Sony Xperia Z3 Review
About a year and a half ago (it feels like longer) we reviewed the original Xperia Z and I wasn’t overly excited by the device. While it was a capable handset with a strong camera for the time, I didn’t like some it’s waterproofing compromises.

Breett PB202 12000mAh External Battery Review

I compared the prices against the rated battery size while avoiding those with too-good-to-be-true sizes and questionable reviews. Top of the bang-per-buck chart was this 12000mAh battery for £16.99 from a manufacturer I hadn’t heard of called Breett. A little Googling fo...[Read More]

Turtle Shell 2.0 – Review
Turtle Shell 2.0 – Review With more and more bluetooth speakers being released, we are starting to notice an increase in favouritism towards a less fragile design.
