About clearstone

Your trusted source for independent technology reviews and expert insights, helping consumers make informed decisions in the ever-evolving world of technology.

Our Story

Founded with a passion for technology and a commitment to transparency, clearstone began as a small team of tech enthusiasts who recognised the need for honest, unbiased product reviews in an increasingly complex technology landscape.

Based in Waterford, Ireland, we've grown from reviewing a handful of smartphones to becoming a comprehensive resource for technology reviews across multiple categories. Our team combines technical expertise with real-world testing to provide reviews that matter to everyday consumers.

What sets us apart is our commitment to independence. We purchase our own review units, maintain strict editorial guidelines, and never compromise our opinions for commercial gain. Every review reflects our genuine experience with the product.
