Realme X50m 5G vs X50 vs X50 Pro – The same as the X50 but with downgraded cameras and a lower price point – no word on UK or EU availability

Realme appears to be following Xiaomi’s footsteps by launching lots of phones at slightly different price points. The Realme X50m is their latest phone which main selling point is how cheap it is. With a launch price of  CNY1,999 (£229/$280/€260) this must be the most affordable 5G phone on the market. There is no word…

GeoSmartPro AirGo Smart Fan Review – App controlled fan awarded a quiet mark rating that isn’t very quiet.

You can get pretty much anything app-controlled nowadays; there is even an Alexa controlled microwave.  So it is no surprise there is an app-controlled pedestal fan if anything I was surprised at the lack of competing options.

Motorola Edge+ vs Samsung S20 Ultra vs Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro Compared – Which is the best 108MP camera phone? And why the hell is only one of them available in the UK?

Motorola hasn’t made a true flagship for a few years, and things have looked a little bleak for the company with just a 3% global smartphone share in Q1, 2019.

Volutz Equilibrium USB-C & Apple MFi Certified Lightning Cable – ArmorCord vs Equilibrium

I don’t normally bother with cable reviews as there is little to write about them and they are quite boring. Volutz are a little different though, they make some big claims. Their range of braided cables which are available in USB-C, microUSB and Apple MFi Certified Lightning Cable are all tested for over 50,000 worth…

Zyxel Nebula WAX650S Wi-Fi 6 PoE Access Point Review – Cloud-managed 3550Mbps access point with multi-gig ethernet

I have reviewed quite a few consumer-orientated Wi-Fi 6 devices now, but the commercial side of the market seems to be lagging behind as brands were reluctant to release commercial-grade equipment until the Wi-Fi Alliance finalised the standard. One of the first products to market also happens to be one of the cheapest, the EnGenius…

I have had a laptop screen crack while walking to a meeting in the past, which was both extremely inconvenient and very expensive. The STM 28L Myth…

Famisafe Parental Control App Review – Monitor your child’s location, block web content and identify bullying, sexting or other harmful content

Back when I was a kid, mobiles were not a thing, heck, the Internet was barely a thing. Nowadays children of all ages are carrying around iPhones or the Android equivalent, and it is scary how much access they have to information. The Internet, in particular social media, can be a very toxic place, digital…
