With the smartphone market getting more saturated and prices dropping, Blackview has decided to foray into the relatively untapped market of tough phones.
UMi Super review style and build Though we don’t normally discuss unboxing, in this case it’s warranted. UMi is one of the few brands which goes all out on their packaging. UPDATE: We have edited the wording of this article to reflect that the issues with the battery are with the unit we received, and may not apply to all units. While Xiaomi and Meizu are coming in small, relatively pl...[Read More]

Meizu M3 Note review display The display on the Meizu M3 Note is one of its highlights. Its IPS LCD looks great from all angles, including extreme diagonals. The 5.5″ display is one-glass-solution (OGS) which means your finger is right up against the display.

Doogee X5 Max review The Doogee X5 Max is Doogee’s latest MediaTek MTK budget mobile. X5 Max features Android 6.0 Marshmallow, good battery life, great WiFi range, very good GPS SNR, a great fingerprint Touch-ID implementation and very good looking display at a great price point. Doogee X5 Max review loudspeaker In many budget mobiles, loudspeaker volume is lacking. Not so with the X5. The l...[Read More]
Xiaomi Mi5 review WiFi WiFi on the Mi5 is excellent, maintaining a fast, stable connection at 44m / 144ft from a $20 home router with a cinder block wall between them. Xiaomi Mi5 review display The display on the Xiaomi Mi5 is 5.15″@1080p, which gives us a ppi of 428. This is beyond retina and looks great on a 5.15″ mobile. There is some very minor threshold vignetting at the right sid...[Read More]
The Ulefone Power review is our first review of a Ulefone in 2016. They shook things up a bit with the Ulefone Be Touch, which was one of the slimmest, slickest looking mobiles of it’s time, and still can be considered a great looking phone. The WiFi on the Ulefone Power is superb. The standout feature of the the Ulefone Power is it’s megantic 6050mAh battery. Later in the review we...[Read More]
Bluboo Picasso review style and build The Bluboo Picasso is all plastic, but looks great. The sides are brushed to make it appear as brushed metal, and it’s not possible to tell that it’s plastic unless looking very closely at the corners where the tiny seams lie. Bluboo did a great job designing the Picasso
The Pipo W1S review is one we’ve been looking forward to writing since it was announced in Q4 2015. Specwise it competes directly with Onda Obook 10 and Chuwi Hi10.
Well, a short review (as some added details to chinaphonearena review): signal great, microphone (two of them) great at calls, speaker not to loud but good (with earphones we have very very good sound though). Call quality for me is superb (without Volte feature at my area). Wifi too. GPS is just phenomenal! Less than 5sec lock outdoors (and even indoors) without data (or any other help). Screen i...[Read More]
The THL T7 review is one we have looked forward to. We’ve seen brands come and go, and a plethora of brands new to the game. THL is one of the few long-standing China brands that have been around since the beginning, almost always making solid phones. They don’t release a lot of different models as with the new-age China brands, but slowly and surely, one at a time putting out winners....[Read More]
