Withings Body Scan smart scales add handles for ECG & segmented body composition vs Body Cardio

While Wi-Fi 6 may offer significant speed improvements on the current 5Ghz band, the performance is often held back due to congested Wi-Fi networks and pesky radar, creating the need for DFS (Dynamic frequency selection) channels. Wi-Fi 6E is the next-gen Wi-Fi we have really been waiting for. This expands the Wi-Fi network into the…

Realme GT 2 Pro uses a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor as featured on OPPO Find X3 Pro and Realme GT Explorer Master

As much as I love Realme, they have been a bit lacklustre in the camera department.
