Review Snippet

The Raspberry Pi 4 is the most powerful single-board computer (SBC) released by the Raspberry Pi Foundation to date, and it got even more powerful recently with the introduction of the new 8 GB variant. We’ve got our hands on the new Pi and paired it with one of the most popular cases custom built for it, the Argon ONE, to find out if it could make for a reasonable desktop computing solution.

Earlier this year, Oppo subsidiary Realme officially entered the market in Germany. At a price of 230 to 300 Euros (US$260 to US$339) depending on the memory configuration, the Realme 6 with its 90-Hz display is a particularly interesting smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer.

Instead of a full redesign, the 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro only gets the new keyboard as well as current Ice Lake processor. Did the manufacturer miss an opportunity or can the old design still shine in 2020?

The OnePlus 8 Pro has now made the trip over to DxOMark, where it impressed by breaking into the top ten, ahead of the Galaxy S20+ and iPhone 11 Pro Max, but below phones like the Mi 10 Pro and Galaxy S20 Ultra.

Huawei's latest iteration of the MateBook X can still stand toe-to-toe with some of the best Ultrabooks available, but it's such a minor update over previous versions that you may as well buy a 2018 or 2019 model instead.

Motorola announced its return to the flagship space with the launch of the Motorola Edge+ weeks ago. Priced at US$999, the phone has now made its way over to DxOMark where it failed to outperform flagships from last year like the OnePlus 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S10+.

The lower mid-range Realme 6i sits right between the Realme C3 budget phone and the upper mid-range Realme 6, and it is available for less than $200. Hardware-wise it is closer to the C3 than the Realme 6.

Every AMD Ryzen 7 4800H laptop we've tested thus far have been outperforming the Intel Core i7-10875H and Core i9-10980HK, but there's a catch

Xiaomi advances into new megapixel spheres with its Mi models. But the manufacturer forgets an important point for good smartphone photos: the software.

The directional keys really got the short end of the stick here. Not only are they smaller than the ones on the last generation TUF FX705, but they're also smaller and more cramped than the arrow keys on most subnotebooks.

After our review of the Asus ZenBook Flip 15's smaller sibling model, the impression remains that it's more a laptop than a tablet. Since this is exactly the purpose of a convertible, the performance is the only aspect left that could convince.

Base Model or Advanced Model? Razer Blade 15 laptops look so much alike that they can be difficult to tell apart. Our table below summarizes all the physical differences between the latest models currently available.

The affordable business laptop Lenovo ThinkPad E490 is also available with a dedicated graphics card. The GPU performance is obviously much higher, but the dGPU is a bit too much for the cooling solution.

A new iPhone for less than $500? Currently, only the iPhone SE (2020) makes this possible. This sounds like a good deal and while the smartphone offers many contemporary features, it lacks a modern design.

Low weight and long battery life are important factors when determining the portability of a device. The Asus ExpertBook B9450FA offers both in an excellent combination - but this advantage comes at a price.

If you want a super-light subnotebook without having to settle for the super-slow Core m series, then the Comet Lake-U-powered Portege X30L-G should do the trick so long as you can accept a few compromises along the way.

Gaming laptops with good battery life are rare. Notebooks with mechanical keyboards are even rarer. The Gigabyte Aorus 17G manages to merge both elements in a single chassis.

Our review of the Huawei P smart Pro leaves a lot of questions unanswered. We do really have to wonder why the Chinese manufacturer released, for the second time, a year-old Huawei smartphone in which the only thing that changed was the name.

If you're looking for a super-light Core i7-1065G7 laptop, then the LG Gram 14 would be tough to beat. If you're looking for good Core i7-1065G7 performance, however, then almost any other laptop with the same CPU would outperform the LG.

You do not always have to pay a 4 digit sum for a good laptop. The Honor MagicBook for just 599 Euros offers a very good overall package with modern and fast components, a decent display, and a nice metal chassis.

Apple's 2020 MacBook Air is the first Air with optional quad-core processors, which should increase the performance significantly, at least in theory. However, the entry-level SKU with the Core i3 CPU for $999 is often the better choice for everyday tasks.

On the positive side, the HP 17-by2437ng offers a Core-i3 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. In addition, the notebook belongs to a dying breed that still has an optical drive on board. A Windows operating system is not included.

