Realme 8 review

Realme 8 review  Hey what's up guys will be here for gsm arena. we have here today the realme 8 and is another example of a smartphone that's quite different from the 5g model of the same name it can be confusing so let's see what's special about the realme 8 in our full review the realme 8 is a budget smartphone with a flashy two-tone finish and a prominent dare to leap logo on the curved backside the phone is made from plastic but it's glossy enough that it resembles glass and the frame is plastic as well the real me8 feels a bit smaller in the hand then the real me 7 and it comes with a few upgrades there's a new AMOLED display an optical under-display fingerprint reader as well as a 64 megapixel main a camera which we saw on last year's Asian realme 7 but not the global version however unlike the real me 7 on both the realme 8 and the realme 85g you miss out on having water repellent coating and seals on the ports going back to the display it's a 6.4...

Xiaomi Black Shark 4 review

Xiaomi Black Shark 4 review  Hey what's up guys will be here for gsm arena this is the black shark 4 this year's dedicated gaming phone from Xiaomi while it doesn't bring all the bells and whistles as competitors do. it's also cheaper does it still have what it takes to provide a great gaming experience. let's find out in our full review. this year's Xiaomi has come out with both the black shark 4 and the black shark 4 pro which has better specs. but is only found in china so the the non-pro version here is what we're going to see worldwide. looks wise it's a pretty typical curved glass smartphone. with what feels like an aluminum frame this color scheme has an x-shaped gradient pattern. but there is a more vanilla looking option if you want the angular camera bump also hints at the phone's hardcore nature. unique hardware features are expected from this sort of device. and the black shark 4 doesn't disappoint with its physical shoulder triggers ...

ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review

  ZTE Axon 30 Ultra 5G review Hey what's up guys will be here for gsm arena even if you've never heard of zte's axon series before. their latest phone looks quite interesting it's the ZTE axon 30 ultra 5g now that's a mouthful but on top of flagship specs, it has 200 megapixels worth of cameras on the back let's see what it's all about in our full review. the axon 30 ultra is a flagship phone made of gorilla glass 5 with a metal frame with this flat back, it has quite a clean look with the most notable feature being the huge island for those high reses cameras. ours is in this smooth matte black finish and the razer thin the frame adds some grip as well the phone isn't too heavy and the thin bezels on the front side are impressive although this is a flagship device you do miss out on any sort of official waterproofing here but you might argue this is already reflected in the price as this is one of the more affordable flagship camera phones around the ax...

Sony Xperia 10 III review

Sony Xperia 10 III  review  Hey what's up guys will be here for gsm arena this is sony's new Xperia x3 oh I mean mark 3. and it looks pretty much the same as last year's Xperia 10 mark. ii there's more going on here besides the looks though so let's dive in and see what's new in our full review. if it ain't broke don't fix it said sony probably. the new Xperia 10 brings the same squared-off glossy look like last year's a model with gorilla glass 6 protection and a polycarbonate frame although the Mark 3 is a little heavier it still brings a pretty lightweight form factor they're so similar I'll admit I had to double-check a few times to keep track of which phone was which. you even get the same premium ip68 rated water resistance even though the Xperia 10s are mid-rangers not flagships on the front is a 6-inch OLED screen with a tall 21 by 9 aspect ratio a 1080p resolution and gorilla glass 6 protection. the bezels are a little thinner this y...

Samsung Galaxy A70 review

  Samsung Galaxy A70 review Hey everyone over the past year and a half the smartphone mid-range has become the incredibly competitive flagship feature has been brought down to more affordable phones and Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi has been hitting hard in 2018 however Samsung sort of missed the mark and now they're trying to up their mid-range game with their newest a series however the 400 euro or 400 dollar depending on where you live the price segment is incredibly competitive so what does the ACE 70 offer you for the money I'm Angie for GSM marina and this is our Samsung Galaxy a7 deep review. the galaxy a 70 is not a small phone however, it's surprisingly thin for how large it is the bezels are thin all around. although the bottom one is thicker than the rest of the notch is small and in contrast with the large screen you barely notice it the plastic back which Samsung coasts glass stick has a rainbow gradient when it catches the light it looks a little like the ...

vivo V21 review

  vivo V21 (5G) review Hey everyone the market is flooded with great med rangers but very few of them are centered on social media content creation enter the Vivo v21 5g it has some of the best selfie videos in this price range and the rest of the specs are promising too so if you're super into tick-tock or long video calls are this the phone for you I'm Andrew for gs marina and this is our review of the Vivo v21 5g despite its target niche, the Vivo v21 5g has the same square camera bump and serious design language as many other offerings from Vivo of course, that's partially due to the dusk blue color and you can always go for sunset dazzle or arctic white if you want something more flashy the back and frame are made of plastic but it's premium to the touch it's slim and easy to hold too though you should know that it's not the easiest phone to keep clean sadly there's also no mention of IP rated protection or gorilla glass on the front speaking of the fro...

Tecno Phantom X review

  Tecno Phantom X review This is the techno phantom x a mid-range a phone that could put techno on the map outside of their established African fan base since it's also being released in certain other markets. does the phantom x have what it takes to compete with those heavy-hitting mid-rangers that we've seen so far this year. and will for gsm marina and let's find out in our full review. the techno phantom x brings a premium design of curved glass. with a sharp aluminum frame and a catchy gradient finish the surface has a pinstripe texture etched into it which doesn't add a whole a lot of grips actually but feels interesting and hides smudges too. if you want even more grip and protection there's a cool looking case that comes in the box though it doesn't cover the edges of the phone. this is probably because of the phantom x's curved display it's a 6.7-inch OLED with gorilla glass 5 protection a 1080p resolution and a fast 90 hertz refresh rate also n...
