The latest technology news from around the world
The Asus Zenfone series has generally been superb but not very well marketed. The Asus ZenFone 6 launched too late in the year with almost no marketing behind it (that I was aware of), and I am not sure if ZenFone 7 saw an official UK launch. This year, Asus has launched two variants, the…
Realme are always a safe bet if you are on the lookout for an affordable phone. They always offer a fantastic specification for the money. Following the launch of the superb Realme 8 Pro with its flagship-like 108MP primary camera, the more affordable Realme 8 5G has finally become available in the UK. Price and…

I have previously written a post on upgrading my Helium Hotspot with the MikroTik LoRa 6.5dBi Omni Antenna. When it comes to Helium antennas, a 5.8dBi variant can be an interesting option to explore. Generally speaking, the ‘dBi’ rating indicates the antenna’s gain—essentially, how well the antenna can focus energy in a particular direction. A…

The Yale Linus Smart Lock has been my favourite smart lock I reviewed so far, and it is the first lock I have committed to on my main front door (though I use the Ultion Smart Lock on the back door). While all the smart locks I have reviewed have been good (including the Connexis…
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has been rumoured for a while now. First, it was being launched, then it was cancelled, now it is definitely being launched. It feels like this is going to cause a huge backlash from the gamer community and at this point I don’t think Nvidia really gives a damn….
Xiaomi is launching its powerful flagship Mi 11 Ultra as well as the lightweight and stylish Mi 11 Lite 5G smartphones in the UK following the global launch in March. Like previous Xiaomi releases, the device has been available via grey import for a while now but UK pricing is now confirmed. The Xiaomi Mi…

I have been a fan of Wi-Fi connected smart scales for years; it was an essential tool in my weight loss journey and continues to be useful for weight management. I originally bought on the Withings Body, then Nokia, but last year reviewed the flagship Withings Body Cardio scale. The scale takes things up a…

Helium FreedomFi 5G Gateway Similar to the LoRaWAN Helium Hotspots, users will be…
