The Xiaomi Mi Watch leaves mixed feelings in our review

The Xiaomi Mi Watch leaves mixed feelings in our review

Not everybody's darling. We got some ideas from our readers for the review of the Xiaomi Mi Watch. This sometimes led to different results depending on whether the wearable is connected to an Android device or an iPhone. The differences aren't only related to Alexa. Especially when it comes to the health parameters, it's not all good news.

More colors. The Find X3 Pro is Oppo's answer to the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra; therefore, it offers a high-end smartphone that breaks new ground especially in terms of the camera. Some improvements have been made compared to the predecessor, but our review also reveals some minor setbacks.

84% Acer Spin 3 SP314: Stylish convertible convinces in review

Quick-change artist. The Acer Spin 3 convertible is half laptop, half tablet. Is the device a lazy compromise in both categories, or is the compact 14-inch device a cheap deal with its Intel Core i5-1035G4 and Iris Plus Graphics G4 paired with 8 GB of RAM at around 800 Euros (~$954)?

Lenovo Tab P11 tablet review - Starting at 250 Euros: The cheapest 11-inch tablet is also an all-rounder

82% Lenovo Tab P11 tablet review - Starting at 250 Euros: The cheapest 11-inch tablet is also an all-rounder

All-purpose weapon. Inexpensive and still with good features - many tablets fail at this balancing act, but the Lenovo Tab 11 manages to reconcile these seemingly contradictory terms. Naturally, its entry-level price of 250 Euros (~$298) requires some trade-offs. Nevertheless, the 11-incher performs well in the test and can cover a fairly broad range of applications.

HELM Audio DB12 AAAMP portable headphone amplifier hands-on

Audio magic on the go. The HELM Audio DB12 AAAMP portable amp is a well-built and compact solution for Hi-Fi headphones. The portable THX Certified amp increases the volume and clarity of audio, resulting in a noticeable improvement in quality. However, at US$180, the prohibitive cost will price out all but the most dedicated audiophiles.

73% Samsung Galaxy A02s smartphone review – Korean smartphone with a WLAN problem

Affordable entry. The current entry-level model from Samsung's Galaxy A series is the A02s. For barely 165 Euros (~$197), the manufacturer includes a triple camera system and a quite large battery. However, there are a lot of competitors, including other inhouse models, and there are also some really basic problems.

5G thanks to trade-offs. The Galaxy A32 5G offers a large 6.5-inch display, a big battery, a modern MediaTek SoC, and a quad-camera setup. However, it can't always outperform its predecessor, and it offers a narrower set of features than some of its rivals.

Lighter than a carton of milk. The 14-inch ExpertBook weighs less than 1000 grams (2.2 lbs) and gets a significant boost in performance this year, thanks to a new Tiger Lake chip. Moreover, the Asus laptop now comes with Thunderbolt 4 instead of Thunderbolt 3 and the display has gotten brighter. But did the new version get only the reasonable upgrades or is there something to be critical about? Read our extensive review to find out!

Great convertible, aging processor. Like the HP Dragonfly or Spectre series, the EliteBook x360 1040 G7 is one of the sleekest laptops for its size and category. Internally, however, the old Intel 10th gen Comet Lake-U processor is holding back the system from performing as well as most of the latest Ultrabooks in the market.

83% Oppo Find X3 Lite smartphone review: Fast mid-ranger with a 90 Hz OLED panel and a 65-watt power adapter

New player. Oppo is still a relatively unknown player in Germany, but it's already number 4 in global smartphone sales after Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi. This means that the Chinese manufacturer is doing quite a lot right from the customer's point of view. We will find out in our review whether that is also the case with the Find X3 Lite, the smallest model from Oppo's new flagship family.

Convertible for creatives featuring a GeForce GTX GPU. Acer sells laptops for creative professionals and engineers under the "ConceptD" label. In order to reach this target group, they have specialized in convertibles with powerful components - which is also the case with the Acer ConceptD 3 Ezel CC314. Unfortunately, our test left us somewhat disappointed due to the rather inefficient CPU.

The RTX 3060 does a good job. The Schenker Core 15 brings all modern computer games smoothly onto the responsive screen (WQHD, IPS, 165 Hz). In addition, there's an NVMe SSD, 16 GB of RAM (dual-channel mode), and decent battery runtimes. The new Control Center provides extensive control over the APU and GPU performance.

But this does not come cheap. Those who indulge in the smartwatch will probably have large ambitions.

RTX 3080 versus RTX 2080 Super. Schenker updated its XMG Pro. The new model is less similar to the older and thicker Pro 15 and more akin to a refresh of Schenker's ultra-thin Key 15. It features an RTX 3080 instead of the previously installed RTX 2080 Super but is it actually any faster? And what other benefits does the new model offer over the old one?

77% OnePlus Nord N100 smartphone review: 200-Euro phone with premium features?

Inexpensive northern lights. OnePlus's most affordable phone so far is naturally expected to set standards in its class again. However, you have to do without many OnePlus features for just under 200 Euros (~$242), and the competition is strong. Is the Nord N100 still recommendable?

Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 Twin Edge Review: RTX 2080 Ti performance for everyone

Fast and almost as furious. The NVIDIA RTX 3070 stands to offer RTX 2080 Ti-levels of performance at less than half the latter's MSRP. The Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 Twin Edge brings all the goodness of the Ampere GA104 GPU in a compact 2-slot form factor. In this review, we evaluate the performance of the Zotac RTX 3070 Twin Edge and see if it really lives up to the claim.

Preview Acer Nitro 5 in 15- & 17-inch: Ryzen 5000H for gamers

A lot of processor, a lot of graphics? Ryzen 5000H accelerates and overtakes many a gaming machine with an Intel chip. However, the configuration with a responsive display and mass storage options is also appealing. We tested two pre-production models.

88% Gigabyte Aero 17 HDR YC Laptop in review: Debut for Nvidia Ampere

Old case, new GPU. Judging solely by the exterior of the Aero 17 HDR, you would think that not much has changed. But the device features a new GPU under its hood. We tested the best configuration available, equipped with a GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop.

Lenovo ThinkPad P73 Review - Mobile Workstation with Core i9, RTX 4000 and 4K

88% Lenovo ThinkPad P73 Review - Mobile Workstation with Core i9, RTX 4000 and 4K

Full performance after BIOS updates. The ThinkPad P73 has been around for a while, but Lenovo had to deliver some BIOS updates before the device could use the full potential of its components. Neither Intel, nor Nvidia, introduced major updates in the last 18 months, so the P73 is still up to date in the beginning of 2021.
