iPhone SE vs 6S: Which should you buy?
Classifying the iPhone SE is proving more difficult than we might have imagined. It’s Apple’s entry level iPhone option, but pricing is mid-pack in North America, and some of the tech on tap is top tier. While the design is a recycle from the iPhone 5S, the SE represents one of the more exciting moves from Apple of late. Instead of relying on older phones to fill in price gaps in the iPhone line up, this phone was purpose built to offer a less expensive, but still premium solution to price conscious shoppers. It ...

Nexus 5X vs Nexus 5: the Xtra is worth the upgrade (video)
When talking about phones that carry the Nexus name, we typically consider them to be iterative updates of one another – each building on the success of the one that came before. Google decided to change things up a bit last year by releasing the Nexus 6: a phablet – not a phone. Thankfully, this year Google returned the Nexus to its roots by releasing the Nexus 5X. How does it stack up against the original Nexus 5 from two years back? Let’s dive right in!Nexus 5X vs Nexus 5To begin with, both the original Nexus 5 ...

AMOLED vs IPS: which is better?
When looking at smartphones and tablets, we often obsess over cores and gigs and screen sizes. While all those are important to weigh when evaluating a device, the component we see the most – that we interact with the most – is the screen. When talking about computers in days gone by, the fight was between LCD (liquid crystal display) and CRT (cathode ray tube) – with CRT eventually becoming all but a footnote in the annals of history. Today, the battle is between LCD and LED (light emitting diode) – more specifically between IPS and AMOLED.IPS LCD

HTC Desire EYE vs HTC One E8 (Video)
It might be a bit unfair to compare the aluminum unibodied HTC One M8 to virtually anything else not made of the sleek metal, but how can you possibly compare the four Ultra Pixel camera on the M8 to a smartphone sporting a 13MP shooter? Thankfully, HTC makes another variant of its popular One, the HTC One E8.As a refresher, the HTC One E8 includes most of the same specifications as its aluminum-clad big-brother, the One M8. Unlike the M8, the E8 opts for polycarbonate rather than aluminum, and includes a 13MP main camera. Both of these features make the One E8 a much better platform ...

DROID Turbo vs Nexus 6: which oversized Android is right for you?
Based on how 2014 is stacking up, I think it’s safe to say this year will be remembered as the year of the phablet. We saw Apple’s mammoth iPhone 6 Plus, Samsung released its Note 4, Google is set to begin taking pre-orders for the Nexus 6, and others like OnePlus and ZTE even threw their hats in the ring. Now Motorola has thrown another big phone into the race, and it’s being called the DROID Turbo. Interestingly

Android L vs Android KitKat (Video)
Google recently released a Developer Preview of its latest version of Android: Android L. Though it’s not final code by any stretch of the imagination, we wanted to see how it compares to Android 4.4.4 KitKat – the latest official release of the operating system.We headed over to Google’s “L Developer Preview” page, downloaded, and installed Android L build LPV79 to our Nexus 5 (there is also a build for the 2013 Nexus 7, though only ...

HTC Desire 816 vs HTC One mini 2 (video)
HTC makes some great high-end devices, and we gave the One M8 one of the highest scores that we’ve ever given a device. But that’s a “flagship” phone, what about the mid-tier? Luckily HTC has you covered there as well, in more ways that one!When diving to the middle, HTC had a couple ways it could go to keep the price of the device down. One option was to make the device smaller, the other was to drop the specifications – or both. We’ve already told you

HTC Desire 816 versus HTC One M8 (video)
Comparing a mid-level smartphone to a high-end smartphone isn’t exactly what you’d call “playing fair” — then again, it’s not supposed to be. Here’s how the HTC Desire 816 stacks up against the HTC One M8. Both devices run Android Kitkat 4.4.2 with Sense UI 6, although certain features found on the One M8 are missing in the Desire 816. Tap-to-wake is missing on the 816, as are ...
