By now, most of us have accumulated a fair few gadgets and accessories that need charging at least once every few days.

Selpic P1 – A portable handheld printer with limited uses

Have you ever wanted a portable printer? I'll be honest, I don't think the thought ever really crossed my mind before. What would I use a portable printer for?

TicWatch C2+ Review: New in Name, Old in Spirit

July 20, 2020
The Android smartphone ecosystem is full of household names like Samsung, LG, Motorola, and Google. Wear OS smartwatches, however, don’t have the same brand recognition.

June 20, 2020
If you're anything like me, you probably carry a number of different chargers in your bag at any given time. I talked about that a little bit when I reviewed the RAVPower 61W PD GaN plug and mentioned how it was able to reduce the number of plugs I carried in my bag. Now the...

Citra, the most popular Nintendo 3DS emulator, was officially released for Android onto the Google Play Store last week, and its performance has been at the forefront of the conversation.

AUKEY PB-Y32 and PB-Y24 Power Bank Review – Portable Power for Big to Small
