Vernee Apollo review

Vernee Apollo review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Vernee Apollo is a MediaTek flagship, which isn’t quite what we expect from Qualcomm Snapdragon flagships, but a very decent phone nonetheless. It’s pretty powerful, with a nice screen, a great camera and a relatively untouched Android OS. At less than £250, you can’t argue with its value. We’ve been saying VR (virtual reality) is the next big thing for over a year now, but 2017 really will be the year VR comes to phones....

Meizu MX6 review

Meizu MX6 review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Meizu MX6 is a nicely designed phone, but compared to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and Elephone S7 it is expensive and underpowered. The MX6 still has a great deal to offer at around £250, but we’re not keen on Flyme OS or mTouch, and the MX6’s camera isn’t the best example we’ve seen. First impressions of theMX6 from Meizuare good.
