FiiO M23: One-minute review

Yes, your smartphone is a very convenient way of enjoying music while on the go – but anyone who takes sound quality seriously knows that ultimate portable performance doesn’t come from a device that’s more about its camera than its audio quality. That comes from a dedicated digital audio player. And as luck would have it, we have tested some of the best MP3 players currently on the market.

The FiiO M23 arrives as a fairly large, lavishly specified and beautifully constructed digital audio player with a number of technological highlights. It’s ready to power wired or wireless headphones, or to act as a USB DAC in a desktop audio system. And it’s ready to handle anything you care to throw at it – any file type, any file size, any genre of music – with confidence, poise and positivity.

So it’s capable of extracting a huge amount of detail from a digital audio file, and contextualising it on a large, well-defined soundstage. It can punch hard if your music demands it, but never in an uncontrolled manner, and it can give the emotion and attitude in an unaccompanied voice absolutely explicit expression. Aside from some extremely rare operation glitches, it’s hard to lay a glove on the FiiO M23. Know this: it’s the real deal.

FiiO M23 review: Price and release date

Released March 2024
Priced at $699 / £649 / AU$1,249

The FiiO M23 digital audio player is on sale now, and in the United Kingdom it goes for £649. American customers will have to hand over $699, while in Australia you’re looking at something like AU$1,249 if my understanding of exchanges rates is correct.

The M23 has some competition at this price, of course – not least from FiiO itself. But it’s Astell & Kern that is its most obvious rival: the May 2023-release A&K A&norma SR35 goes for $799 / £799 / AU$1,299 while the company's June 2022-issue A&K A&norma SR25 MKII still sells for $749 / £699 / AU$1,099. And frankly, either option has plenty to recommend it. So it’s game on…

FiiO M23 review: Features

Twin AKM DACs
THX AAA 78+ amplification architecture
5500mAh battery

Space on the internet is, to all intents and purposes, limitless. But I reckon I could make quite a big dent in its capacity if I discussed every one of the FiiO M23’s many, many features at length. So it’s probably best to just get an overview – I promise it will let you know just how serious FiiO in general, and the M23 in particular, is…

The M23 is powered by a big 5500mAh battery that’s good for over 10 hours of playback from a single charge. A dual-mode fast-charging system means extreme fast-charging speeds (up to 30W) are available if the battery level is very low – and once the battery approaches its fully charged state, the M23 switches to a more sedate fast-charging state. The result of this arrangement, says FiiO, is much-improved charging times with no impact on the long-term health of the battery.

Internal memory is a just-about-adequate 64GB, and a microSD slot on the bottom of the player will accept cards of up to 2TB – which means you should be able to load a lot of big hi-res files as long as you invest in a microSD card. Obviously, the M23 will support your favourite music streaming service(s) as well as storing content on its local memory. Like all FiiO digital audio players, the M23 uses an amended version of Android as an operating system; Android 12 in this instance. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor makes the FiiO is fast and responsive in its operations, and some careful reskinning means the OS doesn’t eat into that internal memory too much.

Digital-to-analogue conversion is handled by a pair of AKM DAC chipsets – the AK4191EQ and AK4499EX operate in tandem, keeping the digital and analogue stages entirely separate and utilising ‘DWA routing’ technology to keep the signal-to-noise ratio to a bare minimum. And they allow the M23 to deal with digital audio files of almost every type (including MQA) up to a resolution of 24bit/384kHz and DSD256.

Amplification comes courtesy of FiiO’s latest refinement of the popular THX amplification design. Taking the THX AAA 78 (which it uses in its very competitive M11 Plus and M11 Pro models) as a starting point, FiiO has finessed the architecture to the point that it’s now called THX AAA 78+ – and can, in theory, offer more power with minimal distortion and even greater precision.

These are the headlines and hi-res music chops where the M23’s features are concerned. FiiO is understandably pleased with and proud of its unified hi-fi audio architecture, its bespoke Digital Audio Purification System, its four-stage 20-rail power supply, its 28 high-capacity polymer tantalum capacitors, and lots more… but surely you get the point by now: FiiO has never been anything other than painstaking and extraordinarily thorough where its digital audio players are concerned, and the M23 has enjoyed the same sort of engineering effort.

Features score: 5 / 5

FiiO M23 review: Sound quality

Direct, deft and engaging sound
Dynamism and insight to burn
Mildly and very occasionally glitchy

There’s an awful lot of positives associated with the way the FiiO M23 goes about resolving and delivering digital audio files. So for no other reason than contrariness, I’ll start with its very occasional operational foibles.

The M23 will sometimes pause, at random and without any user input. It happens very, very rarely, but not so rarely that you wouldn’t notice. And even less often it feels the need to chop into the first half-a-second of a digital audio file, starting playback just fractionally further forward than 0:00 – this seems to happen, on the odd occasions that it happens, when listening to some newly cued-up content, never when a playlist or an album is in progress. It’s hardly a dealbreaker, but equally it’s unlikely to be what you’re expecting from your shiny new digital audio player.

And with that out of the way, I can talk about all the many, many ways the M23 is an impressive-sounding machine.

In every circumstance, and with every type and size of digital audio file, the M23 sounds delicate yet muscular, assertive yet subtle, lavishly detailed and vaultingly dynamic. It seems perfectly willing to engage with any type of music you care to listen to, and is even prepared to tolerate downmarket sub-16bit/44.1kHz content if you absolutely must. It seems basically impossible to throw it out of its positive, confident stride.

