100 days till ChristmasBlog

Looking for an affordable Christmas gift? If you can’t stretch to the cost of a flagship phone, there are some great budget options out there. Any one of these would make a cracking stocking filler.Samsung Galaxy A70 If they love their Android devices, the Galaxy A70 is a winner. With its AMOLED screen, triple camera and better-than-Full HD resolution, it has features that give flagship handsets a run for their money.Despite the relatively low price, it’s got a powerful octa-core processor that makes multitasking and gaming a breeze - perfect whether they’re keeping productive or levelling up on the way to work or college. There’s also a whopping 32MP selfie camera housed in Samsung’s minimal Infinity U notch, so they can capture that pro-looking profile picture and still enjoy big screen entertainment.It’s worth mentioning the battery too, because it gives up to 24 hours of talk time on a single charge. And when it does run low on juice, just 30 minutes is all that’s needed to take th

How to choose the best camera modeBlog

[b]The latest smartphones have pretty amazing cameras, so if you’re the sort of person that likes to just point and shoot, you’ll probably end up with a great-quality shot. But could it be even better? We’ve taken a look at the different modes to make your photos sing.[/b] [h3]Auto Mode / Photo [/h3] If in doubt, go auto. This is the camera’s default setting, and it makes all the decisions for you. It takes care of things like light and whether you need a flash – and when it comes to close ups, auto mode can really do the job. Let’s say you’re taking a picture of an important document or something you’re looking to sell – auto mode will ensure an accurate shot, more often than not. And better still, some newer smartphones offer intelligent auto mode (AI), which will work out what you’re trying to take a picture of and adjust the settings accordingly. Clever stuff. [h3]Portrait Mode [/h3] Portrait mode is here to give your photos a professional look. It chooses things like colour set

What’s so great about multi-lens cameras?Blog

[b]These days it’s easy to take amazing photographs with your phone – especially if it’s got a multi-lens camera. We’ve rounded up some of the best below, with our thoughts on what makes them so special.[/b] [h3]Huawei P20 Pro[/h3] [img]7fa67275-687a-4e03-be72-d93fde27bf98.jpg[/img] The Huawei P20 Pro was the world’s first to have three lenses. We’re talking about a 40MP, 20MP, and 8MP 3x telephoto zoom lens. Why three? Well, they each do separate things, but work together to create the perfect photo… The largest lens captures colour, while the second one captures black and white detail. Combined, they deliver incredible detail and colour reproduction. That means everything you shoot looks just as you remember seeing it with your own eyes. And then there’s the telephoto zoom lens, which lets you get closer to your subject using a 3x optical zoom, or a 5x Hybrid zoom. In fact, quite often you’ll be able to zoom in and see stuff that’s not visible with the naked eye, like a sticker o

We got our hands on it recently and we’ve got to say, Motorola has pulled out all the stops to produce a stunning smartphone.

5 great things about the OnePlus 6TBlog

[b]The OnePlus 6T is one of the best phones of 2018, and it’s impressed us a lot. Thinking about making it your next phone? Then let us help you decide, with our list of things that make it so special. [/b] [h3]It looks amazing[/h3] [img]6f327f98-cf26-46c3-b35c-58bf9dd3262a.png[/img] The OnePlus 6T is a gorgeous handset. It’s slimline, incredibly lightweight and has an all-glass body. It’s an unmistakably premium phone, and it feels perfect too – weighty but not too heavy, so it’s really comfortable to hold. It’s available in two colours – or two blacks, rather. Midnight black gives you an understated matte finish, while mirror black is the real head-turner, with a glossy and reflective finish you won’t be able to resist showing off to your mates. [h3]A super-wide screen[/h3] The 6.4-inch AMOLED display is the largest that OnePlus has ever built for a smartphone, and it looks incredible.
