IKEA Symfonisk review: Should tech become invisible?
Is it time for technology to take a back seat? When I was young, I had people throng my living room whenever we purchased a brand-new TV as they wanted to check it out, but fast-forward to today and it seems as though new technologies have integrated themselves so well and seamlessly that they are almost invisible within a smart home environment. But is this even meaningful and practical? Also, is this the so-called “ambient computing” that techies rave about? To find out more, NextPit decided to give the IKEA Symfonisk photo frame a closer look.

We reviewed the 5G model that is powered by the Snapdragon 865 SoC in order to understand what this meant and show in this review whether the Galaxy S20 FE is still a good option to consider in 2021 if you are looking for a new smartphone.
