In the past year, I have reviewed the ZTE Axon 30 and two RedMagic gaming phones which are a sub-brand of ZTE. I have been impressed with the company and it reminds me of when Xiaomi and Realme started to make waves in the EU and UK market. Recently there have been several leaks and…

PeakDo Wireless 4K HDMI Docking Station Review – 4K Wireless HDMI transmission with zero latency but no HDR or 4k 60Hz/120Hz

Ubiquiti UniFi U6-Enterprise vs U6-Pro vs U6-LR vs U6-Lite – Ubiquiti announces the cheapest Wi-Fi 6E access point

Ubiquiti were a bit slow to adopt Wi-Fi 6, but they made up for it by launching the superb Unifi Wi-Fi 6 Lite, which at the time was by far the best affordable access point you could buy and still is one the best choices. Ubiquiti have therefore surprised me by being one of the…
