Huawei Matebook 14 2020 - official link
The Huawei Matebook 14 2020 model is a compact powerhouse pc with some awesome features. Just to be clear when I say powerhouse what I mean is you can use this laptop for Photo & heavy Video editing & for some serious gaming. With that said before we get onto what I consider the most exciting features of the Matebook 14... let's take a closer look at the design. ![]() Let's start with the chassis which is made from an Aluminium alloy. The top and bottom covers are also metal and the sides are some form of reinforced plastic. All of which are finished in Huawei space grey color. At its thickest point it 15.9.mm thin. I am big a fan of the CNC milled chamfered edges around the trackpad and power button. It certainly adds a bit of prestige to the Matebook 14. The power button is a 2 in 1 as it is also a biometric fingerprint reader. The trackpad also has double functionality, as just beneath its surface is a Huawei Share tag. With Huawei Share being an exclusive feature for HMS devices. More on that later. The Matebook 14 has a chicklet keyboard with backlighting. They have a good amount of travel & a nice tactile feel and sound. Now check this out, the pop-up camera. I love this feature. I am one of those people who cover the cameras on my computers... And that's why I love this... the camera is 720p HD quality. This camera is specifically for video chat.... and Huawei has built 4 microphones into Matebook 14 to make sure you get the best possible audio when on those live calls. On the topic of Audio, there are dual 2-watt speakers built into the base of the laptop for audio playback. For movies, I'd suggest pairing the Matebook 14 up with some Huawei Freebuds Pro. Now let's address what's staring us right in the face. The 3 by 2 2K Full view IPS display. Thanks to the camera module being hidden in the Keyboard. Huawei has been able to keep the bezels minimal. The 3:2 screen format is nice. Especially when it comes to editing photos and videos, it's always a luxury to have more screen real estate. The resolution of the display is 2160x1440 and 185ppi which makes everything displayed on it nice & detailed & The fact that it can reproduce 100% is the sRGB colour space is big deal too. Again this comes in handy with graphic design and editing. The display also has a very respectable 15000:1 contrast ratio and 300nitts of peak brightness. So viewing the Matebook 14’s screen in bright conditions shouldn't be a problem for most people. So that's pretty much all the external hardware. Now let's take a look at all the inputs and then we'll get into the internal hardware details. ![]() So we have two USB 3.2 ports and a single USB C port which is a hybrid input/charging port. The notebook also has a analog headphone jack which can also be used as an external mic input. So when it comes to ram and rom. There are a few configurations of the Matebook out there...but this one I have here has 256GB SSD storage & 16GB DDR4 ram. There are versions of the Huawei Matebook 14 with the AMD Ryzen 5...but this one has the flagship AMD Ryzen 7. Which is the equivalent of an Intel i7. Although AMD says it's better than the comparable i7 when it comes to graphics performance and also multithread performance. So like I said before this is a powerhouse.. and it is a beast when it comes to gaming and demanding software. So the graphical firepower is certainly up to scratch but all of this is pointless without a solid battery performance. And Huawei does not disappoint here. I sides the Matebooks Aluminium alloy frame is a 56Wh lithium-polymer battery. Which can deliver up to 10hrs of continuous video playback. Now, here's what I consider to be the most awesome features on the Huawei Matebook 14. ![]() So when you have a Laptop that can handle heavy-duty tasks, you need a heavy-duty cooling system. Of course, this is tricky to do in a compact form factor. But Huawei has done something special here with its dual shark fin heat dissipation system. So thanks to Huawei's expertise in mobile tech the motherboard has been manufactured using a 7nm process... which helps when it comes to thermal efficiency.. but they have also added 6 sensors inside the laptop to monitor temperature and adjust the cooling system dynamically & those dual fans have unique s-shaped blades that help achieve 38% better airflow than a traditional laptop fan. Also, Huawei has managed to make these fans incredibly silent...so in my opinion dual shark fin fans...awesome feature. Now, this is big deal and a truly awesome Huawei ecosystem feature. If you own a Huawei smartphone you make use of Huawei share. You can simply drop your phone onto the trackpad and it will automatically connect to the Matebook. From there you can control your phone on your desktop. You can drag and drop files, you can share your clipboard. Essentially making the collaboration between phone and laptop way more seamless. One useful feature is when using the matebook if your phone is connected you can use the quick menu to toggle on the mobile hotspot on your phone.

