SONY A7R II REVIEW


Possibly the most discussed, written about, and argued-over camera in recent memory, the Sony A7R Mark II is causing quite a stir. Sony has been outdoing itself with every new variant of the A7-series, but with the A7R II, it’s gone beyond basic evolutionary upgrades. The mirrorless interchangeable lens camera is packed with cutting-edge parts, as well as a trick or two up its sleeve (hint: Canon users, take note).
Yes, it’s easy to get mesmerized by fancy specs, but the A7R II delivers on quality, too.

LG 65EF9500 OLED TV REVIEW


I have never wanted to own a TV so badly in my life.
When I was 10 I wanted a TV for my bedroom more than I wanted a waterbed. When I picked my family’s new TV at 16, I wanted a new Toshiba 36-inch more than a car. When I was 26, a Sony Grand Wega took priority over finding a girlfriend – I got neither, by the way. And just 8 short years ago, I lusted after a 60-inch Pioneer Elite Kuro signature series plasma almost as much as I needed the house I ultimately put a down payment on instead.

OnePlus Mini specs leak via AnTuTu


OnePlus has gone on record as saying that the company looks to release a new smartphone just in time for the Christmas season. Carl Pei, interviewed at the time about the new smartphone in an interview, said that he didn’t know whether it would be a high-end smartphone or not, so eager tech enthusiasts couldn’t get a hint as to what the device would be. Now, however, it seems as though OnePlus wasn’t joking about that before-Christmas device, which could be called the OnePlus Mini.

New specs leaking from AnTuTu show the OnePlus Mini with an “A2301” model number, Full HD display with a 1920 x 1080p screen resolution, 2GB of RAM (registered as 1.9GB in AnTutu), 32GB of storage, 13MP back camera, a MediaTek MT6795T processor, and a PowerVR G6200 GPU, running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. The A2301 model number is placed beside “OnePlus,” telling us that this is indeed a new OnePlus smartphone.

Oukitel U8, Mlais MX Base on limited discounted sale


Oukitel’s first phone that really caught our attention, the U8, is now on a discounted sale.

The U8 is a decent device with a metallic build and a fingerprint sensor. What differentiates the U8’s fingerprint sensor from the rest is that the fingerprint sensor on the rear doesn’t require you to first wake the phone to unlock it. Essentially, all you have to do to unlock the phone using the fingerprint sensor is put your finger on the sensor.

The first two Motorola-built handsets for Lenovo pass through TENAA


Motorola has had something of a bumpy ride over the last few years. Bleeding cash on its own, the company was acquired by search engine giant Google (now known as conglomerate Alphabet). After some time with its original Moto X devices that didn’t capture much attention, Google decided to sell off Motorola to Lenovo, who acquired the company for $2.91 billion.

Lenovo hasn’t had much good fortune with its own company profits, so the PC giant has now decided to hand over design of their handsets to Moto and sat back with its fingers crossed.

TENAA have just gotten a glimpse of the first two handsets, Motorola-made, on behalf of its acquisitor. The first is a high-end handset dubbed the Lenovo X3c70 (codenamed “Lemon X,”). The phone will feature a 5.5-inch display with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080p, a hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor (?) with 3GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, 8MP front camera, 21MP back camera. As for microSD storage, it’s still up in the air at this point.
