Samsung Galaxy Watch Active Review

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch is often considered the only truly capable rival to Apple’s Watch, and while I don’t think this is necessarily accurate, there are several reasons many people embrace this idea.

First of all, Samsung is one of the companies that invest aggressively in wearables, and the Galaxy Watch itself is living proof in this regard.

Second, the South Koreans are trying to stay close to Apple with their very own innovations, like the rotating bezel that Samsung has used on several smartwatches already.

And third, Samsung developed its very own wearable platform for smartwatches and other devices, and this does nothing more than show the company is here in the long run.

Positioned as an Apple Watch rival, the Galaxy Watch isn’t necessarily an expensive gadget, but it’s not affordable either. And because customers no longer seem to be interested in spending big on electronics, Samsung had to adapt.

This is how the Galaxy Watch Active came to be, with Sam... (read more)

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. [ORIGIMG=2] In terms of design, the Hi9 is barely impressive. The 8.4-inch tablet ... ( read mor...

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 ...

Doca Magnetic Wireless Car Charger for Samsung Phones and iPhone Review

Doca is a Chinese company that most people barely heard about, and its activity is mostly focused on building chargers and power banks for mobile devices. And while many of the cheap phone accessories built by Chinese firms leave a lot to be desired, here’s a little product built by Doca that’s really worth a look at. Using a generic huuuge name that pretty much describes its purpose, “QI Wireless Car Charger Mount Holder, DOCA Mobile Cell Phone Air Vent Magnet Car Cradle Charging Holder for iPhone X iPhone 8/8 Plus Galaxy Note 8 S8/S8 Plus S7 Edge and Others Qi Enabled Phones,” this accessory can charge your phone wirelessly - obviously if the phone itself supports wireless charging - without taking too much space on your dashboard. As I’ve said when I reviewed the other car charger from Doca , every little inch on your ... ( read more )
