I used to be an obese heavy drinker, and since getting fit, I always have obsessed with monitoring my health being paranoid that my previous lifestyle choices have caused chronic damage. I love all fitness tech and love to keep track of stats, so keeping an eye on various health markers is something I find…
Recently I have covered a lot of cheap Chinese brands that are churning out Android phones. These often require buying them from grey import sites such as Gearbest, and even if you get them from Amazon, the warranty and product support are always in question. If you are looking for a more reliable brand, then…
With the new iPhone X comes the new Animoji. That’s right, animated emojis that uses the front-facing camera to map your face to a 3D emoji. Obviously, this is not the main function of the front-facing true depth camera system, it’s actually meant for face ID. But since they’re already capturing all that face data,…
Netgear has established themselves as one of the market leaders in smart home security cameras with their Arlo range. I have previously reviewed the Netgear Arlo Q which is the indoor based camera from Netgear. The utterly wire-free battery-powered indoor/outdoor version is where they established themselves though.

The iDual lighting range is a range of LEDs and bulbs that offer remote control and unlimited colour and brightness adjustments. In a world with Philips Hue these are a bit retro, there is no smart connection of any form, you control them via remote control. The iDual Dahlia Table Lamp is a spherical lamp…
Another power bank from one of our favourite accessory companies Aukey on Amazon. I have found they always make reliable, well-built products at a decent price. There isn’t a massive amount of variation or innovation with power banks; a battery is a battery after all. However, this one does have a few stand out features…
