We unbox the Cherry Mobile Omega Icon! A bunch of goodies just arrived at the Unbox HQ yesterday evening, one of them being Cherry Mobile’s latest smartphone, the Omega Icon. The Omega Icon is notable for a few things, namely it’s one of the new batches of CM phones that use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 200 proccessor. […]
Meet the first ever dual-SIM Lumia! Earlier this week, the guys at Microsoft Devices had their first product launch. Of course these are still the same guys from the Nokia Philippines team but ever since the whole Microsoft takeover that’s officially what they’re calling themselves now. And while the change in the logo and name […]
Full review of the LG G Pro 2! LG’s G Pro 2 is an interesting proposition. It’s quite obviously the most expensive device in LG’s current Android lineup (at least until the G3 rolls around) and is the biggest in terms of size. Despite the obvious physical size discrepancy, the G Pro 2 is identical […]
Full review of the G2 Mini! It’s a trend that many of us are all too familiar with: when brands see that their full sized flagships sell well, they make smaller, less capable versions of them, slap them with a moniker distinguishing it from their flagship (usually by denoting it as a mini, or lite) […]
We get some quality time with the LG G Pro 2! A few days ago LG officially launched their newest phablet, the G Pro 2 here in the Philippines. While we’ve managed to get a review unit of the G2 Mini early, the G Pro 2 eluded us for quite a bit until we finally […]

While it doesn’t seem that way now, there was a time where close to 80% of all mobile phones being sold in the […]
Blistering performance from Samsung’s newest flagship We’ve managed to get a blackbox version of the Galaxy S5 during the local Samsung Unpacked event here today, and as is our custom, we immediately installed AnTuTu inside the device to see what it’s capable of. As expected from Samsung’s newest flagship, it scored high marks in AnTuTu, […]
Yet another downgraded flagship? The march of the mini and lite branded phones trudges on. This time, it’s Asus and their PadFone Infinity Lite, launched yesterday in their home turf of Taiwan. Asus thankfully didn’t go crazy with the downgrade of the PadFone Infinity 2 before being slapped with the Lite branding – as far […]
It’s not all about the number of cores according to Qualcomm We got to sit down and talk with Mantosh Malhotra, country head for Qualcomm Philippines the other day to talk about various things including their chips and plans for the future. As you know, Qualcomm has a big presence in the Philippines because of […]
Could’ve been a low-cost alternative to the Galaxy Note, but its price holds it back The LG G Pro Lite Duo is an interesting proposition on paper. It borrows heavily from the company’s highly successful LG G Pro, marketed as a contender to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3. The G Pro Lite Dual was supposed to be […]
What’s the Point of Octa-core? THL and Starmobile have already released their octa-core offerings and so far both the Starmobile Diamond X1 and the THL T100 are very strong contenders in the Php13,000-Php14,000 smartphone price range. We were fortunate enough to have had considerable time with both devices and we’ve written our full reviews about […]
Will get Exynos 6 or Snapdragon 805 processor and 2,560 x 1,440 resolution display Sam Mobile has allegedly gotten a line on the specifications of the Galaxy S5, and apparently Samsung is taking a cue from Apple, as far as making two versions of their next superphone is concerned. The Galaxy S5 will come in two […]
