At a glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Amateur is an action-fuelled ride that sustains a good level of suspense but lacks a satisfying punch in its final act. It’s also hard to believe that the lead, Charles, wouldn’t have achieved his aim with all the knowledge and tools at his disposal. Best Pricing Today James Hawes’ spy-thriller The Amateur is an action-packed ride that sustains a good appetite for suspense throughout its fairly straightforward plot, as a grief-filled man sets out to hunt down his wife’s killers....

If you struggle with low energy during the winter months, it could be seasonal affective disorder (SAD). SAD sufferers tend to experience restless sleep, lethargy, and low spirits – all caused by the decrease in light levels during the winter. But a good SAD lamp can help to ease the symptoms. Even people without a SAD diagnosis can benefit from a light box. Dr Victoria Revell, an associate professor at the University of Surrey and sleep researcher, spoke at an event hosted by Lumie to explain why the winter months are hard on us....

Kids spend an awful lot of time glued to their phones, tablets and other screens. Social media, games and videos are so addictive that it can be difficult to get them to switch off and put down those devices without arguments about why they should be allowed to use them for longer. Of course, limiting the amount of screen time is only one of the problems parents face. There’s also plenty of inappropriate content on social media and the web in general which you almost certainly don’t want your kids exposed to....

The bad news: it’s against Netflix’s terms and conditions to do so. Netflix does not want you to use a VPN to access region-blocked content, and because of that it actively blocks VPN servers. It has become a cat-and-mouse game that even the best of VPNs can have trouble keeping up with. If you try accessing Netflix with a VPN server that has previously been banned, you may see a message that reads: “You seem to be using an unblocker/proxy” and access will be denied....

Whilst Apple’s WWDC 2022 event was brimming with exciting news including iOS 16 , a new MacBook Air , the M2 chip and more, there were several announcements that really made our heads spin. Apple likes everyone to think that it’s at the forefront of technology, but some of the ‘new’ features coming to its devices lag so far behind the rest of the tech world, they made us ask “did that really not exist before?...

If there’s one thing to say about Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 5, it’s that it doesn’t look all that different to the Galaxy Watch 4. It sports broadly the same design and straps – albeit in new colour combinations this time around – in the same 40mm and 44mm casings. Of course, that’s not to say there’s nothing new about the Galaxy Watch 5. Longer, better, faster, stronger Samsung has made strides in the durability department, with a sapphire crystal display that’s not only scratch resistant but 60% stronger than that of the Galaxy Watch 4....

Oral-B’s latest addition to the iO line has been available in the US for several months. You can read our review of the iO2 to find out more. Oral-B iO brushes In my opinion, Oral-B’s iO line offers the best brushing performance around and I regularly recommend these brushes to friends. But for people who aren’t sold on the advanced feature sets – which include smart brushing feedback, fast charging and a full-colour OLED screen – the prices can be an obstacle....

If the LG Velvet with its dual screen, waterdrop camera design and iridescent colour options was the company dipping its toe into the water of change, the leaked LG Wing is the full-on dive into the unknown.

LG is expected to announce it soon....

Just last week, we were treated to a new iPhone. It’s got the latest A18 chip and Apple Intelligence , but it also starts at £600 for a single-rear-camera-toting phone with a 60Hz display, in 2025. Just a week later and I’m holding what will soon be Samsung’s hottest new mid-range entry, the Galaxy A56, and it’s making me question how just off-base Apple’s latest mobile proposition is. For starters, the A56 clocks in at £100 less than the base price of the iPhone 16e , despite toting twice the internal storage (256GB), but that’s just the tip of the iceberg....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict While we can pick apart little things from the Ulefone Gemini, what we can’t do is take away the fact that it is an unbelievable bargain. You will be hard pushed to find a phablet with the finesse and features of the Gemini for just over £100 especially in the UK market. The phone is very polished and sleek in its use and will be shamefully overlooked when it comes to the styling of the device....
