Elecjet promises a full recharge from 0- to 100% in just 18 minutes, which is incredible when you consider that most power banks of this capacity will take around three- to four hours to fill – even longer when used with a slow charger. Power banks have an average efficiency of about 65%, with the best portable chargers hitting 80- or 90%. That means the advertised 5,000mAh capacity is much less when it comes to how much power is actually available to your devices....

The main issue with the MacBook Pro (without Touch Bar) was its lack of USB-A ports – so it may be worth considering how this might affect your workflow.

For years, Google is even running campaigns to replace SMS with RCS. Along with tech companies and the US carriers, everyone is on board for the upgrade....

Honor 6 Plus review: Design & build The Honor 6 Plus is bigger than its Honor 6 sibling, with a 5.5in screen rather than the 5in screen (we’re not sure how Apple will feel about the name, particularly considering that the 5.5in screen size matches that of the iPhone 6 Plus, as do the Silver, Black and Gold colour options). Aside from the size, though, the 6 Plus looks a lot like its smaller counterpart, with a metal band around the edge (which is real metal this time – an improvement over the Honor 6’s plastic frame), a glass back, and the same 7....

Honor Holly review: Price and release date Launched in February, Honor let its customers decide how much the Holly was to cost.
