Review: Arshiner JJRC H20 RC Hexacopter
While this isn’t the first mini-drone we’ve reviewed at Droid Horizon, as it costs around $20 (£15) the JJRC H20 RC “Hexacopter” is probably the cheapest. At this low price can it really be any good? Accompanying this tiny drone inside the cardboard box you get an instruction leaflet, plastic shelled wireless controller, a yellow USB charging cable, a small screwdriver and 6 spare propeller blades...[Read More]

Review: Omaker W4 Bluetooth Speaker
This little Bluetooth speaker hasn’t the longest list of features, but for me what really sets it apart is it’s size. Being a cube that’s just under 2” wide makes it extremely portable, and an optional carabiner clip is included so you can hang it up. While the cube shape isn’t quite as pocketable as a flatter design, you shouldn’t have any issues carrying this little speaker around. The met...[Read More]
Review: Obliq Slim Meta Case for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Obliq aren’t a case manufacturer I’d encountered before, but if their Slim Meta case is anything to go by then I’ll definitely be paying them more attention in future. Available in a choice of gold, titanium or silver colours this is a dual layer case consisting of a black shock absorbing and grippy inner TPU layer and a tough metallic polycarbonate outer shell. The inner layer has been specially ...[Read More]
Review: PNY Phone Camera Lens Kit
Smartphone cameras have got so good that now it’s the only camera I use. However wide-angle or macro shots usually require a dedicated camera – unless you invest in a lens kit like this. I previously reviewed a similar but relatively expensive kit specifically designed to clip onto my Samsung Galaxy S4. It worked really well but now, since upgrading my phone this kit just lies in the drawer ...[Read More]
Review: PNY AD5200 5200mAh PowerPack
PNY have versions of this power bank available in a choice of silver, gold or “gold pink” and 5200mAh, 7800mAh and 10400mAh capacities. I tested out the lowest silver model which is a compact and pocketable device coming in at under 4” long and 2” wide. On one end it has a standard USB 2A output port, a 1A micro USB input port (for charging using the included USB cable), a white LED and a power bu...[Read More]

A black rubber strap extends from the volume dial and loops onto the back for ...[Read More]
Review: [FUSE]chicken Titan M Tough Micro USB Cable
To me Micro USB cables are a consumable product. Maybe I’m overly careless or charge too many gadgets, but I’m lucky if a cable lasts me 6 months. Eventually they go wonky and only work for a few seconds when bent into some weird position. As a result of a Kickstarter campaign, [FUSE]chicken have developed their Titan range of tough cables for Android and iOS and were kind enough to send me one of...[Read More]

The shell of the unit is made from high-quality matt black plastic which looks great and is perfect for coping with the knocks and bumps these charge...[Read More]
Review: LetsSwipeThat Microfibre Cleaning Cloths
Nobody likes fingerprints on their touchscreen or camera lens, and if you wear glasses then you’ll also need a good cloth for cleaning them. Those tiny cloths opticians put in your glasses case seem to be mostly only useful for smearing the dirt around. This inexpensive pack of 5 individually wrapped black cloths have been specially designed for this purpose. Each cloth is embossed with a LetsSwip...[Read More]
