ByJames Smythe

With a large percentage of the population working from home this year the demand for reliable Internet has skyrocketed. This has led many people to realise that their internet service provider options are poor and/or their home networking equipment such as Wi-Fi routers are not up to the job.

ByJames Smythe

There is never much to write about USB chargers, however, looking on Amazon for a new charger is an absolute minefield depending on what you want. In the past, you bought a USB plug by the number of ports it provides. Now, with the different number of ports, you have USB A and C, then…

Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Initial Review vs Poco X3. Which is best? Benchmarks of Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G vs 732G

ByJames Smythe

I finally got a chance to review the Poco X3 NFC at the end of October.

ByJames Smythe

GameSir is back with another cross-platform controller. As usual, this offers support for PC, Nintendo Switch, Android and iOS. Sadly, it is not a universal controller; there is no PS4/PS5 or Xbox compatibility, however, it is still one of the best options I have used for what it does. Features Included: Gamepad / 2.4G Receiver…

Realme 7 5G Review – A Realme V5 upgraded with Dimensity 800U chipset & 120Hz display becomes one of UK’s cheapest 5G phones

ByJames Smythe

Merely days ago, I wrote about the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite being the UKs cheapest 5G phone. So Realme has inevitably retaliated with their own affordable 5G phone. Their claims of the most affordable 5G phone in Europe are a little misleading, there is no other phone with 6GB/128GB for this price, but the Xiaomi…

OPPO Reno4 Z Review – This Dimensity equipped phone allows OPPO to compete with pricing vs Xiaomi and Realme (+ it is super cheap on contract)

ByJames Smythe

OPPO have a lot of amazing phones, I have always found they excel at the upper end of the market, in particular, the Find X2 Pro is probably the only £1k+ phone I would have been tempted to buy myself this year. For their mid-range phones, they have always suffered a little in perceived value…
