I loved both the Realme 6 and Pro, though it is only the Realme 6 that has been launched so far. While we don’t have word on how much the Realme 6 Pro will cost, it looks very likely that the Realme 6 will be the stand out choice, balancing features and performance with an…
Buttons and switches are a superb addition to any smart home system allowing you to carry commands without reaching for your phone or shouting at Alexa. When I started this post, I knew there were a lot of options, but it turns out there are way more products that I realised. I have been looking…
I have had lifelong sleep problems, and I am a very light sleeper that also overheats very easily. So as soon as the weather heats up, my sleep quality reduces. Being in the north of the UK we don’t have air-con so for hot nights we have to resort to a fan. Unfortunately, fans can…
The Huawei P40 Pro is the first major launch in the UK from Huawei with a phone without Google. When I reviewed the phone, there is definitely a learning curve if you want to adapt to a life without Google, you could, of course, still, install Google Mobile Services. The reason Huawei can’t use Google…
Realme appears to be following Xiaomi’s footsteps by launching lots of phones at slightly different price points. The Realme X50m is their latest phone which main selling point is how cheap it is. With a launch price of CNY1,999 (£229/$280/€260) this must be the most affordable 5G phone on the market. There is no word…
You can get pretty much anything app-controlled nowadays; there is even an Alexa controlled microwave. So it is no surprise there is an app-controlled pedestal fan if anything I was surprised at the lack of competing options. I specifically bought this fan to be able to use it when I go to sleep. I am…

Now Polar is back, with the Grit X, it is not so much a successor to the Vantage but a new high-end watch much the same as the Vantage series but…
Motorola hasn’t made a true flagship for a few years, and things have looked a little bleak for the company with just a 3% global smartphone share in Q1, 2019. Their mid-range phones have always been popular recommendations, the use of Android one has allowed them to stand out from other affordable brands. Then the…
With the recent launch of the Realme 6 series, we have multiple phones at similar price points. All of them are excellent, but with them all being similarly priced, so represent better value than others. Currently, you can buy the Realme 5 Pro for the same price as the Realme 6i then the Realme 6…
There’s something so simple, enjoyable and pure when playing games on your smartphone. From the era of Snake on the early Nokia to Candy Crush and more recently Call Of Duty. Being able to pull your phone from your pocket and fire up a game within a minute has a certain charm to it compared…
I don’t normally bother with cable reviews as there is little to write about them and they are quite boring. Volutz are a little different though, they make some big claims. Their range of braided cables which are available in USB-C, microUSB and Apple MFi Certified Lightning Cable are all tested for over 50,000 worth…
You may have heard of the game Rust. You may have seen gameplay videos with a lot of blood and angry shouting in Eastern European accents. But what is Rust? In this post, we’re going to explain in great detail what the game is, and then tell you why you should play it. Even how…
