1byone 4000mAh Extended Battery Case for Samsung Galaxy S6 Review

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is an excellent phone but the battery life isn’t that great, I find myself recharging it at least once per day, and more often if I use it more. You could carry an external battery with you, that’s an option and you can always make sure you have a car charger but sometimes neither of those is an option. Today for review I have the 4000mAh Extended Battery Case for Samsung Galaxy S6 from 1byone and it’s just like it sounds, a case with as built-in battery for your S6. Read on to learn more..

44 SD card review: from 4 MB/s up to 209 MB/s

Performance of current SD cards can vary a lot between brands and types, as we have seen in earlier tests. We challenged several manufacturers again and tested 44 cards in 32, 64, 128 and even some 256GB formats.

Secure Digital has grown to become the standard for digital camera storage. Only the very expensive high end cameras feature Compact Flash support and Sony still has quite a few models that use the Sony Memory Stick. SD cards are the standard for most other models however and even some Sony cameras feature SD card support.

When you make the odd picture on your bridge or DSLR camera the speed of the SD card is not of much importance, but what size you can get for the cheapest possible price is. When you are using RAW format for your pictures however the speed of the card becomes more of an issue and you do need high read and write speeds. read speeds are mainly important for transferring the pictures from your camera to your PC, as 50MB/sec compared to 10MB/sec makes quite a bit of difference. The write speeds are important for photographers that want to take a lot of shots quickly in succession, for instance in sports and action scenarios. The buffer of even the most expensive cameras will be full after around 10 shots, and quick transfer to the memory card is essential to keep being able to take pictures. The faster the card in this case the better it is.

ASUS Z170 ROG Maximus VIII Extreme Review

In this review we test the ASUS Z170 ROG Maximus VIII Extreme. Wanna see how the best that ASUS has to offer for Z170 works ? The Maximus VIII Extreme comes with a ROG black & grey design with red accents. Add to that of course the OC Panel and the hippest features of 2015. The Maximus VIII Extreme has the right infrastructure for a truly extreme PC. These motherboards can (well must) be paired with new Skylake series processors. The big brother of the Hero comes with extended looks, AC WIFI, a VRM area that will make you wiggle and all tingly and then a dozen or so other features. It is one of the better Z170 products if you ask me, dressed for success and with added benefits like USB 3.1, multiple M.2 slots and the fastest DDR4 support the product will impress.

A motherboard that promises to deliver a high amount of features and provide that Skylake processor the full infrastructure it needs for a kick-ass gaming PC. Dressed to kill and with added benefits like USB 3.1, multiple M.2 slots and the fastest DDR4 support the product will shock and awe. These motherboards can (well, must) be paired with new Skylake-S series processors. We'll quickly dive into the two most important ones. Skylake Core i5 6600K and Core i7 6700K processors for the desktop platform have been released. We test both processors, yet have separate reviews on each of these processors. A new chip, a new package meaning both of them are Socket 1151. The new series Skylake processors are energy efficient, quite powerful and this needs to be paired with a new motherboard series. For you guys that means the Z170 and H170 range. In this review we test the Core i7 6700K. An unlocked Skylake processor that has four cores and a slim 92W TDP, that is lower compared to Haswell with its 95W TDP thanks to the new and smaller 14nm fabrication process. The quad core CPU has 8 MB L3 cache, and an integrated memory controller that supports both DDR4 and DDR3 memory. The Z170 and H170 series motherboards will all be offered with DDR4 though. For the gaming community two processors are the most important; the Core i7 6700K has four CPU cores with Hyper-Threading, 4.0GHz frequency, 4.20GHz maximum Turbo Boost frequency. Then there is the Core i5 6600K with four cores, 3.50GHz frequency and a 3.90GHz maximum Turbo Boost frequency, both are based on the new LGA1151 socket package. Skylake is the code-name used by Intel for the 14nm processor micro-architecture under development and is the successor to the Broadwell architecture.

HBT+ Shield 700 Case Review

Computer cases are a funny thing in that just about every system needs one and yet they are often the most reused part of any custom computer build. As many of you will know cases come in a variety of price points, sizes and styles with a general idea that eventually a user will find something they like and can afford. On the side of the manufacturer cases are extremely expensive so when they design a chassis they will often create universal components that can be used across their product lines. This helps reduce costs and can sometimes become a limiting factor when it comes to overall design I am usually quick to point this out but rarely make a big deal of it unless the company tries to hide it.

Last month I reviewed the HBT Turbine 700 which is a brand new case from a very new Taiwanese company called HonBonTec (HBT+) . The case was designed to be flashy with a radically unconventional design style that concealed a very conservative and well thought out chassis design.

HyperX Fury 2666MHz CL15 HX426C15FBK2 2x8GB DDR4 Review: Fast and Furious

If current prices are any indication, DDR4 is the new normal. Not only are DDR4 supplies steadily increasing, the prices have also become progressively much more affordable ever since the few months leading to the release of Intel's Skylake CPUs. This also means that the DDR4 market is becoming competitive and the winner in the end is the consumer as … Read more.

iPhone 6S Review

Apple's latest flagship model adds 3D Touch and improved camera tech. Apple has updated its flagship smartphones with the launch of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. The handsets have already been well received by the market, shifting a record 13 million units in their opening weekend - although this record is partly down to the inclusion of sales across China.

We've been testing the iPhone 6S and we're a fan of the new version, although it doesn't add that much to the iPhone 6.

Raijintek Styx Review

With the Styx, Raijintek has a new mATX case in its portfolio, which is made from aluminium as well as steel. Apart from that, this case is very compact but it still offers enough space to install high-end gaming graphics cards as well as coolers whic measure up to 180 millimeter in height. In addition the chassis can be equipped with a number of HDDs and SSDs.

Samsung S32D850T WQHD Monitor Review

Today we are testing a special monitor on OCinside.de that already appears almost too big at first glance. It is the 32 inch WQHD Business Monitor S32D850T from the manufacturer Samsung. Whether this monitor can only let the desk collapse, or really brings the big-screen feeling in the office or home office, we will determine in this review.

SilverStone Fortress FTZ01 Mini-ITX Case Review

Generally, a few months after the Raven version is released, a premium Fortress version – sporting clean lines and a few tweaks here and there – will follow. This was the case with the RV01/FT01, RV02/FT02…well, you get the idea. When SilverStone released their first ITX Raven case – the RVZ01 – it was only a matter of time before the Fortress variant emerged. The RVZ01 was a unique chassis even by Raven standards; how would the FTZ01 manage to maintain that premium Fortress look and feel? Well, wrap it in a unibody aluminum exterior for starters. Follow along with Benchmark Reviews as we see what else has changed in the SilverStone Fortress FTZ01.
