Instead, they have released lots of low-end phones and nostalgic feature phones. The latest is the Nokia XR20, which is an…

Powr labs Chest & Optical Armband Hear Rate Monitor Review – Good alternative options vs Wahoo, Polar & Garmin

Anyone half-serious about fitness will know that the optical heart rate monitoring on watches is prone to serious inaccuracies.

How to stop AdChoices on Android & Windows – Adlock Review

OPPO Enco Free2 earbuds announced for £89 with ANC – Cheaper & different design vs Enco Free

This morning I woke up to two press announcements about active noise cancelling TWS earbuds. One, which is the fifth press announcement about the Nothing earbuds over since April, trickling annoyingly small bits of details.
