MediaTek has launched a lot of chipsets recently, some of which look set to shake up the mobile chipset market, while others look like a waste of time with old chipsets being rebadged as new ones with minor tweaks. This year, the Dimensity 1000 and Dimensity 1000L are definitely two of the chipsets to keep…
I enjoyed the Black Shark 2 but it was suspiciously similar in specs to the Xiaomi Mi 9. However, as the brand has grown, so has their ability to develop something unique. Today Black Shark announced two new phones the Black Shark and the 3 Pro. Sadly, there is no word of UK availability yet….
MediaTek recently announced their latest mid-range chipset, the Helio P95, and this has then been used for the latest Oppo Reno3 Pro 4G. In my previous comparison of the P95 vs the older P90 and the other recently launched MediaTek chipsets the Helio G80 & Helio G70, I highlighted that it was a bit of…
The Reno3 series is quickly becoming one of the more confusing ranges of phones I have written about recently. The Oppo Reno3 Pro and standard Reno3 were launched in China back in December.

Arlo, formerly owned by Netgear has long been the dominant company for wire-free security cameras, I would argue that they are the company responsible for the popularisation of the battery-powered wire-free outdoor surveillance camera. Since the launch of Arlo, many companies have come along replicating their features, many of them are inferior, plenty of them…
Companies, especially SaaS, although talk about customer-centricity but rarely do they ever take it seriously. But, one leading VPN provider proved the world why customer-centricity is important and how it has eventually led to the company’s success.

After announcing a bunch of amazing sounding chipsets that put them toe to toe with high-end system on chips from Qualcomm and Samsung, Mediatek appears to have run out of ideas.
