About Alex Gear & Tech
Alex Gear & Tech is a UK-based tech review channel and website with a 200k+ subscriber following on YouTube. I'm Alex, I make down-to-earth reviews, comparisons and buying advice for smartphones, audio, tablets, Mac, PCs and smart home gadgets, with a focus on real-world testing rather than spec-sheet hype.
Driven by passion for tech. Backed by industry experience.
Who is Alex?
Originally from Brazil and now based in England, I cover the tech people actually buy — for a global audience, with the added perspective of real UK pricing, availability and context you won't always get from US-based reviewers.
Why trust these reviews
Before going full-time as a creator, I spent over 20 years as an enterprise technology architect, working with companies including Dyson, Three UK and CBRE.
That background is why this channel focuses on how technology really performs in everyday use — and occasionally lets me go a layer deeper than a typical review, whether that's what actually changes with a new network standard or how a product is engineered under the hood.
How I review
Every review is based on real-world, hands-on testing over time, not a quick unboxing. Where it's useful, I compare directly against the obvious alternatives so you can see how things stack up. The goal is always the same: help you decide whether something's worth your money.
Transparency
Reviews may cover products that were purchased, loaned by a brand, or sponsored. And I always disclose which. Sponsorship never changes the verdict. My full ethics statement can be found here.
