Chuwi Hi9 Android Gaming Tablet Review - Nope

Chinese device manufacturer Chuwi has already impressed in the 2-in-1 form factor business with devices that run Windows, Android, or both, and now the company is looking to expand into an unexplored side of the market that typically requires more than just an affordable mix of hardware and software.

Chuwi stepping into the gaming industry is a rather risky bet, especially because this would involve investing more aggressively in powerful hardware capable of running more demanding tasks.

But the company hopes to achieve a high customer satisfaction rate with the same recipe as before, once again going for more or less modest technical specifications paired with Android.

The Chuwi Hi9, which is marketed as an Android gaming tablet, is the company’s first step towards becoming a gaming hardware manufacturer, despite the spec sheet that’s not necessarily breathtaking at first glance.

In terms of design, the Hi9 is barely impressive. The 8.4-inch tablet ... (read more)

Ticwatch Pro Review – Sub Rosa Smartwatch

If you clicked this review, you either know what Tickwatch is or you’re simply interested in smartwatches and just want to know everything about the devices that are currently up for grabs. No matter the case, there’s a lot to discover in this review because [spoiler alert] the Ticwatch Pro is quite a capable smartwatch that comes with features you totally didn’t expect at this price point. But let’s take everything one at a time to see what this is all about. First, some context. If you’ve never heard of Ticwatch, here’s a quick rundown of how it came to be. The device is made by a company called Mobvoi and based in China. Originally focused on voice recognition software and AI technology, Mobvoi expanded to hardware that could run on such technology. The company includes all kinds of experts that previously worked for tech giants like Google, Nokia, Yahoo, Tencent, and others. So their products are based on the know-how of engineers that have an impressive exper... ( read more ...

TicWatch E2 Review

If you’re looking for a smartwatch running Wear OS, there’s no doubt that you bumped into TicWatch, a series of devices that may not tell much at first glance, but which is golden to connoisseurs. As I said before on several occasions, TicWatch is the creation of Mobvoi, a company that has grown a lot lately to build not just a single smartwatch, but a completely new brand of products that offers an almost unrivaled mix of decent price and high-end features. This year at the CES show, Mobvoi introduced the TicWatch E2 and the TicWatch S2, two models that provide a nearly identical feature lineup, but which come with several goodies of their own as well. While today we’re going to review the TicWatch E2 , we’ll discuss about the S2 several times throughout the review, mostly because the two are very similar in certain regards. However, we decided to review them separately in order to concentrate more on technical... ( read more )

Amazfit Bip Review - Second-Banana Apple Watch

Smartwatches have evolved substantially in the last few years, and despite the criticism this new industry had to deal with when the first models hit the shelves, more and more people discover the advantages of having a smart device on their wrist. Smartwatches are everywhere you look these days. I’m wearing one right now as I’m writing this review, most of my colleagues have one, and sales are continuously going up every year as further companies enter the market. One of the most recent players in the smartwatch battle is Amazfit, a brand that doesn’t say much too many, but which comes with products that are impressive in one key regard: the price. Smartwatches sold under the Amazfit brand are incredibly affordable, with devices that promise no compromises available for less than $100. This is surprising, to say the least, especially because the top smartwatches right now cost at least a couple hundred dollars. First of all, who is Amazfit? In just a few words, ... ( read more...
