usual "six", but the developer was able to reduce costs without much simplification.

Smartphone Review Oppo Realme X50 Pro Play

Oppo Realme X50 Pro Play - simplifications for gamers

A sub-brand of the Chinese company Oppo called Realmi, although it is considered a relative newcomer to the market, has already managed to impose a fight on the best smartphone manufacturers. The corporation is trying to strengthen its presence in all segments, from the very budget price category to the flagships. The hero of today's review is closer to the second group, but against the background of opponents he stands out with a significantly lower price tag. What did the developer have to save on?

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Redmi 10X

Xiaomi Redmi 10X - mysterious changes

The Chinese company Xiaomi some time ago made the Redmi sub-brand a separate corporation engaged in the production of less expensive smartphones. However, while juggling the same phones under different names remained. So, the line of Xiaomi devices, which included Mi 5X and 6X, suddenly went to a subsidiary.

Smartphone review: Oppo Realme X3 SuperZoom

Oppo Realme X3 SuperZoom - the flagship on the diet

What should be a flagship smartphone? Beautiful, productive, autonomous and, of course, expensive.

But is the cost reduction so noticeable in the hero of today's review? What can the gadget offer the current sophisticated user?

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Redmi 10X Pro

Xiaomi Redmi 10X Pro - a dream smartphone?

The Chinese company Xiaomi suddenly realized that it was necessary to replenish its product range with another hundred new products, because potential buyers were not completely confused in the variety of phones presented. Now it’s more difficult to choose an interesting model from an impressive list, all the more so because for the same price the corporation can offer both a practically flagship and frankly pass-through device. Fortunately, the hero of today's review is close to the first category, and the price tag requested for it is pleasantly pleasing.

Smartphone review: Oppo Reno 4

Oppo Reno 4 - high expectations?

Users have already got used to this phenomenon, but the manufacturer suddenly slowed down in improving gadgets. So, the hero of today's review is even inferior to its predecessor in some aspects.

Smartphone Review Xiaomi Redmi H

Xiaomi Redmi H - unexpected power

A sub-brand of the Chinese company Xiaomi called Redmi is still associated with the ancestor, primarily due to the preservation of the ideology of the parent corporation. If the main developer began to take the manufactured smartphones to the upper price segment, the subsidiary company is trying to please us with affordable gadgets with decent functionality. The hero of today's review is not only good in price, but also in its performance.

Smartphone Review AGM A10 Pro

AGM A10 Pro - simple but tasteful

The expansion of the range of smartphones of the Chinese company AGM is rapidly growing after several months of calm. The developer decided to focus his efforts on the middle price segment, where it is possible to produce not only very durable, but also quite functional phones with protection according to IP68 standards. The hero of today's review is a modernized version of the predecessor without the Pro-index, but the difference between the models is serious and extremely noticeable with the same design.

Smartphone Review AGM A10 SE

AGM A10 SE - when the deterioration did not benefit

Although the Chinese company AGM is famous for producing incredibly durable smartphones that are ready to serve for many years, their functionality and compliance with the price tag are sometimes not always reasonable. So, the hero of this review is not afraid of dust, moisture and falls, but resource-intensive applications will become a real nightmare for him.

Smartphone Review Cubot P40

Cubot P40 - is the camera phone?

Already few people remember the days when the Chinese company Kubot had every chance to reach the first echelon of developers. The quality and functionality of the manufacturer’s products were noticeably superior to those of most opponents, the phones of the company for a large number of users were associated with good software and good build. However, the situation has changed, and the corporation is trying to survive in the market. So, the hero of today's review is positioned as an inexpensive, but extremely worthy unit for photography lovers. Unfortunately, in real life this is not the case.

Smartphone review Vivo iQOO Z1

Vivo iQOO Z1 - a risky flagship

The Chinese company Vivo a couple of years ago presented its fans with an iQOO-line of smartphones with a gaming focus. In many ways, the series has become similar to what Xiaomi Pocophone offers, however, the range offered in it is wider, more interesting and more diverse. The hero of this review gives excellent functionality for a reasonable price, however, a choice of technical specifications by a manufacturer may surprise a number of users.

Smartphone Review Ulefone Note 8P

Ulefone Note 8P - sale of stock balances

The production of smartphones is a complex and costly process in terms of finances. So, the developer buys a huge number of components, some of which in most cases remain unused. Time passes, certain chips, modules filling the warehouses begin to become obsolete, but they need to be implemented. Then the manufacturer releases devices similar to the hero of today's review. As you understand, there is not much good in such units.
