Reviews of Phones
Two weeks ago I moved to the iPhone 8. I've had an iPhone 6s for around a year and a half so it seemed like a good time to make a move. I'm going to have a full review soon but, for now, I thought I'd share my initial thoughts of the phone. I'm also testing it out on the MTN network. I've been on another…
I'm not someone who is all about ‘looking back at the way things used to be’ but Jade’s looking back post on the blog threw me into a nostalgia daze. The post followed me rediscovering my childhood Furby (#90sbabyFOREVER) and came off the back of the new Twitter character limit - which somehow got me thinking about SMSes.

So when the new LG G6 came out, boasting a Dolby Vision screen,…
The Huawei Mate 9 is unassuming. Despite its size there is nothing about it, as it comes out the box, that made me go "oooh fancy". It has a sleek and simple Huawei design with a brushed aluminium finish. It is rather big and similar in size to the iPhone 7 plus but it sat comfortably enough in my hand. Even though I am, for the…
My name is Sam, though I'm also known as Tech Girl and this is my little space on the internet. My friends and I share our love for all things gaming, geek and gadgets here. I'm a South African Esports host and content creator. Links to all my various platforms are here on the blog. I'm a giant nerd, own far too many pairs of Converse and secretly wish I could be one of the X-Men!
