The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is arguably the best flagship phone from Samsung in years. With the newly designed Exynos 2100 chipset, Samsung finally has something that can compete with Qualcomm.

Wahoo Tickr & Tickr X Heart Rate Monitor Review – Useless, save your money. Heart rate locks & dropouts. Would be good if they actually worked

I previously reviewed the Ezviz LC1 in 2019, at the time it was one of the only floodlight cameras on the market, and I found it to be a superb camera as long as you are willing to commit to the Ezviz system. Hikvision have been trickling down their advanced object detection and low light…

This only affects the phones running the Chinese ROM of MIUI, which do not have Google services pre-installed when sold (like most Chinese phones). For a long time, many users bypassed this restriction by simply…
