The latest technology news from around the world
Today, Mediatek took the wraps off its latest two flagship chipsets for 2021. I have already covered how they improved on the Dimensity 1000+, but how do they compare with the Qualcomm and Samsung chipsets you find on the likes of the Galaxy S21 and Xiaomi Mi 11. MediaTek Dimensity 1200 & 1100 vs Qualcomm…
Today, MediaTek has announced two brand new chipsets targeting high-end devices, the Dimensity 1200 and Dimensity 1100. While these chipsets offer improvement from the previous generation, the main thing I am hoping for is that they are more widely adopted in the global market, providing an affordable alternative to flagship phones based on Qualcomm and…
Today, Qualcomm took the wraps of their latest chipset which sits somewhere in a no man’s of being last years tech and flagship spec. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 snapdragon follows a similar trend we have seen from both Qualcomm and MediaTek in the past couple of years. Take an old chipset, tweak it by…
With all-new Huawei devices using Huawei Mobile Services instead of Google, they are reliant on the success of the AppGalley and developers putting their apps on it. They have implemented stopgap solutions such as Petal Search allowing you to easily sideload APKs, but it is far from ideal. Huawei have invested a lot of money…
The HeroLook Pro+, the latest iteration of the company’s affordable notebook series. It has attracted the expectations of many users and consumers with a 3K screen resolution. Now the HeroLook Pro+ will be officially available for sale. The HeroBook Pro+ features a Samsung 13.3-inch screen with a retinal resolution of 3200 * 1800. It is…
In another blow to the consumer tech industry, the US government has blacklisted Xiaomi along with eight other companies from receiving US investment. This continues the prolonged political dispute with the US and China, which has led the US to place very severe restrictions on Huawei. The new restrictions placed on Xiaomi are relatively mild…
Samsung has officially taken the wraps off their main flagship devices of the year, the Galaxy S21, Plus, Ultra. The devices have been widely leaked, so there is not much to reveal here, but official UK pricing is now confirmed as £769/£949/£1149. While the design has changed a bit and the new devices use the…
Later today, Samsung will unveil their flagship Samsung Galaxy S21, this is traditionally the first phone to feature the latest flagship chipset from Qualcomm with all other brands trying to play catch up. This year, however, Xiaomi beat them to it, with a couple of caveats. The Xiaomi Mi 11 was announced just before the…
We have already seen Asus and Netgear launch WiFi 6E routers, offering reliable ultra-fast connections using 160Mhz on the 6Ghz frequency. TP-Link & Linksys are taking a different approach with their first WiFi 6E devices, and just straight in with a mesh system. TP-Link have the Deco X76 Plus and the X96 Plus while Linksys…
Yesterday at CES 2021, Samsung formally announced its flagship mobile chipset for the year, the Exynos 2100. In previous years, Samsung has developed its own performance CPU microarchitecture for these chipsets, but that division has now been closed down, and Samsung are using Arm’s Cortex cores such as the new X1. The decision to ditch…
During CES 2021, Amazfit announced their latest smartwatches the Amazfit GTR 2e and GTS 2e, offering a similar aesthetic and feature set to the existing Amazfit GTR 2 & GT 2 but at a lower price point. I reviewed the Amazfit GTS 2 back in December and found it to be a superb option for…
TCL do a lot more than TV’s, in 2020, they expanded their mobile line up with the TCL 10 series, which were favourably received by publications. I found that the TCL 10 Pro offered one of the best screens on the market at its price point. The TCL 10 5G offered genuine competition against more…
