OnePlus might be best known for its phones, but you shouldn’t ignore what the company is doing in the tablet space. The mid-range Pad 3 made a splash when it arrived earlier this year, but now OnePlus is targeting buyers on a stricter budget. An impressive tablet in its own right Arguably, the most exciting is 5G support – this is the first time the technology has ever been available in a OnePlus tablet....

In summary Pixel 10 Pro Fold put through demanding torture test Bends and explodes Also fails extreme dust test The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold foldable phone has been put through a popular stress test, with spectacular results. Google’s latest high-end foldable was recently put through the usual suite of torture tests by YouTube channel JerryRigEverything – and according to the presenter, it failed “catastrophically”. While there were no great surprises on the scratch tests (Gorilla Glass Victus 2 cover screen, aluminium frame, and alarmingly soft internal screen), the phone reacted rather alarmingly to the physical bend test....

Samsung’s new wearables may look similar to their predecessors, but the tech giant has made various improvements to its flagship smartwatch range. In fact, the Galaxy Watch 7 is the first wearable in its category to hit the market with no less than three major upgrades. And the same things are true of the new Galaxy Watch Ultra , too – both were announced at its big Unpacked launch event alongside many other new devices ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The active noise-cancelling on the Tribit QuietPlus ANC isn’t quite as powerful as expensive rivals, but they still get the job done. They’re comfortable, minimalist and give a good balance of audio levels. But most importantly, they’re affordable. Best Prices Today: Tribit QuietPlus ANC Investing in a pair of active noise-cancelling (ANC) headphones would typically set you back at least a couple of hundred pounds, which is quite a large investment....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict It’s bigger and bulkier than many desktop chargers we’ve reviewed, but for roughly the same amount of money it offers five times as many quick-charging USB ports and a dedicated power switch. The fastest- and best value desktop charger we’ve seen yet. Highly recommended. Best Prices Today: Tronsmart Titan With a name like Titan, the size of this thing shouldn’t be underestimated. At 292g and 160x81x28mm it’s a beast, and roughly twice the size of the other desktop chargers in our chart ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The game is a real step forward for the series, adding new elements and refining the already good combat system into something really quite special. There is something here for fans of fighting games, and UFC fans alike. It’s a shame that the designers and engineers who made the title, and did such an excellent job, have to live under the shadow of such a disgusting monetisation system that we’ve come to expect from EA....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Expensive and without support for the fastest charging- and recharging standards, there’s still a lot to like about the Veho Pebble Endurance. From its tough splashproof exterior and LCD screen to its generous 15000mAh battery and dual- outputs and inputs, this power bank is in a different class to many of its rivals. You’ll find similarly rugged power banks for less money, however, so keep an eye out for a price drop....

Blockchain technology has become a tech-industry buzzword over the past few months and the buzzing is only going to get louder, as more and more companies announce their plans to get involved with it. For those not involved it can be a hard subject to wrap your mind around as it’s fairly technical, but the core concept is actually quite simple. What is Blockchain technology? The purpose and scope of Blockchain have been put into words beautifully by Marc Andreessen:...

Facebook in particular is really cracking down on this – we explain more below. But it’s not just Facebook where issues lie. Here’s the skinny. Where is this fake news? As well as being found in internet searches (including Google News and Google AMP stories), you will also find them on social networks including Facebook (normal posts and Facebook Instant Articles) and Twitter. The links – either from a search engine or found in a Facebook post or tweet on Twitter – direct readers to the website in question....

While much attention is being paid to the self driving cars of Google and Apple , there is currently another very exciting transport revolution underway. This one doesn’t involve a modern version of Knight Rider though, but instead sees the future of travelling between cities more along the lines of sitting in capsules that are being propelled at over 700mph through a series of large tubes. It might sound crazy, but a recent demonstration of the concept in the desert outside Las Vegas shows that a number of companies are pouring lots of time and money into making the idea a reality....

Mobile connectivity is going through some significant changes at the moment, with the arrival of Wi-Fi 6 and 5G . But what will the new standards bring, and what is Wi-Fi 6 anyway? We take a look at what the technology has to offer. What happened to Wi-Fi 1-5? It might seem that suddenly, out of nowhere, people are beginning to talk about Wi-Fi 6. This may well lead you to wonder why the five previous versions seemed to go completely under the radar....

The introduction of Windows 11 saw Microsoft redesign many of its stock apps, with Settings among the most significant. It’s a streamlined version of the Windows 10 app, aiming to provide all the options that users might want to change on their devices. But Windows 11 still has a separate Control Panel, which offers many settings you won’t find in the main menu. Rather than diving into the confusing menus to find what you’re looking for, why not have them all available at the click of a button?...

After months of speculation, the Tab S8 Series was finally revealed at Samsung’s February 2022 Galaxy Unpacked event. The Tab S8 and S8+ represent minor upgrades over their predecessors from 2020, but the Tab S8 Ultra is a brand-new device. It increases the screen size to a huge 14.6in, introducing a notch for the very first time on a Samsung tablet. How much does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Series cost?...

The world of technology is changing right before our eyes. Case in point: Artificial intelligence is more than just a passing fad, considering how many companies are investing in it, retooling their product offerings, and even redefining their company mission and structure around AI . One massive company that is in the throes of restructuring around AI is arguably the most famous tech firm in history, with apologies to Apple fans....

As the adage goes: all good things must come to an end. That’s especially true in the fast-paced tech world, where great hardware and software can quickly become outdated. It’s why no-one uses the groundbreaking original iPhone anymore, while the value of classic consoles is purely nostalgic. It appears the same can be said of Windows 7. Microsoft’s desktop operating system launched in 2009 and will soon be three major versions out of date, but that hasn’t stopped plenty of people from still using it....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Even, Consistent cooking U-shaped and booster burners Rotating pizza stone Cons No temperature gauge Heavy Requires use of pricey butane, or a propane convertor Our Verdict Witt’s Etna Rotante offers something many pizza ovens don’t: Consistent overall cooking, an extra burner below the stone for crispy bases, and a fast heat-up so you won’t have wait long to tuck in. However, it falls short on guidance, a temperature gauge, and accessories, making it less suitable for pizza newbies....

Xbox One VR UK release date rumours: When will Xbox One VR be announced?
