It's the new Samsung device that doesn't have any new features. So,you may have been planting your hopes on the Galaxy S9 to be your new phone for 2018,but since it isn't new enough,you have to put your eye somewhere else. But exactly where is somewhere else? Well,that's what I hope to answer in this review. So,here are the best Galaxy S9 alternatives. Best Galaxy S9 Alternatives 1. iPhone X Any Apple fan reading this would be very,very happy. They have tried to prove all over social media that the iPhone X can do things better than the Galaxy S9. Well,I haven't used the iPhone X long enough to tell whether that's true,but the iPhone X is the best alternative to the Galaxy S9.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Review For years,Samsung has been the pinnacle of Android phones ,engaged in an extremely stiff competition with the epitome of smartphone greatness in the sense of the iPhone. For a long time,the iPhone has been the definition of what a smartphone should be,with iPhones starring in commercials,as the template for website performance tests,game tests,celebrities carry them,and this is just to name a few.And Samsung has tried to change this orientation for years.They created their 'S' smartphone variants to take on the Apple flagships and try to push their phones as iPhones with flashier designs and more functions than you could use. They basically made iPhones running Android. And each year,the next...

How to pick a smartphone in 2018 Choosing a smartphone at any time can be a difficult task,and with all the great smartphones coming out in 2018,it makes this task even more difficult. There are those who don't have a problem though;they have sold their souls to Apple   and will continue to buy Apple's products,regardless of the price Apple is asking them to pay. There is also another camp of people that doesn't really care about brand name,provided they get quality. And there's the last camp:their phones are only for calling,texting and occasional browsing. No social media,no games,nothing. From this simple illustration of people,the way you use your smartphone(or which camp you belong to) can greatly affect your choice of a smartphone. For ...

Xiaomi Mi 6X (Mi A2) Specification The Xiaomi Mi 6X,also known as the Mi A2 in India and other markets ahas been launched yesterday at  an event which took place at Wuhan University,the alma mater of Xiaomi's CEO,Lei Jun.The phone was launched in China with Xiaomi's custom MiUi ski on top of Android 8.0 Oreo,though judging from the Mi A1 which came to Nigeria with Android one,the Xiaomi Mi A2 will be shipped to other markets with no skin on top of Android. In other words,it provides a pure stock Android experience for Android purists who hate Manufacturer skins. The phone was launched in three variants: The 4GB RAM and 64GB storage option is priced at CNY 1,599 (roughly Rs. 16,900,which translates to about 92000 naira), while the 6GB RAM and 64GB storage option costs CNY 1,799 (approximately Rs. 19,000 and about 103000 naira). As for the top end Mi 6X variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, the price tag is CNY 1,999 (around Rs. 21,000 which is about...

Now that that's out of the way,let's begin the discussion  Do we really need flagships? A really good flagship with a variable arpeture You know,come to think of it. Companies like Apple and Samsung and other companies can create new devices that literally have everything,and sell them at prices that can change your life. For example,the iPhone X sells at 520000 naira on Jumia .(it'll probably be more expensive elsewhere). Just for the record, that's someone's University fee for a whole year at a public University. So,there would be certain questions you would have to ask yourself before we can answer that question,and I'll list them. Question 1 Do you...

Introduction It's no longer news. It's no longer a myth. The notch is real,and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. It's present on the iPhone X ,the Oppo R15,and many other big brand phones(like the 40 megapixel Huawei P20 Pro). It's something the tech space will have to deal with for a long time. But back to the star of this show - the Asus Zenfone 5. It's got a notch,and a nice, original design,not taken from the books of any other manufacturer in the tech space,as the picture below will tell. Very original design But,despite looking like a carbon copy of the iPhone X, the Zenfone has a few trademarks of its own. The screen to body ratio is 90%,much more than the iPhone X 's ordinary 81%. It's got a Snapdragon 636 chipset,a good(but not grand) camera,and other featur...
