Wireless Charging Could Ruin iPhone and Android Phone’s Battery Life: Scientific Study

Wireless Charging Could Ruin iPhone and Android Phone’s Battery Life: Scientific Study

Phones, , , ,

A scientific investigation from the University of Warwick has found that charging your phone by induction could damage  its battery’s lifespan.

The researchers explained that wireless charging requires energy to be transmitted across an air gap, a process that necessarily generates some heat. The fact that the surfaces of the phone and charging pad must be in very close proximity means that the heat exposure will damage the phone’s lithium-ion battery life over time, as they are sensitive to being stored above 30 degrees Celsius.

ASUS ROG Strix Carry Review: A Serious Mouse For Gamers On The Move

Computers & IT, , , , , , , , , ,

This innocent-looking mouse has serious gaming cred

Small, portable wireless mice aren’t usually what people look for when shopping for a gaming mouse, but there have always been times where I was traveling with a powerful-ish notebook and wished I had a proper wireless gaming mouse with me that wouldn’t take up a lot of space in my bag.

Apparently, ASUS thinks there’s enough of a market for gaming-grade mini mice and has released the ROG Strix Carry for people who want to squeeze in a few rounds of DOTA in between meetings.

The Complete Triumph Buying Guide: Every Model, Explained

The Complete Triumph Buying Guide: Every Model, Explained

Motorcycles, , ,

Triumph Motorcycles is widely regarded to be one of the world’s oldest and most iconic motorcycle brands. Triumph began in 1902 by selling sewing machines and bicycles with an onboard motor; over the course of the 20th Century, the company solidified itself in the zeitgeist through racing, TV and film. While the company grew and flourished through the golden era of motorcycling in the 1950s through the 1970s, the company almost disappeared entirely the 1980s due to fiscal problems. Triumph resurfaced in the late Eighties under the ownership of British real estate magnate John Bloor, and has seen continued success since then.

While deciding whether or not you’re willing to jump over to a new lightning-fast 5G plan is a big decision in its own right; selecting which phone will accompany you into this new era of mobile connectivity is an equally tall task.

Despite the fact that 5G is still in its infancy, it’s been one of the hottest talking points in the mobile scene for the best part of a decade now. The fact that the technology is finally ready for prime-time is made all the more exciting by the fact that there are already a wealth of devices ready to put it to good use.

Three Very Different Vintage Watches from a Storied Brand

Three Very Different Vintage Watches from a Storied Brand

Wearables, , ,

The historic watch brand Zodiac has a long and varied history, with some surprising gems on offer in addition to its well known mid-century sport watches. The brand is also going strong today thanks in no small part to rereleases of popular vintage models from its catalog since its acquisition by the Fossil Group.

The Super Seawolf dive watches, the Jetomatic, and even the funky Astrographic, among others, have all made comebacks, and they have helped characterize an image of the company in many watch fans’ eyes as the purveyors of affordable luxury. While remaining true to the Zodiac personality, the below vintage specimens below are each of a totally different style — and each has an unexpected twist that makes it a little more interesting.

2020 Husqvarna EE 5 First Look : Electric Motocrosser (9 Fast Facts)

2020 Husqvarna EE 5 First Look : Electric Motocrosser (9 Fast Facts)

Motorcycles, , , , , ,

Husqvarna has revealed the 2020 Husqvarna EE 5 motocross racer, the first electric motorcycle in the company’s 117-year history. Designed for youngsters who would race a 50cc motocrosser, the Husqvarna EE 5 opens up a new class of competition for youthful competitors.

1 – The 2020 Husqvarna EE 5 puts out massive torque. The 10.2 ft/lbs the EE 5 puts out from 0 rpm puts it between Husqvarna’s 65cc and 85cc two-stroke motocrossers. That means the EE 5 should have some startling acceleration when going up against 50cc two-strokes, depending on how the delivery is tuned. The 6.7 horsepower peak at 3900 rpm is not shabby, either.

Lenovo Ideapad S145 15 review – budget multimedia device with a modern look

Lenovo Ideapad S145 15 review – budget multimedia device with a modern look

Computers & IT, , , , ,

On the bottom end of the Ideapad brand, there is a laptop that is going to target a wide variety of people. It is offered in both a Pentium form and in an Intel Core iteration. However, no matter which option you choose, there is one thing in common – the philosophy about price management.

