Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro review: Fitness meets finery

Image
  Quick verdict This Huawei is a perfect choice for those who want a smart sports watch that records all of the sessions they may want, with decent data levels and an indefatigable battery life. And given the materials used in its construction and the design craftsmanship, it's also pretty good value for money. For Materials of luxury Lightweight and elegant Lots of ways of exercise and activity monitoring Heart-rate monitor revised Long lifetime of batteries  Against Bright OLED still has a low refresh rate, Quite simple notification system No Third Party Music Support No contactless services for payment HIIT workout struggles LinkedIn Mail Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Mail (Pocket-lint) - When Huawei first stepped away from Google's Wear OS and went off and did its own thing with the Watch GT, there were a few points that stood out. Huawei promised seemingly impossible battery life from a watch with a full-colour OLED screen. But the device was also surprisingly limited - at lea

Cowboy 3 review: The smartest electric bike ever?

Image
  (Pocket-lint)-The Cowboy 3 is the new iteration of the Belgian startup's striking-looking electric bike-we liked the previous version and it's been in our guide to the best electric bikes for a while. In the US, it's not yet available, but in the UK and Europe it is available. It's an awesome bike, but it's not cheap either. However, the Cowboy 3 may be seen as favourably mid-range, considering the price of certain electric bikes from well-known brands on the market, such as Advanced or even the Brompton Electric. You can also fund your bike via the Ride to Work scheme if you are in the UK. The evolution of the Cowboy e-bike focuses on safety and smart features in the third-gen edition - and there's some impressive tech on display. This might well be the best electric bike you could purchase, really. Design Size: M-L frame only (for riders 170-195cm / 5ft6in-6ft4in tall) Finishes: Absolute Black, Anthracite Grey, Mineral Grey Aluminium frame design with integr

5G review of ZTE Axon 20: Is the under-screen camera the future?

Image
  Quick verdict: As an obscure brand in the West, it may be an outlier, but this ZTE is a nod to the future, demonstrating a compelling under-screen camera, while providing a long-lasting and ample output in a reasonably inexpensive package. It's in the specifics that it often misses the mark - autobrightness modification, frame-like screen bezel, and so-so cameras overall. For Under-screen camera ensures that the screen is interrupted by no notch or punch-hole Decent battery life and total output capacity Software, like some rivals, does not interrupt experience. Inexpensive selling point  Against The love of AutoBrightness for dimming is jarring The under-screen camera is not invisible in that area - it disturbs visual fidelity There are very average cameras The frame bezel detracts somewhat from the very point of the under-screen camera. (Pocket-lint) - When it comes to selfie cameras, phone makers have been getting creative. We got the notch, the punch-hole and the pop-up. Now

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 Sport review: Classy workout 'buds

Image
  Quick verdict The true wireless 'buds' of Bang & Olufsen set themselves apart from the normal crowd by looking and sounding ultra-premium. It also happens that these in-ears are waterproof, functional and sturdy too. It's a perfect mix, and the sound profile can be tailored and the match is great. Read the complete verdict For Premium construction and materials Comfortable and safe fit Great, customizable sound Waterproof enough to cleanly rinse them Case of wireless charging  Against No active noise-can't make noise-can't Really quite price (Pocket-lint) - Think of earphones for sports and there is a certain aesthetic in mind. In most cases, you'll look at plastic buds, mostly brightly coloured or wrapped in a canvas-like material, in the case of on-ears. You'll also see certain vivid colours used to match the colour schemes on running shoes and tracksuits. What you probably don't see is that a pair of buds are always made using typically luxuriou
