When Razer acquired Nextbit in January this year, we had a feeling that they would put that acquisition to good use combining Nextbit’s smartphone engineering know-how with Razer’s own gamer twist. After just less than a year in the making, Razer unveiled their latest smartphone which may be the first decent smartphone ever produced specifically for gaming and content consumption.

The new smartphone, which Razer calls the Razer Phone, looks very similar to the Nextbit Robin, which was Nextbit’s flagship smartphone before the company was acquired by Razer. From there, Razer has made some serious enhancements to the product to make it one of the [...]

To ensure the AR experience is as smooth as possible, ASUS uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 SoC. [...]

Feeling Safe

Over the past few years, video surveillance has become increasingly popular in homes and businesses, and the reason for this is simple. Years ago, installing a video surveillance system typically involved hardwiring every single camera to a DVR and only those who purchased expensive higher end DVRs could then watch the footage on their laptops or smartphones. As you can imagine, this is both costly and impractical especially for an average home or small business owner.

Recently, things are much different thanks to the explosion of the IoT market as new solutions have made video surveillance affordable and easy to setup. As such, today we’ll be showing [...]

Bow to the Sensei

A couple of months back, we reviewed the SteelSeries 7H Fnatic Edition gaming headset and for the most part, we got a good taste of why Fnatic chose the 7H as their officially endorsed product – it was a great headset.

This is why today, we’ll be reviewing another Fnatic endorsed product from our friends over at SteelSeries, the SteelSeries Sensei Fnatic gaming mouse. Whereas the SteelSeries 7H Fnatic Edition gaming headset had some Fnatic only features included with the Fnatic edition of the headset such as the amazing SND Block material used for the earcups, the SteelSeries Sensei also gets you a bit of that special functionality.
