NitroWare.net was given an exclusive hands-on preview of the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro phones before their worldwide unveil in Paris on March 26.This time around, Huawei has outdone itself again with their hardware evolution and technical prowess with attention to in product engineering and silicon design. P30 continues the trend set the past few years with each of the previous P series devices.
Although my first impressions are based on very limited time with the P30 and despite it including some innovative and industry leading features which I will go into detail further in this review, I don’t think the P30 is a slam dunk over its competitors especially the Samsung S10 series but don’t write it off just yet.
Our preview experience was intended to give us some hands on time with the new camera system as well as having a look and feel of the device. We were not able to run any benchmarks or do any in depth analysis or testing of the device due to conditions of the preview and the available time. Huawei is not fully ‘at fault’ here, it just reality that one of the main uses of a modern smartphone in western society is photos and videos. We are all reliant on our phone camera it so it would be pointless to deny a primary use of a modern smartphone.
Huawei themselves are advertising the phone with the following words “REWRITE THE RULES OF PHOTOGRAPHY, Brighter, wider and closer. See the world from new perspectives. Discover the unseen surprises and turn them into your treasured memories. The HUAWEI P30 is pushing the envelope of smartphone photography.”
READ ON to see my sample photos taken with the P30 Pro against the P10 Plus and the moto g6+ in a variety of photographic scenarios as well as my thoughts on the new Huawei flagship that many commentators are raving about...

"They call it the COBRA" - D-Link’s most bonkers DSL modem router yet.
Here D-Link’s latest flagship networking router is previewed and compared it to its Triple band AC3200 Wi-Fi predecessor the Taipan and competitors from Netgear the Nighthawk X8. The benefit of Triple-Band Wi-Fi is explained as are the basic specs around Wi-Fi speeds and numbers are summarised. Plus we have a look at how both the Cobra and the Taipan work internally.
Announced this week is D-Link’s latest flagship DSL modem router (also known as a DSL Gateway) aimed at the early adopters, enthusiast and prosumer audience. This is a very high end unit device not for the faint at heart.
Named Cobra, the DSL-5300 continues the snake themed branding D-Link has applied to its flagship modem routers. 2014 had the DSL-2900AL Viper which was a dual band unit supporting ADSL2+ with AC1900 3x3 Wi-Fi , then we had the DSL-4320L Taipan in late 2015 which was Triple band unit with VDSL2+ and supporting an aggregate of AC3200 Wi-Fi speed over triple brands (600 Mbps for N, 1300 Mbps for 5Ghz AC Band A, 1300 Mbps for 5 GHz AC Band B). Also the AC1600 Python VDSL2 Modem Router
The latest update is the Cobra which enhances the feature set of the Taipan to support MU-MIMO diversity for the Wi-Fi, extra antennas, faster speeds as well as an additional Ethernet port. Also a triple band device, the Cobra now supports 1000 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, and 2167 Mbps both each on 5GHz A and B.
In this article I will compare and contrast these routers, providing an overview of the key differences between them, what to look out for and consider when shopping for a high end modem/router. Since I discuss four triple band Wi-Fi routers, I explain what Triple Band Wi-Fi is and why you may need it. My more technical readers will be interested in the device teardown where I show the main chipsets. For both technical and semi casual audience A summary and overview of Wi-Fi 'speeds and feeds' is provided to help decode the various numbers and acronyms associated with Wi-Fi devices which can be confusing even to those in the networking industry.

The latest update to NVIDIA’s GeForce Experience software adds some long waited and validated features but adds a huge ‘gotcha’ to the way graphics drivers will be made available going forward. Gamers will now be able to stream games between their devices at 4K 60 FPS with 5.1 audio as well as live stream to both twitch and Youtube at 1080p 60 FPS with the upcoming beta. Additionally, continued availability of Day 1 game-ready drivers is promised with a caveat. Controversially,, Gamers will now have to sign in with an email address to get first and exclusive access on game day.
This article will overview the new release and examine all angles of NVIDIA’s new direction, for and against.
