Realme X2: Looks like the Realme XT, although with a green touch The Realme X2’s similarity to the XT becomes apparent from the moment you clap eyes on it. For, the Realme X2 is an almost exact copy of the Realme XT, with exactly the same proportions – 158.7 mm x 75.2 mm x 8.6 mm- and almost the same weight (it is a gram lighter at 182 grams). Realme has brought a new color to the range, which it calls Pearl Green, and while it does add a bit of a flourish to the range, we must confess that we had expected a little more innovation....

The one thing that worries potential buyers is the design and build quality that are normally compromised in the quest to lower the pricing. Coolpad Note 3’s overall design is nothing great, but nothing shabby either. Coming at 9.33mm thickness and weighing close to 160 gms, the device is heavy but thanks to the curved edges and the contour on the back, it fits neatly into one’s palm. The baby skin finish on the back (as Coolpad names it) brings in a matte finish ensuring the heavy phone taken over by gravity is not slippery....

The smartphone is said to feature a 5.5-inch QHD display, which will put it to fight against such devices as the iPhone 6 Plus, the Galaxy Note 4, the LG G3 and others.

According to the original source, HTC is going to drop the UltraPixel camera and will opt for a more market-friendly 16MP rear-facing shooter with optical image stabilization (OIS)....

The Galaxy Note series is one that meant success for Samsung right from the beginning, when the first Note broke sales records and properly introduced the concept of enlarged smartphones in the market. Now, several years apart, Samsung has finally unveiled the third generation device and by the looks of it, we dare to say it will be another successful release. As we speak, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is being welcomed in the scene by IFA’s Berlin audience and Samsung’s own CEO, JK SHIN....

To refresh your memory, Xperia Z3 comes with a 20....

Those were the words Jimmy Connors used in the seventies to issue one of the most public challenges in sports history to Sweden’s Bjorn Borg. A lot of cellphone manufacturers today would understand where the American was coming from. For, in the past few weeks, no matter which flagship device brands launch, they have always ended up being compared – and almost always unfavourably – with a device that hit the market in mid-2016....
