Huawei has made a less powerful version of its expensive flagship smartphone. Dubbed as the Huawei Mate 9 Lite, it’s a toned down variant of the Mate 9 launched earlier this month. The design is basically the same, so only those elements inside have been changed. It carries a slightly smaller 5.5-inch 1080p IPS screen …

Kata Philippines also has something for those who want a decent entry-level device. Probably what distinguishes the Kata C2 among other smartphones within the same price range is its metal build quality. Most other handsets are made up of plastic. And while that’s okay, there are still people who prefer something a little more sleek. …

Kata has announced its top of the line Android phone for the holiday season - the Kata Selfie. Local manufacturers have been releasing smartphones left and right and that's what usually happens when we're nearing the Christmas period. The name of Kata's new flagship is pretty straightforward in what it wants to offer - fantastic selfie capabilities. Kata Selfie features a 5.5-inch 1080p IPS display protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass for scratch resistance. The sides appear to be made out of metal, which exudes a premium look and feel. There's only one camera for both the front and back. That's

OnePlus has officially unveiled its surprising mid-cycle release - the OnePlus 3T. It's not exactly surprising in the sense that we haven't heard about it, but rather that it's not on their typical release schedule. And this one's isn't an entirely new phone, but an upgrade to the existing OnePlus 3. OnePlus has used the same aluminum metal body with unsightly antenna bands in the 3T and improved some of its internals. For instance, the chipset has been upgraded to a Snapdragon 821 - a step up from the 820 of the original. There's still 6GB of RAM while the

Starmobile introduced a new low-end tablet - the Engage 7i+. Probably what separates the Starmobile Engage 7i+ from other tablets is its call and text functionality. Tablets were never meant to replace smartphones, but it's still a good feature to have - especially for having mobile data connectivity while on the move. Starmobile Engage 7i+ features a 7-inch IPS screen with a resolution of only 1024 x 600. Digging down inside the device, there's a 1GHz quad-core Intel Atom processor with 1.5GB of RAM and Mali-450 graphics. Surprisingly, it has 16GB out of the box which can store quite a

The FireFly Mobile Aurii Secret 4G is built with an 'aerospace-grade' aluminum metal frame on the sides. It has a simple but sleek design which is nice to look at.
