  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
Even though Sony manufactures some great high-end smartphones, it seems to be struggling to create compelling mid-range smartphones. The Xperia 10 represents the company's 2019 attempt of entering the mid-range market with a unique smartphone. What makes it unique? Well, the Xperia 10 is the only mid-range smartphone that offers a display with a cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio. Is that enough to make people buy it? Find out more about

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
Most people do not associate the terms "gaming mouse" with "vertical mouse." While a vertical mouse is often sought by people who have health problems, like repetitive strain injury (RSI), or by those who want to prevent such issues, gaming mice are attractive to gamers, and to people who use their mouse for high-sensitivity, high-precision workloads. Trust GXT 144 Rexx is a vertical mouse that was designed for gaming. When

Gaming chairs are all the rage nowadays. They come from different brands, with crazy names, lots of colors, and features. Gaming chairs also tend to offer health-oriented features like lumbar and neck cushions, which are useful to everyone, not just gamers.
