By Emman Tortoza December 4, 2018

Huawei is once again redefining not just mobile photography, but the flagship smartphone itself, with the launch of the new Mate 20 Series – featuring a new design, a better processor, better optics, better battery life, among other new features. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro in particular, has received most of the spotlight, and rave ratings from many tech reviewers, thanks to the numerous innovations that it brings to the table. Today though, we’re taking a look at its less expensive brother, the Mate 20. Specifications Unboxing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBfdBdlTkNo&t=13s Design and Build Quality At around PhP10,000 cheaper than the Pro, one would think that perhaps the Mate 20 is the sweeter spot in its price range.

By Emman Tortoza November 28, 2018

These days, the flagship market is becoming accessible to more consumers, thanks to an effort from the numerous smartphone companies to create devices that offer an excellent mix of premium design, powerful hardware, and breakthrough features, all packed with a competitive price. Today, we’re doing a comparison of two such devices – The ASUS ZenFone 5z, and the Huawei Mate 20. Both devices offer top notch specs, and a ton of features that on paper, would make you go “oh, it can do that?.” Well, that’s the marketing part until you actually use them, right? ASUS ZenFone 5z At PhP29,995, the ZenFone 5z was formally launched along with the rest of the ZenFone 5 series, but was the last of the three to become available in the market (Pretty strange for a flagship right?). In any case, the fact is that it’s one of the few flagship phones that are…

Why are more Filipinos buying mid-range smartphones this year?

By Giancarlo Viterbo October 2, 2018

IDC report is finally out, and while it is important to note of the top mobile brands in terms of smartphone shipments, it is equally vital to look at what helped to make this happen. If you take a look at the chart that IDC posted last October 1, ultra low-end and low-end devices dominate the price band spectrum of the industry. A year later, you would notice a significant shift in the spectrum where ultra low-end decreased, while both low-end and mid-range increased. Now, why are more Filipinos able to buy mid-range smartphones this year than last year? To understand this, we had to ask an investments and economics expert, Migs Lopez of Critical Index. Migs shared with us that the changes we are seeing this year in the smartphone consumer landscape have something to do with Filipinos’ purchasing power, TRAIN law, and inflation.

All You Need to Know About Huawei’s CPU Turbo

By Allan Abaca August 20, 2018

Huawei recently announced GPU Turbo and if it seems at first that the “turbo” designation means blazingly fast performance we can’t blame you. but, you’ll have to temper those expectations for now. The touted new bump in performance did not show a considerable boost in performance in the limited trial that was done. Still, Huawei is riding this tech development and is now upping the ante with “CPU Turbo” – which we’ll find in the Kirin 970-powered Honor Note 10. Switching on CPU Turbo is said to raise the clock speeds and free up RAM. Like anything that needs some overclocking or boosting, it needs a way to keep temperatures to rise – which is where “The Nine” – the Honor Note 10s featured cooling system. We all know that having a cooling system enables overclocking capabilities but how about the power drain? Well, there’s a massive 5,000mAh battery which means power…

While Huawei is more known for its mid and high en d devices, the company also has its eyes set on covering the lower end of the spectrum, with phones like the Y6 (2018), aiming to bring the brand’s expertise in smartphone photography to a broader audience.

Thanks to its slim profile, the phone is quite easy to hold and operate with one hand. Up front, you get a 5.7-inch display with HD+ resolution, which is kind of expected for a device at this price point. As expected, the screen isn’t…
