At a Glance Our Verdict The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 was released with much anticipation. Android fans everywhere were hoping it would be a sleeker and much improved device from the Galaxy Tab S2, which is now getting long in the tooth.

The Samsung Gear VR is the most popular virtual reality headset in the world, with more than 5 million units sold (according to Samsung). That’s a pretty staggering achievement, because the Gear VR works only with Samsung Galaxy smartphones (more below). In that respect it is similar to Sony’s PlayStation VR, locked to one kind of device. HTC’s Vive and the Oculus Rift work with any PC, but they require great computational power....

After months of speculation, Samsung has finally launched a cheaper alternative to its flagship flip phone. The new Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is a full £200/$200 cheaper than the regular Z Flip 7, starting at just £849/$899. For a folding flip handset, that’s not bad value, even if the regular Motorola Razr 60 is even cheaper. Samsung’s FE (Fan Edition) line doesn’t exactly have a great track record, with its phones often arriving too late, being too expensive, or both....

Samsung’s next generation of flagships is just weeks away, but to be honest, there’s not a whole lot to get excited about. If the rumours are to be believed, the Galaxy S26 , S26+ and S26 Ultra all look set for relatively minor upgrades. The most intriguing is the confirmed Privacy Screen feature , though that’s set to remain exclusive to the S26 Ultra. However, the entire lineup is expected to get built-in Qi2 wireless charging, following in the footsteps of the Pixel 10 series ....

Shazam! is the latest giant superhero spectacle from DC, and is the biggest sign yet that the company is done with its grim ‘n’ gritty takes on Batman and Superman: this is peak golden age comic book nonsense, and hopefully all the better for it.

Update 13 March 2017: Following multiple reports from backers that they are still waiting for their consoles (expected to ship in October 2016) and have received little communication from the company behind it, Retro Computers, Indiegogo has stopped all further pledges to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega+ campaign. It has also emerged that Retro Computers last year threatened the BBC with legal action in an effort to stop it reporting on this story, with its lawyers suggesting the BBC was “ supporting and participating in a malicious campaign intended to denigrate our clients’ reputation”....

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 is here, bringing with it a raft of new features from boosted AI performance through to enormous 200Mp image processing. But none of that upgraded performance matters without the phones to run it all – so which new phones will run on the Snapdragon 865 chipset ? And when will the first 865 phones come out? Confirmed Snapdragon 865 phones Xiaomi Mi 10 There’s only one phone that’s been confirmed by name to run on the 865: the Xiaomi Mi 10 , which we’re expecting to launch at MWC in February 2020, after the Mi 9 launched at the same event in 2019....

Sonos has followed up this spring’s budget-friendly Ray soundbar with an almost-as-affordable subwoofer dubbed the Sub Mini. The long-rumoured Sub Mini is, as the name suggests, a smaller variant of the company’s full-size Sub speaker. Like the original subwoofer, it’s intended to be paired with the company’s other soundbars and speakers to up the bass and add some oomph to music, film, and games. At $429/£429/€499 the Sub Mini is hardly a budget buy, but it’s a fair bit cheaper than the $749/£749/€849 Sub ....

Korea’s Squid Game TV series may be over, but that doesn’t mean the violent games have disappeared for good. Instead, it looks likely that they will move to the United States. Netflix launched the third and final season of the original Squid Game on 27 June 2027. The story of Gi-hun has come to an end, but the streaming giant has been heavily rumoured to expand the universe by creating another tale about people struggling for big money in a series of gory challenges....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Starlink: Battle for Atlas is a fun, arcade-y revival of the spaceship shooter that’s been filled out with a lot of extra open world stuff – both the good and the bad. The big question mark is how much game you really get if you don’t fork out for the extra toys – but for old-school fans who own a Switch, this could well be the closest we ever get to Star Fox on Switch, and that’s a big sell for some....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Sumvision Psyc Monic Bluetooth speaker provides an unbeatable sound for its affordable £37.99 price tag. Given its sound quality traits, there are very few portable speakers in the world which can provide an incredible sub-bass response whilst also remaining clear through the other sound frequencies.
