I will keep this post relatively short as it is only a hands-on, and several other sites published similar content at the end of September. Honor will be launching their latest phone, the Honor 50, on the 27th of October. This phone was released in China back in June, so most of the details about…

Infinix Announces Note 11 & Note 11 Pro with Mediatek Helio G96 – 4 months after Note 10 launch

Affordable brand Infinix has announced its latest phone, the Note 11 series. The two phones launching came just 4-months after the Note 10 series launch, and it is unlikely the western market will see them. As you would imagine, there is not much that has improved in four months but there a handful of notable…

EVICIV Raspberry Pi Monitor Review – A 7-inch 1024×600 touchscreen monitor for the Raspberry Pi 4, 3 and more

I have been a fan of the Raspberry Pi for years now, originally building a cheap Kodi media player and later using it for low powered server functionality and a dedicated Pi-Hole DNS adblocker.

Honor Laptops & Smartwatches get discounted to cheaper than Amazon via the Honor Store

Today, Honor start two weeks worth of deals until 25th October slashing its prices on some of its most popular products.

Netgear Orbi Pro Mini SXR30 Review – Affordable business WiFi 6 Dual-Band AX1800 mesh system

I previously reviewed the superb but extremely expensive Netgear Orbi Pro SXK80, which basically took the flagship consumer Orbi RBK852 hardware and upgraded it with Netgear Insight cloud management. Netgear has now released the smaller SXK30 system which is considerably more affordable, making it appealing for small businesses. Similar to the larger model, the SXK30…

Curve Metal vs Monzo Premium vs Revolut Metal Compared – Does Curve Metal compete with other fintech packaged bank accounts?

Following on from my Curve vs Nationwide post, I have been looking at how the Curve Metal service compares with the Mono Premium and Revolut Metal bank accounts.

ADO A20 Ebike Review: Ditch the electric scooter and get this affordable folding electric bike

I have previously reviewed the Volt Connect Electric Bike about four years ago. At the time, I was quite sceptical of the benefits of eBikes, but I did like the idea of using it for commuting. Since then, electric scooters have become the rage, some people love them, some people hate them. I loved using…
