We review the Meizu M2 Note! Meizu’s M1 Note was the first bang-for-the-buck phone to really take off in the PH at the beginning of the year.

Finally… the Nokia N1 Android Lollipop Tablet! Last November Nokia unveiled their comeback consumer offering, the Nokia N1 Android tablet.

Unfortunately Nokia was only selling it in China so we never got around to getting our hands on a unit… until […]
We go hands-on with the Vibe Z2 Pro! We’ve finally managed to get our hands on Lenovo’s latest phablet, the Vibe Z2 Pro. Launched a few months ago, the Vibe Z2 Pro builds on the company’s rather excellent (and affordable) Vibe Z that was released at the beginning of this year. The Vibe Z2 Pro […]
