The Sony Xperia 5 V was launched in September 2023 and is one of the few high-spec Android phones on the market. With a 6.1-inch 21:9 OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, versatile triple camera system, and large 5000mAh battery, the Xperia 5 V aims to deliver a premium Android experience for those who…
I have previously reviewed the excellent Arlo Essential and Essential XL outdoor wireless security cameras. Arlo has now released a second generation of its Essential range with four new products, including a second-generation version of the two Essential outdoor cameras, a 2K Essential Video Doorbell, and an Essential indoor camera. The Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera…
This is a quick review of the Syncwire MagSafe ring plate adaptor, which sticks to the back of any phone or case to replicate the MagSafe functionality on iPhones. I have always liked the idea of MagSafe. It is a simple but logical and very useful feature that makes wireless charging a bit easier and…
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1 is a premium MagSafe charging stand designed for iPhone 12 and later models. It offers 15W fast charging, an adjustable viewing angle, and a sleek, modern design. However, at £110, is the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1 worth the investment, and how does it compare with other options on the market?…
The Sony Inzone Buds are a relatively new pair of TWS earbuds from Sony. They are more of a niche product than the Sony Linkbud S that I previously reviewed, as they are designed specifically for gaming. They offer a range of features aimed at enhancing the gaming experience, including low latency audio via a…

Popular among gamers, I don’t think there is a product that can…
I have reviewed a few health tech products that aim to improve well-being, including the popular Sensate relaxation device.

The Canyon BTHS-3 Bluetooth headphones are the most affordable headphones I have reviewed in years, if not ever. Due to the low price, I had low expectations for these headphones, but I was pleasantly surprised by the performance. Specification Design The headphones are basic, with options for black and beige. They have an OK build…
With this being a blog dedicated to consumer technology, it is a bit odd that I am reviewing a bed frame. However, I am passionate about health and fitness and write a lot of content in relation to these, it is not always strictly technology but things like sleep and diet are an essential part…
I have previously reviewed the excellent XGIMI Halo+ portable projector and many other portable options from the likes of BenQ and Anker Nebula. For larger projectors, my experience has been somewhat limited to cheap Chinese brands like Yaber. The best larger projector I have reviewed to date is the Acer H6543BDK, which is an excellent…
I have previously reviewed the Tozo Golden X1 Earbuds and Tozo OpenBuds and have been impressed with both products. The Tozo Tonal Dots T12 isn’t a new product; it appears to have been launched or refreshed back in 2022. It received favourable reviews online, with most critics praising the sound quality for such affordable earbuds….
The Xiaomi Watch S3 is the latest affordable smartwatch from the Chinese tech giant. It offers an impressive set of features at a very competitive price point. With a sleek design, long battery life, and support for popular fitness platforms like Strava, this watch aims to be the perfect companion for fitness enthusiasts on a…