A 24bit/96kHz FLAC file of Big Swimmer by King Hannah makes the point in fairly unequivocal style. The M23 sound is open and organised, with a carefully neutral tonal balance and a deft way where integration of the frequency range is concerned. There’s tremendous dynamic and harmonic variation to the strum of the unaccompanied guitar during the intro, an absolute stack of detail both broad and fine to the idiosyncratic, close-mic’d vocal, and appropriate crunch and bite to the second guitar when it joins in with the deep, textured bass. The recording sounds absolutely unified, the obvious result of performers responding and reacting to each other, rather than of individuals doing their own thing. It sounds like a performance, a demonstration of sonic togetherness.

Switching to a DSD64 file of Les McCann’s profoundly swinging I Can Dig It allows the M23 to show what it’s got where rhythmic expression, low-end fidelity and midrange expression are concerned. And it’s safe to say the FiiO has got more than enough – it communicates in the most articulate way, punching through the low-frequency information while keeping momentum high and keeps a close eye on the brilliance of the percussion that can easily get out of control in less capable hands. And again, the sense of engagement, of performance and of unity, is absolutely tangible.

And it’s worth noting that while FiiO offers a good amount of end-user adjustment – using the touch-screen you’re able to adjust the EQ frequency point, gain and bandwidth, and fine-tune the response curve to suit your preferences – the changes to the overall sound it’s possible to make are modest. At its heart, the M23 knows what it wants to sound like – which is, it turns out, not a bad thing at all.

Sound quality score: 4.5 / 5

FiiO M23 review: Design

Stainless steel or blue titanium finishes
137 x 76 x 18mm (HxWxD); 299g
5.5in 720 x 1440 display

At 137 x 76 x 18mm (HxWxD) and 299g the FiiO M23 cannot be described as ‘portable’ in the same way your smartphone is ‘portable’. It’s properly well made, of course, from tactile and overtly upmarket materials, and is finished to an extremely high standard - and those pointed edges that might otherwise damage your pocket-linings or the inside of your bag are smoothed off by a protective silicone case that comes with the ‘blue titanium’ finish. If you prefer the ‘stainless steel’ finish that’s available as an alternative, it’s supplied with a leather case that does a very similar job. But either way, there’s plenty of the M23.

The front of the player is taken up almost entirely by a 5.5in display. It’s bright and crisp, as its 720 x 1440 (18:9) resolution suggests it should be, and there are plenty of options regarding font size, brightness and so on to be investigated in the player’s ‘settings’ menu.

Design score: 5 / 5

FiiO M23 review: Usability and setup

3.5mm and 4.4mm analogue outputs; 3.5mm digital coaxial output
Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD and LDAC codec compatibility
‘D-Mode’ battery bypass

Every side of the M23 features a control, an input or an output that contributes to its overall usability. But just because it has a lot of facilities in this respect, it’s never less than logical and quite friendly – and consequently very easy to operate.

On one edge of the chassis there’s a strip of three buttons taking care of ‘play/pause’, ‘skip forwards’ and ‘skip backwards’ On the other there’s a power button - it’s edge-lit to indicate the size of digital audio file the player is dealing with. There’s also a ‘multifunction’ button, the specific function of which is straightforward to define. And in between there’s that volume control arrangement FiiO has become so fond of lately: it’s a carbon-fibre strip/rocker, and you can either slide a finger up or down, or press on either end to make your adjustments.

There’s also a ‘hold’ switch to prevent any unwanted actions being carried out, and a switch to put the M23 into ‘D-mode’. ‘D-mode’ means desktop mode – when it’s switched on, the player is completely powered by an external power source plugged into one of the two USB-C sockets on the bottom, and the battery is bypassed altogether. Which means you can use your M23 as desktop equipment without worrying about the effect you’re having on the battery. The other USB-C socket is for data transfer, and allows the FiiO to act as a USB DAC.

On the top edge of the M23 there are 3.5mm unbalanced or 4.4mm balanced outputs - these sockets can also be used to hard-wire the M23 to an amplifier or what-have-you, of course. The 3.5mm socket is hybrid, in fact, and can also act as a digital coaxial output in case you want to bypass the M23’s DAC circuitry altogether. And there are wireless possibilities too: dual-band wi-fi is on board, and the FiiO can both transmit and receive using Bluetooth 5.0 that’s compatible with SBC, AAC, aptX HD and LDAC codecs in both directions.

As well as the physical controls, of course, there’s that big touch-screen. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor ensures it’s quick and responsive, and the FiiO-ised version of Android 12 allows easy access to as many streaming services or what-have-you as you may require.

Usability and setup score: 5 / 5

FiiO M23 review: Value

Always a tricksy question, isn't it? On the one hand, you can grab an inexpensive MP3-specific portable audio player for a fraction of the price of this hi-res model, if you just want something not your phone. On the other, Astell & Kern's top-tier Ultima models sell for somewhere in the region of $2,399 / £1,999 / AU$3,599.

If you've read (particularly the Features section of) this review, you will have deduced that the sound-per-pound value of FiiO's proposition is high. It isn't the most pocket-friendly player around in terms of its dimensions, but where your wallet's concerned, it's a talented thing for this money.

Value score: 4.5 / 5

Should I buy the FiiO M23?

Buy it if...

Don't buy it if...

FiiO M23 review: Also consider

Astell & Kern SR35
It's a little more expensive than the FiiO M23, but it isn’t difficult to imagine being able to justify the extra expense. This is, as is established Astell & Kern practice, a thrillingly direct and informative listen – and it follows the eccentric A&K design template too.
See our full Astell & Kern A&norma SR35 review

How I tested the FiiO M23

Tested for two weeks
Listened to both streamed and downloaded content
Tested with both wired and wireless headphones

I loaded up my Tidal and Qobuz accounts and I filled the player with plenty of high-res content, from 24bit/96kHz files and up to DSD128. I used elite over-ear and in-ear headphones (see also IEMs) via the 4.4mm and 3.5mm outputs, as well as considerably less expensive true wireless earbuds connected via Bluetooth.

