The latest technology news from around the world
Synthetic benchmarks are not the best indicator of true to life performance at the best of times. MediaTek is the latest company to fall foul of the rules by coding a sports mode into the firmware files that assign a boost to the phone’s performance when it detects many popular benchmarks. They are not the…
We are now living in some sort of bizarro world. Not only does it feel like the apocalypse every time we read the news, and 2020 now sees Apple become an affordable brand, while Android devices reach a new level of crazy expensive. The iPhone SE 2 or iPhone 9 as leakers called it is…
The Hisilicon Kirin 985 has been leaked multiple times now with the most recent claiming it will be on the Honor 30. This ended up trying and the standard Honor 30 is the first phone to feature it. I have already covered how it compared to the Kirin 820 sitting below it, and the Kirin…
Thermaltake don’t just make cases and CPU coolers, they have been making desktop memory for a while now, and in typical Thermaltake fashion, they do things a little more elaborately than the rest. The Toughram range sits in their mainstream range of memory, though it looks anything but mainstream with the huge heavy heatsinks. You…
Today Honor took the wraps off their latest flagship phone. Like many others, they have switched from launching two variants to now having three with a Plus model. I wonder how many variants we will have in a few years from now. With Honor being an offshoot from Huawei there was always going to be…
Recently, as part of my Huawei P40 Pro, I did a performance analysis of the Kirin 990 5G and how it compared to the previous generation chipsets. Now I have the Realme X50 Pro I can compare two of this year’s flagship chipsets as well as comparing how the Realme X50 Pro compares to its…
With the launch of the OnePlus 8 series we now have another great affordable option for a flagship phone this year. While there are quite a few phones officially launched that are affordable very few have been announced for the UK yet. I have included the Xiaomi Mi 10 in this comparison because it has…
The OnePlus 8 Pro won’t launch until 4 PM today via livestream, but at this point, it seems pointless watching it. After weeks of the usual leaks, overly eager John Lewis has listed the phone early. The prices are actually much better than expected with a £50 and £100 price hike from the previous generation….
I have had the Huawei P40 Pro for a while now; previously I said it was not possible to get Google Apps on there and I did a detailed guide of what things work and what does not. Several people have now got Google working via the previous LZ Play method, but it is a…
I have previously reviewed the AlcoSense Ultra and AlcoSense Pro, both of which are superb highly accurate breathalysers but with a price tag of £250 and £150 they a bit beyond the means of your average user. The Alcosense Elite 3 is the latest model from the company and one of their most affordable options…
With April getting very warm, and all of us in lockdown, many of us will be trying to make life a little more enjoyable by having a BBQ. With so much time on our hands, it is well worth trying out smoking and other more advanced forms of cooking than just burgers and sausages. BBQ…
[Update] I now have Google Play Store and mobile services working – it is not an easy process, but it works well and makes a huge difference Huawei’s first flagship phone of 2020 has landed, the P-series always sets the bar for camera performance throughout the year with few devices coming close. Last year we…
