Motorola Moto G Review

This review is incredibly late, I know this, you know this and Motorola knows this (but it's only really me that cares it's late) The Motorola Moto G was announced in November 2013 and was made available later that same month 2013, We are now in September 2014 and yesterday Motorola took the wraps off of the 2014 Moto G, whilst I will hopefully be getting one of those soon, this review is of the 2013, Non-LTE version, from someone who has been using it as their daily driver since early January. The Moto G is a really quite amazing device, launching at £140 (or thereabouts) you got a device that wasn't cringe worthy, the phrase "you get what you pay for" doesn't really apply here, you get far more for your money than you would think, I could sit here and rattle off specs from a list and bore you all, but i wont, I'll go over the most important specs of the phone and how my experiences with them were. The Screen At 4.5", the 720p IPS pan...

IFA 2014: Sony

Another 6 months passes and another Sony flagship is released this time its the Xperia Z3 (the 4th Xperia Z phone, following the Z,Z1,Z2) it's compact sibling the Z3 Compact, which unlike other minis does a smaller phone properly, and last but not least Sony doing what Sony does best, a great product with a terrible name, the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, yup, that's the official name folks. Xperia Z3 Image credit goes to the Verge from the Xperia Z3 hands on The Xperia Z3 is everything the Z2 should have been, which in and of itself was everything the Z1 should have been, which is what the Z should have been, so less than 2 years after the Zs first introduction (just) , we have the Z3. With a much more refined design, a slightly tweaked screen (the thing they majorly fixed with the Z2 over previous Sony phones) improved front stereo speakers and updates to the battery and software, the Xperia Z3 has very much been about refinement over innovation, Sony had the right...

IFA 2014 : Samsung

The behemoth that is Samsung had their IFA 2014 event today and oh boy, there was some stuff shown that made my trousers a bit tight (Looking at you Note 4) there were also some things that made me wish i was blind, but just as I've done with Asus I'm going to write about the important things they showed today. Galaxy Note 4 Image credit goes to Samsung from the Note 4 landing page The Note 4 was a product we all knew were coming, and we knew most of its specifications because a lot of it had leaked a while before hand. The Galaxy Note 4 from Samsung continues the trend of just owning the phablet (god i hate that word) market,  and it really shows here, the 5.7" 1080p S-AMOLED panel form the Note 3 has been swapped out for a 1440p panel of the Same size and technology, and from hands on from people in the industry i trust (namely Taylor Martin from pocketnow.com) it looks pretty damn amazing, and doesn't suffer the issues that LG had with the G3,namely low co...

IFA 2014 : Asus

It's that time of year again, Time for next series of press conferences for companies to show what they've got up their sleeves, except this one isnt in Las Vegas, or Barcelona, no this one is in Berlin, the IFA show in Berlin is a pretty Amazing show that has always shown some pretty amazing things. This post here is about Asus' event, with Samsung's and Sony's coming in a separate post. The ZenWatch Image credit to Asus from the ZenWatch spec page The ZenWatch is Asus' first Android Wear device, Asus promised us the best looking Android Wear watch yet, and hoestly, i think they delivered, to me it absolutely destroys the Gear Live and G Watch in which it is priced similarly to in design and build, and it even holds its own with the Moto 360 and the recently announced LG G Watch R (Seriously LG, sort your stuff out, thats a terrible name) and although many will say that the G Watch R looks better, i think its important to understand Asus' phrasing...
