Realme 7 5G review: Everything you need at an affordable price
We’ve already reviewed the Realme X50 5G and found it to be a contender for 2020’s budget phone of the year thanks to its ability to do just about everything well and its affordable £299 price. As a relatively new brand that is fast becoming a household name in Europe, Realme isn’t resting on its […]

Raptic Rise Headphones Charging Stand review: Simple and premium
Raptic is a new brand that was formerly known as X-Doria. We’ve had some good experiences with the brand in the past, and they’re best known for smartphone cases and accessories.

YouTube Music’s ‘2020 in Review’ playlist is here to take your mind off everything else
2020 has been one doozy of a year so far, and it’s not quite finished yet, unfortunately. And while we managed to dodge a bullet otherwise known as YouTube Rewind 2020, YouTube Music has taken it upon itself to rustle up a ‘2020 in review’ playlist for its subscribers. YouTube Music isn’t giving you any […]

LG Wing review: Keep the weird stuff coming
See that image above? That’s not two phones on top of each other, that’s the incredibly strange LG Wing. The phone flips around, giving you two screens on top of each other that are fully functional. It’s a bit of a shoot off of the latest round of folding and two-screen phones that we’ve seen […]

OnePlus 8T review: Slow and steady wins the race
The OnePlus 8T rolled out this year, refining the already-fantastic OnePlus 8 from earlier in 2020. Last time around really showed OnePlus taking that next step into premium territory, polishing off their rough edges and rolling everything into a package that’s frankly still hard to top. So now we have the iterative improvement in the […]

Apple HomePod mini review: An acceptable Echo alternative
Apple’s HomePod was a bit of a tough sell when it launched in 2018. The $ 350 speaker (now selling for $ 300) was far more expensive than the Amazon Echo or Google Home, and Siri was less capable and intelligent than Alexa or Google Assistant. One thin…

LG Velvet review: This phone’s just okay
The LG Velvet was a strange move from LG. Instead of getting the LG G9 this year, we’ve seen an earlier-than-usual V series phone, and a midrange but premium phone to fill out LG’s lineup. While it’s clear that the Velvet wasn’t designed to replace the LG G9, it tries to tackle an emerging segment […]

Lenovo Smart Clock Essential review: Mostly clock with a dash of smart
Sometimes you see a product that gets announced or released and it leaves you scratching your head over whether or not it should actually exist. I’ll admit that was my original reaction to Lenovo’s original Smart Clock, which mixed a Google Assistant speaker into a bedside clock. It earned a lot of weird points, but […]

Cooper FX Arcades review: Plumbing the depths of lo-fi guitar effects
Let’s get one thing out of the way right up front: Yes, the main conceit of the $ 329 Cooper FX Arcades is a little gimmicky. It’s a guitar pedal into which you stick cards to apply different effects, kinda like a game console. But while the somewhat…

Razer Kishi Xbox edition controller review: Closer to the future of mobile gaming
The Razer Kishi released a few months ago, offering a controller for your mobile phone that takes more than a little design inspiration from the Nintendo Switch.

Red Magic 5G review: A beautifully flawed beast of a gaming phone
We’ve been lucky to spend a few weeks with the rather ostentatious Red Magic 5G gaming phone and besides being rather bold and garish, and perhaps slightly underdone on the software side of things, it’s an incredible phone. The Red Magic 5G has flagship specs such as the Snapdragon 865 processor, 12GB of RAM, and […]

Samsung Galaxy A51 review: Doctor, there’s a fly in this ointment
With the mid-range segment more crowded than ever before, we thought it was time to take a look at a phone that will likely sell in big numbers across the world; Samsung’s Galaxy A51.

The OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro rolled out to a ton of fanfare and excitement. Despite an ever-increasing price tag each year, OnePlus looked to be a beacon in a year of incredibly expensive phones. At $ 699 it’s still not as cheap as older iterations, but it does try and offer more bang for your […]

Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless Review: Style, substance, and incredible sound
After years of using el-cheapo headphones, I’ve come to the realization that a good pair of headphones with excellent noise-cancellation can turn a grueling 10-hour journey into an acceptable, and at times, almost enjoyable experience. Needless to say, a session of chilling in a more comfortable location is also enhanced greatly by listening to music […]

LG V60 ThinQ review: Why bother with the Galaxy S20 Ultra?
The LG V60 ThinQ rolled out earlier than usual this year, replacing what would’ve been the LG G9. We don’t think we’re going to see the LG G9 this year (or ever again, for that matter) but LG hopes the V60 can scratch the itch. We’re checking out LG’s superphone, complete with its Dual Screen […]

Aukey Minima 27W PD wall charger review: Small form, fast charge
Newer phones are charging faster and faster, which is great.
