Sony KD-65Z9D 4K HDR TV Review
The times they are a changing and so are user preferences. As the vast number of Chinese entrants condition users to larger sizes and a whole host of features and/or gimmicks usually reserved for much higher end models, established entities like Sony and Samsung face an uphill battle to make a case for their offerings. As we saw in our review of the Sony KD-55X9300D, the industry leaders are bringing out the big guns to show why they might still be the better choice.

ASUS Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL Review
Once again it is time for yet another Asus Zenfone. The number of variants that the Taiwanese giant pushes out is perhaps second only to Samsung. For the most part, the company has focussed on meaningful differentiation with the Laser and Max series targeted towards bringing elements from the Zenfone 3 to the mass market but with a sharp focus on the camera and battery capabilities respectively. We’ve already reviewed the Zenfone 3 and the Zenfone 3 Laser, today let’s take a look at the Zenfone 3 Max. Continue reading “ASUS Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL Review”

Where the Zenfone 3 is the flagship device for Asus, the company has a history of introducing accompanying devices that bring most of the design language and popular features to lower price points. We saw this with the Zenfone 2 Laser and it sure seems like the company wants to make this a tradition with the launch of the Zenfone 3 Laser. With a shift in the pricing structure though the Zenfone 3 Laser sits right in line with the likes of the Xiaomi Mi5 and others. Does it have what it takes to compete? We find out in our review. Continue reading “Asus Zenfone 3 Laser ZC551KL Review”

Google Pixel XL Review
A pixel is defined as the smallest addressable element in an all points addressable display device. Essentially speaking, it is the smallest component of a much bigger picture. There’s a case to be made that Google really couldn’t have named their new phones better. Where the Nexus phones were accessible devices for developers and enthusiasts to get a taste of Google’s take on Android, the Pixel and Pixel XL are expected to be the torch bearers of Google’s vision for the future of smartphone computing. They are positioned to be hidden away in the background and behave simply like the smallest yet most important element in getting things done for you. Does it succeed at getting anywhere close to this grand dream? Much closer than you’d think. Continue reading “Google Pixel XL Review”
Moto Z Review: Beauty and a Beast
While the Moto G and E series of phones helped the company break into the mass market, it was the Moto X that cemented the company’s foothold in the upper end of the market.