I used it, reader. However serious a product's spec sheet is, if the player is too fiddly to use on my commute it won't be getting good scores for 'usability' now, will it? I investigated its myriad features and listened to a variety of music, for several hours every day for a fortnight. And then, as tends to happen with these things, I had to return the FiiO M23 to its rightful owners and move on…

F1 Manager 24 review – another step up the podium

5:00 pm |

Author: admin | Category: Computers Gadgets Gaming | Comments: Off

Review info

Platform reviewed: PC
Available on: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch
Release date: July 23, 2024

F1 Manager 24 is the third entry in Frontier Developments’ young Formula 1 racing management sim series, and once again it builds upon this promising franchise with some fantastic additions - not least of all the fantastic Create-A-Team mode that lets you add an eleventh team all of your own to the grid.

On-track simulation has seen a notable step up, too. The introduction of mechanical failures means that both you and the AI drivers can suffer devastating setbacks mid-race at a moment’s notice. And on top of that, driver AI - for the most part - does a very good job of replicating real-world driving styles.

While some irksome bugs remain, and the game’s user interface remains largely identical to last year’s entry, F1 Manager 24 is a massive improvement to what was already a compelling strategy experience, and it shouldn’t be missed by Formula 1 and management sim fans both.

The eleventh man

F1 Manager 24’s marquee feature is undoubtedly the Create-A-Team mode. It does what it says on the tin, letting you bring an eleventh team into the 2024 F1 season and beyond. You pick your two drivers, your staff, budget, sponsors, and so on. You’ll also get to define your team’s look with some pretty great livery editors for your car, racing suit, and team logo.

Having full freedom to create a team without any of those silly FIA restrictions of course means that you can get weird with it. My first attempt was a team specifically designed to childishly undermine the Stroll-owned Aston Martin team. I nicked their star driver, Fernando Alonso, and paired him up with F2 star Isack Hadjar. Then, at the opening race at Bahrain, Alonso was muscled off-track by Haas’s Kevin Magnussen, promptly ending his race after a promising result in the third phase of qualifying. This was also my first inkling that F1 Manager 24’s AI might be a little too accurate for its own good.

The crash had left me feeling bitter, so I opted to start over. After all, it was only the first race of the season. So it was out with ‘Aston Fartin’, and in with something more mature. More believable. Something with credible backing from a respectable British powerhouse. Enter the TechRadar Greggs F1 team. With Alex Albon and Nico Hulkenberg at the helm, we became a strong midfield contender that, on occasion, got very close to challenging for podium finishes throughout the season.

Best bit

The Create-A-Team fantasy is exceptionally strong in F1 Manager 24. I really enjoyed building up my team with my favorite drivers, reliable staff and developing car upgrades within a strict budget window and cost cap limitation.

So what goes into creating a team? Well, there’s a robust creation process that firstly sees you picking your drivers and staff including sporting director and race engineers. There’s no budgetary limit here at first, but you will have to be mindful of salary in the season proper; if your staff is too expensive for what your chosen budget allows, that’ll only create headaches for you down the road. One nice touch, though, is that if you pair up a driver with their real-world race engineer, they’ll get a morale boost from having worked with each other in the past.

On that note, I really like that you need to put some careful thought into planning out your team, especially if you’ve selected a small-to-medium-sized budget to start out with. But somewhere you can go buck wild in terms of creativity with no limits is in aesthetics.

F1 Manager 24 has some great and easy-to-use editors for your car livery, racing suit, and team logo. While the car liveries’ layouts and patterns are preset and can’t be altered in and of themselves, you can fully adjust their colors, and apply gradients and different types of paint (metallic, glossy, etc.). The same goes for the logo editor, where you can piece together preset shapes and lettering to create an emblem for your team. Basically, don’t be surprised if you spend upwards of an hour in this initial creation process. And fear not; you’re freely able to make edits to your customizations at any time outside of a race weekend.

Getting Crofty

The on-track experience in F1 Manager 24 is similar to that of the previous entries, but a number of improvements to racing heighten both immersion and enjoyment. In case you’re unfamiliar with the series, you don’t take direct control of your cars as you would in Codemasters’ F1 24. Your drivers will instead race based on the instructions you give them.

As before, your in-race dashboard is split between your two drivers. Both have menus on either side of the screen that let you adjust tire management, race pace, and your Energy Recovery System (ERS) which can help you get the measure of a rival during overtakes. Pre-race, you’ll also need to adjust car setup to your drivers’ liking to improve their confidence and choose pit stop strategies for the race itself.

There are a lot of similarities to the previous version, then, but F1 Manager 24 still evolves the series in some rather transformative ways. For one, you’ll now need to be conscious of the possibility of mechanical failures for your engine, gearbox, and ERS battery. The risk of these increases as the parts wear down from race to race, and they can range from manageable minor faults to major problems that can have you retiring a car.

These mechanical faults can add some great tension to races, not to mention a lot of decision-making: do you ease up on pace to minimize risk at the cost of points? Do you retire a driver to save a crucial part for a future race? Or do you go flat out and hope to make it to the end? To even the odds, mechanical failures can also affect AI drivers, and I found I was often able to squeeze my drivers into points-scoring positions thanks to rival teams’ misfortunes.