The OLED version of the Gigabyte Aero 15 fights its way into the top 3 of the light and compact gaming laptops. The device is also very interesting for creators.

There are some advantages and disadvantages to each option with some being obvious and others not so obvious. We go over each one here to help potential buyers make their decision.

The Samsung Galaxy S20+ has now been tested by DxOMark. The scores offer a few notable takeaways, including inferiority to the S20 Ultra, an overall lack of improvement over the Note 10+, and the real-world effectiveness of the S20 and S20+'s digital zoom.

Asus' new mobile workstation from the new ProArt series is designed for professional users and content creators, but is hardly a bargain at almost 4000 Euros. Is it a good investment, or should you get a device from the competition?

The MSI GE65 is marketed as a higher-end product than the GP65 even though they look almost the same both inside and out. Their differences are in the details; the more expensive GE65 has a slightly sleeker chassis design with certain additional features within that can be hard to miss.

The XMG Apex 15 from Schenker Technologies is a notebook of extremes. On the one hand, it offers excellent performance thanks to its desktop processor. On the other, the cooling system can hardly keep up with this eager hardware - which becomes a very audible problem.

The Mate 10 Pro, P20 Pro, and Mate 20 Pro all delivered sub-par selfie cameras, and it seemed Huawei was working on that with its recent flagship phones. The Honor V30 Pro appears to be a deviation from that path, as the phone only recorded scores on par with two-year-old flagships when tested by DxOMark.

The passively-cooled 10.1-inch Windows tablet is better fit for indoor use with an external mouse despite its sturdy build and form factor.

Temperatures will definitely go down, but we want to find out by just how much and if the increase in fan noise would be worth the trade-off. With 4.5 stars and over 11,000 reviews on Amazon, we have our expectations set quite high.

The Galaxy S20 Ultra features a 40 MP sensor as its selfie camera. Bigger is supposedly better and one would expect it to be the best on the market, yes? Well, no. The S20 Ultra only finishes joint second on DxOMark's selfie chart, and more interestingly, with just one more point than the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G and its meager 10 MP sensor.

Two screens are better than one... in most cases, at least. Here are our biggest gripes about the dual-screen ZenBook Duo UX481 and what we would like to see improved on the next generation model.

Visually, the MSI GS66 Stealth offers a very subdued and tasteful impression. But as soon as you turn on the device, the fans quickly make themselves heard.

The brand Schenker is well known for its Schenker XMG laptops. Office and business laptops are not necessarily associated with it, which Schenker wants to change with the VIA 14 – a pretty successful endeavor.

If you're not a performance user, minor differences between the Ryzen 3 and Core i3 are much less impactful than the differences you may see between displays, thickness, weight, and keyboard feedback. Physical features of these budget laptops are arguably more important for the target audience.

In our review, the Huawei Mate Xs has convinced us with its foldable design. While the outer display certainly carries a higher risk, it also opens up numerous opportunities including a slimmer design. However, the foldable has also revealed weaknesses in areas where we had not expected them.

The new version of the Acer Predator 500 is the first laptop in our editorial department with Nvidia's freshest high-end GPU, the GeForce RTX 2080 Super. More precisely, the energy-efficient Max-Q edition.

With the HDR version of the Aero 17, Gigabyte wants to please not only gamers, but also content creators and multimedia fans. The built-in display puts most of the competitors to shame.

The OnePlus 8 Pro is scratching the US$1,000 mark, a far cry from OnePlus' origins. Undoubtedly, you get a high-quality smartphone for the money, but is OnePlus' latest smartphone still a bargain? Arguably not, but that does not preclude the OnePlus 8 Pro from being good value for money.

The expensive pricing of the Mi smartphones is the right choice for Xiaomi and the only path to long-term success. In hindsight, the US sanctions against Huawei are an advantage for Xiaomi that should not be underestimated.

In our review of the Mi 10 Pro, the Xiaomi smartphone shows strengths in a lot of areas that have traditionally been weaknesses of previous generation Mi phones. However, one thing is still missing from the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro ...

US$1400 should get you the absolute best smartphone around, one would think. Apparently not, as the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra has made the trip over to DxOMark and mostly disappointed, with an overall score that places it outside the top five on the website's charts.
