With the dominance of Alexa and Google Assistant, Samsung SmartThings seems to have fallen on the wayside past couple of years. During Smart Home Week the SmartThings indicated they would be making a new push to promote the product and one of the reasons why it had not been more aggressively pushed was them waiting it out…
You may have not heard of Cello but they are a UK based manufacturer of affordable TVs. Today they announced a new range of TVs built around the QLED similar to what you find on expensive Samsung models. With the 55” model retailing from just £799, this first model in a new QLED range will likely be very…
We have seen a lot of new phones released so far this year, but this week we saw possibly the two most important releases in my opinion. The Honor 10 and OnePlus 6 we launched over 2 days this week, neither phone has a huge selling point hardware wise. There is no 40MP camera or…
We saw 3 phones officially launched at MWC that are powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 system on chip. This chip is the latest high-end SoC from Qualcomm and will be the chip powering most of this year’s flagships. With the Snapdragon handling the vast majority of the functions, it is interesting to see…
Mobile World Congress 2018 is just a week away, and we will undoubtedly see multiple phones announced with the next generation of system on chips (SoC). The Snapdragon 845 is likely to be used in the next flagship phone which is due to be announced at the Nokia event on the 29th. Historically Samsung has…
During my event with Qualcomm, they were obviously keen to talk about their latest and greatest product, the Snapdragon 845. For several years not the 800 series of chips have been used in the vast majority of the flagship Android phones you can buy. The only real exceptions are Samsung Exynos used in the European…
CES 2018 is upon us, and one of the leading attractions will be all the new fancy TV tech. For years we have waited for organic-LED to go into mass production, and thanks to LG that has now become a reality. It has been claimed by many that OLED is the ultimate screen panel technology…
Ok, so I am a bit late to the game with this review, but there is a reason for that. After my Nexus 6P died I needed a new phone that was both premium and affordable. While the Samsung Galaxy S8 was extremely tempting, I just can’t justify spending close to £700 on a phone….
Smart Homes have been in the news a lot recently; we have Smart thermostats, smoke alarms, and lighting. Smart home technology has crept its way into the kitchen too, I even reviewed the excellent Samsung WW9000 washing back in 2014 and I saw a prototype of the Haier smart fridge back in 2013. However, since…
Here’s a confession upfront: I’m a total dork for Marvel, movies, and for Marvel movies. I’d also, in spite of all my years of fandom, never made it to a premiere before, and so when the opportunity arose to attend the European unveiling of Age of Ultron, you can imagine… it was kind of a…
It could be argued that now is not the best time to buy a TV, but I needed one and my requirments were relatively simple, I wanted a large 55″+ TV for less than £1k. Ideally I wanted 60″ or 4k but these too requirements appear to be unreasonably based on my budget. After researching…