One other thing to note is improvements to driver AI. I have no idea if this was intentional, but the AI of certain drivers seemed to be scarily accurate to their real-world counterparts. I’ve already established that in-game Kevin Magnussen seems to maintain his trademark real-world aggression. But over the course of a season, I also witnessed both Alpine drivers collide and take each other out of a race. Twice. Logan Sargeant was often prone to tire-destroying spins. And poor Sergio Perez was largely off the pace compared to his championship-winning teammate, Max Verstappen, over at Red Bull. Such quirks helped races feel very dynamic and alive, and it’s very common for races to change up on a dime thanks to yellow and red flag stoppages.

Lastly, I have to mention the dramatic improvements to team radio. F1 Manager 24 features hundreds of new lines pulled from official race broadcasts. Drivers and engineers will more frequently reference other drivers by name and how far ahead or behind they are. Furthermore, drivers and engineers who’ve worked together can call each other by name. Once again, it’s a great touch that shows Frontier was willing to go the extra mile.

Buttoned up

Overall, F1 Manager 24 is a brilliant improvement on what was already a very strong foundation. Race weekends feel that much more unpredictable thanks to mechanical faults and improved driver AI. Also welcome are the new difficulty options - handy if you want an easier or tougher time of things when it comes to races, budget, and car development. I did note some race-affecting issues over the course of a season, however.

For one, I occasionally ran into a bug during qualifying, where one of my drivers would stay in the garage despite my command to send them on their out lap. As such, they’d effectively be locked in the garage for the remainder of the qualifying session before they could even set a time.

There is still the (thankfully very infrequent) odd bit of behavior with the simulation itself. Cars will sometimes mildly clip through each other instead of colliding - particularly at corners - and some crashes still give the impression the cars are made out of rubber; head-on collisions with a barrier often see the car comically bounce away, for example.

Otherwise, outside of the largely identical user interface that made me wonder if I’d loaded up the wrong game, there is very little to fault F1 Manager 24 on. This is a great example of an annual entry providing meaningful, transformative improvements that handily makes this the best entry in the series to date.

Accessibility

There aren’t a ton of accessibility options in F1 Manager 24, but what’s here is very welcome. The dedicated accessibility tab in the options menu lets you mute background noises during in-race conversations with your crew, and you can switch to mono audio should you prefer. Furthermore, there are three colorblind options (deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia) for the game’s user interface. For streamers, the ability to replace licensed music in the audio tab is also great to see.

Should I play F1 Manager 24?

Play it if...

You want that Create-A-Team fantasy
Being able to run your own F1 team with drivers, staff, budget, and aesthetics all of your choosing is an incredible addition. Plus, the option to race as an existing team is still there for those who’d prefer.

You like especially unpredictable racing
Better AI, mechanical failures, and much-improved team radio make F1 Manager 24 a seriously compelling and dynamic simulation.

Don't play it if...

You’re put off by very hands-on management
You’ll constantly be changing up your race pace and ERS management in-game. It can be a lot to handle and often leads to suboptimal race performance should you fail to keep on top of everything.

How we reviewed F1 Manager 24

I played F1 Manager 24 over the course of a week, giving myself enough time to play through one full season, the interim afterwards, and some of the next season to get a handle on features like driver transfers and board expectations. I played the game on PC with a mouse and keyboard setup, specifically the Corsair K65 and Corsair M65. My rig, which includes an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060Ti, was enough to run the game at maximum graphical settings at a clean 60fps.

Hello Privacy data removal service review

3:07 pm |

Author: admin | Category: Computers Gadgets Pro | Comments: Off

The internet in 2024 can be a dangerous place: hacks, viruses, phishing, and the abundance of data available to data brokers and other entities. In response to these threats, data removal services have sprung up to help your data hygiene.

Over the past weeks and months, we've spent a lot of time with various data removal services to weigh up what works – and what doesn't. As people become more privacy conscious, having the right tools is key.

Tech giants like Apple have made privacy part of their core message to users, and the Cupertino giant has even introduced features like iCloud Privacy Relay to make surfing the web more safe and secure.

Looking to help keep your data sanitised, Hello Privacy is a compelling data removal service option that offers a comprehensive set of features, a free privacy scan, and more. The company claims millions of users of its service.

Sign up to Hello Privacy

We'll get into the nitty gritty below, but Hello Privacy works in three pretty simple steps: searching the web for your data, reaching out to websites to remove the data, and then continuing the monitor the web.

As with every online service, we recommend checking out the full array of options on the market, like DeleteMe, Mozilla Monitor Plus, and Optery, to get a sense of what's out there, and how competitive the asking price of each service is.

How we test, review and rate on TechRadar

Hello Privacy: Plans and pricing

Hello Privacy is one of the simplest data removal services we've encounter when it comes to the payment tiers.

First off, there is a free tier, which is pretty limited but gives you a general sense of how the interface works and performs a scan of the web based on your email address, name, and other basic information.

And then there's the $9.99 per month tier (billed at $8.33 when on the annual plan), offering actual data removals from hundreds of website and more powerful features that we'll get into below.

That's it. Hello Privacy really keeps things simple, and we kinda appreciate that: a lot of its rivals offer a huge array of tiers with different prices (plus annual plans), giving and taking certain features based on the plan.

There are also plans available for corporate clients, with details on request. It's hard to say how much these will cost and compare them to rivals.

The best internet security suites for 2024

Hello Privacy: Basic features

Like all data removal services, the primary function of Hello Privacy is to scan the web for your personal data and remove it, either by reaching out to each data broker or website or by using human agents to do so.

The service protects the following data: Full name, age, gender, birthday, phone number, current address (and past addresses), the names of family members, email addresses, social media profiles, and arrest records.

We found the scanning process to be pretty straightforward, and actually nicely quick in comparison to some rivals that can take multiple hours or even days.

