Xiaomi 17T: Two-minute review The Xiaomi 17T is an Android smartphone with an impressive spec, including prestigious Leica lenses in the camera. It looks almost identical to the iPhone 16 Pro , sharing pretty much the same dimensions and camera design. The bright Violet colorway of my review unit did help to make it a little less anonymous, though. The 17T seems well-made. The materials feel quite premium, but peer closely and you’ll see it’s not quite on the same level as the best phones . It’s by no means flimsy, but it doesn’t quite match the refinement of others. The display is sharp, vivid, and bright — as you would expect from a 1.5K AMOLED. The 120Hz refresh rate makes motion smooth, too. However, shades of black are perhaps a little too muddled, making it hard to discern fine details in dark content. Xiaomi makes much of the Leica lenses in its marketing for the 17T, and on the surface, i...

Jobber is not trying to be everything to everyone. It's a CRM and field service management (FSM) platform built specifically for the people who keep the world running — plumbers, HVAC techs, landscapers, cleaners, and electricians. It makes no apologies for that narrow focus. After putting the platform through its paces in a live environment, I can say it largely delivers on its promise to its audience. Whether it delivers enough value at the price you'll actually pay, however, is a much more complicated question. Jobber CRM: Plans and pricing Jobber's pricing structure is split into individual plans and team plans, and this is where things get complicated fast. In June 2026, the entry point is the Core plan ($49 per month billed annually). For a solopreneur just starting out, it's a revelation. You get basic scheduling, quoting, invoicing , and the mobile app. It's enough to...

House of Marley Smile Jamaica USB-C review In 1976, Bob Marley & The Wailers released Smile Jamaica , an upbeat reggae tune bursting with soul and positivity. And the House of Marley Smile Jamaica USB-C earbuds are aiming to replicate those qualities, boasting a vivid design, and apparently “vibrant sound”. But just how good are these wired USB-C earbuds? Well, at $19.99 / £14.99 / AU$24.95, I wasn’t expecting anything magical, but there are a lot of major positives to discuss. So, here’s what I made of my time with the Smile Jamaica USB-C. To begin with, I have to talk about the design of these wired in-ears. As soon as I took the Smile Jamaica out of the box, I was struck by their unique, enticing build. They’re made of a few materials, including recyclable aluminum, renewed PeT, and bamboo. Not only does this blend look fantastic, but it’s a lot more sustainable than a huge proportion of t...

JCB Toughphone E10: 30-second review First, let's clear up the JCB angle. JCB, the well-known digger company, does not make phones. The brand is operated by a company called JCB Phone, which was formed by the Genuine Case Company and has been licensed to use the JCB name since 2023. So what you're buying with the JCB Toughphone E10 is a Chinese ODM phone wearing a very well-known British industrial badge, sold through a UK company that holds the licence. That might be irrelevant to the potential purchaser, but I’m a details guy. Other than the not-so-subtle rebranding, what we have here is a ruggedised, low-specification Android 15 phone that uses a MediaTek Helio G36 SoC, comes with 4GB of RAM, and only 64GB of storage. But you can expand storage with a MicroSD card up to 512GB. The G36 uses 2023 SoC technology, but it's derived from the P35, which appeared first in 2018. As a result...
