The Xiaomi Redmi K40 series has recently launched, and the Realme GT 5G launches next week. While the Redmi won’t see a UK launch, it will hopefully it will be launched at a later date as the Poco F3. So how do these two new affordable phones compare with the existing Xiaomi Mi 11. Xiaomi…
While I generally love the Huawei watches, they have a major flaw. For watches that are so focussed on health and fitness (the app is even called Huawei Health) there is a serious issue with the lack of integration with major fitness apps. Specifically, Strava. When I moan about it to other tech bloggers, I…
The smart video doorbell market has been getting increasingly competitive in the past year. Ring may dominate the market, but we have seen impressive launches from Arlo and Eufy that are just as good if not better than some of the Ring products (depending on your requirements).

Active noise-cancelling headphones don’t have to cost a fortune. Skullcandy has been a popular, affordable brand for many years with a wide range of fashion and sports focussed audio gear. Today they are announcing two new headphones, upgrading their popular Hesh line-up. The highlight is the Skullcandy Hesh ANC which comes in at £119.99, around…
LastPass has been a long time favourite password manager for many over the years. With its cross-device compatibility and generally easy to use interface, it has always been an excellent way of having secure and unique passwords. Back in 2015, the company was acquired by LogMeIn and LastPass has been declining ever since. LastPass have…
