Shortly after Google’s Android 11 announcement, smartphone and wearables major Oppo confirmed the launch of a beta version updated ColorOS mobile operating system based on Android 11. For the past couple of weeks, I have been using the Oppo Find X2 - with this beta version of ColorOS 11 installed. Having spent a decent amount of time with the phone, it’s about time I share my experience with the latest, most feature-laden version of ColorOS so far. Note that we at NextPit had already published a primer on some of the fresh features on ColorOS 11. Read it here.

Having previously launched in India, the Reamle 7 series is coming to Europe. The new 7 and 7 Pro are true to the brand's vision and offer solid specs and affordable prices. I've been using the new Realme 7 Pro to see what it's all about. Is it a worthy upgrade of the Realme 6 Pro? And can it take on the other sub-€350 phones in Europe?

The first device from LG's new Explorer Project is here. The LG Wing is like nothing we've seen in the smartphone industry so far, and that's a good thing. For those who hark back to the days when mobiles were crazy and weird, the Wing is almost nostalgic. But is the swivel design practical in everyday use? Here’s our full review.

With the entry-level C11 smartphone, can Realme be able to take smartphones that retail for below €100 to a whole new level of performance? After all, the Helios G35 is one of the latest SoCs to be released. The manufacturer designed this processor specifically to cater to affordable gaming smartphones, and that sounds quite promising! Apart from the number of cores that this chipset carries, the smartphone also exudes personality with an iconic bar and in my opinion, a far too obvious manufacturer logo right at the back - accompanied by a generous battery size that offers a whopping 5,000 mAh. In this review, we will find out together just how well the new processor performs in the Realme smartphone.

Nubia, a subsidiary of ZTE, returns to the gaming smartphone scene with the RedMagic 5S. Equipped with a Snapdragon 865 chipset, a 144 Hz AMOLED display, 12 GB of RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, a 64-megapixel triple camera module, haptic-feedback triggers, and a monstrous 4,500 mAh battery, this is a powerful beast that retails for less than €600.

I've been talking a lot about the Samsung Galaxy Note 20. A 60 Hz display, a plastic back, the Exynos 990 processor: all for £849. After having criticized it rather harshly when it was first released, I'll let you find out in this review whether I had set my expectations for this phablet way too high than I was supposed to after spending several weeks with it.

OPPO seems to be well on its path to transition from a pure smartphone manufacturer to makers of wearables and 'smart devices'. The well-known smartphone giant has released several non-smartphone products this year – some of which we at NextPit had the opportunity to test. Among the most significant wearable products they launched in 2020 include the new Enco lineup of earbuds and, of course, the new OPPO Watch – which also happens to be OPPO's first-ever attempt at a full-fledged smartwatch.

When a new device for review finds its way onto my desk, it is often followed by a sense of disillusion. It does feel like we have done this dance over and over again - a cheap smartphone without any groundbreaking features? By applying the usual review criteria, such smartphones will normally end up with a poor first impression. However, I must say that not everyone is a spoiled 27-year-old tech journalist who thumbs his nose at every single flaw. And if you give the Honor 9A a chance, it is a somewhat fascinating device for a smartphone in its price range. Can a cheap smartphone that does not come equipped with Google Mobile Services actually convince me into purchasing one for long-term use?

Jabra, the price-to-performance champion in the true wireless headphones and earbuds market, has begun refreshing its entry-level range with the Jabra Elite 45h. These tiny on-ear wireless headphones retail for an attractive price point of £89.99, and might come with their fair share of flaws or compromises, but there is one saving grace - an amazing battery life that runs up to 50 hours before requiring a recharge!
