How we tested

Every techie gift here has been tested extensively by us. We’ve listened to them; snapped pics with them; typed and gamed on them; sat on our bums, for hours, playing FC 24 on them; ran with them on our wrists; brought them out for a ride in the park; cooked with them; cleaned with them; lost and found items with them; and called people from across the world with them. Basically, we can guarantee that everything you find here is top quality.
