Xiaomi has continued to unleash phones on the market in quick succession this year covering almost every price point but shying away from the premium-priced flagships (ignoring the Mi MIX Alpha). The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro is quite new to the market, but since its launch, in September there has been the Xiaomi Redmi…
I was previously very impressed with the Wharfedale Exson M its affordable price and big sound won me over. The Exson S is its smaller brother but actually costs more, it is a more convenient size being more bag friendly and the design is a bit more appealing. Specification Model: Exson S Waterproof: IPX7 (up…
The original Nvidia Shield TV launched in 2015, with a revision in 2017 using the same system on chip but in a sleeker design and some other minor improvements. In its four years of existence, it has been regarded as one of, if not the best set-top boxes on the market. Impressively, Nvidia has continued…
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 5G was one of the first phones to launch with 5G, and it is still one of the cheapest options on the market. Vodafone switched on 5G in July with a surprising number of cities already 5G enabled and many smaller towns (including Blackpool) expected to get switched on before 2020….
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Ultra HD was and still is one of the best streaming devices on the market. With an RRP of £49.99, at the time of launch, it was one of two devices supporting Dolby Vision and HDR10+ and a fraction of the price of the Apple TV. The year has…
I finally got a PS4 Pro last Christmas, and since then I have gamed from my couch which is quite a distance away from the TV. I have been eager to get a beanbag style chair so I can game up close for some of that full immersion gameplay. Recently BeanBagBazaar was kind enough to…

I have reviewed smart plug options from TP-link Kasa and Energenie MiHome in the past, and if you look on Amazon it has become quite a saturated market with many random Chinese brands flooding the listing, and even Amazon themselves with a smart plug. There are also various Z-Wave smart plugs and other options, but…
I reviewed the Livall BH60SE back in March 2019 and came away very impressed with the smart bike helmet which combined lights, built-in speakers and indicators. That was a road cycling style helmet, and Livall also makes some more urban or commuter orientated helmets. Their latest being the new flagship Livall BH51M NEO which has…
[Updated on 5th of November 2018] The AI Life app will be available for iOS so you will be able to access the noise-cancelling functionality these earphones feature. Back at IFA in September, Huawei announced their latest earphones, the Huawei Freebuds 3, which feature a suspiciously similar design to the existing Apple Airpods but include…
Recently, Realme officially launched in the EU, as part of the launch they announced the new, possibly one of the best phones of the year, Realme X2 Pro. Along with that, they brought the X2 and Realme 5 Pro which has previously been announced in their native countries. With the launch of these three phones,…
[Originally Posted on 15-October-2019] [Update on 25-10-2019] I have now been using this phone for over two weeks as my primary device, my overall opinion of the phone has not changed, it has taken the concept of an affordable flagship device to a new level.
