Infinix Note 11 Pro first look!
It’s a LOT of hardware for the cash! BIG screen with 120Hz. BIG battery with a low power SOC. BIG camera numbers. Let’s take a look at a phone that has the BIG numbers for not a lot of cash! Continue reading “Infinix Note 11 Pro: Budget Beauty”
There’s an interesting thing happening in phones, a quiet trend of product differentiation. Likely a factor influenced by component shortages, and at the same time, a more competitive market than many enthusiasts might assume.
In the gadget lab, I have two phones from Vivo. They’re both called “X70 Pro”, but one is a “Pro” and the other is a “Pro+”. There are numerous small differences between the two phones, but one significant difference, SOCs from two completely different chip suppliers. The Pro+ is using the best Qualcomm has to offer, a Snapdragon 888+. The Pro is equipped with the best chip available from MediaTek, the Dimensity 1200.
Vivo has accomplished something impressive, that these two phones “FEEL” like members of the same family. That said, we do get to take a look at how these kinds of hardware differences can impact performance.
Here are the Vivo X70 Pro and X70 Pro+ by the benchmarks! Continue reading “vivo X70 Pro+ and Pro By the Benchmarks: An Exercise in Restraint?”

It’s TWO reviews in one!
I liked my last keyboard and mouse, but working on a smaller desk now, I need to clean up some space. Even TWO less cables can make a hilariously noticeable difference. Spending some time with the SK653 wireless keyboard, and the MM831 mouse, we can also chat about using gaming gear which doesn’t SCREAM “gaming gear”.
I love the clacky keys! Continue reading “CoolerMaster cleaning up my desk! SK653 Wireless Gaming Keyboard and MM831 Wireless Gaming Mouse”

Olive Union has released a new pair of wireless earbuds, but the hook here is improving noise reduction to help people hear important sounds when surrounded by noise. Next gen “hearables”, but how do these compare against normal earbuds with ANC?

Face computing is hard, but audio makes it a lot easier. The Vue Lite build true wireless earbuds into a pair of glasses or sunglasses. Tiny speakers play your audio and phone calls. But most importantly, I think they look pretty good!
