If you take your online security seriously, and you should, I would strongly advise investing in a hardware-based security key for 2-factor authentication. Phone-based authentication is not always perfect and for many, if someone gains access to your Google account, the results can be disastrous. Today, Yubico, the leading provider of hardware authentication security keys,…
It looks like the wearables hall will be buzzing with activity at IFA this year based the rumours and leaks that have been revealed recently. The Misfit Vapor X is the only confirmed watch, and they are owned by the Fossil Group so it should be at the show this year. Most companies will be…

Back when the Samsung Galaxy S10 launched, there was a notable difference between the two chipsets used inside it. The Exynos 9820 was fabricated on the 8nm process while the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 uses a 7nm FinFET. This is one of the possible causes of the Exynos 9820 based S10 having a considerably lower battery…
The Reno 10x Zoom is not even 6 months old, I am still waiting on a review sample, and OPPO has just announced its successor which launches in India for the end of this month. It is a bit of a strange move and will be interesting to see how this plays out in the…
Another day, another Garmin leak. This time from serial leaker Roland Quandt who is generally regarded as very reliable. This leak backs previous information the Vivoactive 4 will arrive at IFA.

Launching a brand new SmartOS direct to mobile phones isn’t the best idea, it didn’t play out too well for Samsung Tizen, or even Microsoft. Some would say there is no room for a new smartphone OS, but in the case of Huawei, they need an alternative solution in case President Trump spits his dummy…
Huawei doesn’t do things in halves, and the announcement of the new HarmonyOS (or HongMeng depending where you live), is impressive, to say the least. Originally it was believed that the Huawei OS would be a fork of Android, but this is the first microkernel-based distributed OS for all scenarios and is more closely related…
