Review: Sony Xperia ZR The Sony Xperia ZR was announced a few months after the launch of the highly successful Sony Xperia Z. While the Sony Xperia Z was “water-resistant”, you couldn’t actually operate it underwater since the display wasn’t optimized for usage in that environment.

Sony Xperia Tablet Z Review Sony’s first foray into Android tablets didn’t really make an impact in the market. Fortunately for Sony the second time’s a charm! We”ll jump the gun a bit and say up front that we believe that the Sony Xperia Tablet Z is one of the best Android tablets available in […]
For people who want a phone and tablet in one device The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 launched in the Philippines last month without too much fanfare. That’s perfectly understandable though since this is one of the most polarizing products offered by korean technology giant Samsung. At 6.3-inches the device is unmistakable huge! In fact at […]

Priced equally (and […]
Cherry Mobile Blaze 2.0 REVIEW The Cherry Mobile Blaze 2.0 was exclusively showcased to the world on the Unbox Video Podcast last week and we’ve been testing it since then. We’ve pretty much abused the phone thoroughly including an accidental drop test (sorry Miguel and everyone from CM, hehe). Suffice to say we have enough […]
Marshall Hanwell Speakers Review Our time with the Marshall Hanwell hifi speakers has been like roller-coster ride. It started out with ridiculous amounts of excitement during the unboxing and our first few days with it. The black leather vinyl body and the fret cloth design never failed to make us smile each time we got […]
