by James Smythe | Sep 30, 2020 | News, Phones & Mobile | 0

This is 100% speculation made by myself based on launches in the next few days and current phones available in other regions. MediaTek has officially announced that the Dimensity 800 will be coming to Europe with a launch planned this week.

We can't confirm exact timeframes and partners at this stage, but you can expect to see announcements in the coming days and weeks. I would...

Serial leaker TUP APISAK has shown off some AoTS benchmarks of the up and coming AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with the results compared against an equivalently specced Intel Core i9-10900K. If you nosey around the benchmark database you can also find similar spec setups against other chipsets, so I have also included the While the benchmarks appear to be genuine, one benchmark of a new CPU doesn’t necessarily give us an accurate picture of the overall performance. However, it is very promising and certainly enough to whet our appetite. AMD Ryzen 7 5800X vs Ryzen 7 3800X AMD Ryzen 7...

by James Smythe | Sep 29, 2020 | Networking, Reviews | 0

It has been over 5-years since I reviewed a DECT phone, even then it was a technology that felt very out of date. With the prevalence of cheap smartphones and affordable mobile contracts, there is little need for the home user to have a landline nowadays. However, they are still important for most businesses, and a DECT phone is useful for work from home solutions or shops and the hospitality sector where you are not tied down to a desk. Also, pre-empting inevitable questions. The FRITZ!Fon C6 needs to be paired with a FRITZ!Box router, a quick glance at...

by James Smythe | Sep 28, 2020 | Fitness, Reviews, Wearables | 0

Huami owned Amazfit has been a popular option in recent years, now Huami has launched two new watches under the sub-brand Zepp E. The Zepp E brand appears to a more style-focused brand that will exist side by side with Amazfit. The two watches are essentially the same, but one is circular and the other square. The Zepp E Circle is a particularly attractive watch with little on the market that I am aware of that offers a similar aesthetic. Sadly, I was not sent that one, instead, I have been using the Square model, which is beautiful but...

Due to the issues faced with Covid, the annual Amazon Prime Day(s) was not run on the usual date in April this year.
