Google Pixel / Pixel XL Review

What happens when Google ditches its beloved Nexus program to take smartphones seriously? You get Pixel and Pixel XL, two phones with high-end specs that are "Made by Google" (in Taiwan by HTC), price tiers that typically only Samsung and Apple can compete in,...

Honor 8 Review

The Honor 8 is another device we wouldn't typically review, but seeing as how options may seem limited given the circumstance surrounding the Galaxy Note 7, we wanted to spend time checking it out. Additionally, this tier of "mid-range" devices have become...

Moto Z Play Review
