Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
I have reviewed a few Edifier speakers now, and they offer a wide range of options for people looking for affordable options. I previously reviewed the excellent Edifier R1850DB, the R2000DB are a step up in the product range, offering a superior specification in a similar but physically larger design. While the Edifier R2000DB may…
Featured image not me, unfortunately. The Wahoo Tickr & Tickr X came out in May last year and looked to be the best HRM options on the market, more affordable than Garmin and with superior Bluetooth options. As usual, Dcrainmaker had an in-depth review almost as soon as the product was available for pre-order. Both…
Announced back in June, the Oppo Reno 4 Pro 5G has only recently been made available in the UK. This adopts a similar approach to the Google Pixel 5, providing users with an almost flagship phone experience at a reduced cost by using a mid-range chipset. Oppo has done this for a while, so technically…
With the prospect of travel being allowed again in the next few months, I have been looking for portable working solutions. The Jelly Comb multi-device Bluetooth keyboard has been recommended a lot recently, several people on social media I follow have mentioned it, so figured I should give it a go. Features Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard…
The Samsung Galaxy S21 series launched last week and is traditionally the best selling flagship Android device of the year. It is also one that has come under criticism for its poor battery life in markets that use the Exynos chipset. This year promises to be different, with a new, improved chipset design. The range…
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro were launched with the flagship Samsung Galaxy S21 series and were offered as a free pre-order bonus for buyers of the phone. That has now ended with the current offer being for the cheaper Galaxy Buds Live. The new Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have an RRP of £219 making them…
I am slowly working on the full review of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, which I hope to be complete at some point this week. I have already covered: Performance benchmarks of the Exynos 2100 vs Snapdragon 888 on the Xiaomi Mi 11 Battery and thermal throttling tests of the Exynos 2100 vs Snapdragon 888…
The Huawei MateBook 14 2020 has been out for a few months now featuring (at the time) the new AMD Ryzen 4000 series mobile chipset. While the newer Ryzen 5000 series has been announced, few, if any lightweight laptops feature these yet. It is unique in its specification, offering the Ryzen 5 4600H or Ryzen…
As part of my Xiaomi Mi 11 review, I dedicated a post to testing the battery and seeing how much temperatures rise while in use. The phone runs much hotter with quicker battery drain than last years flagship Snapdragon 865 phones, but it does offer incredible performance. As usual, the UK variant of Samsung flagship…
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra officially launches today, but many pre-orders were sent out early, including mine. The new Samsung Galaxy S21 series features the Exynos 2100 which has the potential to put Samsung back on track with their Exynos chipsets following a few years of poor performance vs its Qualcomm counterpart. So, will UK…
I impulsively bought the Amazon Echo Flex and the addon motion sensor during the Black Friday period. The Flex was £14 but the motion sensor £15, all in all, a cheap buy as far as my compulsive tech spending goes. What I hoped to achieve was a relatively affordable motion sensor for Philips Hue lights…
Announced back at CES 2020, the Yale Linus Smart Lock has only recently been made available. This adopts a different approach to the Conexis L1 smart lock, and it addresses the concerns many users had with that. The lock retains its old-fashioned cylinder allowing you to optionally use you key when leaving or entering your…
