Following on from my review of the FS S3150-8T2FP POE switch, I have also been trying out their 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceivers, which allow you to convert the 10 Gb SFP+ ports to 10Gb RJ-45. These transceiver modules are relatively expensive, at £50, compared to a standard 10Gb SFP+ modules, which will set you back around…
I reviewed the Polar OH1 optical heart rate monitor back in 2018 and have continued to use it until this year when the Polar Sense Verity was launched. Every other HRM I have tried has died or just not been very accurate. Not much has changed since the older model, existing users shouldn’t feel too…
The Huawei P50 Pro is expected to launch today in China. Typically launched in late March, Huawei has been struggling with component supplies due to the ongoing issues with the US and trading restrictions. While we normally have a global launch, the phone will be limited to China for now. It is also expected that…
Realme will launch their new MagDart charging solution on 3rd August, making them the first brand to introduce magnetic charging to Android phones. The name is shamelessly similar to Magsafe, while it was inevitable that magnetic charging would come to Android (a bit like wireless charging eventually came to Apple), it would have been preferable…
FS, formerly Fiber Store, has quickly grown expanding into producing their own networking hardware including switches, access points and even video conferencing solutions. The range of switches is particularily impressive with options starting out at £115 for an 8-port POE switch. It is the higher end stuff that is perhaps more noteworthy, the S5860-24XB-U is…
Within your working day, your team may receive a number of telephone calls and emails, which they will need to respond to. While most of these may legitimately be to do with your business, some may come from those who partake in scams and phishing. To help yourself, and those you work with, reduce the…
Aqara has been a popular smart home system for many users looking for an affordable solution for a while now. In the early days, this meant buyers were importing products from various grey import sites such as AliExpress. In recent years the brand has expanded into the European market, with a large range of official…
ZTE is quickly becoming one of the brands you should be on the lookout for in the UK. I was particularly impressed with the Red Magic 6R, which is a gaming sub-brand, and the latest announcement has piqued my interest more. The ZTE Axon 30 has been announced for the Chinese market but they plan…
After months of hype with incremental releases of information, the Nothing ear (1) has finally launched. While I think the hype around an earbud launch has been a little excessive, they do sound quite impressive, let’s just hope they can live up to this hype. Features: A unique transparent charging case The earbud stem and…
It feels like Nokia has given up trying to compete in the mid-range and flagship market. Their most advanced phone recently is the Nokia 8.3 5G launched back in November with the Snapdragon 765G. Instead, they have released lots of low-end phones and nostalgic feature phones. The latest is the Nokia XR20, which is an…
Mediatek has announced its latest chipset. However, this time, it is not for mobile phones but specifically designed for tablets. The chipset is clearly based around the latest flagship Dimensity 1200 design, using high-performance Arm Cortex A78 CPU cores and a nine-core Mali G77 GPU. How different it is to the smartphone counterpart remains unknown….
Anyone half-serious about fitness will know that the optical heart rate monitoring on watches is prone to serious inaccuracies. It is not so much that the sensor is inaccurate, just the wrist is an awful place to monitor your heart rate. I have reviewed several heart rate monitors now and bought many more. I have…
