The OPPO Find X3 Pro was launched back in March 2021, so this review has come a little late. However, it is one of the highest specced phones of the year, with a price tag to match, and I didn’t want to pass on reviewing a phone of this calibre. Due to the timing of … Read more

I have been a fan of the Amazon Fire TV sticks and Nvidia Shield for years now. But they are not perfect, I hate having to use WiFi (or 100M Ethernet) on the Fire Stick, the tubular Nvidia Shield is no use for large local 4K files, and the Pro is very expensive. Cheap Chinese … Read more

I wasn’t overly impressed with the Mercusys Halo S12. While it is incredibly cheap, the overall specification and performance reflected the price.

With many homes being able to … Read more
Smartphone gimbals have become popular in recent years, allowing us to achieve smooth cinematic video from our smartphones.

I recently reviewed the Redmi Smart Band Pro, which was a good but perhaps unremarkable fitness band that is very similar to the Xiaomi Mi Band 6.
