So, they tell me that I should pronounce Xiaomi as “show me” and indeed, whenever we watch a press release, we hear them say, “Shaw-mee” or “Sho-me”. Now you know. However, apart from our Xiaomi coverage, you’ve probably only become aware of the brand if a friend or …

Last year we reviewed the teeny-tiny Unihertz Jelly Pro. It’s a regular Android phone, but shrunken down to 7.8 x 12.5 x 5 cm with a 2.45″ screen. There’s everything in there that you’d expect. WiFi, GPS, 4G and all the usual apps, but it’s tiny enough to …

Whenever anybody puts “Life” in the name of their product, I somehow think of a Vauxhall Corsa Life. It’s a typically entry-level car with eco credentials. Here though, the new HTC U12 life (with a lower-case “L”) offers a high-end spec for a midrange price. Available in Moonlight …
