At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The first Redmi 8-series phone to make its way to the UK, the Redmi Note 8T offers extraordinary value at £179. This is a mid-ranger with a budget price, offering a 48Mp quad-lens camera, a 6.3in AMOLED display, a 4,000mAh battery and a capable Snapdragon 665 processor. It adds NFC and 18W wired charging to the Redmi Note 8 elsewhere. You’ll struggle to find better value for money anywhere else....

The Great British Bake Off 2025 (AKA The Great British Baking Show) is coming to an end very soon. If you’re worried about losing your weekly dose of wholesome goodness, you should watch the spin-off charity show, The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer. It has the same soggy bottoms, collapsing cakes and innuendos, but all the contestants in the tent are famous. Previous bakers on the series include Daisy Ridley, Michael Sheen, James McAvoy and the presenter of Bake Off, Alison Hammond....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Warbird Gam3r delivers a lot of performance and features for your money, outperforming many other gaming PCs at this price it comes in an attractive compact gaming case and is bundled with appropriate gaming-focused peripherals, but the standard warranty is disappointing. Best Prices Today: Yoyotech Warbird Gam3r Yoyotech’s Warbird Gam3r certainly stands out from the mid-range gaming PC crowd, thanks to the distinctive cuboid shape of the CIT Kube micro-ATX system case....

With a huge array of TVs on the market from all kinds of manufacturers and at a broad range prices, it can be hard to decide which is the right one. A television, unlike a phone, is a long-term investment so it pays to get it right first time. Budget TVs might seem tempting but you’re only going to be disappointed in the experience they can offer. Just like choosing the right car, you’ll thank yourself later for choosing a well-known, trusted and award-winning brand who can bring the latest TV shows and films to your living room how they were intended....

The long-awaited controversial Disney live-action remake of Snow White has arrived with conflicting messages about its heroine. Disney princess stories have drastically evolved since their animated counterparts debuted almost 90 years ago. In the past few decades, the studio has introduced a host of reimagined complicated, powerful heroines who are flawed, rebellious and don’t need the love of a prince. The original plot of this story drastically contrasts with that message: a true love’s kiss saves Snow White, who coasts through life as her father leaves her with her evil stepmother....

It’s been a big year for Google in various ways and on the hardware side, I’ve been testing the Pixel Watch 4. The review embargo has just lifted, but I haven’t tested it thoroughly enough to bring you a full review just yet. However, in almost a week of testing, I’ve learned some key things about the flagship smartwatch, which will compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and Apple Watch Series 11 ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Lightweight Loads of ports Powerful specs Cons Plain design Average display Plastic trackpad Our Verdict Function trumps form in the Swift 3 SF314-57, a budget-friendly ultrabook that’s deceptively powerful and lightweight for its plain design. Best Prices Today: Acer Swift 3 (SF314-57) Acer’s Swift laptops are all about one thing: being lightweight. Design, performance, battery and more are all considerations of course, but when push comes to shove the priority is keeping weight low....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Small & portable Metal heads easy to clean Good for basic massage Cons Noisy Not very powerful Only 2 attachments Our Verdict The Addsfit Mini is certainly portable, but with a 6mm amplitude and only two attachments in the box, there are more capable options at a similar price.

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Apps for most devices Choice of DNS servers (including ad-blocking) Unblocks Netflix, Disney+ and Hulu Cons Full ad-blocking is a separate service Mediocre speeds Issues with the Windows app Our Verdict AdGuard is a solid VPN that offers the basics across a wide range of devices. However, basics are not enough when you’re paying good money, and its service pales in comparison to the best VPN services out there....

The first-ever TV series from the Alien universe has had its ups and downs, but one thing seems consistent: Boy Kavalier (Samuel Blenkin), the CEO of Prodigy Corp and the brilliant mind behind hybrids, doesn’t seem that brilliant at all. One of the things that bugs me most in movies and TV series is when the creators claim that a particular character is the smartest or most fabulous of them all (Carrie Bradshaw, I’m looking at you), but none of the character’s words or actions back that claim up at all....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict With no expandable storage we’d advise against buying the 8GB Fire HD 6 Kids Edition, especially now there’s a new, larger 7in version which costs only £99.99, has 16GB of storage and also lets you add a microSD card. What follows is the original review: What the new Fire HD Kids Edition does is to bundle a Fire HD 6, a tough bumper case – in pink or blue – and a year’s subscription to Fire for Kids for £119....

How much does the new Fire HD 10 cost? The HD 10 costs £149.99. That’s £50 cheaper than last year’s 32GB model , despite notable hardware upgrades (see below). So what’s new in the 2017 Fire HD 10? The screen has been upgraded to a full HD resolution, which means 1920 x 1080 pixels instead of 1280×800. It makes a big difference, with a much sharper look. Alexa is now available on all current Fire tablets, but you have to tap the screen before you can talk....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The HD 10 is more powerful than ever, has a decent Full HD screen and a good amount of storage for the money. Hands-free Alexa is a nice addition, too. If you can live with the slightly limited selection of apps compared to an Android tablet, it’s a good deal. This 7th-generation model (finally) has a full HD screen, a noticeably faster processor, more RAM, better speakers and hands-free Alexa....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict It isn’t perfect, but the HD 6 is really good value. Performance is well above the level you’d expect at this price, as is the quality of the screen. Some might find the 6in screen too small, though, so it’s worth trying to track one down before buying. What’s important to note is that this isn’t simply a Kindle with a colour LCD screen....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Radeon RX Vega 64 is a much-needed high-end update from AMD which delivers significant improvements over the previous ‘Fury’ cards and finally offers a worthy competitor to Nvidia’s GTX 1080. The performance crown still goes to the GTX 1080 Ti. Best Prices Today: AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB It’s been a long wait, but AMD’s high-end Vega graphics cards have arrived, providing a much-needed alternative to Nvidia’s enthusiast-grade cards, matching the GeForce GTX 1080 on both price and performance....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Gorgeous yet durable design Stunning display Stellar performance Strong main camera Cons Terrible zoom photography Poor speakers Slow charging Too expensive for what it is Our Verdict I’ve enjoyed using the iPhone Air more than I expected to, but there are too many downsides to recommend it to most people. Unless you love the ultra-slim design, the regular iPhone 17 is a much better buy....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Slim and light Solid performance Excellent battery life Cons Ugly notch Dim display Limited ports Our Verdict The 15in MacBook Air doesn’t add anything new apart from the larger screen, but it looks great and the battery lasts forever – though a few familiar flaws remain.

At a Glance Our Verdict Wristwatches have never been just about telling the time, just as smartwatches are not just about outsmarting the competition. Whether you agree with the sentiment or not, the watch you wear is as much about making a fashion statement as it is about telling the world who you are and how you value yourself. And it has to tell the time. The Motorola Moto 360 is undeniably stylish, but Apple’s Watch puts it in the shade....
