Matthew Miller provides you with news, commentary and in-depth reviews of the latest in mobile phones sporting iOS, Android, and Windows.
Honor announced the latest member of its N-series lineup with beautiful design features like its Dynamic Holographic glass back and a 48 megapixel quad camera with artificial intelligence. It's available for hundreds less than the Huawei P30 Pro with many of the same features and functions.
Samsung's latest small flagship is perfectly sized to take out and about. The Gear4 Platoon case uses D30 material for serious impact protection so you can enjoy the phone in even more environments with less worry.
The Samsung Galaxy S10e may be the best new Samsung phone for the masses with a reasonable price, small size, excellent cameras, and more. The flat screen and fingerprint scanner may even make it more appealing than the high end S10 Plus.
In the past, low-cost smartphones offered terrible performance, were never updated, and it was tough to recommend them. As flagship prices skyrocket, the low end is being lifted up and there are some excellent options, including a couple from Apple and Google.
Flagship smartphones today exceed $1,000 and for many people these high prices might be justified. Thankfully, companies like Coolpad continue to offer affordable alternatives and after a few days with the Coolpad Legacy it's going to be tough to justify spending a thousand dollars for a phone.
Urban Armor Gear (UAG) is known for making lightweight, attractive cases for the latest smartphones and has models available for the latest from LG and Huawei. These affordable cases will protect your expensive smartphone investment while looking cool.
The LG G8 ThinQ looks a lot like last year's G7 with some minor updates and a couple gimmicky inconsistent functions. However, it is an affordable flagship at $620 and offers most of what we see on the more expensive Samsung Galaxy S10 while also offering a ton of settings that let you fully customize your smartphone experience.
TCL released a new color model of the BlackBerry KEY2, it's highest end BlackBerry to date. It's pricey at $699, but it sure looks good.
First quarter 2019 results reveal that smartphone shipment volumes are down 6.6% compared to 2018. Four of the top six companies show declining results, but Huawei had a 50% increase over the past year as it approaches the top spot.
It's rare for me to see people using anything but their smartphones for photography. While the cameras are very good in today's phones, using a third party app can help you improve your camera results.
While digital assistant speakers are all the rage today, having a great sounding portable speaker provides a better audio experience without having to worry about big companies listening to all of your conversations.
It was just about a year ago that TCL released the BlackBerry KEY2 in silver and black. Today, the Red Edition was announced for the US market with double the internal storage of last year's model.
It's easy to find a great phone today. In fact, current flagship devices are so good you really don't need to be replacing them every year.
OtterBox is the Kleenex of rugged cases and the two I tested with the Galaxy S10 Plus are a bit unique. One has elegant leather while the other offers a lanyard and enhanced audio in a thin design.
It was just a couple of years ago when we had one front camera and one rear camera on smartphones and today we see multiple cameras on the front and the back. The Galaxy S10 Plus is not the first to have five cameras so we took it and the LG V40 out shooting to see which performs best.
