Earlier in the year, I got to test the new HP Envy X2 laptop which was running Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 SoC and was the first attempt at getting an ARM-based processor working with Windows. My experience was a little mixed, I love the concept, the battery life is awesome and the always-on connectivity perfect for a blogger…
The Vivo Next bucked the trend towards notches by introducing an innovative pop-out camera, the idea then spared Oppo to develop the Find X which used a slider to hide the notches. The flagship Xiaomi Mi MIX range will follow suit by implementing a slider on the Mi MIX 3. The Mi MIX range was also a little different than…
Premium routers tend to fall into one of two camps, ultra-high-performance single unit devices or mesh system routers. Living in a reasonably large house I love mesh systems as they provide reliable coverage across a large area, but they often sacrifice a peak speed performance, and due to the increasing number of components they can…
Huawei has a pretty crazy release cycle, far exceeding other major players in the mobile industry such as Samsung, Apple and Sony. While Samsung has a biannual release cycle for their flagship models, the Galaxy and Note range are sufficiently different to justify it, with the note being large, more expensive and more business/pro focussed. Looking at…
If you are buying your TV package and broadband separately then you are almost certainly paying far more than you need; it’s much simpler and much cheaper to buy your broadband and TV as a bundle. The range of packages available can be confusing but the good news is that competition is driving down prices…
As technology increases to grow at a rapid rate, you may be under the assumption that it’s going to slow humans down – with more and more people getting stuck behind a screen and not getting out and about. However, it turns out the opposite is true. Technology is encouraging more and more people to…
During the Mate 20 announcement, Huawei also announced the new Watch GT and I found it almost as exciting as the phone release. As much as I love my Garmin Fenix 5 it cost me £350, and the plus models are about £600 and while they are technically smartwatches, they lack a lot of smartwatch…
Even though October is such a busy month with phone launches, Huawei has managed to maintain the hype for its latest flagship, and deservedly so too. The newly announced Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are likely contenders for best phones of the year. At this point, thanks to weeks of leaks and rumours there…
After losing 100lbs and finding out I can fit into nice clothes I found that traditional wallets don’t work well with slim trousers. Just to be clear I am not one of these people that wears ultra skinny spray on pants, but most slim jeans or suit trousers suffer from terrible wallet bulge. I only…
If you travel frequently you will appreciate a good Euro plug. Cheap adapters are rubbish and I always find they struggle to fit in the plug then you have the UK plug handing off it. With most if not all the devices I take abroad with me being charged by USB it makes more sense…
Following my post on DRAM prices expecting to drop 5% before the year out, and that they have dropped over 25% this year, I thought it was worth seeing what are the best deals currently. I am eager to update my PC and relegate my R5 1600 to being the server, I am also keen…
Fitbit has dominated the fitness tracking market for years, but fitness trackers themselves are being displaced by smartwatches, in particular, the Apple Watch, but also Android and Garmin with the sports focussed watches. Smaller companies struggle to compete, Misfit are gone, as is the Basis Peak, and Withings has changed hands twice in the past…
