Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
I have previously reviewed the OnePlus Watch 3, and it has been my favourite WearOS watch by a considerable margin. If I weren’t so deeply ingrained in the Garmin ecosystem, I would have switched to it as my personal watch and consistently recommended it to friends and colleagues. A few months later, OnePlus launched the…
After nearly a decade of waiting, Philips Hue has finally delivered what many smart lighting enthusiasts have been begging for – a bridge that can handle the demands of a modern smart home. The Hue Bridge Pro represents the first major hardware upgrade to the Hue ecosystem’s backbone since 2015, when the version 2 bridge…
The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 has been available for around 3 months, but Xiaomi recently announced the Glimmer Edition, which upgrades the strap with a metal bracelet embedded with 6 glass crystals, delivering a blend of shine and texture. As always, the Smart Band 10 is probably the best affordable fitness tracker on the market,…
The last time I reviewed a drone was back in 2023 with the Powervision PowerEgg X, which no longer appears to be trading. It was a decent drone, but the pricing wasn’t that different from the superior DJI Air 2S. So, when Ruko reached out to review the Ruko U11MINI 4K, I was eager to…
I have reviewed a lot of SwitchBot products in the past couple of years and have generally loved all of them. I like how they try to do things a bit differently from other brands, and the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is one of the best smart locks on the market, with advanced features…
I have been a big fan of Ugreen for the past few years, with them consistently launching great Power Delivery chargers, portable power banks, and USB/Thunderbolt docks. One product range I have been eager to try out is the new Ugreen NAS devices. I am a keen homelabber who is currently running two mini PCs…
I reviewed the Xiaomi Watch S3 in March 2024, and the company launched its successor earlier this year. More recently, they have launched the smaller 41mm version, which has a more feminine design and is better suited for smaller wrists. Like the previous models, the Xiaomi Watch S4, available in both sizes, utilises Xiaomi HyperOS,…
My first experience of smart blinds was the premium-priced Luxaflex PowerView, which I reviewed back in 2021. They are great blinds, but I unfortunately have a lot of sleep problems and need a completely dark room, which they did not provide. I then went in the other direction when reviewing the affordable Aqara Roller Shade…
My brother Ted previously reviewed the Khadas Tea DAC Bluetooth Headphone Amplifier almost three years ago. Ted highlighted several weak spots of the Khadas Tea, with criticisms of the lack of a companion app and a warm bass bias sound. I personally prefer a warmer sound as I am sensitive to high-pitched noises, but the…
Philips Hue launched the Play Wall Washer back in June and is apparently designed to replace the Play Lightbar. This is a multi-purpose ambient light, but it will likely be popular with those wanting to create ambient lighting effects for TVs, and this would be a perfect addition for the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync…
In my opinion, the T series from Xiaomi has been consistently one of the best phones of the year, providing buyers with an almost flagship experience without the associated premium price. The only other competing model I can think of is the Honor x00 Pro series, with the 200 Pro launching at a lower price…
I reviewed the Daan Tech Bob Mini Dishwasher back in November 2020 and was surprised by how much demand there was for countertop dishwashers. There are plenty of options on the market, but at the time, that was the smallest and also the most attractive of the alternatives. More recently, Loch Electronics sent me their…
