I have been writing a lot about Xiaomi recently, not because they are the most innovative company on the market but because the Chinese super brand churns out some amazingly specced cheap phones. Sadly, these phones are rarely available from major UK suppliers, and you must instead rely on buying them from grey importers such…
I sometimes get sent review samples that are not the most high tech, but I think they are still relevant. As a health conscious fitness fanatic, I am generally happy to review anything that can help, and that includes anything kitchen related such as AnySharp 5-in-1 Smart Scissors or the Ion8 Leak Proof Water Bottle which helps…
Following the Smart Home Week Forum, I attended a few months ago Yale was kind enough to send me one of their Keyless Connected Smart Locks to review. In the UK, as it currently stands, Yale is the only reputable company producing smart locks for the home, there are a few random Chinese brands on…
The mobile gaming phenomenon might seem like something relatively recent. But if we are honest with ourselves, for almost as long as we have had mobile phones, we have been using them for more than just making calls. In the earliest days, that meant a game of Snake, Tetris or Solitaire. And today, while the…
A few weeks ago, the Suunto 9 was launched, and for the past three weeks or so I have been using it as my main sports watch, replacing my ageing Garmin Forerunner 235. I have posted some initial impressions of it, but now I have used it for around 20 gym, running sessions, and a…
Alcatel launched a slew of new phones at MWC this year, all in the affordable price bracket, and I have been slowly reviewing the range since. The top model for this year’s models is the Alcatel 5 which is priced at £179.99 on Amazon, though now technically the top model is the Alcatel 5v. Specification…
After coming away pleasantly surprised with the Thermaltake View 22 TG case, Thermaltake was kind enough to send me the View 32 TG RGB Edition. As the name would suggest this is a notch up in terms of specification and this model is full RGB too. This model is £127.99 on Amazon putting it somewhere…
I have reviewed a large number of home security cameras now but the Kodak EP101WG is actually the first model I have tried out with pan / tilt /zoom, so it is an interesting alternative to the many options available nowadays. The Kodak EP101WG is part of a new security system Kodak has developed and…
The Linner NC50 wireless earphones tick a lot of boxes for my needs, they are Bluetooth, sweatproof using a rubber construction and have active noise cancellation all for a bargain price of £59.99. Can they get close to the Bose active noise cancellation quality or even just work as a good pair of sports earphones?…
Amason Prime Day is finally upon us. Amazon’s attempt at creating a Black Friday in the middle of the year while also boosting its prime memberships. No wonder it now owns 49% of all the e-commerce market in the US. It doesn’t officially start for a few more hours but I will update this post as and…
Recently Detective Store sent me the MemoQ MQ-77N digital voice recorder and pen to review. As the name suggests, this is a ballpoint pen with a voice recorder built into it which you can activate discretely via moving the pen clip. You can also have the pen optionally activate when it detects sounds. The model…
Update: The full Suunto 9 review is now live The Suunto 9 was announced a few weeks ago, and I received my review sample at the end of last week. Since then I have replaced my Garmin 235 and used it as my daily watch. I have not had it long enough to test it…
