Quick mention for our Garry Clark from MeWe and his RedMagic Astra Gaming Tablet YouTube Review hosted over on Average Dad Too which is the new sister channel to the main Average Dad channel. Team members can post videos but Garry will be posting most of the content. He will also be doing written gear reviews for the main Average Dad Store (which specialises in importing phones from the Chinese market). He will be leaving Coolsmartphone to focus on all this, with the aim of making it his full time job. Good luck Garry!