Our overarching feeling is that Hello Privacy is an extremely simple service. While the free tier is naturally limited, the paid tier offers basically two functions – to scan and to then remove – and that's pretty much it.

One nice touch is that Hello Privacy offers a pretty extensive amount of opt-out guides that work separately from using the platform. Each data broker, for example OKCaller, gets its own entry and set of removal instructions.

Overall, Hello Privacy is definitely on the more "basic" end of the spectrum.

The best VPN service in 2024

Hello Privacy: Advanced features

The consumer service might be on the basic side but Hello Privacy has a pretty well-featured setup for enterprise customers, including the usual data removal services, the ability to delete old accounts, and social media cleanup.

There are dark web monitoring services for both consumer and enterprise that we appreciated, and in our testing flagged a fair amount of data breaches where email addresses and so on had featured in leaks.

In terms of enterprise, Hello Privacy lets companies add its privacy features to proprietary products and protect employees from having their data leaked. These tools can be integrated into products with a revenue sharing agreement with Hello Privacy via its API and White Label web portal.

Hello Privacy says Fortune 500 companies uses its services, but doesn't say how many. There are various customer statements on its website.

The best antivirus software in 2024 for PC

Hello Privacy: Support

Hello Privacy is owned and run by BrandYourself, a company that helps with reputation management and offers a few different services. The street address is located in New York City and Pennsylvania.

The company offers the standard set of emails for support, as well as blog, although it hasn't been updated since 2022. As we mentioned above, there are extensive and helpful opt-out guides available on its website.

Responses to the email were pretty fast in our experience, and we had no issues.

The best data recovery software of 2024

Hello Privacy: The competition

As Hello Privacy offers a more barebones set of features, we definitely recommend checking out its rivals like Privacy Bee, IDX, and Kanary.

We found that DeleteMe, established in 2011, was one of the best services on the market, both for its longevity but also its range of features. Similarly, Optery has been around for a long time and proven its dependability and trustworthiness.

During our testing, Mozilla Monitor Plus also stood out as it is backed by one of the most well known companies in privacy space, Mozilla, which makes the Firefox browser. Data removal services naturally have a lot of your data, so choosing a company that will never sell that data is essential.

To help make the right decision, we definitely recommend spending some time reading TechRadar's reviews of data removal services and scrolling the websites of each. If you have a specific use case, such as protecting a family member, or a tighter budget, it can't hurt to see the full range of options.

Best web browser of 2024

Hello Privacy: Final verdict

Hello Privacy, a data removal service run by reputation management company BrandYourself, is definitely on the more lightweight end of the spectrum compared to its rivals, offering only very basic options even on its $9.99 per month plan.

The service is functional and worked in our testing, so there is no issues with that, but other services offer a far wider array of features that users may appreciate, both in terms of consumer and enterprise versions.

The UI is pretty basic, which is either a good thing (making it easier to use the service) or a bad thing (for power users), and there are few settings to play with.

Getting a monthly subscription (perhaps with a six month check-in) does make a degree of sense, and $9.99 is on the cheaper end of the spectrum, but we think anyone looking for a really well-featured data removal service would be disappointed with Hello Privacy.

Oppo Reno 12 Pro review: it takes on the Google Pixel 8a with gusto

Oppo Reno 12 Pro two-minute review

With its latest mid-range Android phone, Oppo seems to be going after Google’s latest affordable camera phone the Pixel 8a with a similar range of smart AI photography features. And it’s a great attempt, with some solid magic eraser action and a few other cool tools, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The Oppo Reno 12 Pro is the latest entry in Oppo’s middle tier of smartphones, the Reno range, which sits below the top-end Find mobiles and above the A line. The Reno family offer mobiles at middling prices with some impressive features but with corners cut, and generally only the even-numbered options launch in the West.

I tested the Oppo Reno 10 when that came out just under a year prior to the 12 series, and the newest member of the line comes on leaps and bounds thanks to its improved camera sensors (and faster charging). It’s a shame that Oppo has ditched the curved-edge look of the Reno 10 series though, which makes the phones much more comfortable to hold.

Sitting just above the Oppo Reno 12, the Pro distinguishes itself from its sibling and from many other mid-rangers in one key way: it has a telephoto camera lens for zoom photography.

This camera hardware brings huge benefits to the photography potential of the Reno; you can take better portrait, macro and long-distance pictures than on any similar-priced rival thanks to the presence of a zoom camera.

If you want a great camera phone that doesn’t cost as much as the iPhone 15 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S24 or OnePlus 12, the Reno 12 Pro will be a blessing. Even the Pixel 8a doesn't have a telephoto lens.

The signature selling points here, though, are the AI photography features. While top-end mobiles have had these for a while, it’s taking time for them to trickle down to mid-rangers in any serious way, but the Reno performs admirably in this department. It’s great at removing background people from your photos, whether it’s vanishing a lone wanderer or bigger crowds, and replacing them with a background so realistic you’ll forget which image is real.

It’s slower to use than the Pixel alternative, but that’s not the end of the world. And I’d say this is one of the best Pixel 8a rivals for people who don’t want a Google phone or want a zoom camera on their mobile.

The Oppo charges quickly, lasts for ages, and feels pretty snappy for gaming. Its display is big and attractive, while being fairly easy to use one-handed. Best of all, you’re getting all these features at a really competitive price.

It’s not the perfect phone though, showing some signs of its mid-range positioning. I was frustrated by how many pre-installed apps (bloatware) clutter up the phone when you first turn it on, making your first 15 minutes a game of ‘weird-knock-off-app-whack-a-mole’ as you try to delete them all. The design also feels a little cheap, even though it emulates the two-texture Pixel back on certain color options.

