Huawei Mobile Services gets mapping boost thanks to TomTom giving them competitive data to Google Maps

ByJames Smythe

When the issues with the trade ban on Huawei started in May last year, just before the Honor 20 Pro launch, I never thought they would have lasted until 2020. Clearly I underestimated both President Trump and his bullying tactics and China’s stubbornness. So here we are in 2020, Huawei still has no access to…

Crave PowerPack 2 50000 mAh power bank with 60W power delivery Review – An absolute unit making this a fantastic but niche powerbank

ByJames Smythe

I haven’t done many powerbank reviews recently, because once you do one, all the others are the same. I can’t think of any that have been bad, so as long as it meets your specs and is well priced, you should be fine. 20,000 mAh battery packs are ubiquitous, and it is my goto size…

I have reviewed two of them before with the Eufy RoboVac 11 and then the Eufy RoboVac 11s, functionally they were both the same but the S model slim lined the robotic vacuum and improved its vacuuming abilities. Neither were app controlled. The…
