Resident Evil 4 for iPhone review

Resident Evil 4 has a special place in gaming history. Released back in 2005 for the GameCube and later for the PlayStation 2, it was a paragon of the third-person survival horror genre with its incredibly tense action sequences, amazing level design, terrifying enemies, and memorable characters and writing. It carved a niche for itself and it was for many — including myself — their favorite installment in the series. Having played that version on a PS2 all those years ago, I was genuinely stoked to see it getting a proper remaster earlier this year along the lines of Resident Evil...

Top 20 phones of the year 2023

2023 brought us several hundred new smartphones, some more popular than others. Now that we turn to 2024, it’s time to have a revisit which were the best performers by a very important criteria - their popularity among you, our readers. Here are the Top 20 phones that you searched for the most over the last 12 months. Obviously, the list is dominated by the launches from the first half of the year - those had more time to rack up the page views, but some late arrivals did so well they still managed to crack the top 20.

My Top 5 phones of 2023 – Yordan

The past 12 months have been busy with phone announcements, and I'll now be looking back at the devices that impressed me the most. In the world of smartphones, over 500 new models were launched, and I had a tough time picking my favorite five. Smartphone companies launch a lot of midrangers in an attempt to grab a part of the busiest market, but you won't find those on my list.

Top 10 most popular reviews of 2023: Q4

The final quarter of the year saw the launch of Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro by Google. Samsung introduced the Galaxy S23 FE smartphone, while OnePlus launched its first foldable, simply called Open. The device was a rebadged version of the Oppo Find N3. Still, given the popularity of the OnePlus brand, we are not surprised to see the Open gather a lot more interest than its brother from another father. Xiaomi joined the discussions with the 13T series – we saw a vanilla and a Pro variant. Our readers were really interested in the duo, and understandably so – offering great bang for the...

My top 4 phones of 2023 - Prasad

2023 was a bit of a surprise. If you had asked me at the beginning of the year for this list, I wouldn't have included most of them, even if I knew they were coming. One, in particular, caught me completely by surprise and every time I mention it to people I have to emphasize just how serious I am about liking this device, lest they think I'm joking. The four devices listed below were the ones that naturally came to mind while writing this down. I could have included one more for the sake of a more pleasing top 5 list but everything else I used this year had at least one annoying quirk...

Caviar customizes Apple's FineWoven cases for iPhones with Hermes leather, cost over $2k

Apple unveiled the iPhone 15 lineup a few months ago at its Wonderlust event, where it also introduced its FineWoven cases for the iPhones as it decided to stop offering leather accessories as a part of its environmental efforts. The FineWoven cases received mixed reactions, as some missed the touch-and-feel of genuine leather, while some didn't find them durable enough. To address this, Dubai-based Caviar, known for its custom luxury class devices, upgraded Apple's FineWoven cases by replacing them with genuine Hermes leather.

Apple can resume selling latest watches as sales ban is temporarily paused

Apple was banned from selling Apple Watches in the US featuring SpO2 (blood oxygen level) sensors following a patent dispute with medical technology company Masimo.

The Kirin 9000s loses to its nearly 3-year older predecessor in benchmarks

Popular CPU comparison site Nanoreview got hold of the new Huawei Kirin 9000s chipset and put it side by side with its predecessor, the Kirin 9000. The result is mostly predictable - the new chip is a hair faster in CPU tests and much slower in graphics tasks, and it's also less efficient due to its dated architecture. The CPU uses four TaiShan V120 cores (1x 2.62GHz, 3x 2.15GHz) and four Cortex-A510 (at 1.53GHz), while the transistor size is 7nm. Compare that to the nearly three-year-older 5nm Kirin 9000's four Cortex-A77 (1x 3.13GHz, 3x 2.54GHz), and four Cortex-A55...
