The latest technology news from around the world
I love Netgear, I love Mesh Wi-Fi, and I love Wi-Fi 6. So I have been quite excited about the new RBK852 WiFi 6 Tri-band Mesh System from Netgear, however, you should expect some sticker shock. If you thought WiFi 6 routers were expensive then the RBK852 is going to make your toes curl. Early…
If the £999 Fenix 6X Solar is too rich for your blood, and all you want is an affordable fitness tracker to keep track of your steps and basic fitness goals, then the £29.99 HONOR Band is hard to fault. HONOR today unveiled the HONOR Band 5, a stylish and practical accessory for those looking…
Today, Netatmo expand their smart home product line up to include a new Smart Alarm System with Camera. The system is sold in three parts allowing you to set it up and expand it as you need.

Following on from the Garmin Venu announcement, I can (and will) copy and paste the details of the Vivoactive 4. Functionally the two watches are almost identical, however, Garmin has used the Venu name to launch its first watch with AMOLED. This seems like a sensible move to me, allowing them to try out AMOLED…
It has been rumoured for quite a while that Garmin will launch an AMOLED based device. Some people thought the Fenix 6 or Vivoactive 4 may get it, but Garmin did something more sensible, and create a new range. For all intents and purposes, the new Garmin watch is the same as the just announced…
All those leaks I wasn’t too sure about, were pretty much accurate. Today Garmin launched a new watch to their line-up, the Garmin Venu.

With IFA just starting, the Mate 30 series launching on the 19th of September, and the iPhone on the 10th of September, it is a busy month for tech. Xiaomi wants to get in on some of the action, and they are planning to launch their Mi Mix 4 on the 24th. Apparently the phone…
Windows on Arm has been slow to take off, Windows doesn’t naturally play nice with Arm microarchitecture, so things have to be rewritten or emulated. I reviewed the HP Envy X2 back in 2018 and generally had mixed feelings towards it. The always-on always-connected feature was a revelation, the battery life was phenomenal, and it…
Huawei is doing a good job of acting like there are not political issues affecting the company. They are out in full force as usual for IFA 2019, where will be finding out about their latest flagship system on a chip, the Kirin 990. Chipsets announcements are not always the most exciting, so they have some…
In a few days, Huawei will announce the new HiSilicon Kirin 990 chipset which will power all the flagship phones from Huawei and Honor for the next year. This will then be followed by the Huawei Mate 30 Series, which will this year, launch in Munich on the 19th of September, a little earlier than last…