Xiaomi Mi10t Pro - Official Live Launch
The Xiaomi Mi10T pro is a brand new device from Xiaomi but it's very different from the Mi10 from earlier this year...I think is the android you've been looking for...The Mi 10T pro doesn't carry a flagship price tag but it does have a lot of premium features & it's also constructed from premium materials. It has Front and back gorilla glass 5 , A full metal body, dual speakers, The Qualcomm 2020 flagship chip the SD865 (which is 5G), a massive 5000mAh battery. Also an insane 108mp primary camera in a triple camera array, and a flat display that is a 1080p 6.57" IPS panel... But check this out... it supports a 144HZ refresh rate... That is going to make this screen smoother than a one-liner from Bond himself. Seriously now this refresh rate is a big deal especially when it comes to gaming. We've only really seen 144hz on dedicated gaming phones before...so it's a real killer feature here on the Mi10 T pro. Xiaomi has taken this refresh rate a step further with the Mi10T pros ability to adapt its refresh rate on the fly...I can even slow it right down to 30HZ to save battery....and with its MEMC feature, it can add frames into low frame rate content making lower-quality footage appear to be smoother. This might be one of the best IPS panels I've ever seen on a phone. Contrast is good, brightness & Xiaomi gives you the tools to fine-tune the colours to your taste. When it comes to watching YT videos & gaming the Stereo speakers come into play and very good when it comes to clarity and loudness. Now let's talk cameras...you guys know I like my smartphone cameras & Mi10T pro doesn't disappoint. The primary camera is very prominently mounted on the back like the all-seeing eye of Mordor... There is also a wide and a macro. The 108mp Samsung sensor is something special. When you snap regular photos the camera software will use pixel binning combining 4 pixels into 1. Which quite honestly delivers amazing quality photos... There are a ton of camera features here that you can play around with. Stuff like astrophotography, water painting, and 8K video recording...that's right I said it...8k video recording. Let me know if you want to see how this phone matches up to another device...13mp ultra shooter is a nice to have feature. And the results are, and finally, the 5mp macro delivers very impressive results. You can shoot as close as 2cm away for those incredibly fine details. As you probably already noticed the selfie camera is hidden in the top left corner which many consider being the most unobtrusive locations for a camera cut out. The selfie camera is certainly no slouch either at 20mp. The results are really impressive... It does a really good job of making me look good...and you really can't ask for more from a selfie camera. I know it's common sense but you do know smartphones won't work unless you've got power, and Xiaomi has that sorted with a 5000 mAh battery that can go from 0 to 100% in 59mins with the 33watt charger in the box. When it comes to storage & ram there are a couple of options 128GB or 256GB UFC 3.1 and xxx ram. Unfortunately, there's no expandable memory so choose wisely. Another nice feature here is the incredibly fast and accurate side fingerprint reader...which is also the Mi10T pro power button...you can even set the fingerprint reader to only pick up when the fully clicked down...which is a great feature if a ghost touches become a problem for you. On the software side of things. The Mi10T pro out of the box will be running on Miui 12 which brings back the beloved app drawer...there's also a cool swipe down feature which I like... Swipe down on the right side for settings, swipe down on left for the notifications pane. This Xiaomi Mi10t pro is so stacked full of awesome features.