With that said, the laptop is going to appeal more to students and people that prefer to stay on the budget, rather than go for a flashy notebook. Although it is clearly visible where Lenovo has done the cost-cutting – the plastic body and the lack of a TN panel, we have to admit that the laptop looks quite stunning on the outside.

New Renault Megane RS Trophy & Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR vs Honda Civic Type R Comparison

New Renault Megane RS Trophy & Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR vs Honda Civic Type R Comparison

Cars, , , , , , , ,

Our favourite hot hatch, the Honda Civic Type R, is being chased down by the Volkswagen Golf GTI, as well as the most extreme Renault Mégane RS to date: the 300 Trophy…

It’s common enough for car makers to try to whip up interest in models that are nearing the end of their life by bringing out ‘special edition’ versions. However, in the case of the Volkswagen Golf GTI, these have earned a reputation for being truly special, rather than just cynical marketing exercises. So, this new TCR model – which represents the swansong for the current generation of the hot hatch – has a lot to live up to.

A nostalgic look back at the budget fitness tracker

The Fitbit Flex was a step backwards, for all intents and purposes. It arrived with an ugly rubbery band, provided less accurate step tracking than its clip-on predecessors, didn’t really have a proper display and was bereft of the altimeter admired by owners of the Fitbit One and Ultra wearables.

Digital Storm Avon Review

Computers & IT, , , , , , ,

Digital Storm’s Avon takes center stage with its gorgeous mechanical keyboard and incredibly powerful 9th Gen Core i7 CPU and RTX 2070 graphics card, which you can get for a relatively affordable $1,999. The only things the Digital Storm Avon has working against it is that its 17.3-inch display could be more colorful, and its speakers are annoyingly quiet. However, between its overwhelming power and included three-year warranty, the Avon is a solid overall gaming laptop.

iPhone overheating? How to ensure the heatwave doesn’t ruin your phone’s battery

The summer’s got off to an… underwhelming start here in the UK, but temperatures are expected to shoot up this weekend. But first, a warning from the Fun Police: we’d recommend keeping a closer eye than usual on your mobile in the heat − otherwise you run the risk of permanently shortening its battery life. And if you’ve recently shelled out £1000+ on an iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max, that’s a spine-chilling thought. Here’s how to stop your iPhone overheating.

A wearable legacy: A brief history of Jony Ive creating the Apple Watch

Wearables, , ,

Why the Apple Watch became Ive’s passion project

Well, they did it. They finally set Jony Ive free from the white room. The design guru, hired by Apple 1992 during Jobs’ wilderness years, has announced he’s leaving Cupertino to start his own company, but will be contracting Apple as his first client. Pretty savvy, Ive.

But it might be less great news for Apple. Truth be told, it’s felt like Ive has slipped into the background in recent years, but there’s no denying that this is a big moment in Apple’s history, as the man responsible for designing so many of Apple’s biggest product walks away, taking his unusually large collection of white pants with him.

Best of British: The story and the engine behind the Aston Martin Valkyrie

The engine behind the British sports car-maker’s $4.5m hypercar is gob-smacking… In fact the whole car is…

Cars like the Aston Martin Valkyrie only come rarely, so looking no further for the most gob-smacking car set to be launched in 2020!

The insane Aston Martin coupe is powered by an incredible 6.5-litre V12 built by Cosworth hooked up to a single-clutch automated gearbox designed by Ricardo. In effect a motorsport powertrain for a road-legal, two-seater, rear-wheel-drive hypercar.

Despite not having turned a single wheel in anger in the real world, few cars since the McLaren F1 have generated such rabid interest in the build up to its launch.

Tamron announced it was developing a 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD lens for Sony users back in February, but only now has it made specs and pricing official.

The lens, officially christened the Tamron 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A046), is described by its manufacturer as being “astonishingly small” for a full-frame, large-aperture, ultra-wide-angle zoom. That’s in part thanks to to it having a 67mm diameter filter thread, despite offering an f/2.8 aperture through the entire (albeit modest) zoom range.

With the EE 5G network officially available in select locations across the nation, I grabbed the first available 5G phone, the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G and zipped around London putting that shiny new network to the test to find out what kinds of speeds I could achieve.

At the time of testing, it’s active across six major UK cities: Cardiff, Belfast, Edinburgh, London, Manchester and Birmingham.
