The new review style has three components: first, the hi-resolution macro image of the unit under scrutiny; second, a 1-5 rating scale for a particular feature like voice call quality, messaging, wireless browsing, and camera functions; and third, a short commentary explaining why the rating was given for a particular feature.
The picture review ends with an overall rating and verdict.
I must say it again - execution is key. Infosyncworld's review style has become more informative than ever, because they (the editors) are able "to show" a product in its very miniscule details while also providing some insight on the key features.
I might add this review style addresses all types of learners: the commentaries are short and conscise for those who are more visual. There are are numerical ratings for those who just want to get an overall feel of how the device performs, and lastly, there is a verdict for those who would rather see the bottom line.
I like this. It maximizes the advantages of online media, providing content that caters to a wide spectrum of people.
