There can be. A review is suppose to tell you how good a phone is. GSM Arena reviews don't do that. Nothing they ever mention in their review that I already didn't know. The only good thing about their reviews is the audio quality test. Just 1 page out of x number of pages of an Anandtech review gives me more information on a phone than 10 pages of a GSM Arena review. Their Windows Phone 8 review was an absolute joke after which I've stopped taking anything they write seriously.

lol you clearly dont read GSMArena reviews and have some unreasonable agenda against them, they tell you everything you need to know about the phone and dont force their personal opinion on the reader like most other reviews do.

100 pages of anandtech review will only have 1 page of relevant information for a consumer, their reviews seem like meant for devs lol.

Anandtech reviews are good but I like gsmarena reviews more. Anand do few flagships phones only. on the other hand gsmarena team review almost every lower,mid and high range phone. in my opinion their reviews are detailed, comprehensive and complete, they cover each and every thing in a phone. i specially like their audio, display & camera tests.

when ever i want to confirm something i read gsmarena reviews an answers of my questions are always there :) and I always found them accurate whenever i bought a phone. I do read reviews from others too but most of them seriously lack the details and various tests. recently i was reading a review on verge and Engadget imo I found them most stupid reviews on net. Literally i felt these guys don't even know which things to cover in a review.

I read somewhere few guys from gsmarena team have xperia z, iphone, galaxy s and htc one and obviously every of one them have different taste :)

Absolutely correct. GSMArena is the most respected review site on the internet from what I have seen. Yahan a few individuals seem to have problems with them for no reason.

Chalo bias to koi bhi hosakta hai but calling GSMArena reviews as basic and lacking detail is honestly a big facepalm worthy comment. And yes I agree engadget and verge reviews are the very definition of basic reviews. These sites are very good for keeping up with news but not reviews. The verge commenting community is pretty good and thats the only reason I go to the verge.

When you take pictures in Weddings, parties, indside the home.... that is low light condition. Thats 90% of our pictures and that is USUAL. We donot take pictures of empty space in broad daylight.

The more the megapixels the lesser the camera results for the 90% pictures we take. The camera of Xperia Z and Galaxy S4 are not even in the Top 10 list where Overall HTC one is number 2 to Lumia 920 (current gen smartphones) .

Here's the preview from the Tech Guru himself.

Just realised that on iOS you cannot share multiple pics on whatsapp in one go. Whereas on android you can share multiple ALBUMS in just a click. Some of the limitations of iOS are just simply unbelievable, I think iOS is the smartphone for the dumb. :tv::tv:

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
