Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
Twinly recently announced their latest range of smart string lights, the Twinkly Candies. These are available to buy now, with plenty of time to get them for either Halloween or Christmas. These new lights come in two lengths and four shapes, including candles, hearts, pearls and stars. Testing these in September, I haven’t had the…
The Imou DB60 is an affordable wireless video doorbell with a built-in battery that offers convenient installation without the need for wiring. It captures video in 2560 x 1920 resolution with H.265 compression and has motion detection, human detection, and two-way audio. I tested the Imou DB60 for several weeks to see how it performs…
I have previously reviewed the superb Meross MSP843P smart fast charging power strip, which is the only smart extension lead I am aware of that has a 65W power delivery USB-C plug. The Meross MSS620HK is advertised as being an outdoor smart plug thanks to its durable design and IP44 rating. I think the overall…
I have previously reviewed the Geekom Mini IT11 and IT8 and have been sold on the idea of a mini-PC ever since. These are versatile computers ideal for work PCs, HTPCs, or a variety of server applications such as Home Assistant or a Plex media server. I don’t think I need to sell the idea…
Creative announced the Sound Blaster Katana SE in June, which sits between the Katana V2 and V2X in pricing. Unlike the other Katana soundbars, Creative have condensed all the speakers into the soundbar itself, omitting the need for a dedicated subwoofer and increasing the driver size and power to allow this soundbar to achieve impressive…
The Reolink RLC-823A 16X was launched earlier this year, and as the name suggests, it is essentially the same as the existing Reolink RLC-823A, but the zoom has been increased to 16x vs 5x. This is the most expensive camera Reolink does. I would say that it is quite a niche camera as the zoom…
GameSir has been on a roll with recent controller launches. Back in July, I reviewed the GameSir G7 SE, and in May, I reviewed the GameSir T4 Kaleid. The GameSir T4 Cyclone and Pro models are the latest multi-platform controller. The controller has many of the features used on the GameSir T4 Kaleid, but you…
Following on from my previous reviews of the Nitecore MH12 Pro and EDC27 EDC flashlight, my last Nitecore review is for the NU25 UL headlamp. This light has a bit more personal appeal to myself and my partner compared to the flashlight, as we are both keen runners. My partner works 9-5 and has been…
The Xiaomi 13T was announced at the end of September alongside the Xiaomi 13T Pro and the new Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro WearOS smartwatch. Priced at £549, the Xiaomi 13T is a compelling choice for anyone looking for a high quality phone without the expense associated with flagship phones. In particular, this phone applies to…
Following on from my review of the excellent Nitecore MH12 Pro flashlight, I have also been using the Nitecore EDC27. This is a slim flashlight that’s designed for everyday carry (EDC). It is a similar price to the Nitecore EDC27, but its flat design and built-in clip makes it more convenient to carry around with…
I reviewed the superb Eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro two years ago, which now seems to be called the Eufy Floodlight Camera S330. I continued to use it until recently, and it has been my favourite floodlight camera up until now. Recently, Eufy announced the new Eufy Floodlight Camera E340, which is a dual-lens…
I have previously been impressed with some of the surveillance cameras from Annke. The Annke NC400 that I reviewed back in 2021 was a highlight, providing true colour night vision for under £100. Reolink, who I consistently praise, have only just released their first ColorX 4MP colour night vision. The Annke NightChroma NCPT500 appears to…
