The latest technology news from around the world
As part of my Xiaomi Mi 11 review, I dedicated a post to testing the battery and seeing how much temperatures rise while in use. The phone runs much hotter with quicker battery drain than last years flagship Snapdragon 865 phones, but it does offer incredible performance. As usual, the UK variant of Samsung flagship…
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra officially launches today, but many pre-orders were sent out early, including mine. The new Samsung Galaxy S21 series features the Exynos 2100 which has the potential to put Samsung back on track with their Exynos chipsets following a few years of poor performance vs its Qualcomm counterpart. So, will UK…
I have covered a lot of video doorbells recently, and Ring has now announced another new video doorbell to the market. They have traditionally dominated in with the battery powered options, being the only viable solution until the wire-free Eufy doorbell arrived, and more recently the wire free Arlo. While all the Ring doorbells can…
EPOS is best known for their range of gaming headsets and surround sound DACs which were previously branded, then co-branded with Sennheiser. Like almost every other company on the planet, they have no launched some true wireless earbuds. With EPOS being a gaming brand they offer something many TWS earphones lack. The EPOS GTW 270…
Update – With the MikroTik out of stock there are two options on Amazon by Paradar which have an 8.5dbi Antenna or a 4.5dbi antenna. I have also written another post about the best antenna selection for the Helium Hotspot. I was a little sceptical when I was first offered the Helium Hotspot to review; it…
While this is not normally something I would post about, the takeaway I have from this new announcement by MediaTek is their commitment to break into the Western market with their Dimensity chipsets. Something I have been eager for them to do since the launch of the Dimensity 1000. Full Press Release: MediaTek today announced…
[Update] Aktiia have confirmed they have no relation to the Valencell, and the Valencell technology seems to be some way off being consumer-ready. After spending most of my twenties being unhealthy I am quite paranoid about heart health. In the UK 63% of people are overweight and 28% obese, so most people should be concerned…
Announced on the 28th of December, the Xiaomi Mi 11 beat the Samsung Galaxy S21 to be the first phone featuring the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. The launch was limited to China, and there has been no word on the Pro model yet. Eager to try out Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset, I opted to…
This was part of the Xiaomi Mi 11 review I am finalising, but it ended up being so long it warranted its own post. My tests here are not the most thorough in the world, but they still highlight some issues that have been raised by others regarding the phone, and potentially the SD888 chipset….
Many people think that bingo is just a lottery game where players have to listen to the announcer and match the numbers mentioned on the card in columns and rows. Nonetheless, this is not the sole way of playing this classic game. This simple game a number of variants that can enhance the gameplay. If…
Following the announcement of the MediaTek Dimensity 1200, Realme were quick to tease a new phone based on the chipset, which was later confirmed to be the Realme X9 Pro. Perhaps to get ahead of unofficial leaks, Realme have sent out the exact specification of their two new flagship devices, the X9 Pro, and then…
I have already looked at how the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 & 1100 improve on the previous generation Dimensity 1000+, and how they compare with the Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100. However, the new Dimensity chipsets may be more comparable to the just-announced Snapdragon 870. In terms of overall performance, it seems unlikely the MediaTek Dimensity…
