Joe Maring/Digital Trends I’ve been reviewing smartphones for a long time — over 10 years, to be exact. I’ve reviewed many of the best phones of all time, some mediocre ones, and a few duds that I’d rather forget about. It can be difficult to keep track of all the phones I’ve tested and evaluated in the past decade, but there are a few that truly stand out. The Motorola Razr Plus is one such smartphone. The Motorola Razr Plus has been my go-to smartphone for a few weeks now, and it’s one of those rare phones I can’t…

Christine Romero-Chan / Digital Trends When Steve Jobs took the stage on January 9, 2007, to unveil the original iPhone, everyone was amazed at the little piece of technology he held in his hand. Then in June 2007, people could buy and get their hands on the very first iPhone — and the scope of the cell phone industry changed forever. I personally didn’t get the original iPhone on launch day, believe it or not. Instead, I received it as a birthday present in 2008 (my very first Apple product), but my clumsy self…

Christine Romero-Chan / Digital Trends Google’s first foldable, the Google Pixel Fold, is now available for everyone. Even though Google is a few years late to the game compared to other brands like Samsung, it’s better late than never, right? The Google Pixel Fold has received mostly positive reviews, including our own. But like any other foldable, it’s not without some issues. Since there are moving parts with foldable devices, there are more points of failure than a simple slab-style smartphone, especially as this…

Christine Romero-Chan / Digital Trends Back in the day, before the iPhone, there were a plethora of personal digital assistant (PDA) devices that had styluses. Whenever you pulled out that stylus from your Palm or other PDA, you may have felt cool, and people would think, “Wow, that guy means serious business.” But when Steve Jobs took the stage for the original iPhone reveal back in 2007, one of the things he said was, “Who wants a stylus? You have to get ‘em, put ‘em away, you lose ‘em.” Ever since the iPhone…

ChatGPT has gained immense popularity as soon as it first became available on November 30, 2022. However, its very popularity has ensured that scammers try to take advantage of gullible users by rolling out fake ChatGPT AI chatbots. In fact, ChatGPT has presented an enormous opportunity for scammers to launch malware attacks and it has now acquired dangerous proportions. In the past few months, several apps and software masquerading as ChatGPT-tools have been rolled out. In the latest development, as per researchers at…

Christine Romero-Chan / Digital Trends Every smartphone manufacturer updates its flagship lineup annually, packing in all of the best components that are available. For Google, this is the Pixel 7 lineup, and Samsung has the Galaxy S23 series. However, not everyone wants to — or can afford — to pay flagship prices all the time. Thankfully, both Google and Samsung have more budget-friendly options with the Pixel A-series and Galaxy A-series devices. If you want a good smartphone without paying too much, then these are…

Andy Boxall/Digital Trends Realme is showing the way forward for cheap phones, and although the new Realme 11 Pro+ isn’t perfect, it’s ambitious and interesting in a way low-cost phones very rarely are. I’ve used the phone for almost a week and can see where its weaknesses lie, but also where Realme is trying new things in order to provide more value and elevate cheap Android phones like this beyond the mundane. Making it look brilliant Andy Boxall/Digital Trends To look at the Realme 11 Pro+’s rear panel, you’d…

SmartPrix Nothing has been hyping up It’s next phone with executive interviews and social media drop-feeding recently. But merely weeks before the anticipated July launch and eventual brand arrival in the U.S. market, the leaking world has spoiled the design surprise. Prolific leaker Steve H. (aka @OnLeaks ) teamed up with SmartPrix to drop high-resolution renders of the Nothing Phone 2 based on a “testing stage unit.” To sum up my first impression after seeing these renders, I’d say it’s underwhelming — especially…
