Chinese manufacturer OPPO has introduced their official ROM based on stock Android for the OPPO R7, so if you were after a good reason to pick one up, you now have one.
‘Project Spectrum’ is the name given to OPPO’s heavily stripped back ROM which takes on a stock look and feel, whilst retaining a number of handy features popular on OPPO handsets. First released on the OPPO Find 7, and more recently the OPPO R5 series, the latest Project Spectrum release with the OPPO R7g — the international variant available in Australia — marks OPPO’s first take on Android M, making features like Doze, Now on Tap, app permissions and more available to the R7; as well as ...

At long last, HTC’s latest entrant to the flagship market has been announced, and in dropping the ‘One’ branding, the HTC 10 marks a step on the right path the Taiwanese manufacturer has needed for some time.
HTC 10 is more than a handset which harks back design-wise in some ways to the original HTC One (M7) of 2013 and the HTC One A9 released last year, it’s more refined, serving up a generous chamfer of its metal unibody all around its back edges, as well as 2.5D glass with around the front, which rolls into the edges of the handset. Most noticeable up front is the removal of the black bar and HTC branding that sat beneath the display ...

With new smartphones releasing each year, Optus is now jumping on the bandwagon to offer customers 12 month upgrades, and the telco’s latest plans do away with cancellation fees.
Optus’ latest generation of My Plan Plus plans will come standard with the ability to take advantage of the ‘New Phone Trade Up’ program — as Optus calls it — which will enable customers to upgrade their handset 12 months into their 24 month plan to a new 24 month plan with the latest handset for $99. This program works similar to Telstra’s New Phone Feeling plans whereby customers are able to upgrade to a new 24 month plan when 12 months into their current plan for $149.

It’s not entirely uncommon nowadays for OEMs to offer a couple of flagship handsets to cater to the needs of different users, and Sony has kept with this mantra for a few years now, offering a smaller counterpart in its Z series Compact models, accompanying the taller Z series handsets. Now, Sony is catering to those who want a larger handset, with its main selling point being that it’s the first smartphone with a 4K Ultra HD display.

OPPO Australia has recently introduced its newest value-packed handset, the OPPO F1 to Optus and it’s a stand out for the price.
Priced at $199, Optus’ silver OPPO F1 is almost the same cost as entry-level spec models the telco offers in the likes of the Samsung Galaxy J1 and HTC Desire 520. The OPPO F1 by comparison packs a Snapdragon 616 octa-core chip, a massive 3GB RAM, a 5-inch 720p IPS display with Gorilla Glass 4, and a sizeable 2500mAh battery to power it all. There’s also a rear 13MP camera with f/2.2 aperture, phase detection autofocus and OPPO’s Pure Image software suite, as well as a front 8MP setup with f/2.0.
Worth noting however is unlike the completely ...

The line separating what is a manageable form factor for most, and clear phablet territory for those after greater screen real estate, could not be better exemplified than in the original two mid-range offerings from OPPO, the R7 and R7 Plus; but with the OPPO R7s there’s a happy medium that might just be for the better.
We’ve spent time with the OPPO R7 and its far bigger sibling, the R7 Plus and now the newest entrant to OPPO’s R7 series, the R7s offers a 5.5-inch panel for those torn between a relatively compact 5-inch display or going all out with a 6-inch phablet. As we found though, it’s with time that OPPO has been able to build upon a ...

Sony had a few announcements to share at MWC earlier today, including three new handsets dubbed Xperia X, XA and X Performance.
Xperia X series is the first line of handsets from Sony in 2016 and it’s clear Sony is hoping to make an impression, with a move at long last to a metal rear panel, from glass or plastic on just about every Xperia before it. All three handsets are fundamentally quite similar in size and build, and each have 5-inch displays, but the similarities pretty much end there.
To start, the Xperia X offers up a 5-inch 1080p IPS panel producing 441 ppi, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 chip with Adreno 510 graphics, a fingerprint reader which resides on ...

In what’s almost an entirely new direction for the South Korean OEM, the LG G5 will be the first modular handset to launch to the masses.
Attempts by Motorola with Project Ara — later taken on by Google — may still be a work in progress, but LG has today revealed they’ve got Google beat to the punch. Okay, so the LG G5 isn’t exactly an entirely modular phone like Project Ara intends, but it’s certainly the first that’ll allow users to swap out components for enhanced ones.
To understand how it all works though, first we have to talk about the design changes and in a first for the flagship G series, the LG G5 has a metal unibody ...

It’s that time of the year again folks, and in what is surely a small Christmas for some, Samsung has today made the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge official, and quite a bit has changed.
To start things off, no longer is the Galaxy S7 edge essentially the curved variant of the Galaxy S7, instead it’s now in its own league at the 5.5-inch display mark — the tail-end between the S7’s 5.1-inch screen and the current S6 edge+ and Note 5’s 5.7-inch panels. That means in terms of measurements that obviously the S7 edge is taller than the S7 at 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7mm weighing 157g versus 142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9mm at 152g, but as you see, ...

Ever making its efforts to improve its image with the enhancement of its network, Vodafone will work on 12 regional sites for the Government’s Mobile Black Spot Programme.
For the first round rollout, Vodafone plans to have its 12 sites up and running by July 2016. While Vodafone’s selection of sites doesn’t hold a candle to the total 66 being worked on by Telstra, a total $20 million investment by Vodafone is a solid effort no less, and coverage in more places is always welcome news.
Vodafone has bid successfully for 70 sites throughout Australia for the programme, so there’s a whole lot more to come in future, with the second wave locations for rollout to be announced by year’s ...
