Intel CPU Shortage to Worsen in 2H2019

13 March 2019 @ 12:30 am

According to a recent report by Digitimes, Intel’s CPU supply shortage will continue to worsen through the 2H2019 as demand for entry level and mainstream notebooks such as Chromebooks and Core i3-based notebooks continue to increase without the proper increase in supply to sustain the growth. Supply shortages in 3Q2018 began impacting major notebook vendors […]

The Best CPUs of 2019

19 February 2019 @ 1:18 am

The CPU, or Central Processing Unit, along with the motherboard is generally considered the most important core component of any PC. The reason for this is that the combination of the CPU and the motherboard determines what other components can be used with the system. As a result, this makes the decision of which CPU […]

AMD Announces Radeon VII Packing Vega II, 16GB HBM, $699 Pricepoint

13 January 2019 @ 7:30 am

At CES 2019, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa SU spoke on several products at their keynote and while many users were disappointed that AMD did not announce a rumored $250 GPU that would give GTX 1080 class performance, AMD did surprise the world by announcing the world’s first 7nm GPU for the consumer market. Rather than […]

Nvidia Announces Support for Adaptive Sync (FreeSync) Displays on GeForce Graphics Cards, What It Means For AMD

In a stunning move from Nvidia earlier this week, the GPU company announced that they would finally begin supporting adaptive sync functionality on AMD FreeSync monitors. Previously, Nvidia graphics cards were only compatible with their proprietary G-Sync system, which is technically a slightly better implementation of adaptive sync monitor technology when compared to FreeSync however, […]

My top 5 phones of 2025 - George

11 January 2026 @ 3:51 pm

So, this is going to be a weirdly motivated list, but hear me out. Finding 5 phones to really like in a year - in 2025 and in our line of work - is no trivial task. Take Ro, for example - he only made it to 4, as did Sagar, and Ivan has 3 different but, let's face it, really same-ish foldables on his 'Top 5' list. So, in a way, I've assembled a 'Top 5' that's not entirely mine - there's one real personal pick, a couple of crowdsourced ones, and two more that are on here because of... tradition. Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold I have no use for a foldable. I've tried living with a clamshell...

Motorola Signature and Razr Fold are official, Week 2 in review

11 January 2026 @ 12:39 pm

We'll start off the week 2 roundup with a phone that feels like a blast from the past - the Clicks Communicator. It has a 4.03-inch display (an AMOLED, luckily), Android 16 with a custom Niagara Launcher, one camera on the back, oh, and a physical QWERT keyboard. The phone weighs 170g and supports swappable back panels withlots of color choices. You'll be able to get one for $499 later this year. Honor unveiled the very iPhone 17-looking Power2. The phone weighs 216g, which is impressive, given that it packs a 10,080mAh battery! The phone is on sale in China, starting from CNY...

Weekly deals: OnePlus 15, Galaxy S25 and Z 7 series, Motorola Razr 2025 series on sale

11 January 2026 @ 9:41 am

Motorola unveiled a new premium line this week with the Signature phone and showcased its first book-style foldable, the Razr Fold. Alas, neither phone is available in the US (and in the case of the Fold, it might not be fully unveiled until the MWC). More competition is always good, so we just have to arm ourselves with patience. We don’t know the US price of the Signature yet, but we do know that it will cost €1,000 in Europe – the same price as the OnePlus 15. Speaking of which, here’s the OnePlus 15 at its full retail price though paired with a $100 gift card to soften the blow. ...

Weekly poll: will you buy the Motorola Signature?

11 January 2026 @ 6:37 am

Motorola has been pretty inconsistent with flagship releases – its Edge series had an Ultra model in some years but not in others. Now it introduces the Signature line to serve the premium market and the first model in it is quite interesting. The Motorola Signature is not an all out flagship, but it costs a good deal less than those – you can pick up a 12/512GB unit for £900/€1,000 in Europe. Something like the vivo X300 Pro will run you €400 more, even the OnePlus 15 costs €1,000. Motorola Signature The Signature is a fairly slim and light device, measuring 7.0mm and...

Oppo Reno15 Pro (for India) hands-on

11 January 2026 @ 3:34 am

We managed to snag a quick hands-on with the new Reno15 series during Oppo's special global launch event. This is a quick look at the Indian Reno15 Pro, which will retail as the Reno15 Pro Max in some other regions. To avoid confusion, the Indian Reno15 Pro is a 6.78-inch phone, while the Indian Reno15 Pro Mini (a 6.32-inch model) is referred to as the Reno15 Pro outside of India. Here's the lineup in India - you have the Reno15 Pro Mini on the left (called Reno15 Pro in the rest of the world), then the Reno15 in the middle, and the Reno15 Pro (called the Reno15 Pro Max outside of...

Deals: Poco M8 Pro and M8 go on sale, Motorola Razr 60 Ultra, Pixel 10 discounted

11 January 2026 @ 12:21 am

Poco recently launched the M8 series and it is now available for purchase. Poco is selling the phones at a discount as part of an early bird offer, which lasts until January 14. Meanwhile, the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra, a bunch of Edge 60 series phones, and the Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 9a have also received discounts. The Poco M8 Pro comes with a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, whereas the M8 gets a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel. The Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset and packs a 6,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging support. ...

Oppo Reno15 Pro in for review

10 January 2026 @ 9:22 pm

Oppo unveiled its Reno15 series to the global stage yesterday, and thanks to the miracle of international shipping, we've got the Reno15 Pro in the office and ready for testing! This is the international version, which means it's a 6.32-inch model that corresponds to the Indian Reno15 Pro Mini. We have to say, the Reno15 Pro is a delight in the hands. Compact flagship-style phones don't do too well on the market, but we still love them. Ours is the Dusk Brown model, and it looks classy. There's something Audi A6 Allroad about it, minus the grey plastic mudguards. Nearly the entire...

Qualcomm could return to Samsung for its 2nm chip production

10 January 2026 @ 6:37 pm

Qualcomm's CEO Cristiano Amon made some comments about the company being in talks with Samsung to produce its 2nm chips, although Samsung has since declined to comment on the matter. Either way, this is an interesting turn of events given that Samsung's foundry isn't doing all that well. The last time Samsung produced Qualcomm-designed chips was in 2022, when the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 came out, but it was met with a lot of criticism for its thermal issues. Moreover, the Korean tech giant's foundry didn't meet Qualcomm's requirements in terms of yield, so the US chip designer turned to...

Galaxy S26 series release date tipped, it's about two weeks after Unpacked

10 January 2026 @ 4:25 pm

Late last year, the renowned tipster Evan Blass revealed the potential Galaxy S26 Unpacked event date - February 25, 2026, which at the time seemed far-fetched given that the last two Galaxy S Unpacked events were in late January. Now, we have the market release date as well. One thing is for sure, though: this year's Unpacked event for the Galaxy S series will be significantly delayed, and a source from France claims that the series will go on sale on March 11. Of course, pre-orders will kick off earlier than March 11, but shipments will likely commence on that date. And as...

Poco F8 Ultra teardown video shows better repairability and the tiny subwoofer

10 January 2026 @ 2:17 pm

The Poco F8 Ultra sits atop the Poco portfolio, offering solid all-around performance at a sub-flagship price. But ever wondered what's inside, especially with the built-in subwoofer? Well, the guys at PBKreviews have done a complete teardown showing off the internals, and there are some interesting findings. Let's start with repairability. Previous Poco F generations have been criticized for being hard to repair, but the F8 Ultra appears to have improved on that aspect. Still, it's not the easiest phone repair, especially with the stacked components and plenty of adhesive. Build...