SUBSCRIBE TO WHATGEAR! SUPPORT AN UNDERDOG UK TECH YOUTUBER ? ? via TECH NEWS & REVIEWS - WhatGear.Net https://www.whatgear.net/technology/xiaomi-smart-band-4-review Word has been leaked via the underworld grapevine that later this year we will see the Sony Xperia 5 ii. The prediction right now is that the release date will be in Q3 of this year. Most likely around the time that the Berlin IFA would take place... but something tells me the IFA is not going to happen this year. Either way, the announcement should be in September. So at first Sony brought back the jack on the Xperia 1ii and now... which I was happy to see & now Sony are bringing back the compact. So the rumours suggest that this phone could be ad small as 5.6 inches on the diagonal, but its more likely to be 5.8". Either way, you slice it the Sony Xperia 5ii will be a compact phone. Sony Xperia will likely stick with the 21:9 aspect ratio which means this thing is going to be very thin at Approximately 65mm if we scale down the dimensions of the Xperia 1ii. Some say just like a Hershey bar... but in my opinion, this could be a very good thing when it comes to one-handed use and overall more grip-able. When it comes to the resolution quite honestly a FHD+ would be quite satisfactory on such a small display. Which of course will support Sonys creator mode colours. I just hope Sony splash out a little cash and try and make it 120Hz OLED panel. If you haven't used one yet, it does make a difference. Let me know in the comments. Would you like to see a 120Hz display? ![]() Now the fact that the Xperia 5ii will be more compact than the Xperia 1ii will result in a slightly smaller battery. But with it needing to power a smaller display combined with Sony's battery care features the battery life should be pretty good. I would expect it to be around 3400mAh. But here are some areas that Sony won't need to compromise. The dual front speakers, the headphone jack, the side-mounted fingerprint reader, Gorilla Glass 6 front and back. the selfy camera, the triple camera array, which means we should get the new night mode and the Sony A9 feature 20fps burst shooting with full AF/AE tracking. Basically, it's going to be maybe the only compact flagship on the market. Inside the Xperia 5ii will be 4 to 6gb of ram & of course the immense firepower of the Qualcomm 865 5G soc. In fact, if they go with the 5.6" screen size. This form factor would make the Xperia 5ii the smallest 5G device on the planet. So while the phone will support 5G in Sub 6 waves it's unlikely it will the fastest form of 5G millimeter wave. As with such a compact device, it's unlikely there will be room inside the chassis for the additional millimeter-wave antennas this year. If your looking for that the Xperia Pro 5G is what you need to know about. Last year Xperia 5 launched towards the end of the year and just missed out on Qualcomm's overclocked SD855+ chip. So there might be a small chance they could time it just right and get the SD865+ in the Xperia 5ii... a small chance And if they could get that...that would be awesome. So long story short if they can keep all the flagship specs mentioned this might be the compact king in 2020. With all that said...the word on the street is Sony have two flagship bullets in the chamber for the end of the year... what do you think the 2nd one will be? Xperia 6 maybe? Now let's talk about the colour variants and finishes. I think Sony gets stuck when it comes to this. So write a comment below and let me know what would be your dream colour & finish is you could choose one. And who knows maybe Sony will read it. I like what Huawei has done with the p40 pro frosted glass. Something like this would be amazing, no fingerprints, it's not slippery... it is so awesome.

Sony NW-A55 Walkman - Price
So listen here real quick. The Sony Walkman NW-A55 is available in five colours this one here is grey. When it comes to the build quality here it doesn't feel cheap. It's all built upon an aluminium milled frame. With the components inside fitted using a special solder containing real good. Sony says this reduces signal loss. As well as that Sony is using gold plated circuit boards & Sony says this allows for low impedance.
![]() The buttons have been upgraded from the Sony NW- A40 series & are now circular. The separation of the buttons and the raised dots make them easy to find even when it's still in your pocket. Here's a cool thing the A55 can do. It can process noise cancellation. However, it will only work with a very specific pair of Sony headphones. The IER-NW500N/NE... in some countries, these are bundled in...unfortunately not here in the UK though. Also, some variants of this walkman do support radio. When it comes to loading music to the device. The Sony NW-A55 supports pretty much any format you can think of. AAC, DSD, Flac and even MQA. Of you will need to own the actual files and there are two ways to get them onto the device. You can load them directly onto the Walkman 16GB storage using Sony's proprietary cable, or transfer them onto a micro SD card and simply insert it into the device. Now on to the operating system. This particular model uses Sony's very own software. Which is designed for just one thing...Music. It's quite a clean and easy to use interface. Everything is very self-explanatory. You can customize the categories, create playlists. Tracks, when played, will show album art as well as touch screen controls. A couple of the highlights of the software is the EQ options & the clear audio plus Sony's very own custom sound Signature. Now when it comes to listening to music with the Sony Walkman. The guaranteed way to get the best experience is via a wire. That's not to say you'll be getting an inferior experience with wireless headphones. This is a Sony and naturally, it does support LDAC and Aptx HD over Bluetooth 4.2. It's a shame it's not 5.0 but hey this thing has been available in Japan for a long time now...so fingers crossed we'll see BT5.0 in the future. With that said BT4.2 is still pretty awesome. The NW-A55 with LDAC is capable of delivering HiRes Audio 24bit 96Khz at 990kbps. To put that into perspective Deezer or Spotify premium streaming services at best only deliver 16bit audio at a maximum of 320kbps...to put it simply...when streaming music you're probably missing a lot of detail in the music...unless you use tidal or something like that. Just like Sony's Xperia’s the Sony Walkman A55 does have the DSEE HX engine for upscaling music combine that with the S-Master HX digital amp & you've got a pretty powerful combination.
