A lot of Apple fans mock Android manufacturers for copying the notch design, but this trend isn’t exclusive to Apple.

A new leaked roadmap report from Wccftech shows us the timeline for the AMD Navi based GPUs and it is not great for PC gamers. A few days ago we saw the release of Nvidia’s latest and greatest GPUs the GTX 2080 and 2080 ti, these new cards implemented a new feature not found in consumer…
TVs have a significant presence at IFA providing a welcome variety compared to the mobile focussed MWC. After years of waiting for OLED to go mainstream this year finally appears to be the one where we have achieved it. Not only are OLED displays readily available from multiple companies, but the prices are dropping quickly….
There has been some speculation that the new range of Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards cannot perform quite as well as you would hope for a new generation of GPU. The concern was highlighted during a Tomb Raider demo at Gamescom where the ray tracing enabled game could barely manage 30 to 60 frames per second at Full…
I previously compared the three flagship system on chips from Huawei, Qualcomm and Samsung against each other and at the time, on paper, the Kirin 970 was fractionally behind the other 2 SoCs, which was due to the Kirin 970 being announced 6 months prior. Now the tables have turned and the HiSilicon Kirin 980 is the newest chip…
With my time over at IFA for 2018, I have selected my favourite products of the year in no particular order. There were a lot of highlights this year, and I may do another post to point out honourable mentions. One trend that was obvious during MWC 2018 earlier in the year was it all…

It may come as no surprise that Huawei has developed their own smart speaker, named the AI Cube, however they have at least added some unique features not found on any other device in this niche. The new AI Cube has a 4G LTE Cat 6 300Mbps router built into it meaning that it can…
Similar to last years IFA Huawei have announced their new flagship system on chip that will be available on the new Mate 20 phones that should launch a month from now. The Kirin 980 brings some impressive improvements from the previous 970, and during our briefing, some exciting comparisons were made between the Kirin 980…
Huawei has decided to release the Lite version of their new Mate 20 phone before the main phones this year teasing us about the possible design and specification of the new flagship. The new wallet-friendly phone comes with many high-end features with its dual front camera system being particularly appealing to the selfie generation. The…
I have high hopes that Casio will release a Wear OS based smartwatch that will eat at the market share of the multi-sports watch industry dominated by Garmin. The announcement of the WSD-F30 PRO TREK isn’t quite that watch but it is a step in the right direction and based on the specification something was would still…
IFA starts next week and we will likely see some amazing new consumer technology. There are several big events being held with Sony and Samsung having something scheduled on 30th August and Huawei on the 31st. The Huawei event will almost certainly be the announcement of the new Kirin 980 SoC which will be the processor behind…
