Honor Holly (by Huawei) review

Honor Holly (by Huawei) review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Honor Holly price may drop below £99 but even if it doesn’t, it’s an affordable Android smartphone. It might not look stylish and have brick-like proportions but it does offer a large HD screen, dual-SIM slots, expandable storage and good battery life. Software is not great with Emotion UI 2.3 and there’s no 4G support though.

ESET NOD32 review

ESET NOD32 review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict ESET NOD32 Antivirus is a sound antivirus product with some useful extras, though it’s a bit surprising anti-spam isn’t included in the product. The software is easy to use and doesn’t disrupt the normal function of a PC it’s running on. Technically, it’s a strong contender, without being in the front rank. ESET is a Slovakian company with offices in many countries and has been producing security software since 1992....
