T3 Awards 2017: Best Mid-range Phone

T3 Awards 2017: Best Mid-range Phone


Will OnePlus, Honor, Huawei, Motorola, Samsung or WileyFox take the crown?

The T3 Awards, or the Oscars of Tech, as many call them – are now in their 11th year, and bigger than ever. Literally, in fact, as we have added a number of new categories this year to reflect the changing face of tech, including Best Mid-price Phone. 
Why? Because in 2017 you no longer have to spend mega bucks to get a top class phone – great news! 
All of the smartphones in this category are well designed, have lightning fast performance, and pack premium features, but crucially, all cost less than £500, with some costing way less.

50 Smartphone Blogs to Watch There's quite a collection of good and colorful blogs that track iPhones, Android devices, BlackBerries and other  smartphones  and no shortage of overlapping coverage among them (How many different "scoops" on the  Android-powered Motorola Devour phone did I come across today?). Some are written by professional reporters, others by unapologetic geeks and others by thinly-veiled marketers.

Facebook’s rumored smart speaker would be DOA If Facebook is planning to make a smart speaker, it should really reconsider. A report in  Digitimes  today  says that  Facebook’s Building 8 research group  is developing a smart speaker with a 15-inch touch panel. There are lots of reasons to be skeptical of this:  Digitimes  has a mixed track record on tech rumors; supply chain sources can misidentify projects or describe early tests that don’t make it to market; Facebook doesn’t have a voice assistant yet; and a 15-inch screen on a speaker seems kind of ridiculous. Asked for comment, a Facebook representative said, “We don’t have anything to share at this time.” All that being said, it still seems entirely possible that Facebook would want to get in on the smart speaker game. Facebook doesn’t have a role in the smart home yet, despite having its tendrils in so many other facets of our lives. And even though Amazon has a strong early lead, th...

Where to Move if You Want a Tech Job The San Francisco Bay Area is one of eight major metros accounting for a significant share of America's tech openings, according to new data.  (GETTY IMAGES) Through the first half of 2017, more than a quarter of America's job openings in tech were located in just eight major metropolitan areas, according to new research that also suggests the bulk of the industry's highest-paying jobs are consolidating around just a handful of cities across the country. Jed Kolko, chief economist at employment hub Indeed, on Tuesday unveiled new research digging into tech employment in America. It showed just eight metro areas – those centered around San Jose, California; the District of Columbia; Baltimore; Seattle; Raleigh, North Carolina; San Francisco; Austin, Texas; and Boston – accounted for 27 percent of all tech job postings during the first half of the year. Comparatively, that same group accounted for just 13 percent of al...