Even with those issues I can recommend the Reno 12 Pro as one of the best mobiles at its price, especially if you’re looking for an affordable camera phone that won’t break the bank. And with the possibility of software updates bringing improvements to the AI, the handset could prove to be a real rival of the Pixel 8a in the future.

Oppo Reno 12 Pro review: price and availability

Released in UK and AU in June 2024
Costs £499 / AU$999 (roughly $640) for sole variant
Different versions of mobile in different regions

The Oppo Reno 12 Pro has seen a few different releases in different parts of the world, and of slightly different phones too. The western version of the mobile, which I tested, was announced in mid-June 2024.

You can buy the phone for £499 / AU$999 (roughly $640) cementing this firmly in the mid-range phone bracket. Oppo generally doesn’t sell its smartphones in the US and evidently, that’s unchanged with the Reno.

There’s only one version of the phone available in the UK, with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, though a reduced-storage model is available in other regions. Oppo’s website also sells one color, even though it offers a different one on Amazon.

At that price, you can see why I compared this mobile to the Google Pixel 8a – that costs $499 / £499 / AU$849, so it’s a really close rival. Other mobiles at this rough price point include the iPhone SE, Samsung Galaxy A55 and Xiaomi 13T.

Oppo Reno 12 Pro review: specs

The Oppo Reno 12 Pro has roughly mid-range specs, and here's what we're playing with:

Oppo Reno 12 Pro review: design

Big but thin and light
Plastic body feels cheap
Three color options but depends on region

If you were to pick up the Oppo Reno 12 Pro without knowing what it was, you might confuse it with a Moto or Nokia phone — it gives off budget ‘vibes’. This is mostly down to the plastic frame and back of the body, the latter of which has a two-texture partition that closely resembles a Google Pixel a phone of yore.

Measuring 161.5 x 74.8 x 7.4mm it’s wider than a Pixel, though it’s nice and thin so it won’t weigh you down like a really big phone will. On that topic it weighs 180g which isn’t much for its size – the first time I picked it up I was surprised as I expected it to be heavier.

No 3.5mm headphone jack in sight — there’s a USB-C port for all your connectivity needs instead. The power button and volume rocker are both on the right edge of the device, well within reach for people with average-sized hands.

On the back of the phone, the camera bump protrudes slightly from the panel; it doesn’t stick out so far that I’ll get caught on the side of your pocket as you slip it in.

The screen houses an under-display fingerprint scanner and it worked reliably, although if I’d last used the phone on an app that requires a horizontal orientation (for example, a game), the scanner would appear at 90 degrees to where it should, oddly.

The phone is available Space Brown (black), Sunset Gold (rose) or Nebula Silver (pinkish silver) hues, though depending on your region not all options may be available. I tested the former which is why I know it’s black and not brown.

An IP65 rating ensures that the phone is protected from dust and fine particles, as well as water splashes like rain or an accidental hit from the garden hose. It won’t stand up to immersion in water though, so don’t drop it in, say, a bath.

Design score: 3 / 5

Oppo Reno 12 Pro review: display

6.7-inches with 1080 x 2412 resolution
AMOLED display shows punchy colors
120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling

The Oppo Reno 12 Pro screen clocks in at 6.7 inches diagonally, so it’s a nice big phone — a hand-stretcher for sure, but big too for your Netflix or gaming needs.

The resolution is 1080 x 2412, or FHD+, the same as you’ll see in almost every phone save for the cheapest or priciest rivals. It’s the resolution that most apps output at, so you don’t really need more pixels anyway.

The display refresh rate hits 120Hz, which again is pretty standard for most smartphone in this day and age. It ensures that motion feels nice and smooth when you’re scrolling around the menu, and on supported apps it has the same effect.

A few extra specs make sure that the screen displays vibrant colors: it uses AMOLED tech and supports HDR10+, with a color gamut spanning a billion colors and a fairly high max brightness of 1,200 nits.

Display score: 4 / 5

Oppo Reno 12 Pro review: software

Android 14 with Oppo's ColorOS laid over the top
No confirmed number of software updates
A huge number of pre-installed apps

And here I was thinking the bloatware infestation on Chinese Android phones was going away: when you boot up the Oppo Reno 12 Pro it’s chock-full of pre-installed apps. There are big names like Netflix, Facebook and TikTok, games I’d never heard of in a folder titled ’Must Play’, countless Oppo-made apps that don’t have an obvious function and even apps titled in Chinese characters that I just don’t understand.

It’s hard to feel like a phone is ‘yours’ when, upon first booting it up, you’re met with an array quite like this.

It’s a shame, too, because under the layers of tacky bloatware ColorOS (Oppo’s own Android fork) is decent. With the Reno 12 Pro you’re getting ColorOS 13.1 by default, laid over Android 14, though Oppo has been quiet about how many Android updates the phone will get.

There’s a wide range of customization options for things like font, always-on display, the layout of the quick settings menu (the swipe-down one) and the edge lighting when you get a notification.

This quick settings menu has a pretty easy-to-understand layout, more so than on most Android forks, so you can easily toggle whatever function you want quickly. The phone also has an app drawer so by default, your phone’s main menu pages look relatively clean.

Software score: 2.5 / 5

Oppo Reno 12 Pro review: cameras

50MP main, 50MP telephoto and 8MP ultra-wide cameras
50MP selfie camera rounds out the suite
Magic eraser AI tool is useful for spritzing up pictures

Oppo named one of its first Reno phones the ‘Reno 10x Zoom’ before promptly dropping telephoto cameras from the series; well zooming is back and better than ever in the Reno 12 Pro.

