The XL is Google's priciest phone yet. The camera Lens Blur feature needs improvement and it's not as water resistant as its top-tier rivals

There are so many Android handsets to choose from with very little, in terms of specs and hardware, to actually separate them. A lot of people are loyal to brands – Apple and Samsung – while others prefer to go for value; value like the OnePlus 3 or Black...
If you want the cleanest and purest vision of an Android device then the Pixel or Pixel XL remain the best choice right now. Both devices feature excellent hardware and usability, plus you know that they will be bang up to date for the next couple of year...
So now you know a little more about the U Ultra, it's time to answer the question we outlined at the start: "What do you get for the extra $100?" Well, aside from a more impressive front-facing shooter, higher grade screen protection and the facility to e...

Abstract: WHO KNEW the OnePlus 3 would prove to be one of the most exciting releases of 2016? The so-called "flagship killer" managed to combine a winning price with high-end specs, and we awarded it 9/10. Just like OnePlus, then, Google is attempting to make simi...

It's a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to recommending one phone significantly over the other.The OnePlus 3 camera has more megapixels, Google's sensor technology gives it a clear edge and makes it worthy of the hype. However, the upgrade to the Snapdrag...
