At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The HP Envy x2 is a sleek tablet and one of the first devices to run Windows on a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. Starting at £999 it’s more expensive than we expected but you get the keyboard case, stylus and 4G connectivity all included. It has an excellent screen and the best battery life we’ve seen on anything at over 20 hours. However, performance isn’t great even on the more expensive model with 8GB of RAM....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict It may sound obvious to compare the MateBook 13 to the MacBook Air, but it’s hard not to. With such similar designs there’s little to tell the laptops apart on aesthetics, but as soon as you look at the internals Huawei’s laptop pulls sharply ahead. The only real compromises are on webcam quality and battery life, though the latter could be a dealbreaker for anyone Considering switching from Apple....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Huawei P10 is an impressive beast – it’s gorgeous, powerful and the dual cameras are a huge improvement over the 2016 flagship, the P9. Portrait mode works better than expected, photos are crisp, vibrant and detailed and even the selfie camera has had a meaningful upgrade. Huawei’s EMUI, one of the most controversial Android overlays, is much better to use than with previous smartphones, and offers machine learning algorithms that should speed up your phone the more you use it....

The global population may be staying indoors to help quell the spread of COVID-19 but for some companies, the show must go on. In Huawei’s case, that means 26 March marks the launch of its new flagship P40 Series smartphones. Despite the name, the Huawei P40 Pro is no longer the head-honcho of the P-Series family, that title now falls to the new Galaxy S20 Ultra -rivalling Huawei P40 Pro+. That said, it’s still fair to look at the P40 Pro as the direct successor to Huawei’s best phone of 2019, the Huawei P30 Pro ....

At the moment, we run into one issue again and again when writing about phone design from the big brands – for the sake of argument, let’s point a finger at the iPhone , Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy handsets. That issue is trying to say something interesting about the tiny, iterative year-on-year changes, which mean that this year’s flagship phone model is only marginally different from the one before....

Google and Oppo’s recent flagships raise the bar for smartphone photography. The Pixel 10 Pro offers an unmatched level of AI tuning and clever features, while the Find X8 Ultra delivers professional-grade hardware that no handset can match. But which one has a better day-to-day camera? Camera quality is subjective, but over the years, phone makers have managed to cram in more tech than imaginable in slim form factors. The Pixel 10 Pro and Find X8 Ultra push the boundaries further, featuring a versatile set of shooters that can zoom in up to 100X and a range of ‘Pro’ settings that let you adjust even the most minute details....

Google’s Gemini AI app on a smartphone is a powerful ally in everyday usage. Just like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot, you can ask the chatbot to write a cover letter for you, create a recipe in seconds based on a few simple prompts, and even plan a road trip. However, it’s the Gemini Live part of the app that is truly impressive. This real-time, live portion of the app uses your camera to scan your surroundings and offer helpful tips....

Honor is one of the most interesting smartphone brands out there right now. Starting out life as a more affordable offshoot of Huawei, it has now cut many of those ties and become an ambitious manufacturer in its own right. That’s paying off too, with data from Searchabull suggesting that Honor is enjoying increased momentum, while Honor itself says that new customers aren’t just coming from the Android pool, they’re switching from older iPhone models....

I’ve been testing and using Pixel phones since they were called ‘Galaxy Nexus’ and one of the best accessories out there is an unsung hero. The Pixel Stand, in its basic form, is just a wireless charger. It’s unassuming in design, but it wields special powers which you might not know about. First a foremost, it’s the only way to charge Pixel phones at their maximum wireless charging speed (almost double a regular wireless charger for certain models), plus the Pixel Stand 2 has an inbuilt fan to keep the device cool and you can choose from different charging modes....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Premium black leather design Easy to use Good quality in low light Cons Limited controls and options Not rechargeable Our Verdict The Instax Square SQ40 isn’t anything new – it’s really just the (cheaper) SQ1 dressed up in a black vegan leather finish. Slight improvements to low light performance help justify the price hike though, and if you want a square Instax that doesn’t feel like a toy, this is your only option....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you need a truly portable power bank for daily top ups, you won’t find a better deal than this Intocircuit PowerMini 3000 Power Bank. Cheap, well built, easily pocketable and with enough capacity to fill most smartphones once, the only drawback is in remembering to recharge the power bank itself after each use.

It’s available in a range of colours including white, black, blue, yellow, coral and red....

Is Kodi legal? Kodi is perhaps the best-known and most popular media streaming app at the moment. It used to be called XBMC and has been around for years.