I’m getting ahead of myself; the main snapper is a 50MP f/1.8 unit with a few bells and whistles like PDAF (for quick focusing) and OIS (which compensates for your shaky hands).

Pictures taken on the main camera are nice and bold and bright. Maybe they lose a little more detail in darker areas than I’d like but the vibrancy of colors more than makes up for it. Focusing was a little more scattershot than I’m used to with PDAF though and I found myself jumping into the Pro app once or twice just to have better control over it. Overall, though, this is a nice camera that returns pleasing social media-ready pics.

Its 50MP companion is the f/2.0 telephoto lens, which supports 2x optical zoom — that’s not quite the 5x of the optical zoom but it’s still a breath of fresh air given how few mid-range mobiles include zoom cameras at all.

When analysing my camera samples to write this section, I kept needing to refer to the metadata to remember which were the zoomed-in snaps – this is to say that they look great, missing on loads of the tell-tale signs of other phone camera zooms like grain, washed-out colors, a lack of dynamic range or a different color profile than the comparable 1x image.

While 2x zoom is the optical limit you can go up to 5x hybrid or 20x digital zoom, and pictures taken on the latter actually look decent. You could easily use some of the 20x snaps I took on social media – I know because I did.

The third rear camera drops the resolution considerably. It’s an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera with a 112-degree field of view — as you can imagine pictures are a little lower-res than on the main camera, so you’re missing some quality, and they are a little less vibrant too. This lens can be used sparingly and situationally and ignored most of the rest of the time.

We jump back up to 50MP for the f/2.0 front camera, so you can expect high-res selfies.

Selfies look bright and detailed, with fairly realistic-looking color replication. Jump into Portrait mode and there’s mostly (though not always totally) accurate bokeh background blur (sometimes I lost some hairs). However the default beautification is very zealous about smoothing over your skin so I’d recommend playing around with it a bit.

Oppo has been putting the Reno 12 Pro’s AI photo features at the forefront of its marketing, in a clear attempt to rival the offerings Google includes with its Pixel phones. According to the marketing, it has tools to remove unwanted background elements of photos, save aspects of a snap as stickers, open closed eyes in selfies, add clarity and upscaling to objects or completely change a selfie into a different art style or location.

I say ‘according to the marketing’ because the current version of the software as of my testing of the mobile (July 2024) only has the first two… at least, as far as I could find. Maybe they’re hidden deep in menus but I did a lot of searching to find them.

The smart features present are pretty smart, though, as long as you’ll forgive them being a little slow to use in certain circumstances. Magic eraser is easy to use and you can select individual objects to delete or a ‘mass erasure’ option that identifies all humans in the background. It’s really accurate too.

Equally accurate is the replication part, so when you remove a person from your picture, the phone is great at identifying what should be there and filling in the blanks. Even if a person straddles different backgrounds, there’s no problem.

Beyond the smart features, you’re getting the same features that most modern mobiles have: Pro, Portrait, Night, Full-Res, Slow-Mo, Time-Lapse round out what you’re used to.

In terms of video, you can record up to 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps on the front or rear cameras; don’t expect 8K recording here.

Oppo Reno 12 Pro: performance and audio

Dimensity 7300 Energy provides middling power
12GB RAM and an impressive 512GB storage
Stereo speakers plus Bluetooth 5.4

The power in the Oppo Reno 12 Pro comes from the MediaTek chipset it uses, called the Dimensity 7300 Energy, which as the name suggests focuses on energy efficiency. Alongside the non-Pro model, this is the first phone to use the chipset.

In the Geekbench 6 benchmark tests, the Reno returned an average multi-core score of 2,005, which is the kind of lower mid-range score that you’d expect to be associated with a phone at this price point – it’s not exactly blazing power but it’s enough for normal tasks.

That score is reflected in the gaming power of the phone – it could handle most normal titles like Call of Duty: Mobile and PUBG Mobile quite well, but there were the occasional bouts of lagging or slow loading that gives away that this isn’t a top-power phone.

The mobile comes with 12GB RAM which handles your everyday tasks, and I never found the phone slow when using social media apps, playing around with the camera app or scrolling through menus. That’s paired with 512GB storage, which is a huge amount for a phone at this price point. There’s no expandable storage but with 512GB space at your fingertips, you might not need it.

On the audio front, there’s no 3.5mm headphone jack, so you’ll have to use the USB-C port and an adaptor for wired audio. Wirelessly, you can use the Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity to pair headphones or earbuds, and there are also stereo speakers on the top and bottom of the mobile. These are positioned well enough that I didn’t find myself covering them when holding the device landscape.

Performance score: 3.5 / 5

Oppo Reno 12 Pro review: battery life

Long-lasting 5,000mAh battery
Phone lasts at least a day and a half
80W wired charging is pretty fast

On paper, the Oppo Reno 12 Pro’s 5,000mAh is big but also pretty standard for phones at this price; it’s rare to see mid-range mobiles with any other size of battery.

However in the field (ie, in testing), I was pretty surprised by the Reno’s lasting power. I’m used to phones like this having battery life’s of roughly a day and half, but the Reno comes closer than most at turning that ‘half’ into something like ‘two thirds’ through normal use.

In more handy terms, it meant that I could indulge in long gaming sessions without having to worry about the battery running too low for me to use the handset for the rest of the day.

Charging is fast too, at 80W, which will top you up in no time. Oppo says that it’ll power the phone to full in just under 50 minutes, but I had enough charge to last me a full day of use in about half an hour of charging.

The Reno 12 Pro also offers reverse wired charging, so you can plug a cable into the phone’s USB-C port and then into another gadget to power it up. It’s not fast, but it’s a useful way to keep your smartwatch or headphones powered on the go.

