Xiaomi Mi5S Review (In-Depth Video Review)
The Mi5S I would say is one step forward and two back from the Mi5, why? Well, the build quality is slightly better thanks to the more solid feeling full alloy unibody (No more glass rear) But the Mi5S while it gains a new fingerprint reader, faster chipset, NFC and new 12MP Sony IM378 sensor (Same as the Google Pixel) it loses optical image stabilization. Which I believe is a must for any flagsh...[Read More]
Xiaomi Mi 5S Unboxing And First Impressions
Taking a break from the Atom X5 Z8300 tablets (I’m not reviewing anymore until the new Z8X50’s Cherry Trail revisions are released) I’ve ordered a few flagship Chinese mobiles to review the Le Pro 3 from LeEco, Xiaomi Mi 5S and the Mi 5S Plus. Yesterday my Xiaomi Mi5S arrived. Here’s the unboxing video, including an audio test and video test. The Xiaomi Mi 5S’s build ...[Read More]
Teclast Tbook 16 Pro Unboxing And First Impressions
I reviewed the Tbook 16S last week, this is the Tbook 16 Pro version that has no kickstand and uses an ASUS transformer style keyboard. The keyboard is sadly most all plastic apart from the metal supports, it looks metal in the press images and somewhat thinner too. It’s $209 from GearBest, the keyboard is an additional $35. The tablet is solidly built, but I discovered that in suffers from ...[Read More]
Teclast Tbook 16S Review And Rating Online
If you missed the video review on YouTube, here it is below. I’m disappointed in this latest Teclast Tbook 16S model, the biggest issue is the ROM in Android for me, some games like Real Racing 3 just locked up at times, even to the point I had to power the system off and back on again. It felt slow and sluggish at times, performance limited by RAM running at only 1066Mhz and not 1600Mhz. It...[Read More]
Jumper EZBook Air Review Online
My Jumper EZBook air review is now online. The video review is below with some more details, pros and cons with rating here. While I like the weight and size of it being super portable machine, it’s flawed only having a single USB type-c port and 3.5mm (Copying Apple’s Macbook Air) If you’re someone that doesn’t often use USB ports much on a notebook and you don’t min...[Read More]
Teclast To Release An Atom Z8550/Z8750 & 8GB Powered 2-in-1
Teclast’s Weibo just recently posted an image of a Tbook Windows 10 system powered by an Atom Z8550 (The Z8X50’s) are the refreshed slightly faster Atom Cherry Trails chips. It also shows the system has 8GB of RAM. Hopefully it will also have wireless AC. So looks like there will be another Tbook release coming, but it’s great to see it’s not another Z8300 (Finally!) Edit: ...[Read More]
Jumper EZBook Air Unboxing and First Impressions
Jumpers EZbook 2 turned out to be an okay notebook for the price and I enjoyed mine. Which lead me to get this latest model from Jumper,the EZbook Air. It’s 11.6″ with a glossy 1080p screen, it comes in champagne gold only so far. Powered by an Atom X5 Z8300 & 4GB like the Ezbook 2. But the good things are, Intel wireless AC, 128GB eMMC and most metal housing. I say mostly as the s...[Read More]
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13.3″ Core i5 / Nvidia 940MX Review
The larger and more powerful Mi Notebook Air 13 has just recently been reviewed. The 13.3″ Notebook features the same premium build as the 12.5″ model. But instead of s fanless Core M3-6Y30 it’s powered by an Intel Core i5 6200U, 8GB of 2133Mhz DDR4 RAM, dedicated Nvidia 940MX 1GB GPU and 256GB NVMe Samsung SSD. So a big step up in power and in my testing it can even play GTA V w...[Read More]
Teclast Tbook 12 Pro 2-in-1 Dual OS 12.2 Inch Tablet
Another new Teclast release, I spotted this on the new release devices listed on Gearbest. It looks just like a larger version of the Tbook 16 Pro but instead of 11.6″, it’s 12.2″ with a 1920 x 1200 16:10 aspect ratio screen. Teclast claim the thinnest edge of the tablet is just 4mm, and it has thin bezels. Here’s hoping that’s true as the Tbook 16S I’m currentl...[Read More]

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Review Great Mobile For The Price But Not Perfect
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 review. The new sub $200 4G dual SIM king? Xiaomi’s mid to low range Redmi Note 4 packs a bunch for the starting price of $160, you get a lot. A MediaTek 10 core Helio X20 (Antutu score around 88k) a really nice 1080p 5.5″ screen, 16GB to 64GB of internal storage, dual sim, MicroSD support and you even get fingerprint reader security.
