Updated: 14/12/2025

OPPO’s latest offerings, the Pad SE tablet and Enco Buds3 true wireless earbuds, bring high-end features to budget-conscious buyers. Priced at $399 and $99 respectively, these devices deliver robust performance, seamless connectivity, and thoughtful design for everyday use. We gave them a whirl to discover their strengths, and spot any areas for improvement so you can be informed for your next tech purchase. OPPO Pad SE: Versatile and Accessible The OPPO Pad SE is a standout for entertainment and light productivity. Its 11-inch LCD display, boasting 500 nits brightness and a 90Hz refresh rate, delivers vibrant, fluid visuals ideal for streaming or browsing. 26 The eye-care certification reduces blue light, ensuring comfort during extended use. At 530g and 7.4mm thick, its metal build feels premium and portable. 25 Powered by a MediaTek Helio G100 chip with 4GB RAM, it handles multitasking (think YouTube, emails, and casual gaming) without stuttering. 27 The 9340mAh battery lasts over 23 hours of web use, with 33W SUPERVOOC charging for quick top-ups. 28 Integration with Google’s Gemini AI enables smart features like real-time translation and note organisation, while O+ Connect ensures effortless file sharing and screen mirroring with OPPO phones. A dedicated Kids Mode makes it a safe choice for family use if that’s a concern in your wheelhouse. On the downside, the FHD resolution isn’t as sharp as 2K displays, and the absence of stylus support limits creative applications. Still, for its price, it’s a compelling option for casual users or students. OPPO Enco Buds3: Immersive Audio on a… Read More

We are officially converted to flip phones. And no you haven’t gone back in time, this is still 2024. The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra is a modern marvel that seamlessly blends nostalgia with cutting-edge technology. As someone who spends a significant amount of time gaming and streaming on my phone, finding a device that can keep up with my demands has been a challenge—until now. The Razr 50 Ultra has quickly become my go-to device, not just for its stunning looks, but for its unmatched performance. Here’s why this phone is an absolute game-changer for anyone who lives on the go. A Display That Wows The first thing that grabbed my attention was the expansive 6.9″ pOLED display. This isn’t just a screen—it’s an experience. With ultra-vibrant colors and deep blacks, everything from the latest Netflix series to my favorite mobile games looks incredible. But what really makes this display stand out is the 165Hz refresh rate. I’ve used a lot of phones, but none have delivered this level of smoothness. Whether I’m swiping through social media or diving into an intense battle in a game (yes I’m a shameless mobile gamer and trust me this is THE phone to play on), the fluidity is next-level. There’s even a game mode that’s automatically detected when you open your game! It’s like the phone knows what I want to do before I do it, making every interaction feel effortless and seamless.