Battery score: 4 / 5

Oppo Reno 12 Pro review: value

The Oppo Reno 12 Pro has a few rough edges, but they’re all in the areas where it tries to outstep its bounds. Looking at what you’re getting for the price, the Reno offers great value for money.

For a distinctly price you’re getting a display, camera array, battery and charging department and design that feels better than you’d expect at the cost.

None of the Reno 12 Pro’s weaker areas are any worse than you’d expect for the price either; bloatware is annoying but the Oppo is far from the only mobile to have it, and while the design is uninspired, you have to pay twice as much for a really good-looking mobile.

Value score: 4 / 5

Should you buy the Oppo Reno 12 Pro?

Buy it if...

You want an affordable camera phone
A zoom camera? AI smart features? Vibrant scene optimization? The Oppo has it all, making it one of the best cheap camera phones I've tested.

You need a long-lasting battery
The Oppo Reno 12 Pro lasts longer than most other 5,000mAh battery phones I've tested, probably thanks to the efficient chipset, which is a blessing for people who aren't always near a charger.

You need lots of storage
With a default storage space of 512GB, the Oppo Reno 12 Pro ensures you won't need to buy an SD card for extra space.

Don't buy it if...

You need blazing-fast processing speeds
The Dimensity 7300 Energy is fine for most tasks, but passionate gamers or people who need blazing-fast power will find it's not enough.

Bloatware annoys you
Even compared to other low-budget Android mobiles, the Oppo Reno 12 Pro has loads of pre-installed apps that you'll need to delete.

Oppo Reno 12 Pro review: Also consider

If you're split on whether or not to buy the Oppo Reno 12 Pro, here are some other mobiles you might want to consider.

How I tested the Oppo Reno 12 Pro

Review test period = 2 week
Testing included = Everyday usage, including web browsing, social media, photography, video calling, gaming, streaming video, music playback
Tools used = Geekbench 6, Geekbench ML, GFXBench, native Android stats

The testing period for the Oppo Reno 12 Pro was two weeks, which began with product testing (hence there not being many of my apps).

Over the testing period I used the Reno like my normal phone: taking pictures, streaming music and videos, contacting people on social media, and playing lots of games. The testing period fell across a holiday so I got to take the phone out and about on a few trips.

I've been reviewing smartphones for TechRadar for over five years now, including using the original series of Reno mobiles and plenty more since then, as well as rivals across the mobile market.

Branch Softside: Unboxing & first impressions

Right out of the gate, this box was pretty heavy. I wanted to see the fabric material and the leather, so I snagged one of each, and both boxes were shockingly weighty given how small the chair is overall. The deconstructed chair elements were well packaged and preserved, without any creases or indents from a misplaced flap or an accessory box. Everything looked great when it came out of the box.

Assembly as a whole was simple in concept, though since the arm resets are added where there is padding already, those were a bit difficult. I ended up having to put a bit of pressure leaning into the chair with the armrests and then lining up the screws. Once I got each screw started, I was able to use the tools to tighten them down to finish assembly.

The Branch Softside Chair looks great, is comfortable, and uses fantastic materials. The cushion is nice and supportive while still surprisingly comfortable, and the adjustments for height and tilt are smooth and logical.

I've tested far more than my fair share of office chairs. I have many lightweight, black, minimal, maximal, bulky, and high-quality chairs. I just now had a simple, clean leather chair that looks great, even if it's in a shared space and not my office 24/7.

Branch Softside: Design & build quality

Specs

Dimensions: Mid back: 27.5”W x 27.5”D x 33”-36”H; High back: 27.5”W x 27.5”D x 37.5”-40.5”H

Weight: 41.0 lbs

Materials: Fabric, vegan leather, or leather; multi-density foam; chrome or powder-coated steel base

Warranty: 5 years

As I briefly mentioned, I grabbed a vegan leather (canyon color) and a fabric (overcast) chair. Both material choices are fantastic and look great in their way. I love that the darker fabric goes with the darker, moodier spaces, like my office, or it can also blend away in most spaces as "just another chair."

However, if you want a multipurpose, comfortable chair in a bright color, there are also options, such as the sunflower yellow color or the light bone color. These are sure to make a statement. The leather and vegan leather pieces look refined and luxurious. I love how my Canyon vegan leather Softside looks, so much so that when people come over, I am happy to grab this chair and have it be another seating place in my living room for those who don't want to sink into my couch. Regardless, the leather material has a premium feeling and is comfortable, cool, reasonably durable, and high-quality.

These chairs are comfortable for all-day use and great for the office or your home office, especially if you are looking for something to fit your workspace rather than an ergonomic chair aesthetically. The Branch Softside chair is a fantastic middle ground of function and flair.

Branch Softside: In use

I've comfortably sat in the Softside for an entire day of work. Yes, it is not the most ergonomically correct chair, but it's still comfortable for most. The integrated lumbar support promotes proper seating position without forcing it. The height and tilt adjustments are excellent and not overly complicated, helping me easily adjust when needed. So far, I have used this chair almost entirely with the armrests on as it looks better, but knowing that if my future workspace needs an armless chair for whatever reason, I can easily remove these and still have a fantastic chair is excellent.

This chair has been fantastic to use and have around as I do not feel I need to hide it or rationalize it for when it is visible to guests. I can enjoy this chair in my workspace and living space and utilize it for many different use cases.

Branch Softside: Final verdict

This differs from your chair if you need something to help with back pain. However, for most, if you are looking for a comfortable chair that looks fantastic, the Branch Softside Chair is for you. It stands out for its combination of comfort, design, and functionality.
